| Is there a way to use abbreviations for links with identifiers? For example, typing <nowiki>[[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Target Terror]]</nowiki> as <nowiki>{{a|Target Terror|DKC2}}</nowiki> to output [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Target Terror]]?

| Is this template allowed for usage in section headings or would that mess up transcluding to certain sections? [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 10:28, December 28, 2024 (EST)

| :It messes up section links in the edit summary box, breaking their ability to link directly to the section, so it should be avoided. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 11:36, December 31, 2024 (EST)

| ==Episodes==
| |
| Is there a way to allow episode titles to be added to this? For example, "[[Mighty McMario and the Pot of Gold]]" as "SMBSS|MMMPG," with the pipe dividing the show title from the episode title, or would that require a separate template altogether?

| :Couldn't do it with a pipe. But we could use a character to indicate "level 2" abbreviations such as : and add "SMBSS:MMMPG" to the list --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 13:54, December 28, 2024 (EST)

| ::Yeah, that would work too. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 13:58, December 28, 2024 (EST)

| I do understand that "SMBW" and "SMS" and "MKDD" may be immediately recognized in the wiki for most editors, but there are some abbreviations that might spell trouble like "DM", "Y". I do think not all games should have abbreviated counterparts, but what to distinguish between common and uncommon abbreviations might open another debate. {{User:Mario/sig}} 19:30, December 28, 2024 (EST)
