I would like to propose that we build a dictionary 
There are a lot of terms used here and it can be confusing to some of us....myself included.
Like the term "piston valve" yes the valve uses a piston of some sort; but is it a barrel seal or chamber seal?
What exactly is a coaxal?
Some may not know what a QEV is...
Now I know that this is no easy task.... but I think it will simplify discussion and inspire new ideas....there are so many valve types that they need distinction and their own identity.
I made a piston valve is like saying I modded a sprinkler valve! WOW you modded a sprinkler valve.... was it a jar top or conventional top (they require different modd procedures)..... was it an in-line sprinkler or anti-siphon sprinkler...... or one of those weird ones that go IN a pipe?
And when you have a problem with "said" valve we will be able to diagnous it faster. It just makes sence to narrow our vast topics of our simple hobby...... |

| I agree that a dictionary would be extremely helpful on the wiki and on this website... I might just have to create one and add it to the wiki |

lol thats the main wiki page...
I think what he means is to have a standard one.... like....
Banana-a tropical plant of the genus Musa, certain species of which are cultivated for their nutritious fruit. Compare banana family.
Turkey-a large, gallinaceous bird of the family Meleagrididae, esp. Meleagris gallopavo, of America, that typically has green, reddish-brown, and yellowish-brown plumage of a metallic luster and that is domesticated in most parts of the world.
etc... I mean the wiki is kinda like that but instead of having seperate pages for each word have a long list... like a cheat sheet to spuddin. |

There might be some differences in opinion on some definitions however, for example to the English:
| Quote: | ass1
–noun 1. a long-eared, slow, patient, sure-footed domesticated mammal, Equus asinus, related to the horse, used chiefly as a beast of burden.
2. any wild species of the genus Equus, as the onager.
3. a stupid, foolish, or stubborn person. |
While across the pond:
| Quote: | ass2
–noun Vulgar. 1. the buttocks.
2. the rectum.
3. Slang. sexual intercourse. |

^^Just like Baked has two meanings.
I like the idea, I've been confused a few times reading the wiki, though a little more searching answered my question, I don't know...
Heres one definition though
Blood: Noun, something that is required to become present during the construction of a project for it to truly be built correctly. |

Yes:
| Quote: | cake1
–noun 1. a sweet, baked, breadlike food, made with or without shortening, and usually containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs, and liquid flavoring.
2. a flat, thin mass of bread, esp. unleavened bread.
3. JSR, you post enough of your workshop failures on spudfiles.com, don't start including your forays into the kitchen now  | |

Well, should we just put a index page on the Wiki, with all the regularly used terms in alphabetical order, and links to the appropriate page?
That's probably the single best solution here. |

| Someone could just create a main link off the main page on the Wiki to go to a dictionary (which would just be a new Wiki page) |
