ELE Amendment 3: distinction between equivalences and definitions

 * Voting on:


 * That a new sentence be added immediately before the sentence in the "Definitions" section of Entry layout explained that currently reads:
 * The key terms of a definition should be wikified.
 * That this new sentence read as follows:
 * However, there is one exception to these principles: in the case of a definition that consists solely of a term that meets the criteria for inclusion, such as a synonym or translation, or a list of such terms, the definition should not be capitalized, and should not end with a full stop.

(end of vote)

Thus, absent any other modifications, the passage in question would read as follows, up to the end of the paragraph: "Each definition may be treated as a sentence: beginning with a capital letter and ending with a full stop. However, there is one exception to these principles: in the case of a definition that consists solely of a term that meets the criteria for inclusion, such as a synonym or translation, or a list of such terms, the definition should not be capitalized, and should not end with a full stop. The key terms of a definition should be wikified."

Thus for example:
 * 1) happy; delighted; thrilled
 * 2) In a state of religious ecstasy.
 * 3)  high
