Talk:Symbology (disambiguation)

dangit, where did my comments go?

I'll do this again, i hope it doesn't vanish.

I have added new disambiguation details; I think that you were missing some of the primary definitions of Symbology.

Some of those details, or all of them together, warrant a page. Who knows what naming conventions apply, but to give you a sense of where i am coming from, its psychonaut and psychology

Symbology is the "study of symbols", which may be written, pictographs ASL, or even utterances
In the 21st century, emoticons and emojis seem to have replaced a study of the meaning of symbols.

These are symbols too, but because of the way and the purpose for which they were created (writing spam emails, evidently), it isn't surprising that there seems to be a revolt over what symbology means. Emojis that move and emoticons that don't, exist nowhere but the internet. They are a waste of portable memory even in that context, IMO, but then, so is social networking in general.

There is nothing wrong with this word. It needed no "disambiguation" page in an English language encyclopedia.

None of the other choices of the word meanings on this "disambiguation" page has the same meaning. If you can't do any better than that, my suggestion is to remove the page entirely and let someone else do it justice, because Wikipedia evidently doesn't understand the meaning of this word in any context.

Just tell readers to consult a good Merriam-Webster dictionary or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danshawen (talk • contribs) 20:16, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Symbology
The is no Wikipedia article per se on Symbology as a study of Symbols. Should there be one? -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.98.105 (talk) 22:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC) Symbology simply returns one to Symbol.


 * The word "Symbologist" has a strong association with the Da Vinci Code novels. AnonMoos (talk) 08:29, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
