I think it'll be a lot more confusing for new content creators.

What's supposed to go in a "Story"? Is it supposed to be a narrative?

That's where I'm concerned about creating confusion. I'd be using it to represent an article. It just sounds more modern to say "Story" rather than "Article"

I'm all for the story mindset, but I agree that it doesn't quite seem to fit here. I do like the concept of Articles, since Pages seems really "heavy and long form" to me whereas articles can cover a wide variety of things are not necessarily long.

Kinda funny how we're discussing nomenclature/syntax these days 8^D

I think "Articles" gets the point across the most clearly, but I just feel that word has been killed by spammers and link farms over the years. Maybe it's time to re-invent the term.

Yeah, that's a good point. But when people are already invested in the site I don't think it'll be that much of a concern.

Confusing indeed - came in yesterday first time back here since these changes created a page and now its gone... guessing I did something wrong and it was deleted as a result?

@duckz Yes, it was removed because pages aren't meant to be used for questions.

So where / how does one ask a question and seek assistance?

This isn't necessarily a Q&A site, but you can create a thread to ask questions.

Ahhhh my bad been coming here for years for Q/A - sorry. When I click on "threads" the only option that shows is "create page" which you say I shouldn't use ... should that say "create thread" instead?

Thank you for mentioning that. I now see where the confusion is. You need to go to the Homepage and click Create Thread below the Activity Stream heading.
