Let me know what we're thinking. I'd be happy to make the changes if we decide they should be made. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 16:26, 29 July 2022 (UTC) | Let me know what we're thinking.

: I think a note on the main page would be a bit overkill for such a specific vocabulary issue. We do have a [[Conventions]] page, but I think it should be limited to the elements that are used all over the wiki, like number precision, cents as standard logarithmic measure and so on. Specific vocabulary issues should be addressed in their own articles. In general, the preferred term is the first that appears in the relevant article, while the alternative terms should be in parentheses after the preferred term, sometimes with a word to qualify the rarity of the alternative term (e.g. see [[Dyad]]). See also [[Wikipedia:MOS:BOLD]]. That rule, in itself, could be mentioned in the Conventions page, if that helps. | |||
: As for the term discussed here, for some reason, I came across "uniquely consistent" more often, but it's probably just a matter of which pages I've browsed. Anyway, I also think that "distinctly consistent" is clearer. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 19:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC) | |||
