    Default Glossary problem

    I made several entries to the Glossary that show up in "Recent Changes" but not in the Glossary itself. ATS and ALCR are two examples.

    Clinch plate, Ionic, Corinthian, Doric, belaying pin, Gripple, Grapple, ELTS, ALCR, BATS, ATS, all do not appear. My hypothesis: The glossary can only display up to 1000 terms, and I believe mig welding was that term. The header says there are 1042 entries, but that takes into account re-directs and deleted terms. Suspiciously, the header jumped from 994 to something like 1032 over night, when only six more terms were actually added.

    Site mechanics, please fix.

    Deleted two lesser existing entries, and two newer ones now appear in the directory. Let us hope the 1000-item limit is arbitrary and easily changed, or else there may have to be some heated debates over which terms stay and which go. I never dreamed contributing to such a worthy endeavor would cause such a disaster.

    There is a 1000 entry limit on each wiki, but thankfully, the programming allows for more than one wiki. So, I've split them up into two wiki's. Now the challenge is to get to 2000!

    Thanks for the solution, Dave. We'll try our best to get to 2000 entries by the end of 2009!
