Calculator input methods

If I made a mistake then by all means go ahead and fix them. And while you are at it you might want to have a look at the other options the Template:Infobox_Calculator offers.

However, you should consider that there are Infix notation speaks about the mathematic concept while calculators often have an imperfect implementation of it and I think it might interest the user just how perfect or imperfect the current implentation is. So a link into the new Calculator input methods might be more helpfull.

Ok, yes a link to Calculator input methods is better. Wikicgc (talk) 14:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I allready fixed that. --Krischik ^T 14:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broken Links

The new Calculator input methods is quite nice. But what you have not noticed: there where 2 dozend section dependent links into the old one. That is every page that links to Infobox Calculator has one or more links like this:

 [[Button-operated_calculator#Reverse_Polish_Notation_.28RPN.29|RPN]],
 [[Button-operated_calculator#BASIC_notation|BASIC]],
 [[Button-operated_calculator#infix_notation_.28with_order_of_operations.29|A.L.]], 
 [[Button-operated_calculator#Direct_algebraic_logic_.28D.A.L..29|D.A.L]]

They now need to be fixed as well. Maybe redirect pages like for D.A.L. are more stable. We then also create pages for V.P.A.M etc. pp.

I think that DAL, VPAM, Natural display etc should be part of the Calculator input methods#Mathematical display section. Wikicgc (talk) 14:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. And this is the way I did it. I also fixed the DAL and VPAM redirect to display the appropiate section right away --Krischik ^T 14:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undo. Adding categories to these redirects just clutters up the category listing with articles that don't exist.

If you do that then you should do it for HP and TI as well. And maybe disuss it beforehand. The CASIO articles should fit with the rest of the calculator articles. Note that I try to have the same look and feel for all calculator articels for all vendors - not just CASIO. Having a single vendor editor undo my work is kind of frustrating.

About a year ago, I redirected all those casio articles to one article casio graphic calculators. Many of the redirected articles contained little information and the titles were often misspelled with mixtures of lower and upper case which do not match what the calculators are really called, e.g. Fx-7400g plus should be fx-7400G PLUS. There are dozens of casio graphic calculators. Those redirects are just the random sample of models for which people created wikipedia articles. There are many more, but Fx-7400g plus should not be linked to just because someone once created an article with that title. Wikicgc (talk) 14:39, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I don't know much about modern CASIO - classic CASIO is my domain. But if they are truely wrong spelling you can also apply for speedy deletion. that would clean up clutter even more. Note that with classic CASIO it is FX-602P so there must have been a change in naming convention at CASIO at one time. --Krischik ^T 14:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the names are wrong, change them. If you want to remove the redirects, take then to RfD. But you;ve tried sucessively Prods and speedies, and neither is a reasonable way to go for this. DGG (talk) 09:01, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, when you put a prod or delete tag on an article, you must say so in the edit summary. DGG (talk) 09:05, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
