Wikipedia talk:WTF? OMG! TMD TLA. ARG!

message: Adding a translation section makes the page too long and reduces the impact.
Leaving in the wonderful ABBized version makes it too unreadable and reduces the impact too. ARGH! Choices choices, what to do? Kim Bruning 14:50, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  How-to 

message: This is hilarious. 
And very sensible. 
Especially for article talk pages. Wierd shortcuts (even worse when people don't link them, using things like "AGF" as if they're normal words) makes it hard for new people to understand. 
not that i haven't been guilty of it myself
but this is good. Cookies to whoever wrote this. --`/aksha 10:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Why not just have a bot that replaces 3LAs with expansions, allowing for typing shortcuts (tip: if you require that many typing shortcuts, maybe you're putting too much effort into wikipedia?) AND newbie comprehension:
 rv as per WP:OR, newbie: don't break 3RR
would be auto-replaced to:
 revert edit as per "no original research" policy, newbie: don't break the rule 
 that states that you shouldn't revert an edit more than 3 times in a day.
everyone's happy, everyone can understand everything, just at the expense of someone writing a bot. --Arkelweis (talk) 20:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: My feeling was that a template would also be useful and easier to set up than a bot, but likely difficult to keep up with changing policies without also breaking past uses. Foxyshadis(talk) 02:50, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  undiscombobubot 

message: It's funny. The title of the article does not explain what this important essay is about. 
And why? Oh, the irony...
Because it consists of nothing but acronyms. :) 
I suggest changing the title to something clearer such as
Overuse of acronyms like NFCC, PRJ, RDR, and so on 
Or something else that is clear. --Timeshifter (talk) 14:56, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This essay is awesome. When I was a newbie, I was overwhelmed by all the WP:...'s. Later, I thought of doing an essay like this but would have named it WP:THIS AND THAT.--NortyNort  (Holla) 12:11, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
