Somewhat related to all of the above, but apparently a small group of editors has decided that the JEDEC definitions of kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, etc. are "deprecated" based on a poor reading of the definition [https://www.jedec.org/standards-documents/dictionary/terms/mega-m-prefix-units-semiconductor-storage-capacity here]. See {{tl|Quantities of bits}} and {{tl|Quantities of bytes}}, and the discussion at [[Template_talk:Quantities_of_bytes#Deprecated|Template talk:Quantities of bytes]]. It's relevant here because {{tl|Bit and byte prefixes}} which is included in [[WP:COMPUNITS]] and is similarly designed, also contains a "JEDEC" header. —[[User:Locke Cole|Locke Cole]] • [[User talk:Locke Cole|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/Locke Cole|c]] 17:32, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
