   Format: MarkdownItexI have created an entry [[notions of type]] to be included under "Related notions" in the relevant entries. (I have managed to refrain from titling it "types of types".) Which notions of types are still missing in the table?

   Format: MarkdownItex> Perhaps [types in model theory](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_(model_theory))? Thanks. I will have to pass this question on to someone more expert than me. My impression was that the plain $n$Lab entry _[[type]]_ -- stubby as it still is -- is meant to subsume in particular this notion of type in model theory. If that is right, I would rather expand the entry [[type]] (which deserves to be expanded anyway) with a section along the line of that [Wikipedia entry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_%28model_theory%29), than create a separate entry "type (in model theory)". But maybe I am mixed up about this. What do you (you all) think?

   Format: MarkdownItexNo, I think [[type]] is about types in *type theory*, which are not the same as types in model theory. However, given the current content of [[notions of type]], it seems that the intent is to talk about various notions of type *in type theory*.

   No, I think type is about types in type theory, which are not the same as types in model theory.

   Format: MarkdownItexSo if and when anybody wants to write about types in model theory, then they should a disambiguating note to [[type]] (as well as links from articles on model theory) and write it at [[model-theoretic type]] or whatever.
