Talk:Glossary

Categories

I guess this one belongs in nearly all cats NT 17:29, 24 April 2007 (BST)

Yes I suppose we really need the ability to use a wildcard e.g. [[Category:*]] and have it appear automagically in every category listing. In the absence of such a facility it'd be a PITA to maintain it manually so maybe just 'Misc' or something? --John Stumbles 20:41, 24 April 2007 (BST)

I dont mind putting it in each category by hand some day. As and when.... NT 23:07, 24 April 2007 (BST)

Why is there a slightly-modified copy of the article here on the discussion page? --John Stumbles

Whoops - corrected :) NT 09:10, 28 April 2007 (BST)

Ah, so it wasn't part of the master plan then?!

more master ockup I think - NT

BTW what about using formatting it as a definition list like:

Round Tuit

source of energy and motivation for DIY jobs

I'm not suggesting changing it all hand - I reckon running it all through a cunningly-crafted Perl incantation should do it. (I'm happy to give it a shot if you think the result would be worthwhile.)

That's easily done with the text editor, but is there an advantage I'm not seeing? NT 18:33, 28 April 2007 (BST)

I don't see any huge advantage but I think it'd look a bit nicer, be a a bit easier to maintain and look a bit more professional from the POV of anyone coming from another wiki (e.g. WP) since that's the formatting intended for this sort of list.

BTW how would you do it with the text editor (short of changing each one by hand)?
