Ministry of the Sea (Portugal) → Ministry of Maritime Affairs (Portugal)Ministry of Maritime Affairs (Portugal) – Maritime Affairs is the correct name for the ministry, but when trying to move it says an article with that name already exists but it doesn't.

- How is "Ministério do Mar" "Ministry of Maritime Affairs" rather than "Ministry of the Sea" ? Dr. Vogel (talk) 08:55, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

- @DrVogel: - the official English name appears to change depending on the government. In the 21st government, it was "Ministry of the Sea". In the 22nd, it was "Ministry of Maritime Affairs", and it is currently the "Ministry of the Economy and Maritime Affairs". BilledMammal (talk) 12:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm always weary of the assumption that just because something is mentioned with a certain name on a website of a non-English speaking country, that automatically means it's the "official English name". It could well just be that an intern or someone got paid to make the "English" version of the website, and they, intentionally or not, "enhanced" the original.
- In the Portuguese version it's called just "do Mar".
- And our Portuguese colleagues don't even mention the longer name.
