I'm not arguing that we should move the article, I just came across the term 'classical' and wondered if it might be the one we want to use. —

I split it off in an attempt to give the topic better balance: A central article for the script, and separate articles for each of the alphabets. This is what we do for Latin, Arabic, etc. The articles clearly need a lot of work, but I'm not sure reverting the split is the best way to go. —

The comparison with latin and arabic doesn't seem very helpful, because their situation is very different. Instead of a common script with alphabets for many languages, here we have a series of steps and branches in a historical development, most of which have fallen out of use, and all of which relate to the same language. In fact, the way that the mongolian script is used today, it is really a cumulated combination of many of the historical side branches. Any split between "script" and "alphabet" is rather artificial and confusing in that situation. --

It looks like there are some confusions in those articles.
Mongolian alphabets is about mongolian scripts (not only alphabets),
Mongolian script is about variants of mongolian (traditionnal) alphabet.
Traditional Mongolian alphabet, that is about mongol bitchig, that means traditional mongol, is the only one that has a correct name.
