Small form factor (desktop and motherboard)Small form factor – Unnecessary disambiguator. Small form factor redirects here. There had been an attempt to make a disambiguation page there, but that was a totally non-MOS:DAB-compliant page, and there is no meaningful ambiguity (permalink). The term "small form factor" can be colloquially used to refer to sizes of other types of hardware (for example, SD cards, but that is incorrect because their form factors are "full", "mini", and "micro", there is no "smallSD") but that is sporadic. The phrase appears in the name of a particular format: Small Form-factor Pluggable. Of course, there existing a page "Small Form-factor Pluggable" does not indicate that the page "Small form factor" needs to be disambiguated as the two titles are not co-ambiguous. —Alalch E. 11:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Polyamorph (talk) 09:31, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphens

[edit]

A former language teacher tells me that hyphens are needed when this precedes a noun. So the title of the article should be small-form-factor PC. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:09, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphens

[edit]

Chris the speller thinks it is best to not use hyphens in Small Form Factor. here I've removed some of them, but I think the title needs to be changed. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
