"Compu" is most prevelant, and is currently the recommended name for computer related stubs. Compu-sci-stub aparently already has a redirect to Comp-sci-stub, which seems backwards. --Ohms law 16:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose compu-sci. CompSci is definitely the generally accepted short form of Computer Science.  I'm not sure about the comp-eng one.  ~ Amalas  rawr  =^_^=  17:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, but the problem that I see is that all of the other templates are Compu-. see: for a list. If I had my way, eevry template would be Comp- rather than Compu-, but Compu- seems to be the predominate form so I'd think we would want to be consistant. --Ohms law 17:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * There's obviously a certain tension here between the competing conventions. On balance, I'd suggest:  move comp-eng- per nom, keeping new redirect (i.e., the old name);  don't move comp-sci, keep existing redirect.  Alai 19:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the redirect be reversed for Comp-sci-stub? Is consistancy with other names more important, or is individual names more important? If someone does put in Comp-sci-stub and sees that it is redirected to Compu-sci-stub, that will instantly show them that all the computer stubs are names Compu-whatever-stub, which seems logical to me. --Ohms law 15:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
