Category talk:Glossary

Someone had posted this on Explorable Areas. Crucial Comment

Your terminology is wrong all over the place. They are not called "Adventure Zones"; they are called "Explorable Areas." Look at their main page where they talk about adding new explorable areas in the first big update. Why is it that this user felt fine with editing the page to add a criticism but not correct the errors in terminology? hehe, odd... anyway, i am modifying the article to refer to Explorable Areas by the correct term, but mention that they are sometimes referred to as Adventure Zones. - LordBiro.

XP
XP should be categorised in here, as it is both slang and a common game term. However, as it is currently a redirect, it can't be categorised. Is there a way around this?--Kathryn Maulhammer 17:24, 23 Jun 2005 (EST)

If XP has a seperate meaning to experience points (I'm not sure if it does?) then I would take off the redirect and add it to the category. 20:41, 23 Jun 2005 (EST)

It's not that XP has a seperate meaning (except a crappy OS), it's that XP is slang, while Experience Points is terminology. As you said, this is an encyclopedia, it should have listings for everything. XP should be listed as slang.--Kathryn Maulhammer 04:45, 24 Jun 2005 (EST)

How do I add a new article? Editing the main page's content does not add new articles, nor does adding new definitions to existing articles.

Abbreviations
Related to the above discussion about XP being in the category and Experience Point not, we have DOT and DD as articles but not damage over time or direct damage. I think the latter should be the article names, but as pointed out, that means DOT and DD won't be in the slang category. Any suggestions about what we can do? --Fyren 10:09, 15 Jul 2005 (EST)

Ampersand
Should the ampersand be changed to "and" like it was for skills and formatting? Also, any ideas on the abbreviation thing above from a while ago? --Fyren 07:28, 11 Aug 2005 (EST)

upper case vs lower case
I suggest to use lower case for all sentence abbreviations (like AFK) since that is the most likely way they will be encountered during gameplay or elsewhere. plus imo it looks better. --drone9 02:51, 22 Aug 2005 (EST)
