User:Primefac/TLTs

A list of three-letter templates that could probably be expanded to a more obvious name, e.g. {{tlc}} → {{template link code}}.

To be evaluated[edit]

Second opinion requested[edit]

FBI - Template:Federal Bureau of Investigation already exists. I don't love that the abbreviation and the full name are different things... House Blaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
FIA - worth expanding? House Blaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Fs2 - looks like we need Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 February 1#Template:Football squad player2 to be resolved first? It also has a bunch of sub templates (e.g. Template:Fs2 start). House Blaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
IDG - seems to be the official name of the company, but the main article is at International Data Group. House Blaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
IPN - article uses Spanish name; should the template? I lean towards renaming to Template:Instituto Politécnico Nacional (with a redirect from the diacritic-less version), but Template:National Polytechnic Institute also works for me. House Blaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
WLW - not sure what to call this one? House Blaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
EUA - seems to be a soccer team link, not a national flag? House Blaster (talk · he/him) 18:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
