Fundrasising Tech Glossary edited.
Items were formatted to a bigger text size. Links and some other text were italicized (the "also known as xx") All other text were in block format as to lessen text crowding. A content table at the top of the page was added after editing, good for easy navigation to a specific term.

Thank you!

Good job!

I don't see it.

Agreed: according to the guidelines, the "also known as" sentences are in italics, and synonyms in that line are in bold.

Re edited the page

Content table at the top returned.
Italics and bold text formatted.
Heading formatting was used on the terms to be defined while using the ":" formatting for their definition.

I don't agree with your last change, about using titles and part of definition lists. It is not a good practice concerning accessibility. At the moment, we don't have a perfect system, I agree with that. We need to improve that bad thing in software (T150263: Create a searchable and shared glossary). The best practices have been published to compensate the lack of that system. Please follow them, but also don't forget to add your ideas and notes to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Glossaries :)

@ISBetrayal made the changes accordingly, and the Fundraising Glossary is now formatted.

Revised arrangement of terms. Can't think of any other issue.

Reformatted the layout. Had to switch over to the new format, which caused me to have to add some translate tags for the terms. I also fixed some grammar while I was at it.

Let me know what tweaks are needed.
Thanks!

I have reviewed https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Glossary , the current state is ok (a more traditional format is followed than the one suggested in your help page). MtDu still went through all of the glossary, so you might want to mark his task as done anyway.

@Nemo_bis: Is there a particular reason why not to be consistent with the "Also known as" style? (I don't care about capitalization or not.)

MtDu claimed this task.

All glossaries have been reviewed. Hence closing as resolved.
