Acronym tooltips

  • Makes use of Extension:Lingo

    • Our syntax is: ;ACRONYM:[[Internal Link]]. Brief description as per the most canonical source available, such as the ICANN Bylaws (''Source'').
    • Note: Pluralization is not natively supported by the extension, and acronyms with potential plural forms need to be declared manually.
