Semi-protected edit request on 22 July 2019[edit]

In the Consumer models section please add the Taycan 64.222.180.90 (talk) 17:53, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: per WP:FUTURE. Information on the Taycan is currently listed in the § Hybrid and electric vehicles section. Once it's officially released, it should have a Wikipedia article written about it, then be added here. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 18:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 16 April 2020[edit]

For increased clarity, please change this: The headquarters for Porsche AG is in Stuttgart, and is owned by Volkswagen AG, a controlling stake of which is owned by Porsche Automobil Holding SE.

To this: The headquarters of Porsche AG is in Stuttgart. The company is owned by Volkswagen AG, a controlling stake of which is owned by Porsche Automobil Holding SE. 109.157.228.226 (talk) 19:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change "for" to "of"? Done! DarthFlappy (talk) 19:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 26 October 2023[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. With the RM at Talk:Porsche Boxster and Cayman now closed, consensus for the articles here to use 'and' is also clear. (non-admin closure) BegbertBiggs (talk) 15:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]


– I request that the titling format of Wikipedia articles about Porsche car generations be changed from [make] [generation] to [make] [model] ([generation]). The problem with the current format used here is that these articles are titled as if it's actually the real model of the car, when it's a name for the generation of the car. For example, the Porsche 992 is still marketed as, and actually called, a 911.[1][2] By changing the titling to the latter form, it makes it clear that the article is about a generation of a car model, rather than it being ambiguous between whether it's a car model name or car generation.

This naming change would also make these articles consistent with how Wikipedia articles about generations of other make and models of cars are named, e.g. the article for the fourth generation of the BMW 3 series is titled BMW 3 Series (E46) and not BMW E46. The 8th gen Honda Civic article is titled Honda Civic (eighth generation), not "Honda 8th generation" or "Honda FAx/FDx/FGx/..." or whatever.

Can you explain why you use a slash for the "Boxster/Cayman" ones? If that isn't its title then per MOS:SLASH a slash shouldn't be used there. Gonnym (talk) 11:41, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym: Because the Porsche Boxster/Cayman article is titled like that, with a slash. — AP 499D25 (talk) 12:16, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing me to that article. Gonnym (talk) 13:11, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - while I and many others will simply say "Porsche 993", it is in-crowd jargon and not the actual name. Also WP:CONSISTENT.  Mr.choppers | ✎  14:46, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support but without the slashes, as per the suggested move at Porsche Boxster and Cayman. The suggested page names are clearer and more precise. Tayste (edits) 20:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support - along with the move to Boxster and Cayman. Chassis codes are a perfect example of MOS:JARGON to be avoided. IPBilly (talk) 13:39, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Relister comment - there is clear consensus to move to the Porsche 911 titles with the generation in parentheses. Consensus is not yet clear on the "Boxster/Cayman" titles. Relisting to clarify the destination for these specific titles. Polyamorph (talk) 09:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There's another RM that has been started over at Porsche Boxster/Cayman to move that article's title over to Porsche Boxster and Cayman. — AP 499D25 (talk) 11:32, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It has in fact been moved to Porsche Boxster and Cayman; this RM should also be closed, with the articles in question using "and", not "/". 162 etc. (talk) 14:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
