Seems like several users are having some difficulties identifying easter eggs from glitches (and vice versa) and the difference between music and a song. This thread would serve as a general reminder to users (and those confused) on the proper definitions. | Seems like several users are having some difficulties identifying easter eggs from glitches (and vice versa) and the difference between music and a song.

"Piece" and "Composition" can generally be used interchangeably - both refer to any musical work, although "piece" usually connotes a less substantial musical work then "composition" does. | "Piece" and "Composition" can generally be used interchangeably - both refer to any musical work, although "piece" usually connotes a less substantial musical work then "composition" does. | ||

The [[:Category:Glitches|Glitches category]] has quite an amount of glitches articles, most of which are simple (such as [[Repairs glitch]]), short (such as [[Dead shielded Emile]]) and trivial (such as [[Flipping Warthog]]). All of these can be covered in their respective articles. This is different to articles such as the [[BXR]], [[Drive an AA Wraith]]. | The [[:Category:Glitches|Glitches category]] has quite an amount of glitches articles, most of which are simple (such as [[Repairs glitch]]), short (such as [[Dead shielded Emile]]) and trivial (such as [[Flipping Warthog]]).

Like the Glitches category, the [[:Category:Easter Eggs|Easter Eggs category]] is also filled with trivial easter eggs that could simply be covered in their respective parent articles (in the Trivia section).

Thus, what is important is whether such things were intentionally left by the developers. | Like the Glitches category, the [[:Category:Easter Eggs|Easter Eggs category]] is also filled with trivial easter eggs that could simply be covered in their respective parent articles (in the Trivia section).
