This is where I am going to be posting my definitions and I have to refine them with discussion by all of you. Tonight I am laying a few threads out and then I am off to bed for the night. That way you can get an inkling of what I plan with this project.

First, lets take a look at what the 3 Little Brown Books say about dungeons/the underworld.

Definitions - these are necessarily Arbitrary by nature and I will entertain amendments to them if you make a clear case for the changes. These are just to make discussion simpler by having a common nomenclature. Please add to the list and I will amend this post as we go.
Mini Dungeons - any dungeon regardless of the number of levels having 500 or less rooms or spaces total.
Medium Dungeons - any dungeon regardless of the number of levels having 501 up to 4000 rooms or spaces total.
Large Dungeons - any dungeon regardless of the number of levels having 4001 up to 10,000 rooms or spaces total.
Mega-Dungeons - any dungeon regardless of the number of levels having 10,001 or more rooms or spaces total.

Underworld - This refers to the dungeons and any directly associated naturals caves or caverns that are incorporated.
Underdark - This refers to the extensive (an understatement) caves, caverns, tunnels, underground cities and other extended areas that riddles the upper 2-3 miles of continental crust and they extend beneath the oceans connecting the entire subterranean world together.

Wormholes - These are the ever present tunnels throughout the world drilled by the ubiquitous Purple Worm. These tunnels range from 10 feet to 30 feet in diameter and range from very twisty to running almost straight for thousands of miles. It has been observed that near large bodies of water, these tunnels never breach a separating boundary between the tunnel and the body of water. These tunnels intersect natural caves and caverns and have been known to penetrate completely through a dungeon.

This is intense! Mini has up to 500 rooms! That's kind of awesome, if daunting...
