We should have terms like MOQ and MMQ somewhere, but where? Considerations:
a) Plain glossary page linked from the front page? Redirects within a category to a glossary page?
b) Are these "keyboard terms"? I don't want to just drop them into the keyboard terms category, as to me, that's essentially a category for keyboard technology, not community-related terminology (sales and manufacturing in this case). However, there is a lot of crossover between the two areas.
Any thoughts?

I would prefer something consistent with how other parts of the wiki are structured. So: a parent category "terms" or "glossary" or whatever, containing categories "keyboard terms", "marketplace terms", etc., and a flat list of all terms.

Just don't make a page per term unless you can write more than five paragraphs about it.
Other than that, a couple of pages like "List of marketing terms" etc. sounds nice...

Keyboard terms's parent is Guides, which needs a bit of cleanup. I'll have a go at this tonight.
Not sure what to point MMQ and MOQ to, as JBert says — one page per term would be a bit silly, but I only have those two so far :-P What else might I want to add to Category:Marketplace terms?

Maybe start with a single category "terms" and start a page called "Sales terms". You can add NIB, NOS, POS, MMQ, MOQ, ...
If we ever need sub-categories, we can still create them if the number of terms-pages is limited.

OK, cobbled something together. Sure someone here can make more sense out of it than me :-P

Also BNIB, CONUS, EU (just to be sure 
), OBO.
Can't think of more on the spot right now.
//Currencies. But mostly USD or EUR are used. And those are trivial...

It's looking like the marketplace terms category might just be completely useless ... Not unless anyone wants to add anything that isn't just a redirect to the glossary!

I added all I could think of.
Is there a main glossary at all? Couldn't find it.

Redirects in here: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Category:Marketplace_terms
Point to here: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Marketplace_glossary
It's meant to be keyboard community marketplace terms. Adding currencies is silly — this is meant to just be terms common to the keyboard community. Currency terms are just general knowledge.
I was just thinking that the marketplace terms category will just end up a pointless duplicate of the glossary page, which is rubbish. Might just wipe all the redirects and the category in the end unless anyone has a better use for that category.

Well, I didn't know what Renminbi was until I found out. Useful for taobao things, imo.
The other currencies are simply there to round it up, but yes, trivial and therefore needless.
