> Was this process "moderation"?

That’s up to you. Do you go around saying “I like posting on LWN. I’m a big LWN poster. That’s where I do my best posts”? If so you probably already call the staff there “da mods” and wouldn’t need clarification.

> what you write on Stack Overflow is not a "post" in the first place

Yes it is. That website is overflowing with posts. It’s almost entirely posts aside from the bits you use to navigate between the posts.

> Would you use that term for a Wikipedia article?

I am receiving news that mods have taken to moderating more than just posts nowadays. They are moderating chat messages and wiki pages, and I’m being told that some of them have even confusingly decided to call themselves “admins,” it is a site to behold
