I couldn't find any discussion about this on the category suggestion page - has this one been approved? And if it really has, for what purpose? Given the few articles that have already been categorized here, I don't see any system behind a category that contains, among others, Alpha shift, America and Distress call. Everything could be considered "terminology", apparently, so should we categorize the whole encyclopedia here? -- Cid Highwind 22:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- I initially proposed Category:Computer terminology on Memory Alpha:Category suggestions. Captain Mike suggested the overcategoy Category:Terminology to contain computer terminology and other terminologies, so I just followed his suggestion. And, no, the intent isn't to categorize the whole site under Terminology; I was adding items that didn't fall readily under anything else, and that were more definitions of terms than actual articles in their own right. I'm open to suggestion, of course. :) -- Renegade54 23:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
My first suggestion would be to move or copy the discussion that led to a category creation to the talk page of that category ("here"), so that that discussion isn't simply lost. Second, What Memory Alpha is not states that articles should not be simple definitions, so if those articles are, we should probably move/merge them or work on them to become articles. I still don't think categorizing them under such a broad term is a good idea. If this category was simply suggested as a super-category to various "XYZ terminology" categories, it could even do without any article categorized directly. -- Cid Highwind
Computer terms
I'd like to propose the creation of a Category:Computer terminology based on the Computer terms list. I think there's enough there to justify a new category, and most of them are currently uncategorized. -- Renegade54 20:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps create an overcategory Category:Terms or Category:Terminology. Is this the best way to phrase it? -- Captain M.K.B. 20:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- I like Category:Terminology best -- Renegade54 21:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Can we go ahead with this, if there are no objections? -- Renegade54 14:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Provisional?
I removed the provisional tag, seeing it's been there for nearly two years. – Cleanse 03:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
