Correction text:
Here's a simple correction to apply:
You've been putting your synonyms and defines in "canonical form" (no spaces or punctuation, first letter of each word capitalized), which they should not be. Canonical names on PlanetMath are used *purely* for uniquely addressing entries, and the only time you should have to input one is when, and if, you manually set the parent of an entry.
Synonyms and defines should be natural language phrases, separated by commas. They should be written as they would appear in sentences in the body of an entry; the only capitalized terms should be proper nouns. The idea is that your titles, synonyms, and defines are the *de facto* statement about how a phrase should normally appear in the body of an entry. |
