1947:- Third - I also have to agree with jacobolus with the notion of objections to things in this list (and actions by bots) being largely ignored. I have spent time going through some of the archived discussions - and have barely broken the ice. The number of unique objections and repeating patterns of a lot of those discussions by unique users very clearly demonstrates that at the very least the content of this list for expansion leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. But it gets categorically dismissed by the same handful of people and then archived before any additional discussion can be had on it - only to be started yet again later on by someone else as the previous person had given up their quest. So seems the way with so many obvious Bad Things (tm) on WP - and that's not what "wiki norms" should ever be. I wont go so far as jacobolus in claiming a power trip (that's one I reserve for bad administrators) - but I will say agree with the dismissiveness & ignoring of things brought up here. Stefen's outright rejection of jacobolus' very well researched and stated position under the guise of "bullying" is not only way out of line & completely incorrect - but also exemplifies the dismissive nature against things brought up in counter, here. That's not very cool at all - and is in no way does service to the WP project as a whole.
640:. Discussion with the bot's owner lead me here - and frankly I am a bit shocked to see both the project and some of the content of the list. I have read through this discussion as well as the archived ones mentioned earlier and find the entire premise of it for what are extremely common shorthand tags to be almost nonsensical. Many of these abbreviated templates and tags are in very common use and are not at all a detriment to the project. It makes editors who use them more efficient, educates editors those users who do not, reduces overall character count (which in turn has a compounding effect of reducing what I call tag-fat / tag-bloat by up to 70% across the entire WP project), reduces visual wikicode clutter while reviewing & editing and has been shown to reduce error count while editing. While I could see some benefit by changing some of the more obscure or lesser used abbreviations to lean more towards clarity vs. ambiguity - I do not for things that are far more common like citation needed and better source - among the myriad of other common ones.

efficiency's sake and keeping codesets small and lightweight. Or did you actually put every sub inline with the rest of the code? I think we both know the answer - and for the same reasons you didn't, that same logic applies here - both on the front end for the experienced editor, and for the backend. Streamlining that by the order of magnitude it is present on WP is absolutely an issue. We are talking hundreds of thousands of instances. Sure - maybe you need to look up something once - but it isn't so hard to right-click it to a new tab, or even to hover over it and wait for the target preview to pop up. The latter is even a feature that was implemented at WP not that long ago.

The majority of the rest after those get involved in writing articles and care about them, and are annoyed by the steady churn of drive-by grammatical disimprovements and factual inaccuracies added by other editors and unnecessary format twiddling/mangling by bots and scripts but don't have the energy to do anything about it. Etc. Then if you keep going eventually you get to the rarefied few maintainers of this page who think they should unilaterally personally decide how every page's templates should be spelled, and aren't really interested in outside feedback. –

I remember seeing many different versions used on different pages, sometimes even many different versions on the same page, and naively thinking they did different things. Being confused, and a bit lazy, I decided against placing & modifying them at the time. If there had been fewer variations, it would have been more intuitive. This isn't to say that those however-many #Rs shouldn't exist; they speed up editing for those familiar with them, and should be used freely. However, once someone has edited, they need to relinquish
3269:, and for those reasons, we should use that name in articles. It's also confusing to have multiple names for the same template. If shortcuts are easier to type, there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from using them, and it does not affect those users in any way if those shortcuts are later replaced. These template redirect replacements should only occur alongside other meaningful changes (or if needed following a discussion/move/etc) – they're not intended to be done for the sake of it by bots.
