I removed the redirect to Template talk:R from initialism because initialism ≠ abbreviation. Senator2029 “Talk” 20:30, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 26 May 2019

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change the "name" parameter from "From an initialism" to "From an abbreviation". As the rest of the description indicates, the template isn't for redirects from an initialism; T:R from initialism is for that!

Handle the |of= parameter

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please port the code for |of= (a.k.a. |1=) handling, from any similar template, e.g. {{R from alternative spelling}}. This is useful in cases where a term and various abbreviations of it redirect to some other term. — AReaderOutThataway ^t/_c 20:56, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:37, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
