Madghacen

I have some problem to edit this page , Where is adminastrator ??????????? --Great11 (talk) 21:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, but what problem are you having? —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 22:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I removed the extra space you were putting into the reference tags. They should be formatted like this <ref></ref>. In fact there's a handy button at the top of the edit window to put them in for you. Hope this has helped you. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 22:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Mausoleum

It is not clear whether Madghacen or Medracen or Medghassen or Madghis also spelled Imadghassen, or Medghacen is a name for the tomb or for the king.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 09:14, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry , but, there are many books , arabic, french, translation is not easy , the writer scribe different word, but the name is from berber language--Calise (talk) 08:11, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Madghacen → Medracen – It appears that "Medracen" is by far the most common name for this monument in reliable sources. E.g.:

"Madghacen" appears rarely and doesn't even register on Ngrams, which clearly favors "Medracen":
Google Scholar search returns 2 results (discounting an irrelevant third hit) of "Madghacen" versus some 76 results for "Medracen". (Note: if you search "Medracen" alone it returns 133 results, but some of them are about unrelated topics; so there's some variation depending on how you narrow down the search, but the overall picture is clear either way.)
All the reliable sources I've seen, which includes all the ones currently cited in the article, simply use "Medracen".

This seems likely to be uncontroversial given the evidence so far, but I'm opening this formal discussion in case there's something I've missed. If there is, please explain with citations to reliable sources. R Prazeres (talk) 01:58, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Support. M.Bitton (talk) 02:18, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Support per nom, notingt the French, German & Italian wps use this. Johnbod (talk) 03:15, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Pronunciation-wise "Medghacen" is probably more correct in English (the "r" in Medracen is the throaty French or German sound, not the English voiced alveolar approximant), but I support the move if it's just about source-conformity. Ideophagous (talk) 13:48, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
