Discourse’s Terminologies
Before we get started, however, here are some of the basic terminologies that will be thrown around a LOT as you read the guides and use the site:
Topic: The collection of messages/posts grouped in a meaningful conversation, with a title, listed in a category, beginning with an Original Post, and including all replies in chronological order. You may call these ‘threads’ if you’re used to other forum platforms.
Post: Each element of a topic is referred to as a post. Each post has its author and can be moved to a different topic if necessary or even become the start of a new topic.
Original Post (or OP): The first post in any topic. This is key since it determines the focus of the topic and is what the title and tags will link to. You may also use OP to imply the Original Poster of a topic or a post. It’s all about the context.
Category: The primary means of organizing topics. Each topic is placed in exactly one category. Categories have permissions that restrict what users can create, reply to, and see its topics. Categories are a similar concept to a ‘forum’ on other sites.
See our site map for an overview of all the categories available on our site.
Tag: A marker is placed on a topic to describe it. While a topic can only have one category, it can have multiple tags. Read here to learn more about tags vs. categories.
