| Ten Forward → Community consensus - series abbreviations (Reply | Watch) |
It has been quite a few years since this was discussed (as most series are well established - but we do have some new series coming around and I wanted to make sure we're all on the same page.
I did find an older image where "Vanguard" was abbreviated as "VGD" - but I remember i was shut down soundly as a new user for suggesting that "Voyager" be "VGR" (rather than the previous community consensus "VOY") - and this makes sense, as VGD and VGR are similar and could be confusing.
One of the most compelling arguments for sticking to a sensible abbreviation was to use the anagrams (DS9, TNG, TOS, etc) or the first three letters - but exceptions exist since we seemed to want to avoid abbreviating TITAN as "TIT" :/
Some series have been rebranded - "IKS Gorkon" became "Klingon Empire" (Do "GKN" and "KE" seem logical as is?) and "SCE" became "CoE" -- and "New Earth" became "Challenger", but was never serialized *shrugs*
Our new series are Prometheus and Discovery. "PRO" and "DIS"? -- captainmike

- Any particular reason (other than "It's always been done this way.") why it should be three letters, all caps? After all, "KE" and "CoE" already break that "tradition". Personally, in the cases of "Prometheus" and "Discovery", I'd go with four letters: "PROM" and "DISC". - Bell'Orso (talk) 11:09, March 15, 2017 (UTC)
