Sometimes i wonder if he's right...
Can Captain Cynical tell me whether it's ok to have glossaries in
Wikipedia? What about lists of terms? What about lists of dictionary
definitions of terms? What about slang terms in certain subcultures?
What about lists of such terms? What about individual definitions of
various words?
(I think the answer is: Yes, no, no, maybe, no, yes but only if the
article goes beyond that).
I'm still feeling guilty that I supported the successful deletion of
"List of fighting game terms", whereas if it had been renamed
"Glossary of fighting game terms" it would apparently have been ok.
