making up fannish stuff, for posterity and beyond!

All you all should be coming over to help edit fanlore.org. It's very easy to log in, and then those of us who toil over there would love some toiling help. For example, there's hardly any info on the "West Wing" page; come fill it up, and bring your favorite fics!

Also, for semantics purposes; help me with these questions below? Answer with the term you would most frequently use, or answer with the term you have most frequently heard if you don't prefer one answer over the other.

I've been noticing this debate on fanlore and I am a bit conflicted. I had never heard the term multimedia used in such a way before now but I fully recognize that I am a (comparatively) new member of fandom and I am only acquainted with a tiny percentage of fandom. I can accept as fact that the term is still used in portions of fandom primarily not based on LJ. As fanlore's purpose is to document all of fandom, not just LJ fandom, the term shouldn't be relegated solely as an outdated term.
However, the current set up on fanlore, with the multifandom & mulitmedia page, does not seem like an ideal solution. It is clunky and causes further confusion on the pages of individual multimedia/multifandom works as to which definition is being utilized.
P.S. I don't consider vids to be multimedia as video is a medium in its own right.
