Please fix the SHOUTING in the section headings. — RHaworth ( Talk | contribs) 20:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
lucky i checked history first, incorporated new edits into my new editted archive version before saving it, PHEW Petebutt ( talk) 08:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)++==
Will this list show up in a search for one of the listed items. If not how do i get it to do it? Petebutt ( talk) 08:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please put an edit hold on this page. It is getting too big for my flaky connection to save once I've editted. I intend to split it into more managabeable sections, but will need an edit block until I'm finished. Then, any edits people have lined up can be carried out on the relevant sections.

This article was submitted for FLC, but I have removed the nomination because this list is not really eligible for FLC in its current state; it's basically a table of contents for the real glossary. In addition, why is this page a subpage of another article? Dabomb87 ( talk) 18:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Unopposed. Jenks24 ( talk) 05:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
– Standard title case, per WP:AT. Subtitles are first-letter-capitalized as subtitles, per WP:NCSPLITLIST. Consistent and grammatical naming (two were using "USSR/Russian" which will be parsed as subpages, others "USSR Russian" which is gibberish). Put Russian first as more relevant today. It shouldn't be "Russian" by itself, since that implies Russian language (i.e., Cyrillic script). "Aero-engines" didn't seem to mean anything not conveyed in the context by "engines"; if we need to specify, use " aircraft engines", since " aero-engines" has multiple meanings and isn't a common usage anyway. When list articles are split, it is "preferred" to use colons, not en dashes (while the latter are permissible, they're harder for people to use, and don't seem to serve any particular purpose here). "Miscellaneous, materials and nicknames" is redundant; just "miscellaneous" will do, and neither predominate the content of that list, which is quite mixed. I would have just redirected the "aircraft weapons" one to the better-developed "weapons and armament" one, which seems to have been accidentally WP:CONTENTFORKed from it; however, there may be details in the former that are not in the latter but which should be merged in, so move it to a sandbox page for now. Finally, the corresponding Category:Glossaries of Russian aviation should be renamed Category:Glossaries of Russian and USSR aviation along with these articles. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 10:35, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
The {{
term|1=}}
value must be bare text, and cannot contain any formatting. If you need an italicized (or whatever) entry, the formatting must go in the |content=
parameter:
{{
term|Polyarnyi|content=''Polyarnyi''}}
I've fixed all the current cases.
Also, the template-structured glossaries need to be done consistently using the templates for this, or undesirable results may ensue, and you'll miss out on a lot of features, e.g. multiple paragraphs within definitions. All the cases like this:
{{term|PT}} :(suffix) ''Perkhvatchik'' Teplvaya golovka samonavedeniya – interceptor with IR seeker head
need to be redone like this:
{{term|PT}} {{defn|1=(suffix) ''Perkhvatchik'' Teplvaya golovka samonavedeniya – interceptor with IR seeker head}}
A complex case, with multiple definitions:
{{term|PM}} :1. (suffix) ''Pilotazhnyy Modifitseerovannyy'' – aerobatic modified<ref name="Gordon & Komissarov" /> :2. (suffix) ''Perekhvatchik' Modernizeerovannyy'' – interceptor modified<ref name="Gordon & Komissarov MiG" />
{{term|PM}} {{defn|no=1|content=(suffix) ''Pilotazhnyy Modifitseerovannyy'' – aerobatic modified<ref name="Gordon & Komissarov" />}} {{defn|no=2|content=(suffix) ''Perekhvatchik' Modernizeerovannyy'' – interceptor modified<ref name="Gordon & Komissarov MiG" />}}
As long as you load it within the |
(a.k.a. |
of the {{
defn}}
, you can include images, block quotations, multiple paragraphs, even hatnotes (with {{
ghat}}
) in individual definitions. (Don't try to apply them inside the |term=content
; like much of Wikipedia formatting, things are fairly brittle.
If you need to give two spellings of the same term, and don't want separate entries that cross-references each other (which is advised if the spellings are not alphabetically close, e.g. "cat" and "feline") there are two approaches:
{{term|Foo |content=Foo (Fu){{anchor|Fu|foo|fu}} }} {{defn|1=Blah blah blah ....}}
or
{{term|Foo |content=Foo {{anchor|Fu|foo|fu}} }} {{defn|1=''Also '''Fu'''.'' Blah blah blah ...}}
If you need both lower and upper case to link to the entry (often advisable unless it's obviously a proper name and always capitalized like "Mikhail Gorbachev"), use {{
anchor}}
or {{
vanchor}}
in {{
term|...|content=}}
, as already illustrated in the last examples. The {{
term|1=}}
value is always anchored, exactly as-is (which is why it can't contain any markup).
Hope this helps. :-) — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 13:08, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
