:I understand you logic, but since the article does not need disambiguation with any other article, there is little need for a change in name; though just as long as the categories at the bottom are correctly labeled. If you read the article, you'll find that the word was originally a hoax. Though it has a pseudo scientific meaning, it's not really a scientific word at all - lest not any more so than Marry Poppins 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. The addition of the suffix (word) will only serve in preventing the article appearing when the "go" button is hit, requiring the user to use the "Search" button and thus decreasing usability while at the same time increasing the load on the server.

Let me put my concern another way, then: do we intend to have an article about the thing--under that name? Or is the ''thing'' covered completely under [[pneumoconiosis]]? --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 13:23, 30 November 2006 (CST) | |||

I think, perhaps, that this should be titled instead Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (word), because the entry does not concern the thing but the word. --Larry Sanger 19:36, 29 November 2006 (CST)
