[Solved] "Mouse model"

Post by Evgeniy »

What is a "Mouse model" https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Mouse_Model
Is this the correct title?

Maybe "Models of Mouse Navigation" or "Types of Mouse Navigation" or "Mouse navigation and an overview of various navigation patterns" ?

You can check in other languages (with Google translation).
The title is not always the same.

The translator gives very strange translations.
Then I decided to look for an article explaining what this combination of words means: https://www.jax.org/why-the-mouse/model But there we are talking about the internal structure of the mouse DNA :)

Here is another good explanation that I found: "A mouse model is a laboratory mouse used to study some aspects of human physiology or diseases." :)

Are is serious?

If I search for your first proposal, "Models of Mouse Navigation", the first hit is the FreeCAD Mouse Model :) .

Could you provide at least one other documentation or application (other than FreeCAD) that uses the term "Mouse Model"?
https://www.google.com/search?q=Mouse+Model There is nothing like this in the search, except for FreeCAD, of course.

Gentlemen this discussion leads nowhere ... :roll:

I am in a better position, because preparing a page in my native language, I made the appropriate correction in the title of the page. :P

However, the title in English I will not discuss.
But perhaps it could be better. ;)

I don't see any reasons for such a strange translation.
Well, or only if a person living in England and America really confirms that this is the "canonical" correct logical term. Then I think I'll agree with that term.

There are many links from the forum to the wiki using the name only. If the page is renamed, these links should be dealt with.

I can only agree that the page name is confusing. I'll rename the page. New page name: "Mouse navigation".
Of course I'll also fix the internal wiki links and create redirect for the old name...

Fr : Navigation par la souris (=mouse)
It : Navigazione 3D - Tipo di mouse
Br/Pt : Estilos de Navegação
Ro : Navigarea în 3 D Modelul de Mouse
Po : Profil nawigacji myszką

So "Mouse navigation" seems right with other choices.
