Sort out where words are listed and linked from/to

[quaid]

Current situation

The main visible word list page doesn't link to the word lists directly, only from the menu.

The URL path to /word-lists/ does not have an index file, so gives a 404 error.

All of the terms are in two locations:

• /word-lists/tier-N/ -- all terms are in the single tier file
• /language/word-list/ -- one file for each term

Relevant URLs

• https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/overview/
• https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/
• https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/tier-1/
• https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/tier-2/
• https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/tier-3/
• https://inclusivenaming.org/language/word-list/
• https://inclusivenaming.org/language/word-list/master/ etc.

Recommended fixes

1. Create a file in the repo /website/content/word-lists/index.md that contains or links to the overview and tiered list.
2. Remove the /word-lists/tier-N/ files as too cumbersome to keep a growing list of words in a single file. Create redirects from there to index.md.
3. Rename /website/content/word-lists/overview.md to index.md, then have the Tier 1, 2, 3 subsections in the file contain a list of the terms, which are themselves links to the actual term.md file.
4. Have a single file for all terms, located in /website/content/language/word-list/.
5. Create a file /website/content/language/word-list/index.md that duplicates /website/content/word-lists/index.md.
   • Alternately, merge all together into a single relative path e.g. inclusivenaming.org/word-list/{index.md,term.md}

Your ideas sound good, Karsten. Just so I'm clear: When you refer to term.md, should I assume that's a generic term referring to the Markdown files for each term? (Rather than a single term.md file containing all the definitions.) If so, then I'm good with that.

As for item (5), it sounds cleaner -- and easier to maintain going forward -- if we merge everything into a single relative path. But I defer to you and @abuango on that one.

Discussion from not-a-meeting:

• Have a page per tier that is visually parsable by humans with: term, replacement, link to the full term page
• One markdown file per term
  • Different people do the pull requests
• @abuango is working on a proof of concept for automating the creation of index pages out of the individual markdown files (aiui)

Is https://inclusivenaming.org/word-lists/ supposed to exist? If so it has no content I can see.
