[Cz-computers] Naming related articles

[Anton Sweeney]

Hi Sandy,

Yes, that would be fine.  A main article on, say, encryption, can
cover the main topics.  You can explain some of the associated terms
in the body of the article - say in a "glossary of terms" section, or
on a glossary subpage.  And creating redirects from those terms to the
main encryption article works well.  Later, if someone wants to write
an extensive article on, say, "one-time code", they can then overwrite
the redirect page and link to the new page from the main encryption
article.

Regards,

Anton
