	:::Agreed that we'll need more votes, also for changing the name. Glossary is the most appropriate name in my opinion. To support my opinion, I present the following definition of "glossary" from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary Wikipedia]: ''A glossary is a list of terms with the definitions for those terms... In a more general sense, a glossary contains explanations of concepts relevant to a certain field of study or action.'' Some examples of glossaries on other wikis: [http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Glossary wiki.kde.org], [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Glossary hrwiki.org], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Glossary wikipedia.org].--[[User:PhantomSnake \| PhantomSnake]] [[Image:PhantomSnake 2005 1.png]] 14:33, 11 Feb 2006 (EST)		:::Agreed that we'll need more votes, also for changing the name.

			::::Alright. I retract my vote to remove this page. I think it does have unique value. However, this page should not be a substitute for the [[Special:Allpages]] page. --[[User:Zaventh\|Zaventh]] 10:36, 24 Feb 2006 (EST)

	:I think the Glossary serves a different purpose than [[Special:Allpages]]. The Glossary specializes in terminology, ''words'' and ''expressions'', but not ''things''. For example, '''Flameblade''' would not appear in the Glossary. In addition, the Glossary can contain links to articles that don't yet exist, thus motivating contributions to the wiki and also allowing people to request articles. I vote for the Glossary to stay.--[[User:PhantomSnake \| PhantomSnake]] [[Image:PhantomSnake 2005 1.png]] 09:56, 9 Feb 2006 (EST)		:I think the Glossary serves a different purpose than [[Special:Allpages]].
