I like that idea. But how would we deal with old links? We can't just deprecate a link and not replace it. If they call it ITN, it will still be called ITN if it points to [[WP:NEWS]].

I've raised this issue on the [[In the News]] page, but got little response.
Rather than unilaterally propose a change on the page, I decided to bring in here first to see can we get a consensus here initially.
A lot of users refer to the above page as ''ITN''.
...
ITN is their registered name, not ours. For our own sake we should stop people using ITN when they mean our page. If necessary a new name is needed for the page to avoid a serious problem happening and seriously pissing off the real ITN.
I agree it's confusing.
ITN probably came about via the [[WP:ITN]] shorthand (compare references to RFC, RFA, VFD, CV, and so forth); would it be worth deprecating this and trying to spread the use of [[WP:NEWS]] as the reference?
