Term Definitions

This wiki uses two templates for inline technical terms:

• Name

for inline references inside normal pages

Short definition:

on each Term:Name page to store the definition

Editor Workflow

1. Create a term page, for example Term:BGP. 2. Add:

{{TermDefinition
 | short = One-sentence definition used in inline tooltips.
 | long  = Optional expanded explanation for readers visiting the term page.
 | mode  = {{{mode|view}}}
}}

3. Reference the term in content:

{{term|BGP}}

Behavior

• If Term:Name exists, Name

renders a linked inline term with a tooltip.

• If Term:Name does not exist, it renders plain text with no red link.
• Updating a term's short definition updates all inline tooltips that use that term.
