G20, without the hyphen

The official page https://www.g20.org/ doesn't use the hyphen - they consistently refer to the "G20". I suggest that we should do the same.

Note that I propose changing "G-20" to "G20" but not making any other change to the article title. (I see there has been previous discussion about the title.) Mitch Ames (talk) 01:58, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

– Use of "G-20" vs "G20" (without hyphen) is inconsistent across Wikipedia. Even though "G-20" appears in more article titles than "G20", within single articles both uses often occur. 2014 G20 Brisbane summit and 2006 G20 ministerial meeting use "G20", and although it might be unusual to bring the majority in line with the minority, the WP:OFFICIAL name (what the G20 calls itself) and the WP:COMMONNAME (what the group is commonly known as) are both "G20" and that should be what is used. This would also be consistent with "G8" and "G7" etc which seem to be the majority of uses in Wikipedia (compared to "G-8" and "G-7"). If these moves are agreed I will undertake to ensure consistency of the use of G20 throughout the articles and fix G20 (disambiguation) Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:05, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: Yes, you're right about List of G-20 summits. If this proposal achieves consensus I'll move that page too as not contentious. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 04:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
