Review Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

The text further on says that this English translation is misleading -- which it is -- so where did we get it from? From a glance at its website, the Museum itself doesn't use any English name but highlights the abbreviation MNAA. We shouldn't use a misleading name as our pagename, unless there's a convincing source for it. The collections are of pre-modern, not ancient, art. Andrew Dalby 14:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. But the English pages on the Museum's site are rather empty, so not sure how they'd prefer to translate it. The English "Ancient Art" appellation is found frequently in travel guides. (e.g. [1]). That said, "Antiga" does translate to "Ancient". Unfortunately, "Ancient" has some rather specific connotations in English culture that other languages don't. e.g. French don't confuse Ancien regime with Egyptian, Greek or Roman antiquity. The French term l'art ancien coincides with the Portuguese parameters of MNAA. Only the English might be confused, so the clarification is necessary.
