Talk:Intel Pentium

I redirected this page to Pentium, because it doesn't make much sense to redirect it anywhere else. I forwarded links to this page that appeared to be referring to the original, P5 microarchitecture, Pentium. Links that appeared to be referring to the whole family (or were ambiguous) are still pointing here. Spacepotato (talk) 23:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I originally installed the redirect when the old Pentium article (which is now Original Intel Pentium (P5 microarchitecture)) got moved to make way for the Pentium (brand) article that is now in the place. The reason for redirecting to the P5 page was that pages linking to Intel Pentium typically referred to P5 specifically, not Pentium as opposed to Celeron/Core/Athlon/... I agree that it's more logical to redirect Intel Pentium to Pentium, but please check Special:WhatLinksHere/Intel Pentium and change the links where appropriate. Most of them seem to have changed in the meantime and some should probably link to Pentium compatible processor instead. Arndbergmann (talk) 08:39, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I already did that, as I mentioned above. To be more precise, I went through Special:WhatLinksHere/Intel Pentium and redirected these links to Original Intel Pentium (P5 microarchitecture) where it seemed more appropriate.  If a link is still pointing here, it's because I thought it made more sense to point it here, or that it was ambiguous. As you say, some of the links still pointing here perhaps could/should be redirected to Pentium compatible processor but at any rate I think it's an improvement over the previous situation.

 * Ok, fair enough. Some of the ones that are left are among those I thought were meant for P5, but it seems you're right in general. Also, Pentium does link to Pentium compatible processor (and to P5), so it should all be good now. Arndbergmann (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
