Wiki: Two glossary pages

Post by Merkuri »

These two pages should probably be merged:

http://lmwcs.com/rptools/wiki/Glossary
http://lmwcs.com/rptools/wiki/Macros:Glossary

I feel like the Macros:Glossary page should be turned into a redirect to the regular Glossary page because we should be moving away from having a "Macros" namespace.

Also, somebody should add "VBL", "LBL" and "topology" (or at least VBL). It really took me a long time to figure out what "VBL" stood for.

Glossary is/was a 'system' glossary that handles the tooltips. Due to how it handles terms with spaces, it has an odd ordering.

Craig recently changed where the extension looks for the Glossary terms; for the very reason of merging them. ;)

This is a good point - however, there are two glossaries for a reason (which may not still be valid). One glossary is for the little "tooltip" that pops up over certain words when you pass over them; the other one is just a straight text glossary with no special awesomeness.

The problem is that if you want a tooltip glossary, it's not very readable; but if you want a formatted glossary, it won't work with the tooltips.

Edit: I'm a doofus. I shoulda looked at the links before I shot my mouth off.

Yes, definitely, those should be merged with extreme prejudice!

You probably looked at those links after I had merged them. >.> What you recall being the case, was the case. ;)
