The result of the debate was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus^(talk) 01:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC) Wafer (cooking) → Wafer — The primary meaning of "wafer" appears to be the edible type. There are more articles linking to wafer (electronics) than wafer (cooking), but most of the links to wafer concern cooking (or allusions to it). Peter ^Isotalo 13:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

1. Support. If my understanding is correct, the typically shaped food gave its name to things that ressemble it (in shape, by the two-sided pressing technique that shaped it). Thus for such other meaning, the original tells the etymology of the newer usage (and thus a wrong link passing by the article would not be so terrible, provided a link to newer usage is at the top of the page). It is still the prevailing common usage, outside specific fields and the normal interpretation unless the context clearly shows another usage. — SomeHuman 9 Jan 2007 16:38 (UTC)
2. Support I don't think I've heard of another type of "wafer" unless as a sland term for a skinny boy. 205.157.110.11 01:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
3. Support The food wafer is the namesake for the electronic wafer, which is referenced almost exclusively within a limited subcommunity of tech folks. --Serge 06:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
