RfC about proper usage of this country's name

Given a lack of consensus of prior RfCs on the issue of names for this country in article text, I have initiated a new RfC at WikiProject Africa to settle this manner rigorously. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:41, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

The admin in the above discussion suggested future discussion should take place at WP:THE. Pathawi (talk) 17:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
These are slightly different issues. WP:THE and the above discussion were with regard to article title. The new RfC appears to be about the name when it occurs mid-sentence in article text, which would fall under MOS:THEINST. --FyzixFighter (talk) 14:34, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't think MOS:THEINST is the right guideline—it's about the use of the definite article with institutions, independent of name. The RfC at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Africa explicitly cites the above discussion as motivation. Pathawi (talk) 05:34, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Transport

Wondering why there is no "Transport" section in the article, not even a brief mention about the country's transportation. Rasnaboy (talk) 17:23, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Well, just added one from another article. Nevertheless, the section needs more citations. Will try to find more on these. Rasnaboy (talk) 17:35, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

What next for capital "T" in The Gambia?

I'm starting a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style#What next for The Gambia? about how to followup on the RfC which changed Misplaced Pages style to use a capital "T" for The Gambia mid-sentence and mid-article title. Please participate in the discussion there. Thank you,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:01, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

That discussion can now be found at Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style/Archive 227#What next for The Gambia?. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:33, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
The RfC was later changed to "no consensus". The discussion referenced above is now archived as described above. I should have noted that change here when the closure was changed; my apologies for any confusion. SchreiberBike | ⌨  00:48, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
