Wikipedia's purpose and content
It is possible to create an encyclopedic glossary about a topic, and we could surely use one about cats. But wikipedia is also not a dictionary; a simple word list is not something we can use. Glossary of cue sports terms is a good example of the difference between an encyclopedic glossary, with entries full of context (and sources), versus just a list of simple word/definition pairs.

Also, please do not add advice about topics to articles or their talk pages. Wikipedia talk pages are not a Web forum for opinions about topics in general, either; they are for working on improving the article. All additions of new material intended for the article must be verifiable with reliable sources.

The kind of approach we use here is summarized concisely at WP:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, WP:Five Pillars, WP:The answer to life, the universe, and everything, and WP:Core content policies. That's the "crash course" version. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  20:56, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
