:: [[:Category:Featured Articles|Featured article candidate]], an article that has been proposed for consideration to be featured as one of the best in OrthodoxWiki.

:: A [[w:flame war|flame war]] which spreads, seemingly uncontrollably, beyond the pages where it began into unrelated articles' talk pages. A forest fire becomes progressively more difficult for any user to keep track of. On Wikipedia, this is less of a problem than on other [[w:wiki|wiki]]s, due to well-established boundaries for [[OrthodoxWiki:Request for comments|user conduct]], clear guidelines for [[OrthodoxWiki:What Wikipedia is not|article content]], and a formal [[OrthodoxWiki:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution process]].

:: Page A page that provides information about WikipediaOrthodoxWiki. Meta pages are more correctly referred to as [[OrthodoxWiki:project #Project namespace|project namespace]] pages. Meta pages should not be confused with a page on Meta-Wikimedia. :: ''See also [[OrthodoxWiki:Meta page]].''

:: [[OrthodoxWiki:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]]'''N'''eutral '''p'''oint '''o'''f '''v'''iew, or the agreement to report subjective opinions objectively, so as not to cause edit wars between opposing sides. As a verb, to remove biased statements or slanted phrasing. As an adjective, it indicates that an article is in compliance with OrthodoxWiki's NPOV policy.

:: Any individual topic within OrthodoxWiki; the [[web page]] without the top, bottom and side bars. Pages include [[#Article|articles]], [[#Stubs|stubs]], [[#redirects|redirects]], [[#disambiguation pages|disambiguation pages]], [[#user pages|user pages]], [[#talk pages|talk pages]], documentation [[Special:Categories|Categories]] and [[OrthodoxWikiSpecial:Special pagesSpecialpages|special pages]].

:: [[OrthodoxWiki:Point of view|Point of view]]'''P'''oint '''o'''f '''v'''iew. Often used negatively as an [[adjective]] to indicate [[bias]], as in "That reply was POV, not neutral.".

:: The project namespace, [[OrthodoxWikiSpecial:project Allpages&from=&namespace=4|project namespace''OrthodoxWiki:'']] , is a [[OrthodoxWiki:namespace#Namespace|namespace]] dedicated to providing information about wikipediaOrthodoxWiki.

::An abbreviation for [[Special:Recentchanges|'''R'''ecent'''c'''hanges]] :: ''See also [[Help:Recent changes]].''

:: A page title which, when requested, merely sends the reader to another page. This is used for synonyms and ease of linking. For example, ''[[impressionistFast]]'' might redirect to ''[[impressionismFasting]]''. :: ''See also [[OrthodoxWiki:Redirect]].''

:: Replace ''word1'' with ''word2''. Used in edit summaries. It is a reference to the command for "find and replace" in languages such as [[''sed]] '' and [[''Perl]]''. '''s/word1/word2/g''' means "replace ''all occurrences'' of ''word1'' with ''word2''" (''g'' stands for "global").

:: A [[sandbox]] is a page that users may edit however they want. Though it is meant to help users experiment and gain familiarity with [[#Wiki markup|Wiki markup]], the public sandbox at [[OrthodoxWiki:Sandbox]] is often filled with [[OrthodoxWiki:Sandbox In-sand-ity|strange things]] and [[OrthodoxWiki:patent nonsense|patent nonsense]]. In addition to the public sandbox, users may create private sandboxes on [[OrthodoxWiki:subpages#Subpages|subpages]] of their [[OrthodoxWiki:user #ser page|user page]], e.g. [[User:Hephaestos/Sandbox]].

:: A Wikilink contained in an article that points the reader to that same article, e.g. linking ''[[Vice President]]'' in the article "[[Vice President]]". Such links are automatically displayed as '''strongly emphasised text''' rather than links, but the more complex case of a link which ''redirects'' to the same article is not, and should be de-[[#De-Wikify|de-wikified]].

:: Short for ''spelling correction''. Used in [[OrthodoxWiki:#Edit summary|edit summaries]].

:: A page reserved for discussion. All pages within Wikipedia (except talk pages themselves!) have talk pages attached to them. :: ''See also Use the discussion tab to access the talk page for any [[#Article|article]] or [[OrthodoxWiki:Talk #User page|User page]].''

;<div id=Taxobox style="font-weight: bold">Taxobox</div>:: A type of ''See also '''[[#Infobox|infobox]], a taxobox is a [[taxonomy]] table positioned at the right side of an entry for a species of organism (or for a [[genus]] or [[familyHelp:Talk page]]), giving a chart of the [[Kingdom (biology)|kingdom]], [[phylum]], etc. of the creature.

:: Move a page to another wiki, in particular [[Wiktionary]], [[Wikibooks]], [[Wikisource]] or [http://sep11.wikipedia.org sep11].

:: A user who incites or engages in disruptive behavior ('''trolling'''). This term is applied fairly arbitrarily; generally, it can be assumed that someone who calls another user a ''troll'' simply does not like that user. [[#Admin|Admins]] sometimes consider trolling to be justification for [[#Ban|banning]] indefinitely. The validity of this is somewhat questionable, partly because the definition of ''troll'' is not agreed upon, and because calling someone a troll has an effect similar to calling them a [[Nazi]]: no further meaningful debate can be held.

:: A cute misspelling of [['''typo]]'''. Used as an edit summary when correcting typos. :: ''See also [[OrthodoxWiki:typo]].''

:: What should not be in Wikipediaa [[#Wiki|Wiki]]; the term is highly debated and sometimes considered useless or tautological.

:: ''See also [[OrthodoxWiki:User pageguidelines]].''

:: Some kind of [[#botBot|bot]] being used for vandalism or spamming. Recognizable by the fact that one or a few IP-addresses make many similar clearly vandalist edits in a short time. In the worst cases these have created or vandalized hundreds of pages in several Wikipedias in a timespan of only minutes.

:: Deliberate defacement of Wikipedia pages. This can be by deleting text or writing nonsense, bad language etcetera. The term is often incorrectly used to discredit the views of an opponent in edit wars. Vandalism can be reported at to [[OrthodoxWikiSpecial:Vandalism in progressListusers/sysop|one of the Sysops]].

:: ''See also [[mOrthodoxWiki:Wikipedia vandalismVandalism]].''

:: A page in the article [[OrthodoxWiki:#Namespace|namespace]] that presents biographical details of a non-famous person favorably and is considered inappropriate and/or [[OrthodoxWiki:#Unencyclopedic|unencyclopedic]] by most Wikipedians.
