I would like to change the phrasing of these lines " Mangalore ranked India's 13th place in top business destination and in Karnataka it is second after Bangalore. Mangalore is growing like Dubai of South India in terms of highrise buildings & skyscrapers. The city houses some of the tallest buildings in South India. India's first 3D planetarium with 8K resolution display is located in the city" to make it sound more academic. Wikivaith (talk) 12:48, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Infobox language

English is not official/administrative language of Mangalore.

As per Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Bill, 2022 , Kannada is solo official language of Karnataka. UnitedUK (talk) 19:29, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Fix spelling of "administrative"

• What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}): Change "aministrative" to "administrative" in section on languages.
• Why it should be changed: Spelling error
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

Religious Persecutions in Mangalore

Mangalore has witnessed several periods of religious persecution throughout history, impacting different communities at various times.

Persecution of Mangalorean Catholics (1784–1799)

During the rule of Tipu Sultan, Mangalorean Catholics faced severe persecution. In 1784, following Tipu Sultan’s conquest of Mangalore, approximately 60,000 Catholics were forcibly deported to Seringapatam, where they endured forced conversions, imprisonment, and executions. Several churches were destroyed, including Milagres Church (Mangalore), Rosario Cathedral, and St. Joseph’s Church. Many survivors returned only after Tipu Sultan’s death in 1799.

Attacks on Hindu Temples

Similarly, Hindu communities in Mangalore faced temple destruction and forced conversions. Several temples, including the Kadri Manjunath Temple and Sri Venkataramana Temple were damaged or attacked. The Sringeri Sharada Peetham, a significant Hindu monastic institution, was looted and desecrated, leading the Maratha Peshwa to fund its restoration.

These events have shaped Mangalore’s historical and religious landscape, influencing cultural and communal dynamics in the region. Calmjelly24 (talk) 04:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Mangalore → Mangaluru – I think it's worth revisiting this discussion again given the result in Bengaluru. Firstly, WP:TITLEVAR states this title should follow Indian English rules, and as this is an article about an Indian city, then long-standing guidelines tell us we should be using Indian English wherever possible (quoted from Talk:Bengaluru). Some analysis is below. Unfortunately Mangaluru isn't always in Western media, so the data we have is quite limited, though I think it still shows Mangaluru as the common name.

Newspaper	Manglore	Mangaluru
The New York Times	0	0
The Guardian	2	0
Reuters	52	2
Associated Press	2	2
The Daily Telegraph	0	0
BBC	0	2
CNN	0	0

Newspaper	Mangalore	Mangaluru
Hindustan Times	619	1,420
The Hindu	4,050	145,000
The Indian Express	268	384
The Telegraph	38	38 (tie)
The Daily Star	1	0
Dawn	0	0
South China Morning Post	2	0

There is also the argument that if Bengalore -> Bengaluru, common sense implies Mangalore -> Mangaluru though this is a bit weaker.

• Support - per Indian media. The international media doesn't have enough coverage to conclude anything. Indian media clearly sides with Mangaluru. Manthara^talk 09:31, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
• Support It's high time that name is changed to official name. It is adopted in most of the places by this time. Like Bengaluru, Prayagraj, Chennai, Mumbai, Ayodhya, Kolkata etc. All Databases are getting updated one by one and Wikipedia as an Encyclopedia cannot fall behind. -Vijethnbharadwaj (talk) 19:12, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Support per nominator, and per WP:ENGVAR (and especially WP:TITLEVAR) — the common name has definitely pivoted, especially in Indian English (which is the WP:ENGVAR of this article itself). Paintspot Infez (talk) 21:07, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• Support: Indian sources that regularly talk about the city seem to have shifted to Mangaluru, so, given the policy of using national varities of English, the page should be moved. regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 04:54, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

  Support yes ofcourse Should have been done already Aniketkhan14 (talk) 16:37, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

• Support - per WP:TITLEVAR also per google books Ngram Mangaluru is more used after 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwizardinho (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
• Weak support – seems reasonable enough, I don't feel strongly either way but the data here does show Mangaluru to be favored in Indian sources and very little use elsewhere, which is enough for me. (@Matrix: It would be nice to have the time period for the table; I'm assuming it's either since 31 October 2023 or 1 January 2024, given the former was used in the Bengaluru/Mysore discussions and the latter is a clean cutoff, but I don't know for sure.)

There are many information on this page are far from reality. kanndigas are really trying hard to Kannadize the Tulu names of the city and villages. The significance of Mangalore is known nationally and internationally. Some people are deliberately trying to impose Kannada language and culture on the history and name of Mangalore.

Mangalore was renamed Mangaluru by the Karnataka Government on 1 November 2014. Wikipedia uses the WP:COMMONNAME in English, not the WP:OFFICIALNAME, so did not, initially, change the name. After several discussions over the intervening years, in April 2025, it eventually agreed to rename the article by a 7-0 consensus, as clearly shown in the section above. Please respect that consensus. - Arjayay (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

Inclusion of multiple names of Mangalore in local languages within Infobox

I keep seeing that whenever someone lists the names of mangalore in the infobox, it keeps getting removed. How come? I believe that we must list the names of Mangalore in every major local language spoken within Mangalore proper in the infobox. Listing just Tulu or Kannada does injustice to the other local languages. Ddsouza1975 (talk) 19:29, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Please add the names of Mangaluru in Konkani and Beary (Both widely spoken in Mangaluru) to the Infobox:

Kodial (Konkani)
Maikala (Beary)

OpenSaned (talk) 11:17, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

•  Done The names are listed as being native names later in the article itself so it makes sense to add them into the infobox too. ^{Sidenote: I actually found some leftovers in the source code from an apparent previous attempt to add the Beary name to the list.} ―Maltazarian ^{(talk$\lor$investigate)} 09:03, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
