The result of this discussion was to split the chemistry and compounds section into Silicon compounds and leave a summary. ¹⁴¹ Pr {contribs} 16:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that the chemistry and compounds section be split into Silicon compounds - the section is rather long, and it conforms with the other compounds articles. Thanks, ¹⁴¹ Pr {contribs} 20:11, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Ideally, you’ll leave a paragraph-length summary and hat note here. YBG (talk) 01:16, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
