I edited that chapter but do not remember running across the graphic in
the wiki. In fact, I have rarely used the wiki, probably because I don't
know what information is there.
Is there further information in the wiki or someplace else that
specifies the terminology for UI elements?

OK, so we already have clear definitions in the HIG Guide:

which I guess is the basis for Figure 8 on page 15 in chapter 1 of the
most recent Getting Started Guide.

Howdy,
An example of deck and panel usage is in this blog from 2017

I don't have strong opinions about what we should use, but keep in mind
that we need two different terms to describe the subunits of sidebars.
Thus, at least in other LO guides I have worked on, "decks" are the
equivalent of pages and "panels" are the equivalent of sections of
pages. When I first ran across this usage, I remember thinking that
"deck" seemed a somewhat unusual word for this context while "panel"
seemed like a good choice for either a "page" or a "section."
An alternative could be to treat sidebars like dialogs, so they
would be
composed of pages, with each page containing sections. As someone with
little knowledge of UX language, this would be more user friendly
for me.
However, "deck" and "panel" are already being used in LO documentation.
How important is it to be consistent with other documentation?

In Dutch we also call it "Paneel" (Panel).
Don't know if this helps.

Thanks Luke, your input (2c worth) is much appreciated. I am
inclined to
agree with you on this specific aspect, but I am seeking general
consensus from the wider team/community on the standardization of
this
and other terminologies used in our documentation.
Any other opinions about describing sidebar components as "Panels" or
"Decks" in the user guides?

My 2c is that Panel is more commonly used and understood by the
average person.
"Decks" may well be more familiar to those within the UX profession.

Hi Folks,
I am working to finish my (very slow) review of Jean's revision of
CG6204. In the process it occurred to me that in this and other
guides
we have mostly used the term "Panel" to reference parts of the
sidebar,
whereas the UX/Design folks and some support channels commonly
refer to
sidebar "Decks".
While this is definitely not a critical issue, I feel that we
should as
far as possible maintain consistency in the terminology we use to
identify the components of the software's UI.
Any thoughts, or should we discuss at the next meeting?
Dave
