Media Player (Windows 11) → ? – This software has now been launched on Windows 10. Does this article need to be renamed, because this software is no longer exclusive to Windows 11. 2401:E180:8830:FA27:6B63:7DDC:16D2:F29F (talk) 10:44, 13 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. — Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 13:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 18:04, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment we could use the type of application binary package (executable type) the thing uses... -- 65.92.244.249 (talk) 07:11, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you give me an example (?

what can i change its name to 2401:E180:8863:947E:4E8E:4A7A:2AFF:2690 (talk) 16:58, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be using WinUI/UWP [1][2] which is definitely not what the pre-Metro WMP used. -- 65.92.244.249 (talk) 03:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to rename it to Media Player (UWP), but I can't confirm whether it is a real UWP application, but it does look like a UWP application. 61.216.108.177 (talk) 03:11, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this example is appropriate. I think this new Media Player is a bit like Paint 3D, but Microsoft didn't give the new Media Player a better distinguishing name. 61.216.108.177 (talk) 03:23, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure if the proposed disambiguation terms are recognisable for the average readers to know which Media Player that they are reading about. – robertsky (talk) 03:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

good question 2401:E180:8850:2BC2:7733:9AB1:22B9:96DC (talk) 04:17, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I have the same concern; I don't think we really have precedent for distinguishing between articles on Win32 and UWP programs that have similar names. Other programs with Win32 and UWP versions (such as DVD Player (Windows) and Windows Calculator) have one article for both versions due to lack of content; however, the article for the original WMP is already long, and I think combining the two WMP articles would be awkward as I figure most readers would be familiar with the original version rather than the UWP version. CascadeUrbanite (talk) 04:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At least for now, most users mostly mention Media Player (Windows) is referring to the Win32 version rather than the new UWP version. 61.216.108.177 (talk) 05:37, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recommend merging the articles on both sides. At present, Microsoft is also separating the two versions instead of directly replacing the old version (Win32) with the new version (UWP)

Unless Microsoft really replaces the old version (Win32) with the new version (UWP) before considering whether to merge the articles on both sides 61.216.108.177 (talk) 05:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
