# How to rename a service

The consensus is to consider that a service provider renaming a service (for example, `Twitter` to `X`) is akin to terminating the previous service and opening a new one. Therefore, to apply a service renaming, open a pull request that both [terminates the previous service](#how-to-terminate-a-service) and adds a new [service declaration]({{< relref "terms/how-to/track-terms#declaring-a-new-service" >}}) with the new service name. You can reuse the `terms` part of the original declaration, but should double-check that the selectors and URLs still match, as a service rename is most often accompanied by a new page layout, a new domain name, and sometimes entirely new terms.

If the service provider stops offering a service, the associated terms will become unavailable. To mark that service termination in Open Terms Archive and ensure tracking attempts are stopped, while maintaining the possibility to explore the history:

1. Move the existing terms declaration to the service [history file](#terms-declaration-history).
1. Move the existing terms declaration to the service [history file]({{< relref "declarations-maintenance#service-history-reference" >}}).
2. Update the declaration to stop tracking all terms, by removing every `<terms type>` entries from the `terms` key in the declaration:
