Other attributes to organize by that may be useful as an index could be:
- Fixity: prefix, infix, postfix, circumfix/fenced, scripts, fractional, tabular and compound notations.
- Good idea! Christian Lawson-Perfect (talk) 13:58, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Level of study: it may be helpful to separate which notations are present in 1) early education, 2) K-12, 3) higher education and then 4) active research notations. I've talked to people who like focusing on specific levels, so they may find it easier to navigate the wiki for whichever parts they find important to them.
- Indeed some current pages write about specific examples, and some write about a general ambiguity. To my taste having a page about a conceptual practice is great, and then listing various interesting examples in its body. So, to take a random recent page, Prime symbol in variable names could be a little more generic, even just "Prime".
- I think I like having a mix. I definitely prefer "prime symbol in variable names" to "prime". Christian Lawson-Perfect (talk) 13:58, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
