1g0 – Glossary

Page history last edited by cx650t 12 years, 11 months ago

Puzzled by PQ? Thrown by 3G? Nonplussed by nVidia?

Here's hoping our handy Glossary can set you straight, like a bridge over troubled water.

Glossary Project Lead: 7e10 – Sujith Prathap

NB: See the Project Conversation below the Glossary Index for formatting conventions.

Project Conversation

  • Good start, Sujith. I've tabled a formatting improvement, since the [ Table ∇ ] pull-down menu on the editing toolbar makes working with tables quick-&-easy, and tabulation makes glossaries easy to read. Gotta include 3G and nVidia since they're in the intro line! – dalinian 16:25 01 Jan 11
  • Placeholders in RedBoldItalicCamelCase need replacing with appropriate content. – dalinian 22:15 01 Jan 11

 

Systematising Revision 1

    • Term column – text only 

      • items are tagged as 'Heading 4' – from the [ Format ] pull-down menu on the EDIT toolbar; this enables them to be hyperlinked to from anywhere in the Wiki, including inside the glossary table's Explanation column
      • items are Bold and in text colour 'Black' – top left on the text colour pull-down menu on the EDIT toolbar
    •  Expansion column – text and microGraphics

      • items are Bold and expand on the item in the Term column
      • each item has a microGraphic (200px wide max), which optionally links to the full size graphic (with the addition of a ref in the Expansion column reading, eg: (left - click to enlarge)
    •  Explanation column – text only, cross-linking to Terms

      • Avoid "It is..." and begin with a sentence incorporating either the Term or the Expansion
        • eg – from EDGE: not "It is a digital mobile phone technology..." but instead "EDGE is a digital mobile phone technology..."
        • on its first occurrence, the the Term or the Expansion is in Bold
      • internal cross-linking – words in the body text of an Explanation column field that exist in the Glossary are cross-linked on their first occurrence in that field 
      • generalist entries have a last line in italics (preceded by a line space) beginning with a a bullet character • (alt+8 on OS X) that often begins with "• ADAM..." contextualising the Term with reference to ADAM or NI 
    • More Info Links columns – internal and external links

      • I've systematised hyperlinking by sub-dividing the More Info Links column into NI FAQ Wiki internal links and External link columns.
      • Supplementary text, eg: 'on Wikipedia' is in 8pt – from the [ Size ] pull-down menu on the editing toolbar
      • NB: all links in the 'External' link column should be set to 'Open in a new window' – see 'How To Make External Links open in a New Window/Tab' on 7d – Wiki Editing Tips-n-Tricks for an illustrated 'How To'

Re-Linking our 27-Page Glossary 

  • Now our magnificent Glossary is divided into 27 ‘Page-too-big’-proof manageable pages (Numeric, A, B, C, ... X, Y, Z), we need to re-link the Glossary Table entries: 
    • the 'internal' links in the Explanation column need re-linking to other Glossary entries 
    • the 'external' links, from substantive pages in the Wiki to Glossary entries, need re-linking
  • For your fully-illustrated guide as to how to do this, please see: How To Re-Link our 27-Page Glossary on our 7d – Wiki Editing Tips-n-Tricks page.
  • All the entries in the Glossary Index Table above that are in italics (eg: Genesis) still need re-linking.
  • Once you’ve re-linked a Glossary entry, please remove the italicisation (eg: Genesis --> Genesis) for that entry from the Glossary Index Table above, so we can see which ones have been done already.
