Purpose: To provide an index to all pages on this Wiki describing an acronym or initialism.


[If we had this to do over again, I'd suggest "Category Keyword" as a better unit.]

[I disagree, because keywords mean something else in the context of computer languages (though admittedly not Tcl.) Category Abbreviation would have been better, but far more general and so perhaps not quite as helpful in practice.] [However, I would never equate abbreviation or keyword with the types of things envisioned for this category - keyword are complete words indicative of content, and I think of abbreviations as shorted forms for words - Dr. for Doctor, for instance. Neither of these terms would I associate with, say, the string FTP. I think of http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=acronym&r=67 as defining what this category, to me, would represent. Now, if there are pages marked as being in this category which do not truly fit the category, changing the page's category would seem to be in order...]

How does one get a link to an acronym page?

If you are writing a page, and you want to create a page for an acronym, then put the acronym in [square brackets] like that. When you save the page, then either be a link to an existing page for that acronym will appear, or a link to an empty page, ready for you to add information about the acronymn.
