Internally it's just implemented as $wgUserTablePrefix, but that's not catchy and aliterative. -- Tim Starling 18:34, 30 Aug 2004 (EEST)

It would be nice if APIs always reflected GUIs, but there are too many morons coding both to make that reliable. Call it the same thing as you do on the user's screen, i.e. single login, using that word/phrase "login" or "log in" consistently, and there will be no confusion about what you mean or what features are being implied.

You can name something as soon as you get off your fat arse and code something. Until then, quit your whinging. -- Tim Starling 10:45, 31 Aug 2004 (EEST)

Coders do not make ontology choices in any reasonable project. There is no chance that this can lead to anything but disaster. Which anyone who has done any data warehouse work knows from firsthand pain. It's the user interface designers that actually make the choices about what things are called, in a reasonable project, and the management accounting categories, e.g. styles of capital, that determine the deeper categorization systems.

Besides trolls do not listen to developer vigilantes of no particular talent. Though they will answer Lowest Trolls they respect, usually. The latest bout of hack-backs on essential articles is a sign however that Wikimedia corruption may be spreading to this wiki.
