Removing "WikiProject" prefix

Здравствуйте.

Я не говорю по-русски. Позвольте мне написать вам по-английски.

[На английском]

I am Daniel, from Spain. I would like to change the name of the wiki pages related to the Russia mapping project to remove the "Wikiproject" prefix according to the pages name conventions [1].

The name of the pages related to the Russia mapping project would be "Russia" or "RU:Россия" (name of place) instead of "Wikiproject Russia", as recommended by the wiki conventions. It is a change that I have already made in United States [2], Canada [3], Spain [4], Australia [5], New Zealand [6], South Africa [7], and all Spanish-speaking countries [8]. The pages of Israel, Denmark, Norway, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, India and Philippines have also been renamed.

I could make the necessary changes. All pages with "WikiProject" prefix will be redirected automatically. There will be no broken links in any case. I'll make sure everything works correctly, just like now.

Do you like the idea? I have posted this message on the wiki in case you prefer to comment there [9].

Thank you for you attention! Greetings from Spain.

Regards,
Daniel

PS: Thanks to Darafei Praliaskouski and Walter.
