In practice we seem to have no particular naming convention for which form of "Saint"/"St."/"St" to use for churches which aren't in English-speaking countries. While we use "St." and "Saint" for some basilicas in Rome, as already noted, for St Mark's Basilica in Venice we use "St". MOS:SAINT (a guideline) says "If the word "saint" is included in an article name, the standard formula is to keep it unabbreviated except when referring to a name with typical abbreviation (e.g. St. Louis, United States)." That is followed by the section MOS:PARTSAINT more specifically dealing with church buildings, which lightly implies that "{Church building} of Saint {X}" is the default, but allows for "St" and "St." as variations. However, WP:CHURCH (an essay) rather contradicts that by saying that an abbreviated form should be used, even though it cites MOS:PARTSAINT.
Standardising to "Saint" for churches without WP:TIES to a variety of English would have some slight practical advantages over abbreviated forms, because the article titles would automatically sort alphabetically in categories without the need for a sort key spelling out "Saint", and links in the body text of other articles which copy the article title with "Saint" would never break with the variety of English in which they're written.

Support per nom and this seems like a reasonable default to apply, barring TIES or other subject-specific considerations. I appreciate the thorough explanation. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk22:11, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
