Panography is certainly a valid term in English; WikiPedia is not a
dictionary, and even if it was wouldn't necessarily define what is
English and what isn't.
Likewise, unless a dictionary has over 100,000 terms or so, it's
probably not going to cover the bulk of the language, especially for
technical terminology.
