- Co-Redemptrix → Coredemptrix (currently a redirect back to Co-Redemptrix) (move · discuss) – Cannot swap page with its redirect because redirect has two lines of edit history instead of one Jdcompguy (talk) 18:47, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- International Marian Research Institute at University of Dayton uses Co-Redemptrix, as does Catholic and secular media such as Zenit, National Catholic Reporter, and the LA Times. Mannanan51 (talk) 20:55, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- The word "Coredemptrix" is borrowed from the Latin language. The Latin root is "redemptio" with a "co" prefix and a "trix" suffix; these do not take hyphens in Latin. Sometimes in English it is stylistically rendered as "Co-redemptrix" or, less frequently, "Co-Redemptrix", in imitation of words like "co-pilot", but the original spelling is the unhyphenated form. In Italian, which is the closest modern descendant of Latin, the equivalent word is "Corredentrice". Jdcompguy (talk) 21:46, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
