Rename

Should we rename to Games (disambiguation)? By 45.78.217.4

No. The reason this exists is because there are two different files on the site which use the name "games". This used to be a filename redirect, but it made more sense as a disambig. The Games page itself has all the information that would be necessary anyway, so "Games (disambiguation)" would be superfluous. Basically, this page only exists because of filenames. — Defender1031*Talk 15:23, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Handheld Games Menu

In response to recent edits to this page:

• Per this undo edit all my previous edits were undone with the edit summary '(undid revision 833857; ...except that the HGM's filename isn't/wasn't "games"'.
• At first this explanation did not make sense to me until I came to this talk page to create a new discussion. Above @Defender1031 explained that this used to be a filename redirect to the games menu. But it has since become a disambiguation.
• I stress again, the fact that this page has become a disambiguation page and the reason the Handheld Games Menu was added in order to disambiguate the "games" term.
• In my edit I had also removed mention of the filename Third Games Menu because it didn't make much sense to me for it to be in disambiguation page without appropriate context. Reading the original text, it does mention of the "games directory" but both explanations were poorly worded. ("games" isn't part of the "directory" name, it's part of its filename.) I think this portion of the fact needs to be improved, although that information should go on the article instead of the disambiguation. The undo also reverted other helpful edits which were subsequently improved by Blue Ninja.

Update: I've updated the page so that the mentions of the filename are clearer. --Stux 17:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
