Origin
Classical concepts of location do not apply to objects on wiki webpages. The noun form of "locational" was coined as a term to be used to refer to a "dynamical location" such as the position of an image on a wiki webpage. Such an image does not have a fixed location. The location of the image on the page can be changed by editing the page. Such an object may approach an equilibrium or "final" position if it remains in one place on the page for an extended period of time.
