Talk:List of aviation, avionics, aerospace and aeronautical abbreviations

message: Moved from Some aeronautical abbreviations because the new title better conforms to WP naming conventions. --Theo  (Talk) 09:33, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Should title read "...aeronautical abbreviations and acronyms" since most items in the list are acronyms?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.249.47.176 (talk) 13:46, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that "acronyms" should be added in the title. Indeed, strictly speaking most of the items in this page are acronyms and not abbreviations. --JGG13 (talk) 09:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Many of the entries in this list are in all caps, but should not be per WP:CAPS. Dhaluza 22:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The relevant page of the Manual of Style (WP:Manual of Style/Capital letters) begins: "Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization." The key here is "unnecessary" – thus capitalization that is required by a specific stylistic guideline is not to be avoided. Many acronyms are correctly styled as all caps; see WP:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Acronyms just above the section on All caps. Piperh (talk) 09:37, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
*http://www.aerospace-technology.com/acronyms
*:Triggered by \baerospace-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist
If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

thread_title:  uncomplete 

message: Hi,
I wish to make this page the most complete abbreviation list available. The German version is a good example and will be a good source since it has many English abbreviations. 
My plan, inspired by the German version, is to have a table at the beginning with links to all the letters sorted to the second degree. By that I mean AA, AB, AC, etc. Troubling is that I don't know how to create that architecture with all the internal links. Help needed. 
I am a relatively new Wikipedian, mostly familiar with visual editing. 
Any help appreciated

message: Does "aerospace abbreviations" include "space abbreviations"? I mean, do space-only terms belong in this list?
I have noticed there are not space-only terms in this list (I do not know why) and I would like to include some of them, if this is really the list where they should be... (I did not find any space-specific list somewhere else in wikipedia). What do you think?
Some examples of space-only terms:
* Orbits: LEO, MEO, GEO, GTO, HEO, SSO...
* Agencies/organizations: NASA, JPL, ULA, ESA, CNES, ASI, DLR, JAXA, ISRO, CNSA, CASC, CAST...
* Systems/vehicles/engineering: AOCS, ECLSS, S/C, SCT, ISS, SLS, STS, SSME, ATV, HTV, JWST, TDRS, EDRS, ECSS, PSLV, GSLV, SSLV, SSTO, IOC...

replies: text: Hi , I think that would make this list too long and uncomfortable to navigate (Template:Very long). So far, the aviation, aerospace, aeronautical and avionics abbreviations are so interrelated and interconnected that they overlap too much to have separate lists, but spaceflight seems to be - at least to me - a rather separate domain with many purposes, circumstances and technologies that are different from flight within the Earth's atmosphere. I think it's better to reserve a special list for things that only apply to spacecraft and spaceflight, and have that list and this one refer to each other for additional information. Perhaps it's a good idea to expand the List of spacecraft prefixes with the orbits, agencies, and systems/vehicles/engineering acronyms you've listed here? Perhaps this requires a different title, but I think this is the appropriate place for the information you'd like to list. :) Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:04, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Space abbreviations 

message: I propose to merge Acronyms and abbreviations in avionics into List of aviation, aerospace and aeronautical abbreviations. They are essentially the same, but the latter is more extensive and encompassing than the former, has more references and is linked to more interwikis. No one else seems to have suggested this merger before, so here I am. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 18:07, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi! I totally agree with your merger proposal. I think you should do it yourself, if you feel motivated enough and nobody speaks out against it after some days... JGG13 (talk) 18:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. It's two days later now, I think nobody is going to object to the merger, so I'm going to proceed and see if I can do it myself. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:30, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Courage!! And if you could please answer to my comment immediately above yours ("Space abbreviations") I would appreciate it! I posted it two months ago and it seems nobody cares... JGG13 (talk) 22:19, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! It's quite a tedious task, so I'm doing it in stages (just finished A and B). I opted to use 1 to indicate some abbreviations are homonyms, which could otherwise lead to confusion. I also noticed that some abbreviations use a forward slash /, but synonyms do not, e.g. A/P and AP can both mean 'autopilot'. Normally we would place punctuation before the A in alphabetical orders, but in this case it could lead the same term to be listed twice, the one without a slash much lower down in the list. I don't think that's helpful, and propose to ignore the slash for alphabetical purposes. Also, should we have separate entries for each different spelling of the same term, or will to suffice to note alternatives in the Notes section? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:14, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
