I guess [[wikt:Wikisaurus:webpage]] [[wikt:Wikisaurus:creative work]] don't
help much. "Content" is not so nice, but it's often considered to be more
understandable than technical terms, e.g. most say "free content" and not "free
cultural works" and the like.

Everything would be easier if all languages had an exact equivalent for the
Italian "lemma", I suppose (even its pseudo-hyponim "voce" which is used to
translate "article" would be better than "article"); English offers us only
"entry" which is both too technical and missing the point. My synonym
dictionary suggests "topic"/"subject"... "topic" is used in forums to mean
"thread", it's a rather flexible word and conveys the concept of something that
is in-scope/on-topic for the wiki. But that might be too brave a choice.
