We need to come up with consistent abbreviations for infobox tabs; as it is now, worlds, items, enemies, and music tracks use different ones. (Example: for ''Re:coded'', worlds use "KHc", tracks use "KHREC", characters use "KHRec", and some pages use "KHRCO".) There are two main standards in use: all caps (KHRECOM, KHBBS, KHX) and varying case (KHReCOM, KHBbS, KHχ). And then some random articles use a third way (KHRe:COM). Plus, while most of the time the HD collections are done like "KHHD2.5", some pages use "KHIIHD". We should make a list of abbreviations so that all articles are consistent with each other. –[[User:Aid1043|Aid1043]] ([[User talk:Aid1043|talk]]) 15:51, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

:I agree that we should standardize this. I think all caps might be the best option (with the exception of the χ). At the top of [[Template:c]] is a list of abbreviations that are used for pages with game tags. It might be good to follow that for consistency. For the HD collections, I think "KHHD2.5" might be better, as "KHIIHD" looks like it's a version of KHII, like "KHIIFM" or "KHIIIRM". {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:23, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
