Re: Latest Mods

Many thanks to Hyphz for the numerous entries he put in.

Enough that I'll be redoing the format slightly to better offset the letters...

Format to use

Just finished editing the Lexicon pages to make it look a little better...

Given that, I'm putting up some guidelines for entries:

• use Definition syntax, i.e., semicolon and colon in the left-hand column:

;word: What the word means
:Additional information

• put two blank lines between entries
• don't forget to add actual links to relevant web pages (such as the link I put in to "Real Ultimate Power" under "Ninja")
• put in an Origin if you know it
• references to other entries in the Lexicon should be in bold. (They should also be there, which is why we need entries for 'min-max', among other things. :) )

Have fun with it... --Lord Knockwood the Mad 21:44, 17 May 2005 (PDT)

Topic Creep

I've noticed some topic creep going on. As I understood it, this project was for the collection of humorous definitions, but I've noted a fair proportion of serious definitions creeping into the list. Before I just go stomping about in the petunias, I thought I'd ask if anyone objects. Does anyone object?

Alternately, are we sure this is being handled in exactly the right way? It would seem to make sense to me to move these terms to their own pages in the main namespace, and create to subcategories under terminology: Jargon and Lingo.

Jargon is the correct term for specialized vocabulary used in a profession or hobby because the denotative definitions of the words only apply (or are only used in that sense) within the field in question. The Jargon category would therefore contain all "serious" definitions -- i.e., the ones we all learned from some rulebook or other.

Lingo is the proper word for that collection of slang and myth/legend references which mark one as a member of a culture or subculture. The Lingo category would be home to the humorous definitions and stories of their origins.

Any comments on this idea?

Re: Topic Creep

Well, you got me on the 'serious' definitions... the main reason many of them are there is because they're referenced in other definitions which fit the theme better. (NPC is a good example.) On the other hand, one of the reasons this is called the Lexica project (as opposed to just a Lexicon) is because it's supposed to be a bunch of lists... jargon and lingo, as you said. Right now we've got a link to the Category in the main page, it might actually be better to have a place for the more formal definitions and migrate a few entries there, with links.

As for individual pages for each definition, I can't help but think the overhead of that many pages would be far too high. For now I think it'd be better to keep it in the letter-group setup. Later on, if the lexicon gets much larger, maybe we could split it up into 2-letter groups (like the old Gamer Jargon site had) or even individual letters.

Some definitions--or more to the point, 'gateway' entries--could have links to their own pages, if there's a need for lots of explanation on a topic. Say, maybe an entry on 'character archetypes', or a list of Movies You Must See To Understand Us. :)

BTW, Adalger, thanks for the tweaks you've done... I'd been meaning to put in 'Previous' and 'Next' links. --Lord Knockwood the Mad 19:23, 3 Jun 2005 (PDT)
