@krisrodriguez take a look at this guide https://es.ifixit.com/Device/JBL_Flip_4 Looks like a Flip 4 mislabelled as a Flip 6 as well as the device page https://es.ifixit.com/Device/JBL_Speaker

It looks like the same thing, too, one is a different color. It reminds me of the Kindle DX page mess I caught and ran by you.
@oldturkey03, thank you! I'm looking into this.
@oldturkey03, I didn't forget about you. I looked into this and it turns out that you're right, the Flip 4 was mislabeled as a Flip 6. I've gone ahead and made the edit. It should be correct now :)
@krisrodriguez Awesome. Thank you so much!
No sir. Thank you :)

Hey Kris,
I created the following device page for the PS2 Slim model SCPH-900xx with information and repair guides: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/PlayStatio...
Unfortunately someone else created another page for the exact same device just for asking a question: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/PlayStatio...
I already moved the questions from the duplicate device page to the "proper" device page. Now the second page is empty and I wanted to ask if this page can be removed to avoid confusion.
Many thanks in advance!
Greetings
MrJulian

@krisrodriguez will have to delete it but from what I see it looks like they just made a model specific page for theirs, unaware of the "X" page covering all of them.
I make device pages for things like laptops generic since the variation is spec, but some people will still want to make model specific pages or have to due to a project technicality when it can be easily avoided by notating it is for that series and avoiding things like device specs.
@julian_1997 @Nick @krisrodriguez I took care of the duplicate page. I saw all the regional model numbers are listed in the device summary but I added a models sub-header which will hopefully make it more obvious.
@evanga2so Maybe, we'll see. Yeah, this is the same situation as why I called my HP 15-p page 15-p vs 15-p263nr; why? It applies to every 15-p outside of having 2 screws under the battery (which is something I account for).
@nick I see your point but if we would have every region code for every PlayStation-model (1 to 5) there would be a mess in the category page. So adding the model regions in every PlayStation model is a good idea and I will take care about it asap.
@julian_1997 Sadly that can be tricky with the region encoding for some things like chipping them to run import games, but on the other hand if you say it's for the 05, maybe it would work.

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/water_tap
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Faucet
Seems like there are two device pages for faucets.

@sedorr, thanks for pointing this out.
I've made some changes to some guides that were more clearly a faucet than a water tap. In searching online it looks like there is a difference between a faucet and a water tap.
Let me confirm with the tech writers. But, for now, let's leave it like this.

@krisrodriguez @evanga2so check these guides for us please. https://fr.ifixit.com/Device/Logitech_Dr... vs https://fr.ifixit.com/Device/Logitech_G2... Those look like they are dealing with the same device. Eagleeyed user @gogo25171 found those on the French forum

Looks pretty much the same to me. Merge a few things and make one Wiki of the two.
@oldturkey03 I'll take care of the merge. Thanks @nick
@evanga2so thank the Czar for taking care of this :-)
