{wI'qIy turwI'Daq} makes it sound like you’re adding the text to the server that hosts the wiki and not necessarily to the wiki itself. It also makes the > adding sound like a more physical act, like you’re walking into the data center with a permanent marker and going to town on the server’s chassis. So while I appreciate that you’re trying to follow a rule about limiting the use of {-Daq} to actual locations, I think you should be aware that going out of the way to follow that rule can have unintended consequences on how your words are understood.
This is the most wrong and ridiculous reasoning I have ever read in the 3,5 years I'm in this list.
You're going to extremes to justify your initial opinion which was wrong. I'm dead certain, that if we asked 100 people, noone would understand that the words are added to the wiki server and not to the wiki.
I have seen again in the past, people trying desperately to prove other people wrong.. but this takes the cake.
Given Hugh’s occupation and intimate understanding of these technologies and finer appreciation for nuances regarding how information and servers is handled... I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss his intuition and perspective on the subject. I experience the same issue often even in natural languages, where people describing things within my area of professional expertise make no sense to me — or imply something really different than what “everyone knows” was meant. Klingon frequently drives me up the wall in trying to describe even some of the simplest things within my domain; but I doubt that many in this list would think twice about or even notice the actual inaccuracy in. Having a degree of technical fluency in a subject greatly changes your view on what words mean relating to that subject. —jevreH
