I thought I'd make a note of plans for this page, for myself, or for anyone else who beats me to it:
As "object" similar to "symbol" has taken on a lot of new meanings in the latest version of DF, I think it makes sense to make objects a page, redirect and move the information from named objects and symbols here. Make this page about the new "objects" menu 
O in general, including summaries of the other menu tabs, and what the word means specifically in this context (regarding a specific classification of item); and link to a new object disambiguation page.
