Do we have a policy regarding use of the <menuchoice> ... </menuchoice> tag? The typographical guidelines mentiones only menu choices. Common practice also includes other named entities in the GUIs, such as buttons, textfields, dialogs etc. I assume this is all OK (IMHO it should be).
Recently I have come across a number of examples, where ordinary reference to things, that can be done in a GUI have also been enclosed in these tags, even though they do not specify a GUI element. An example might look something like this:
I think this is potentially confusing and should be avoided. In cases like the above I don't think emphasizing is needed at all, but if some general terms must be emphasized, I think it is preferable to use ordinary bolding.
Should I remove superfluous menuchoice tags when I find them?
Yes. I talked to Yurchor about this, this afternoon, see User_talk:Yurchor#x.22Chatty.22_pages_-_hard_to_mark_up__414. Sorry for the extra work.
