<p>I like the definitions quoted in @Sycorax'es answer here: <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3078">https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3078</a>. Can we adapt them for wiki excerpts? E.g.:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>prediction</strong><br>Prediction of unknown random quantities, using a statistical model.</p>
<p><strong>forecasting</strong><br>Prediction of the future events. It is a special case of [prediction], in the context of [time-series].</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Regarding the wikis, I think after @gung fixed the typo, the [forecasting] wiki is fine, and in the [prediction] wiki we could simply delete the first three paragraphs (the quote IMHO provides enough context). Would this resolve the issue?</p>
