Regarding the page title
Why exactly is this page located at "Game & Watch (console)" instead of just "Game & Watch"? I'm pretty certain that the most common use of "Game & Watch" refers to the console, rather than the overall series of games. Tinsatu 16:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
- To help distinguish it from the Game and Watch series of games, and to allow us to have a disambiguation page. ;). Tacopill (Talk) 19:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC).
- The console doesn't need to be disambiguated in order for it to be distinguished from the series of games; that's what Template:Articleabout should be used for. By your reasoning, we would have to move the Wii article to "Wii (console)" just to distinguish it from the Wii series, even though the word "Wii" more commonly than not refers to the console instead of than the series. Also, having "Game & Watch" as a disambiguation page just for the sake of it only complicates things. Most of the pages that currently link to the Game & Watch disambiguation page are referring to the console rather than the series, and most people searching for "Game & Watch" would expect to be taken to the article on the consoles rather than to a disambiguation page. It would make more sense for this page to be located at "Game & Watch". Tinsatu 04:09, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
