	I find overlapping information on these two pages. I am in favour of moving the glossary into [[General Tips]]. However, the alternative is to carve what belongs to the glossary from [[General Tips]]. I prefer the former because the latter would necessitate an additional entry to [[Main Page]], while leaving the current [[General Tips]] rather empty. Something appropriate should be done, regardless of which. Opinions? '''''[[User:Icy\|Icy]] 21:36, 19 March 2009 (CDT)'''''		I find overlapping information on these two pages.

	:The General tips page seems like a weird place to have a glossary. I'd like it as a separate page, especially if it gets much bigger, but the Main-page entry issue is a valid point.

		+	: My original reason for creating a glossary page was because I had come across terms on this wiki that I had never seen before and didn't understand. (For example [[Beginner's Fighter Guide]] uses 'DPS' a fair bit whilst never defining it; perhaps that's okay for an experienced MMORPG player who has just started Fiesta, but it's hardly useful for a true beginner.) Having a central glossary allows the use of jargon without the terms having to be explained again on every page that they are used.
