Botafogo/Coca-Cola Station → Botafogo Station – The station, previously known as "Botafogo Station", was renamed to "Botafogo/Coca-Cola Station" in early 2021. However, this has since been reverted, and it is again called simply "Botafogo Station". See:

Recent changes to the Portuguese article;
Reporting of the change from 17/nov/2022 (not a great source, to be fair);
Station website archive from 04/nov/2022, compared to the current station website (missing the "Coca-Cola" part);
Report and photograph of the updated signage by Twitter user Paula Johns;
Tweet by official account from 12/dec/2022 calling it simply "Botafogo Station", after an inquiry explicitely mentioning "Botafogo/Coca-Cola Station". This is the first explicit mention of the station's name I found since when I presume the change took place.

This change was seemingly not announced (and barely reported upon), so I did a bit of digging. Up until Saturday, 05/nov/2022, it was still officially called "Botafogo/Coca-Cola" (see Tweet by official account). Reports of it being changed can be found on Twitter starting from Monday, 07/nov/2022 (see @johnspaula's Tweet, @vucaslieira's Tweet). My guess is that the change likely took place on Sunday, 06/nov/2022, after hours. — Avelludo (Talk / Contribs / Log) 03:19, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
