Terminology

Status: Semi-official, but in desperate need of cleanup before it can be truly official.

Status Update: Somewhat a CandidateForDeletion. This is lagging behind the real effort made on this, and is slowly bitroting. Once done with the first DocumentationRelease, we should check on what's in here and see if there is still things to do. Furthermore, this page name is probably just bad and may be reused for something else. -- dmppanda 18:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Status: Right now this page is just a rough collection of items that accompanies the effort of RestructuringTheDocumentation. Feel free to add new (existing or yet to be made) items!

The idea behind this is that I felt I could have a list of all terms that are explained in the wiki to remind me to use their WikiNames when copy editing text. BTW please try to avoid single word WikiNames because these are BadWikiNames--DonRedman

Many, if not all, of these should be listed underonce they exist, and can be found through the BackLinks on that page.

For the following terms I suggest that we not use the names as WikiNames but make a page explaining the broader concept: 

• Voting:

• HowVotingWorks

• Editing:

• HowEditingWorks

We also have HowAnnotationsWork and HowMusicBrainzWorks. These should probably be used for detailed explanations, with other WikiNames used for more basic explanations.
