#
gRegor I think my suggestion is we move /Web_App_Manifest to /Web_Application_Manifest (full spec name), then merge /manifest into that new canonical page. Asking "what is" for any of those terms would return the canonical page.
#
gRegor just checking first in case there's any other suggestions, or if there's a reason to keep the spec page separate from the common name "manifest"
#

#
[tantek] Generally that's a sensible approach. Keep the older page, extract useful additions from the new page, then redirect the new page to the older page
#
[tantek] In terms of canonical naming, it depends if the focus is the technology or the specification. If the tech, then I'd lean towards "common" web dev usage (what phrase do web devs use), if the spec then yes use the name from inside the spec
#
[tantek] If that seems reasonable I can write that up on /wikify
#
gRegor Ah, hadn't considered age of page. /manifest is 2014, /WAM is 2018
#
gRegor And might be more useful for the common web dev term "manifest" as the canonical

#
[tantek] interestingly, web devs may be split on this by evidence of MDN calling it "Web application manifest" and http://web.dev calling it "Web app manifest" 🤔
