– The .../meta/abbrev template family has been deleted following a TFD, replaced by Module:Political party (for direct invocation) and Party abbr (for article use and ease of typing). This is primarily because I was not given permission to usurp party abbrev (see this discussion) despite the latter not currently being used. However, much like party shortname linked is the "linked" version of party shortname, I think these two templates should be moved as proposed so that their purposes are clearer; additionally, the value stored in the Module is "abbrev", so calling it "party abbr" is potentially confusing.

 * Template:Party abbrev → Template:Party abbrev linked
 * Template:Party abbr → Template:Party abbrev


 * I don't oppose but I'll say that "abbr" is used by Abbr (and the HTML tag ) and is the name Manual of Style/Abbreviations uses as the displayed shortcut (MOS:ABBR). The inside of the module doesn't really matter here but even if it did, it's just a single simple find-and-replace change away. But again, I don't have any strong preference. The linked version though should be sent to TfD as unused. Gonnym (talk) 19:37, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. To be honest, my primary concern is someone wanting just an abbrev and not realising that party abbrev gives them more than just that. I'm also not particularly bothered if the abbr template stays where it is, but the abbrev spelling should then point there.
 * post-edit-conflict comment TFD is also reasonable, I figured since there was a linked shortname template this might benefit as well. Primefac (talk) 19:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Please proceed with changing the necessary parts of the template documentation on both ends to ensure the move does not affect template usability. — Coffee  //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 09:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
