I thought about this one but I'm not sure. Baseline in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Baseline/Compatibility is really a "marketing term", it's related to but not the same as baseline in configuration management.

uhmm..i did think about this, as i first found the term configuration baseline;

A set of specifications for a system, or Configuration Item (CI) within a system, that has been formally reviewed and agreed on at a given point in time, and which can be changed only through change control procedures. The baseline configuration is used as a basis for future builds, releases, and/or changes. 1

may u correct my understanding, that baseline table in mdn, is about "whether it's a feature that works in almost all, most, and few browsers", then it will match "the features can only be changed through change control procedures. used as a basis for future builds, releases and/or changes" (given that browser will and only will change the feature in future builds, releases and/or changes)..?

well....if not that matched, then should not the link w: baseline appears in baseline/index.md... as it's totally meaningless...(only one link in w: baseline points to both of the sub-entries's relevent information)

I agree that we should remove the link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Baseline.

About the link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_(configuration_management) in https://pr33365.content.dev.mdn.mozit.cloud/en-US/docs/Glossary/Baseline/Compatibility, I'm 50/50. I do understand that they are related.

it will match "the features can only be changed through change control procedures. used as a basis for future builds, releases and/or changes" (given that browser will and only will change the feature in future builds, releases and/or changes)..?

Not really. All browser features will only be changed "in future builds, releases and/or changes)". All browsers use change control for all features, whether they are "Baseline features" or not.
