# OLD Terms list

## NOTE - this has moved to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/preferred_terms.html

This lists the official Red Hat terms for Ansible so we can decide if the community wants to adopt this list in community docs as well.

Edited based on community feedback for what we want in our docs:

* Ansible - on all occurences unless refering to the `ansible` CLI command. Preference is to use this to refer to the Ansible community package.
* Ansible Builder - on first occurence or `ansible-builder` if referring to the CLI command. Subsequent occurences can be Builder.
* Ansible Collections - on first occurrence. Subsequent occurrences can be collections.
* Ansible Content Development kit (CDK) - on first occurence. Subsequent occurences can be Ansible CDK
* Ansible Core - on all occurences, though preference is `ansible-core` after first occurence to distiguish from the Ansible community package.
* Ansible Creator - on first occurence or `ansible-creator` if referring to the CLI command.
* Ansible Execution Environment(EE) - on first occurrence. Subsequent occurrences can be Execution Environment or EE.
* Ansible Galaxy - on first occurence. Subsequent occurences can be Galaxy. Do not use Galaxy NG.
