Talk:Lingo

I'd say the page should lose the common acronyms. Just a link to the full list would be more than enough and most of the terms listed aren't things you encounter that common: For example no new player needs to know what stuff like the OAF or the CCW even is. Try to focus on things that will be in reach of a new player. Teach them how to walk, before you show them what running looks like. If you really want to cover the whole uncut lingo of the kingdom's community, split the page into two (or even three) sections. Also when what follows a headline is just one sentence, you should consider using a different format. Like this:
Cocoabo – Performs a variety of actions, like a Cocoabo.

Does anybody really use the term "HCperm" rather than "hardperm"? Also, I've never read "Volley", "Brero", "Squito", "Spleeniar" or "Tato" anywhere but here. The same is true for "Tater", but at least I've heard that one before. I'm under the impression that Arashmin tried to include every imaginable slang word he could find. While I'm convinced he did it with the best of intentions, reading that page as someone who is just getting into KoL could be a proper downer. So I'm going to remove all the words and acronyms that look like they're either made up or aren't relevant to the average player - like BRC. I don't have an answer to everything, so feel free to put words which you think are even vaguely important to mention back in. --Yatsufusa (talk) 05:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

I have never heard of "hardperm", only "HCperm", although it would usually be spelled in two words. The familiar abbreviations, nope. Why would it be a "proper downer"? BRC, no, that is irrelevant. Only adding lingo that has actually been seen, sure, good idea. I corrected your post a little bit, rewind if you don't like it._Blargh (talk) 15:32, 6 September 2014 (UTC)_

I'm alright with your corrections, since it's easier to read now. As you might have notice, there are limits to my English language skills (and nightly attention span), but I prefer looking like a stupid foreigner rather than not getting improvements done that I care about. So: No hard feelings at all. In the end we're all here to make stuff better for everyone.
I feel like newer players, who this page is aimed at, would feel discouraged if they had to learn even more shorthand and acronyms for everything. We have the Acronyms page which is even linked here, so I would like to keep most of the acronyms on that page. Also, like I already addressed above, the page seems artificially blown up by all the headlines and huge TOC. Maybe it would look like a quicker/easier read if we shortened at least the familiar types by using a table or something. Then again, it could just be me... --Yatsufusa (talk) 04:02, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

You don't look like a stupid foreigner to me, at all. In fact, I'm not even sure you are a foreigner, relative to me.
As for the page in question, I don't actually have much of an opinion, although I would like to bring to your attention the existence of __NOTOC__, which removes the TOC when included on the page._Blargh (talk) 08:26, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
