I’m not actually sure exactly what “signaling” means—which is arguably reason enough for us not to use it.
One person or even a few people not understanding some term isn’t a good enough reason for the rest of us to stop using it. It might be a good reason for someone to write a tutorial about it though… if Yvain hadn’t already written one.
I’ve changed the page “Signaling” to contain Yvain’s definition, and changed its definition on “Jargon” to an abbreviated version of the same. I also gave the jargon page the following definition of “affect”, which I have doubts about: mood or emotion as demonstrated in external physical signs. “Affect” currently has no page.

Alternative suggestion, then: let’s update the wiki pages so that their definitions are actually correct.
Please do!

Thank you. :-)
