Peripheral
Hi, thank you for your contributions. I note your recent revert here. Computer peripherals in fact redirects to Peripheral, so I'm definitely puzzled as to why you thought this hatnote to be inaccurate.

I also note your recent creation of Computer Peripherals (disambiguation). Such a dabpage is unnecessary, per WP:ONEOTHER, and I can't say I understand why you object to its deletion. 162 etc. (talk) 21:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The history of the disambiguation page is more complicated—it was left over from the original page move, and I changed from being a redirect to the company. Another editor later renamed it as part of the process of getting everything to land in the right place after the move was reverted. There was agreement, I think, that nothing should get redirected to the company article. My objection to the deletion at this point is that even people typing the capitalised version are more likely to want peripherals than the company page. At the time I first objected, it was still called Computer Peripherals. Without it, the only search result for computer peripherals was the company page, which made no sense.
 * My undo of the hatnote was a mistake, and I'll undo my undo. Apologies for that one.
 * As for the reverted move of the company article, I'm going to make an RM request for that if I've the energy, as I do feel it's important for the natural meaning of an article title to match the subject. If it does get changed to something less misleading, I think the disambiguation page will then be redundant, as per my struck-through text on the talk page.
 * I hope that clarifies things a bit. For now, everything seems to be pointing where it should. Anyway I'll undo my undo of the hatnote. Musiconeologist (talk) 22:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Now done. Musiconeologist (talk) 22:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I should add that I'll have an easier time opening the RM discussion for Computer Peripherals if the structure of the various redirects and disambiguation pages stays stable for a few days. I think they should all be discussed together. Musiconeologist (talk) 00:05, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
