I much prefer the word Weblog and am proposing to move this page. What do others think? MarkDilley

ahem, you don't get to choose, Master Dilley. :-) Tagging is a process where people put their own tags on pages. We might all disagree about terminology, but with tagging, that's totally fine. All our tags can go on the pages in question. That's one reason for the RelatedCategories process, to take care of synonyms. In my opinion ... forget it, my opinion about blog/weblog is irrelevant. What matters is there's no reason to agree. Just do the RelatedCategories thing and forget about it. Then people tagging wikis will be fine no matter which way they go.

Thanks for the condescension Mr Ernst. :-) I understand tagging. Since it was the people actually working on adding pages, I felt it a more open question. But I agree people put their own tags. Which I have done, related categories and all. MarkDilley

Okay, I've gone back and put the blog tag or category back on the ones you took off. I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for taking tags off a page. Sure, if there's a barbie tag on a surfing wiki, fine, take it off. But if it's a term that does apply to that wiki, I'm not why removing info is a good idea. Adding more tags with your preferred term seems very appropriate, by the way. TedErnst | talk 11:22, 17 May 2006 (EDT)
We can have both tags on any of these pages. That way people that like to use the word "weblog" will be happy and be able to find the wikis they want and the people that use the word "blog" will be similarly happy and be able to find the wikis they want. Is this okay with you? TedErnst | talk 16:30, 17 May 2006 (EDT)
