What's the difference between "page" and "story"?

That page could have php embedded.

Not sure if that distinction still exists since the new filter code.

There is a small technical difference on how they check permissions but you can use them interchangeably with no problem. This is a redundancy that should be eliminated, imo, but probably when CCK is widely available, not before.

I agree, that is redundancy. Futher many people use a vocabulary called type to divide 'story' or 'page' into articles, editorials, stories etc. introducing further redundancy.

Either the different types should be at the node level with a flexinode like tool, or at the vocab level with terms - not in both places.

I always deactivate either 'page' or 'story' and then divide the single node type that remains for atomic node content at the vocab level (books is something entirely different).

I'm relatively new to using Drupal, but I have found a use for having both page and story. If you are going to allow other people to post information to your site then you can assign a category (taxonomy) to page and a different category vocabular to story.

Using roles, you can allow a subadmin to post and edit stories where you, as the main admin can post and edit pages. This means the categories you give to pages cannot be used by subadmins.

In my case this is valuable as I can post various articles of certain categories using pages and others who I authorize can post stories with a different categorization system.

Granted, I may have more to learn but this seems to work well for my situation.

I did the same to allow different people to post only in the category they got the rights, it works great using flexinode too.

For some of us it's a bit of a stretch to see new uses for a core element.. say a node, or node type. I still don't know the difference between a page and a book, but can see some different uses, and am a little more comfortable calling an article though it may just be a story with a different name;-) Wish we had some clean questions like this around here which would put my brain through a process of coming to understand uses for a taxonomy;-)
