This is a discussion about the Dictionary entries moved from my [[User_talk:Tjoneslo#Dictionary_.26_Basic_Article_Entry_.282016.29]] talk page. As a starting point is the [[Manual_of_Style#Dictionary_Entries]]. My point in this discussion was that the dictionary entries have a different layout from the main library entries. 

:: I agree about dictionary entries. What I then suggest is that dictionary entries have a designator in parentheses like (worlds).
:: It would be word (dictionary).
:: Because a lot of the entries have what could be a good basic article as well as the definition.
:: They are or should be two different fish.
:: For example, the article on Sophontologist will eventually be expanded to a full article by me or someone else.
:: At the same time, it should also have a dictionary entry.

::: There are two suggestions I take from the above notes: 

::: I take from your suggestion you would like to move ''all'' the dictionary entries to include the '(dictionary)' tag. I dislike the idea of moving ''all'' the articles this way. My preference would be to leave the dictionary entries where they are. 

::: We need a better definition of what should be in the dictionary entries and what should be library entries. I would think the [[Sophontologist]] entry should be simple dictionary entry (A person who studies [[Sophontology]]), rather than a longer Library entry. The [[Sophontology]] entry should be the longer library entry. Most of the existing dictionary entries are glossary terms from the existing canon sources. And I think that is a good starting point. Glossary terms should be dictionary entries.

-:::: I like both dictionary articles and pages. I think some more expansive topics will simply have one of each.
-:::: What do you think?
