Glossary and Reference
fix(index-topics): apply protocol-index-topic.yaml's scope_note (replaces what_this_is_not) across all 3 Index Topics per the ratified DESIGN-TOKEN-CHANGE — removes the H2 heading and roadmap/backlog language, shortens 71-89 words to 18-27; also removed reference/_index.md's Correction note (leaked internal frontmatter field names and 'MOC page' jargon, zero reader value, per register-documentation.yaml's new Provenance Notes rule). EN+ES, verified live via curl.

This is the same content rebuilt against the Index Topic mechanism, with every current article included. **Resolved, not silently dropped** — the legacy page's own 2 sections that no longer apply (BIM/real-property reference, since that content moved to the projects wiki; the 2 wikilinks now pointing to categories rather than articles) are not carried forward, since both were already stale pointers, not real content. **Reference material** on this platform serves two different needs: a reader who wants one term defined precisely, and a reader who wants to understand the vocabulary well enough to read everything else in this wiki without stumbling. Both needs live here — general computing concepts defined in plain language, the full platform glossary, orientation for a reader who hasn't picked a starting point yet, and the standards this wiki itself is written to. <!-- START-HERE-HIGHLIGHT: engine reads this block to render the single "start here" card @@ -72,9 +63,8 @@ forward, since both were already stale pointers, not real content. - [[wiki-provider-landscape|Wiki provider landscape]] — a structural audit of why no existing provider has closed Wikipedia's gap <!-- END AUTO-GENERATED --> ## What this is not This page is not itself a definition source — for a specific term, go to the glossary directly rather than searching this list. It is not exhaustive of every reference-shaped fact in the wiki: architectural definitions live with their subject (`substrate/`, `security/`), not here. It does not distinguish platform-specific from general-computing terms visually — both live in this category because a reader consulting one is often also consulting the other. For a specific term, go to the [[glossary-documentation|glossary]] directly. Architectural terms are defined with their subject, not listed here. ## See also
