User:Kvng/Incremental improvements

These minor changes improve consistency and maintainability of article source. I mark these edits minor unless the work also includes another substantial change. I try not to make edits that only include minor changes.

Short description
Add or improve

Export better description to WikiData (and edit for initial lowercase)

Tags
Add necessary tags

Remove resolved tags

Establish WP:ENGVAR, tag and create consistency

Acronyms
Link to the full description then define acronym parenthetically
 * plastic optical fiber (POF)
 * plastic optical fiber (POF)

Don't define an acronym if it is not used later in the article
 * except if the term is widely known by its acronym

Links
Avoid back-to-back links (WP:SOB)

Do not WP:OVERLINK

Do not MOS:REPEATLINK

Piped links
Remove unnecessary pipes with User:Nardog/Unpipe

Do not use a redirect as the target in a piped link

Avoid using pipes for alternate terminology. Use a redirect or, better yet, change the terminology used in the source article to match the title of the target.

Avoid piped section links. Use redirects instead, if available.

MOS:TERM: Quotes are for things someone said. Use lower-case italics for technical terms.
