===== term: term / tag / theme / topic =====
//One of the [[t:terms]] (etc.) in this wiki//

//There is a template for [[template:term]] definitions, used in the [[t:namespace]] “[[t:]]”.//

I'm using any of these words interchangeably as
covering the names of concepts and the names of categories.

The point here is that there is no sharp distinction between these concepts.
   * A //tag// is usually taken as any word or phrase that a writer (typically of blogs) thinks of as having a significant connection with a post. I tend not to use the word myself, as it is sometimes used in opposition to having a more orderly, agreed category scheme. The point about agreeing these schemes is that greatly facilitates collaboration. Personally I tend not to use the word ‘tag’, because of its association with unstructured [[wp>folksonomies]].
   * A //theme// tends to be a topic of particular interest which the writer writing a series about, or a term that keeps coming up in several posts.
   * A //topic// is something that a writer takes as significant, in a way that it is the main subject of at least one post.
   * People tend to use the word //term// more neutrally or formally, which is why I have chosen it as the actual name of this page, and for terms which I give definitions of in this section.

My own meaning covers any word or phrase I want to define or clarify,
explain my usage if it is not completely standard, or write about because I take it to be significant.
I will try to link from any significant uses of the term, so that anyone (including me)
can cross-refer.
