Talk:Domestic AC power plugs & sockets/Decision-making time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK, we've got to make a decision. We currently have a main article about plugs, and a couple of more specific articles about individual plugs. There are two options:

• Create an article for every type of plug by copying and pasting content from my article into new ones.
  • Pro: Yay, the more articles the better!
  • Con: Oh no, a pile of unnecessary reduplicated content!
• Turn those articles into mere redirects to Mains power plug.
  • Pro: Nice and tidy. Hate waste. Keeps the info together.
  • Con: Never! Deleting articles is evil! I sold my granny into slavery so I could work on that text!

Please discuss/vote on this. I'll then implement whatever you decide. — Chameleon My page/My talk 12:33, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I rather like it the way it was done for UK plugs last time I looked: a couple of paragraphs here, and a link to a page covering the UK type in more detail. I like having the full list on one page, it's rather impressive. — Tarquin 16:44, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I find it impressive too. I think it's a credit to Wikipedia. Therefore, I'm likely to always make this page totally complete. If you look on the BS 1363 page, you'll see there is less info about BS 1363 than here. — Chameleon My page/My talk 17:33, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
