Disputatio:Scientia computatoria

Unienda?

An "Scientia computatralis" et "Informatica" synonyma sunt necne? Oportet statuere, quia ambas paginas ad eandem rem Vicidata adnectere non possumus. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 09:06, 2 Iulii 2023 (UTC)

These are different concepts, held by some (e.g., French, German, Italian, Russian) to be synonymous but considered distinct enough to have separate articles by the largest & most comprehensive wiki in the world, not to mention some other major wikis: in Spanish, for example, the one is "Ciencias de la computación o ciencias de la informática," and the other is just plain "Informática"; likewise in Portuguese ("Ciência da computação" vs. "Informática"); likewise in Japanese ("計算機科学（けいさんきかがく、英: computer science)" vs. "インフォマティクス（英語：informatics))"; likewise in Indonesian ("Ilmu komputer" vs. "Informatika"). Some pertinent distinctions are explained here and in related passages most aptly put under the heading of "Informatics," rather than "Computer science." The article that's on the 10,000-word list at Meta is "Computer science"; hence, as a practical matter, leaving the link at "Informatica" would cost Vicipaedia one point among the wikis ranked according to their treatment of the expanded sample.

Discussion of the same distinction was long ago had in the English wiki here. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 12:36, 2 Iulii 2023 (UTC)
