Talk:Glossary: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:30, 11 February 2006

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

We'll need more votes to make a decision either way here. However, perhaps if to keep this page it should be renamed to "Terminology" rather than a Glossary. Glossary just seems more all-encompassing which I would expect to find more than just terminology in. --Zaventh 10:30, 11 Feb 2006 (EST)
