2007年4月7日，有管理員提出將「粵語維基百科」嘅名稱更改為「廣東話維基百科」。亦有支持者話：「叫『粵語』有好鬼死文縐縐，冇人會話：『我識講粵語』。」（叫「粵語」過於「文雅」了。無人會講「我會講粵語」）。亦有維基人認爲噉嘅講法冇廣泛嘅依據，表示呢個名稱並唔適合。其他觀點亦喺討論中提出，包括政治正確、元維基的語言政策和指引、地域主義等等。喺冇共識嘅情況下，沿用「粵語維基百科」嘅名稱。粵語維基百科「城市論壇」內的相關討論 （頁面存檔備份，存於）。然而，粵文維基百科在主頁會出現三個名稱。除了「粵語維基百科」外，還有「廣東話維基百科」、「廣府話維基百科」，每次隨機選擇一個顯示。
On 7 April 2007, an administrator proposed to change the name of "Cantonese Wikipedia" to "Cantonese Wikipedia". Some supporters said, "It's very rigid to call 'Cantonese', and no one will say, 'I can speak Cantonese'." ("Cantonese" is too "elegant".) No one can say, "I can speak Cantonese"). There are also Wikipedians who believe that there is no broad basis for such a claim, suggesting that the name is not appropriate. Other ideas were also raised in the discussion, including political correctness, Meta-Wiki's language policies and guidelines, regionalism, and more. In the absence of consensus, the name "Cantonese Wikipedia" is used. Discussion in the Cantonese Wikipedia "City Forum" (page archived at). However, the Cantonese Wikipedia will appear with three names on the homepage. In addition to "Cantonese Wikipedia", there are also "Cantonese Wikipedia" and "Cantonese Wikipedia", which are randomly selected and displayed at a time.
