Category talk:Short name redirects

Isn't this the exact same thing as the abbreviation redirect category? I think these two categories (and corresponding templates) should be merged. Jogden (talk) 02:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think half this category is already in the abbreviations redirect category anyway. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 20:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a techical difference. An abbreviation contains the semantic meaning in a condensed form, while a short name only contains part, but that in an unabbreviated form. An example would be "Prince Rurik" vs "Rurik". The latter contains no information about the princly part.


 * But since most people wouldn't care about such lingusitc fine points, we could just as well merge. Backsword 23:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
