This is the discussion page for Glossary. Click here to start a new topic.


Discussion pages are for discussing improvements to the article itself, not for discussions about the subject of the article.


It would be nice if there was a one sentence description after each of these terms. That way this will be a real glossary page that can be skimmed and understood without needing to click to the larger encyclopedic pages for each term. --Lbstone 21:09, 8 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I've added a bunch of terms in here. These are all terms that I found from existing articles. To see which articles I got them from, you can click on the term then follow the "what links here" link on the left of the page. --Lbstone 17:42, 10 Jul 2005 (EDT)


You can see that I also created a "glossary" template that links all the glossary terms back to the main glossary page. --Lbstone 17:42, 10 Jul 2005 (EDT)


Certain terms don't seem to warrant a link to their own page. For example, film advance and lens barrel - what more is needed to descibe these terms than their one line descriptions? It seems bombastic to have a page saying exactly the same thing and nothing more. Perhaps we should put some thought into what terms really need a whole page of description and for which one, short sentance is enough. --Mhtaylor 14:18, 19 Jul 2005 (EDT)
