B\P & BP
I wanted to add an entry for the Barrage with pet build that is popular in the ruins now. Any help would be appreciated I read the update faq and guide, but I'm not sure how to get it to appear under the alphabet letter. I appologize in advance for my ignorance I've never worked on a wiki before... --Cyricx 13:25, 27 February 2006 (EST)

TPK/ToPK
I see th(is/ese) acronym(s) mentioned, in the Builds -> PvE Builds -> Team Barrage/Pet Tomb Ruins discussion page...? --Queen of Spades 12:38, 14 March 2006 (CST)


 * ToPK in that discussion is Tomb of the Primeval Kings. TPK seems to refer to "total party whipeout" but I am not sure. --Karlos 12:51, 14 March 2006 (CST)

(sp?)
I always see people putting "(sp?)" after everything they say. What in the world does it mean? From the Korean games I used to play, I always thought it meant "Singaporean?".--Sagius Truthbarron 17:28, 13 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I've always used (sp?) to indicate that I wasn't 100% sure that I was spelling something correctly in what I had just typed. I don't know if that makes sense for where you're running into it.    --Rainith 17:50, 13 April 2006 (CDT)
 * "Should I bring Signet of Devotion (sp?)"
 * "No, you noob, Signet of Devotion is not a spell!"

It's no way GW exclusive, this bad spellerer has been using it for years :p Skuld  08:21, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

IW/HA
When ppl talking about build for many profs, 'IW' is metioned. And I can't figure out what's the meaning. [quote]Me/A: Dark Escape, perhaps for an IW combo [/quote]

I don't know what's the meaning of 'HA' either, when it comes again talking about builds.. [quote]I've run this skill many times in HA builds[/quote]

anyone know what are they refering to would like to add an entry?
 * IW refers to Illusionary Weaponry. HA refers to Heroes' Ascent. --Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 05:50, 4 August 2006 (CDT)

OOP
Order of Pain is mentioned twice, as OOP and OoP. I would fix it but I have no idea how these Category pages work. -- Macros† ( talk / contribs ) 13:58, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Case
So, I changed the ones that were all-lowercase (besides the first letter, of course) to be "proper" case and left behind the redirects that would help searches. For example, Lod -> LoD for light of deliverance. I also removed some duplicates such as Anet/ANet and HoH/HOH from the category. Some are still all-uppercase, but I left those as they were. --Fyren 21:19, 28 January 2007 (CST)

Okay, there are a lot of extra redirects that don't appear nessecary. WoH and WOH are two separate pages that both redirect to WoH. As far as I've been able to determine, they do not appear to be nessecary as search doesnt care about case. In the case (not pun intended), we don't need both and if all abbreviations are properly catagorized then we will have alot of redundant ones listed. Having two different abbreviations for the same thing may be confusing and I would like to have teh extra ones deleted in favor of the ones with the correct case. (Usually mixed case is more accurate I feel; WoH over WOH, LoD over LOD). If I am not mistaken in my presumption that the case doesn't matter (that WoH will still redirect to Word of Healing if I search for wOh or whatever), does anyone have any issues with this? &mdash; JediRogue  16:47, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Today, Fyren has a system! For those of you just joining us: The correct case goes in the category. Any other redirects which exist to allow for different cases in the search should probably exist and shouldn't be in the category. Do I have that right? &mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] 22:17, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, I think my comment at the beginning of the section explained it. Before that comment, it was pretty much random which were in the category or if multiple redirects even existed.  --Fyren 22:24, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

IMO
People in wiki use it all the time but it isnt mentioned on this page, what the hell does it mean? xD ~Quaz
 * In my opinion also IMHO for in my humble opinion--68.102.128.17 19:39, 24 June 2007 (CDT)

VWK
Would someone mind adding VWK as the abbreviation for Vengeful Was Khanhei? I can't seem to figure out how to edit categories... ~ SotiCoto 81.86.47.100 14:24, 1 May 2007 (CDT)

Not needed. Its already redirected to the skill. Readem (talk *contribs ) 19:54, 24 June 2007 (CDT)

List?
This is kinda annoying to sort through, wouldn't just be easier to have like a 2 column data table? Just Abbreviation, What it stands for and hyperlink to page. 70.30.26.23 02:21, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Abbreviations?
The majority looks more like acronyms. O_o Me is proposes a move thingy for dis blasphemy! RoseOfKali 00:25, March 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * An acronym is a form of abbreviation. The examples given for abbreviation include "U.S. for United States," which is an acronym.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 00:31, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
