Sciography → Skiagraphy – Per WP:COMMONNAME – terms appear to be synonymous, but latter spelling is more common. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 03:29, 5 July 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 19:20, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Needs discussion since the requested spelling doesn't even appear in the article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:00, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) Agreed. This is not so simple as mere synonyms, more like two (or more) distinct usages of similar words sometimes spelled the same. Note the previous discussion. "Sciography" appears more often relating to the study of shadows in art and architecture ([1], [2]), while "Skiagraphy" (or "sciagraphy") seems to more often refer to the archaic synonym of radiology ([3],[4]), although the spellings are sometimes interchangeable ([5], [6]). We should not have one article for two similar but different subjects. As Radiology already exists, it seems more warranted to simply preserve this article title, add variants in spelling (including sciagraphy) in text, and clarify the hatnote into something like"Sciagraphy is also an archaic term for radiology". --Animalparty!
