 i.e. Wii is now at Nintendo Wii, Dreamcast is at Sega Dreamcast.... I was just thinking which page should have the article, and which should redirect. I personally feel the page should include the full name, e.g. Microsoft Xbox 360 and have Xbox 360 redirect to that. Any other opinions? [[User:Chris|Chris]] 14:44, 23 May 2007 (BST)
-:They are all on pages with their full names, just not with the manufacturers names. The [[Wii]] is a Wii, it is as simple as that. There isn't more than one type of Wii (eg Sony Wii and Nintendo Wii). You often would say it is a Nintendo Wii, so that people who don't know what it is will have some idea what you're on about. It is the same with cars, you have an A3 or a Ka or a Mondeo or whatever - that is the model name of the vehicle. You don't need to say "I have a Ford Mondeo" every time.

 :However, I do accept that this is the way [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondeo things] are often done, I am just in favour of shorter titles. Notice that Wikipedia does [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3 not] add "Sony" onto the front.
