Alphanumeric sequence

Note: while the definitions below may be useful for understanding and writing text in the pages (Talk, PESWiki, User, Meta, etc.) and edit summaries, some entries are slang. Please write actual articles in jargon-free language which is readily understandable without specific knowledge of the PESWiki project. See: PESWiki:Explain jargon.
Nonetheless, don't overdo the use of PESWiki jargon on PESWiki talk pages or in edit summaries either (specifically linking to maybe less known guidelines/policies via shortcuts). If you need convincing on this point, see PW:WOTTA
