User:Cliff/Template:Acrolist/doc

Purpose
I got this idea while reading this article. Reading pages where acronyms are defined only once, and in text, is difficult for those not familiar with the subject. Two ideas to clarify this problem.
 * 1) Change all acronyms to actual terms. (not recommended)
 * 2) Add a section to acronym heavy articles. This section would act as a sort of appendix or glossary that would prevent the reader's need to scroll through the entire article looking for the one sentence that defines the acronym. It could also be set up to work with a template. Users add in the edit, and the tag {acrolist} near the bottom.

I think this is a pretty swell idea.

Usage
Hopefully I will be able to modify the reflist template to accomplish what I want.... here's to trying new things.Cliff (talk) 22:36, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
