RFV discussion: July 2015–April 2016
Russian. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:50, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

This term currently has, dating from 2014–2015. , can you provide the exact dates of publication, please? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 13:48, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

It would appear that all three citations date from 2015. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:45, 17 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Can we delete the RFV tag now? Mr KEBAB (talk) 14:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

RFV passed. I have added a 2016 cite. bd2412 T 23:54, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Without knowing their exact dates of publication, the four citations currently in the entry might span less than a year (if, for example, they date from June 2015, August 2015, November 2015, and February 2016); therefore, we'd ideally have another citation from 2014. However, I don't doubt that this Russian phrase would meet our attestability requirements, so I'm not going to push the issue any further. Thank you, bd2412, for adding the 2016 citation. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 14:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks to you both. If you're interested, I put a request for minor cleanup regarding this entry a few days ago. Mr KEBAB (talk) 15:10, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

RFC discussion: April 2016–February 2021
Hello. On that page, we list ДНР as an "alternative form" of Донецкая Народная Республика, but AFAICS it's just an initialism. Should we move it somewhere else? Mr KEBAB (talk) 14:16, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Any suggestions? Mr KEBAB (talk) 14:52, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess we usually list initialisms under Synonyms (e.g. at United States of America and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 15:05, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * We used to put forms such as that under the heading ====Abbreviations====, but I believe that has been discontinued. I don’t know what if anything has taken its place. —Stephen (Talk) 15:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I searched and see that there are quite a few entries with an ====Abbreviations==== section, so maybe it is still being used. For example, seee мужской род. That would be my preference. —Stephen (Talk) 15:52, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, we should use the header ====Abbreviations====, although some words that start out as abbreviations take on a slightly different shade of meaning or usage and then would have to be put under ====Synonyms==== or ====Related terms====. --WikiTiki89 15:50, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I could be wrong, but I believe it was the POS header "===Abbreviation===" that was discontinued. I don't know anything about an "====Abbreviations====" subsection header. Chuck Entz (talk) 02:37, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Resolved. Moved under synonyms. "Abbreviations" is not in WT:ELE. &mdash; surjection &lang;??&rang; 21:37, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
