So weird. This is just the word for 'church' in Ukrainian. Why not just call it a 'church' in English? As far as I can see, Polish seems to be the only language that uses a similar (but not identical!) word specifically to distinguish an Orthodox church from a Catholic one (cerkiew, as opposed to a Catholic kościół). I get that UNESCO uses the word, but do most reliable sources do so, too? 62.73.72.3 (talk) 19:43, 13 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
Ukrainian also makes the distinction between церква and костьол/костел. This article is specifically about the World Heritage Site (not wooden churches of the Carpathians in general), so the usage of the official phrasing makes sense to me. Shwabb1 ⟨taco⟩08:41, 2 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Shwabb1: I guess that's fine, we can leave it capitalised for now – the majority of soures do seem to do so anyway, so it's compliant with MOS:CAPS. Although if anybody else does object then it would still need to be reverted per WP:RMUM. Thanks for your work on this article. —Amakuru (talk) 20:20, 17 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
