              Should probably also be added to the section in http://area51.phpbb.com/docs/30x/coding-guidelines.html#namingvars which defines smiley as the correct spelling.

              Personally I prefer without the dash. I agree that there should be consistency within the software.

              CarolC1, you are describing a different bug entirely. Would you mind creating a new issue for it?
