Israeli cuisine article renamed on English Wikipedia (Zhug to Sahawiq)
Sometimes I buy this coriander sauce at a local market and it is labeled Z'hug. I googled it, to check the various spellings.
I noticed that the English Wikipedia changed the name. I looked on the talk page and the last entry (July 2024) was about the spelling of the page title Zhoug (Zhug). It seems to me the change of the articles title was not discussed. I looked at the page history, someone changed it in September 2024.
Previous discussions were in favor of keeping Zhug (or Zhoug) because it was the name by which it became known in English-speaking countries.
Which is also the case in German speaking countries. Zhug (Germany), Zhoug (Swizz) and S-chug (Austria).
