Maybe Iām missing something, but it seems like the wiki isnāt labelled as suchāas in, there isnāt a part of the site called the āwikiā. Thereās also the ātags portalā which refers to the āEA Forum Wikiā, but as I understand it that page essentially is the wiki. The language is confusing.
Should there be a section of the site called the āwikiā that lists all these pages? Or maybe even consider renaming tags to wikiāwhere posts on the forum can be ātaggedā with a wiki article.
(The URLs for tags should probably more conventionally be in the format /tags/<tagname>, not /tag/<tagname>. Going to /tag gives a 404.)
Weāve gone with a different naming convention than LessWrong (they say āConceptsā while using the same ātagsā URL), but given the amount of code our sites share, it will take some time to disentangle our terminology from theirs.
Iād like our āTags Portalā page to eventually have the name āWikiā, and people should think of that page as the āhomepageā of the Wiki.
Or maybe even consider renaming tags to wikiāwhere posts on the forum can be ātaggedā with a wiki article.
The āTags Portalā contained a section Iād titled āArticlesā but have just retitled āWiki Articlesā. The first words of that page remain the same:
This page displays a list of articles in the EA Forum Wiki.
Some of these articles are also tags that can be added to posts, so that people can find posts on certain topics. You can upvote or downvote a tag for a given post to move it higher or lower in the list of posts on that tagās page.
Note also the second sentence of this post:
Some of these articles can be applied to posts: we call those ātagsā.
So we have similar intuitions, but I use the word ātagā to represent an article that can be used as a tag, because saying āI tagged this post with article Xā also seems confusing.
Weāre still trying to figure out the extent to which having āwiki onlyā articles make sense (and what fraction of articles donāt work as tags). If we end up making all articles usable as tags, the distinction between āarticleā and ātagā disappears, which will lead to more terminology change.
