Appendix talk:Video game consoles

RFDO discussion: June–December 2014
If this were more than a bunch of links I'd probably not care about it, but as it is this can hardly be called an Appendix. -- Liliana • 20:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Bleurk, delete. One of those cases where someone's pet hobby overrules their sense of what is appropriate dictionary content, like all those anime and Harry Potter appendices we recently (mostly) got rid of. Equinox ◑ 20:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Why not just use this idea to make a category? Category:en:Video game consoles Rædi Stædi Yæti  {- skriv til mig -} 20:10, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * My thought exactly, actually, since abbreviations curiously manage to be exempt of CFI rules altogether... -- Liliana • 20:13, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * So the category will really be "Category:Abbreviations of video game console names"? Sounds super useful. Equinox ◑ 20:15, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually it would be "Category:en:Abbreviations of video game console names", because abbreviations may be slightly different in other languages. Rædi Stædi Yæti  {- skriv til mig -} 20:43, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete: Most of the things in the appendix probably fail NOT anyway as brand names Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 23:00, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not something a dictionary needs to have. --WikiTiki89 23:07, 24 June 2014 (UTC)


 * For comparison purposes, here are the Appendices of the Chambers Dictionary I have on CD-ROM. Readers can draw their own conclusions; I'm just going to say that they don't have a list of Pokémon. So: "some first names" (we already allow names); "phrases and quotations from foreign languages" (largely classical, i.e. Latin and Greek, but also e.g. cherchez la femme, grosse Seelen dulden still, etc.); alphabets (Greek, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic); Roman numerals; Internet suffixes (wow, I was surprised!); Bible books; Shakespeare plays; chemical elements; SI units; various scales (Beaufort, Mohs, earthquakes, wine bottle sizes, wedding anniversaries); math symbols; physical constants; conversion factors (paper sizes, temperature, etc.); and planets and major satellites.
