It's a glossary. Self-explanatory, hopefully. Terms within should be domain-specific jargon.

All glossary definitions should exist in the Glossary: namespace and use this template. For example, the GunCAD glossary entry is composed like so:

{{GlossaryTerm
 | term = GunCAD
 | definition = The concept of and community surrounding DIY firearms and the sharing of their plans online
}}

This enforces consistency and ensures everything's in the right category (this one).

All glossary entries should have their page titles and term names capitalized.

To cite a Glossary entry in an article, use this template in place of the word you wanna mark up. For example:

{{Glossary|GunCAD}}
{{Glossary|GunCAD|guncad}}

You can use this for glossary entries that do not exist and they will be added to the wanted pages list appropriately.

The following 4 pages are in this category, out of 4 total.

 == Citing the Glossary ==
-For right now, '''do not cite the glossary'''. There will eventually be a standardized template for citing an entry.
+To cite a Glossary entry in an article, use [[Template:Glossary|this template]] in place of the word you wanna mark up. For example:
+<pre>
+{{Glossary|GunCAD}}
+{{Glossary|GunCAD|guncad}}
