Hello Kostja. There are multiple sources describing the 1992 referendum as an independence referendum, e.g. [https://apnews.com/article/b980353468c8a8647b999f02e109d53c Associated Press] or academic papers like [https://www.persee.fr/doc/cemot_0764-9878_1993_num_16_1_1052 this], while [https://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/22/world/tatars-vote-on-a-referendum-all-agree-is-confusing.html others] state that the wording of the question implies it was about independence. [https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/4/20/remembering-referendums-tatarstan-and-crimea This] is quite a good discussion of the vote, which it seems may have been deliberately ambiguous.

:Even the Associated press article mentions that the Tatarstan President did not want to secede from Russia, which is an obvious precondition for independence.[[User:Kostja|Kostja]] ([[User talk:Kostja#top|talk]]) 00:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
::I disagree, and you need to get consensus for these changes. I would suggest that the referendum article's talk page is probably the best place for a wider discussion. I have started a discussion there – open to it being turned into an RfC to attract more input, or it could be mentioned at [[WT:E&R]] and [[WT:Politics]].
