    • Style guide?

    Posted by Gary Cunningham-Lee posts: 36 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Japan

    This may be overly anal but, ideally, the use of terms should be consistent throughout TikiWiki documentation. I'm part way finished with an updated version of the Directory docs (based on the tw.o pages) and am wondering what the consensus here is on, for example, "TikiWiki" vs. "Tiki" vs. "Tiki CMS". Even things like "Website|Web site|web site" can be distracting and unprofessional if the inconsistencies are too obvious, especially within one page.

    What I'm doing for now is using "TikiWiki" the first time the term appears in a page, and "Tiki" thereafter.

    I believe I saw some message about a glossary in another thread. That could be the reference, if somebody put it together. Or maybe just a style guide page for Tiki documentation that focusses on terminology, to complement what 's already written about formatting.

    IMHO, the only valuable terminology is the one found in the language.php... Hoping that it is consistent.
