How did you do that?
Awesome. For abbreviations this clearly works better than unique tags.
In combination with the FoxReplace addon for firefox you can set this up to automatically happen for some common abbreviations like: AFAIK, FYI, TL;DR, etc…
that works fine
There is a third-party plug-in for Discourse to automate this for everyone:
@Freso: Would it be possible to have it installed?
(Official Discourse plug-in seems to be currently broken.)
What does AIUI mean?
What has happened to mon Capitaine’s pursuit of mystery and romance?
Any answer I give, if truthful and at all transparent, will reduce the mystery and romance of my post.
Je refuse!
Your request can only be some sort of test of my commitment to our cause.
Hi @ClA_psHydra, can you still turn your first post into a wiki post, or had the time limit part already?
We could use that post to collaboratively add all acronyms in alphabetical order.
Oh thanks @Freso for the post/topic clean-up!
I’d prefer to use the actual wiki for this, rather than using community posts, or maybe using the plugin @yvanzo found (will look into it soon!).
“TTFN” (Ta ta for now) and “AIUI” are ‘standard’ internet abbreviations/acronyms and not really MB specific. For MusicBrainz specific things:
https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz_Slang
https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Terminology
As said earlier in the topic, I’d be happy to discuss how to clean these up/organise them better/otherwise improve them.
CAA = Cover Art Archive
In edit notes, where I do use lots of abbreviations, I put them between square brackets, so that they link to the wiki: [AC]
→ AC.
I wasn’t very happy with the plugin @yvanzo found earlier, so I asked in the thread for the plugin that apparently doesn’t work anymore, and Sam Saffron replied there pointed to a “theme component” that might be easily portable to do essentially the same thing. So I ported it to do essentially the same thing, and this thread is a perfect example of how it works.
You can see the code in action here:
Feel free to continue posting in here if you come across other abbreviations that you don’t understand!
Some more acronyms!
WP -> Wikipedia
(similarly WD for WikiData)
Op can also be “opus number” which is relevant to classical music.
AFAIK -> As Far As I Know
AR -> Advanced Relationship
rel -> relationships/Advanced Relationship
AFK -> Away from Keyboard
SAR -> Stand-alone recording
cat# -> Catalogue number
GSoC -> Google Summer of Code
GCI -> Google Code-In
FTR: for the record
With punctuation it does not see the acronyms: CAA? is NG while CAA is OK.
Progressively I recall some other abbreviations I may usually use (with [WikiLink]
for documented MB terms) in my edit notes.
