 "glossary should probably also include any other fighting game terms that eventually show up on the wiki"

Yeah, for sure.

I added a few more.

Anything that is used in-game or within the community makes sense to add.

 "maybe it could be categorized too, like "gameplay terms" "competitive terms"

I thought of doing that when I created the page. E.g. "Tournament terms," etc.

A downside of that is that once we alphabetise the table (hopefully we can get a table that will auto-alphabetise.. I've looked into it a bit), if someone wants to find the meaning of a term, they'll have to look for it under each heading.

And if they're looking for a term, it probably means they won't know what it means, so they won't know which heading to look under.

It may be more elegant to have people just scan one alphabetised list and have all "A" terms in one place, all "B" terms, etc.

We could potentially add navigation headings for each letter if it gets long enough, but that would make for a very long (and probably for now, unneccessary) navigation menu.

We could add in another column as a way of categorising things, but I tried that, and it didn't feel very cohesive.

What might work is having two headings:


 * Fighting game basics

That may provide enough categorisation to make it a bit easier for people to browse through, while limiting it enough that if you can't find the word you're looking for on one list, you can just skip to the next one.
 * Tournament terms

I feel more than two headings moves it towards "too many places to look for a term" land.
