Yes let us do that. We could simply say:

* FE configuration
* BE configuration
* user configuration


But there are other ways of user configuration, too. So better keeping to
the name typoScript:

* FE typoscript, short FE-TS
* BE typoscript, short BE-TS
* user typoscript, short U-TS


I started a Wiki upon naming reformations:
