Should these lists be in alphabetical order? — fcsuper (What?, Where!) (Inclusionistic Eventualist ) — 09:27, 18 January 2009 (EST)

That would be helpful. The current design allows for searching for any term using a space after it, and the category separation can be helpful for learning groups of terms, but alphabetical might be better overall. Ideally there should be two versions, but only one displayed at a time; maybe some Javascript-fu could make that happen. -Licah 16:32, 18 January 2009 (EST)
If we can use #if statements on this site, we can set display conditions within a comprehensive template. The only concern I have with this is making it simple to edit the overall list so that someone doesn't have to wade through a maze of metawiki code. — fcsuper (What?, Where!)
