Wikipedia says "an electrolytic capacitor is a capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer" (1, link). Elsewhere, wikipedia seems to define the anode as the terminal where conventional current enters a device (2, link). These statements are contradictory when the electrolytic capacitor is discharging. What is the solution for this contradiction? Should the positive plate be called cathode when the electrolytic capacitor is discharging?
--EDIT--
I like the answer given in Electronics Stack Exchange (link), that the well known definition of anode in chemistry is invalid for electronics. In chemistry, the anode is the terminal where the conventional current enters the device (and it is the plate where oxidation occurs).
In electronics, the anode is defined differently. For example, in a diode, the anode is the terminal that accepts current most readily. It remains the anode if the voltage is reverse biased. In an electrolytic capacitor, which is viewed to be an electronic device, the anode is the terminal that should be connected to the positive voltage. It remains the anode if the current reverses (when the capacitor discharges).
A battery is the only device in electronics where the anode conforms to the chemical definition.
