Talk:Trace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hey, howcome no info on tracing as in putting a semitransparent sheet over an image and copying it?
- Mentioned at the end of tracing, but we don't have a tracing paper article yet. Charles Matthews 08:18, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
No, don't merge this with tracing. Several of the meanings are only loosely related. Trace in mathematics translated the German Spur (like spoor); while there is a tracking theme to this, it is too much of a stretch. Anyway, trace as a noun should be separate.

- Agree. No merge but maybe a notice at the begining, something like "you may also be looking for tracing"- David Björklund (talk) 02:43, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
- Indeed, it may be a case by case matter.
- eg, For computing: The networking command "trace" makes sense to be merged with the tracing, which is the result of it.
- But for chess, I am not sure that the word tracing in itself has any meaning. Laurent Elens 14:50, 1 Janvier 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Manual of Style
Unless there are any substantive objections, I'm going to reformat this disambiguation page to follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation). This means taking out the section headers, removing most of the wikilinks, and removing entries that don't aid navigation, among other details. This will result in a lot of information being pulled out. Possibly I might move these into stubs if the subject seems encyclopedic, possibly the information will just be removed.
Anything I should know before I begin, or any particular concerns about how I go about slicing and dicing? — Saxifrage ✎ 06:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
