If anyone feels this needs to be moved to a different title then it should be moved, not copied and pasted. I would suggest gaining consensus here first might also be a good idea. --] (]) 09:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

As ], suggests, if you agree that the outdated title of this page 'Information Technology Infrastructure Library' means that it should be moved to the page 'ITIL', and, instead, the old, outdated title moved to a redirection, please note this here. ] (]) 04:55, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

== Harmonised ratings ==
I've revised all ratings on the page to C-class - since the page is tagged for further citations, it automatically fails the B-class assessment, but is far more extensive than a Start-class would suggest. A B-class review (then updating all three WikiProject ratings) would then clarify if the citations template is still valid, and act accordingly. — ] (]) 11:56, 6 August 2015 (UTC)


== Why is ITIL v2 given so much detail? ==

We are talking about a framework that is literally a decade old at this point (as of 2017), and has been superseded by a 2 new versions. To me, including so much v2 information is confusing and superfluous. Would anyone have a problem if all the v2 information was broken out into its own article, with clear notes that it is no longer considered best practices? ] (]) 19:20, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

External Link to Strategy Management for IT Services (ITSM)

I have observed that Misplaced Pages doesn't have an article on Strategy Management for IT Services (ITSM), listed under Service Strategy Heading.
I have a good article on this topic: Strategy Management for IT Services (ITSM)
As my website is new I'm not putting the link directly in the main article. I'd request other editors to create/improve this Misplaced Pages article with help of the article link given below:
Strategy Management for IT Services (ITSM)
If you found the above article helpful, then please put the link in the main article as external link.--AyanBrahmachary (talk) 10:47, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

ITIL v4: it seems to be "change enablement" rather than "change control"

The article speaks about the "change control" practice in ITIL v4 and states that this name has changed compared to previous versions.

The ITIL Foundation Guide (Limited, AXELOS. ITIL Foundation: ITIL 4 Edition . The Stationery Office Ltd. Kindle Edition.) speaks about "change enablement" rather than "change control".

This may have changed during the development of v4. I'm not closely involved with the ITIL standard, so I didn't just want to make the change in the text without being sure of what really is the definitive term. Ob71 (talk) 13:42, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
