Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising → Political Advertising RegulationPolitical Advertising Regulation – The article is about a specific EU regulation and not about the broad concept of transparency and targeting of political advertising as the current title would suggest. The law itself does not contain any formal short title so we have to look what informal short titles are used in different sources. It appears that Political Advertising Regulation (PAR) or Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising Regulation (TTPA Regulation) are the most common ones. I have no huge preference over one or the other, but I would choose the first one as it is the one used on the Commission's website, and it is more concise but still precise and recognizable.

Actually the official text of the law does include "transparency and targeting of political advertising" (see here, full title "REGULATION (EU) 2024/900 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 March 2024 on the transparency and targeting of political advertising")

I am not familiar enough with the taxonomy of EU regulations to say which of the 3 names is best, but that's the source I used as reference to help decide what name to give to the page.

If we want to disambiguate, we could also have a title like "Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (EU regulation)" 7804j (talk) 16:28, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Long titles of EU laws usually follow a format of "Regulation/Directive (EU) [number] of the European Parliament and of the Council of [date] on [subject matter]". Short titles are usually formed by taking the subject matter from the long title (and shorten it if needed since it's often too long) and then add "Regulation" or "Directive" to the end based on which type of EU law it is. Sometimes also a year is added to the end of the short title if there has been multiple versions ("recasts" in EU speak) of the law and you want to emphasize a particular version. The categories European Union directives and European Union regulations have a number of examples. "Transparency and targeting of political advertising" is part of the long title as you pointed out, but I don't think we can consider it be a short title in itself. However, "Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising Regulation" would be fine for me as well. Samoasambia ✎ 13:57, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

That makes sense, I like that last proposal best 7804j (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
