::Actually, I'm seriously considering splitting this article up into numerous individual definition articles, ''a la'' the Wiktionary.  For example, see the article on [[SC]]. --[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] 02:33, 3 March 2006 (PST)
 
:::This this will be a simple listing of abbreviations with links to their individual pages. I stumbled upon [[RA]] and expanded it.
:::Should we limit this to CoH/V related abbreviations only, and leave out things like LOL and MMO? Or shall we list those below? That way the more relevant abbreviations are on top and the general abbreviations are on bottom. Example:
  ==CoH Abbr.==
  '''[[SC]]''': [[Steel Canyon]], [[Skyway City]], [[Siren's Call]]
  '''[[RA]]''': [[Empathy#Recovery Aura|Recovery Aura]], [[Empathy#Regeneration Aura|Regeneration Aura]]<br>
  ==Other Abbr.==
  '''LOL''': Laugh Out Loud
  '''MMO''': Massively Multiplayer Online Game
:::I will still create my spreadsheet/database and include a field for CoH relevancy.

== Category ==
 
Ah, using Categories makes more sense. I appologize for not thinking of that.
With your go ahead, I will start creating articles for each acronym and adding them to the Definition Category

Hmm... Definition format doesn't look right, too cluttered.
<pre>;word:Definition
:second Definition</pre>

:Sure, go ahead and start adding them.  I added a few just to try to decide whether or not I like it or not, and I think I do.  Eventually, I'd like definitions expanded to more than just abbreviations.  For example, I'd like articles on things like "Area of Effect," "Aggro," "Squishy," etc.
 
:I wouldn't mind adding in some common generic online-speak stuff like lol, g2g, and so on.  What does everyone else think?
 
:Oh, and I haven't really considered the wiki markup definition format, I was focused more on the Wiktionary definition format.  (For example, [[wiktionary:future|future]].)

== Disambiguation ==
 
I think the entries should take a similar form to Wikipedia disambiguation pages. Acronyms/abbreviations with only one meaning simply redirect, with a reference to the acronym/abbreviation near the top of the redirected-to page. A/A with multiple meanings, but one more common have A/A -> most common, with A/A (disambig) being referenced at the top of the "most common" page.
