Reservoir capacitor has been tagged to merge with the section of this article Rectifier#Rectifier smoothing filter. I am not the nominator, so my fan club can relax. However, there was no discussion section created for this proposed merge, so here it is. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 20:04, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
This was sloppily proposed and executed, making this merge-action time-consuming to follow:
{{merge from|Reservoir capacitor}}
was placed on
Rectifier § Capacitor input filter
at 21:37, 14 November 2017So, the term reservoir capacitor is not defined now. wbm1058 ( talk) 15:11, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Filter capacitor has been tagged to merge with Rectifier#Rectifier output smoothing, with the nominator's comment "Unsourced junk article, along with Reservoir capacitor. I am not the nominator but I'm starting the discussion section which was not created when the article was tagged. -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 20:04, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
Tag was placed at Rectifier § Rectifier output smoothing but no corresponding tag was placed at Ripple (electrical) § Ripple voltage. No discussion was started. – wbm1058 ( talk) 02:29, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Matthiaspaul: You now have links to both reservoir capacitor and filter capacitor which go to different places. The article claims they are synonyms so there is no justification in having two different links (actually, we have three because there is the pre-existing smoothing capacitor. I would also challenge the notion that the term filter capacitor is applied to this capacitor. I agree that capacitor-input filter is a term, but that doesn't mean the capacitor is called a filter capacitor. The filter follows the reservoir capacitor, it is not part of it. I read the term to mean that the filter takes its input from the reservoir capacitor which is doing a somewhat different job to a traditional frequency filter.

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect AC/DC adapter and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 9 § AC/DC adapter until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. fgnievinski ( talk) 05:38, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
