Wiki terms, or HRWiki

Is this for all wiki terms, just us, or both?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 03:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Both. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 03:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Okay.-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 03:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Defining

I am trying to define some of these but I cannot accurately define these. Can someone try to help with this? Rogue Leader / (my talk) 04:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm trying too, but I have the same problem.--  Bkmlb(talk·contribs) 04:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I have added 1/4-1/2 of the content. The rest I am having trouble with. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 04:36, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

We have to be EXTREMELY careful. I just got an edit conflict, and on this page it takes a long time to restore edits. Lets try to divide this among some people. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 04:45, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I know. We were both trying to define the exact same thing, but you got there first. I'm also being a little careless in hopes of not getting an edit conflict.-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 04:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Style

Make sure to keep it a down (lowercase) style unless it's a proper noun. And please keep definitions concise. — It's dot com 04:50, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Miss Nomer 2005

Why is troll "techinically a misnomer"? Does it just mean that they're not actually hairy green monsters, or is there something I'm not getting? —AbdiViklas 05:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Although we do have some bona fide trolls, usually we should be using the broader term vandal. See Wikipedia:Internet troll. — It's dot com 05:55, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Well a troll would be someone who makes big changes that hurt the wiki and a nome is the opposite. They make small changes that help the wiki.-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 13:46, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

A troll is someone who edits and maks comments specifically to get us angry (usually trying to get us defensive) - these people get off of making others mad. A vandal on the other hand does it because it's destructive. Similar effects, but a different motivation. NSMC and WoW for example are vandals, but the people who edit with things like "you have no life" would be (unsuccessful) trolls. --phlip ^T_C 14:55, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
