    In the first sentence

    Suppose we have a fibration p:p \colon \mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{B}, representing type families (living in the fibers of \mathcal{E}) indexed by contexts (living in \mathcal{B}).

    probably “fibration” means “Grothendieck fibration”? (I have now hyperlinked it as such). But then referring to this as a “type family” is unusual – unless maybe you want to speak of directed type theory?

    I think this should be clarified.

    Yeah it means Grothendieck fibration. Maybe the phrasing is slightly odd, I mean to say objects in E are type families.

    Oh, I see. So I misread what you mean. (Haven’t take much time with the entry, admittedly).

    But then lets’ say this in the entry: “whose objects are type families”.

    And add a link to category with families! (or whatever it may be)

    Thanks. So I have appended pointer to categorical semantics of dependent types.

    I have made the link to “fibered terminal object” that you request here point to fibered limit.

    But now I realize it may not be the pointer you intend(?):

    In the usual language a fibered category p:EBp \colon E \to B has a fibered terminal object if (e.g. p. 6 here) EE and BB have terminal objects and pp preserves the terminal object. To get from there to the condition you state one needs an extra assumption, I suppose, such as the base change preserving limits, hence such as the fibration being a bifibration. No? Maybe you could expand on this point in the entry.
