I have reinstated what Dsreyn called in an edit summary "overlinking". I know that usually we only make a link the first time a term appears in an article, but in a glossary such as this, that approach isn't best, because it isn't the sort of article you read through from start to finish. If somebody comes here to look up a specific term (as they likely will), it's probable that they will only read that single glossary entry, and won't think of skimming backwards through the article to see if terms contained in that entry have been linked elsewhere. I think it makes sense, therefore, to link much more liberally than usual; the restriction should be to link the first term in each glossary entry, rather than the first term in the entire article. --Camembert 15:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm new here, so not certain how to use all these talk, edit, discuss, features. So this is the only place I could find to post for discussig the change I made and that you deleted and then I changed and made again that you apparently moved and altered it. Let me know if there's a simpler way to have this discussion or pvt message me (I don't even see where that is done, I'll have to read up on the help files.) In any case, the reason for me change should be clear. You might not know and there may not be an alternative word, but the one listed is a racist phrase and there's nothing wrong with stating that it as so. The context does not change that fact. That some people find it offensive in any context is real. This isn't some "political correctness" campaign; it's an objective discription of reactions to hearing that phrase (at least in some quarters of the United States). Dictionaries frequently to do so for racist or derogatory language that are still in use.

Why isn't this article organized like Glossary of chess is organized? (Benefit: then specific terms in articles could be wlink'd, as is often done for terms in the chess glossary found in articles.) Don't know what it would take to reorg this reference article to match the chess glossary structure; in the meantime, does anyone object if it is reorg'd to match?

For improved readability, does anyone object if I de-italicize intra-glossary term links (when said terms are simply part of text in sentences, and not specially emphasized as words/terms, e.g. "See also term_name.")? --IHTS (talk) 01:10, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
