This is a vote to make this page deprecated. This page will be almost impossible to maintain and its funtionality nearly placed by Special:Allpages. If no objections are recieved here by 2/10/06, this page will cease to exist. --Zaventh 14:30, 3 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.-- PhantomSnake
