  Your limerick's pretty good, Denazz. CitationsFreak (talk) 06:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

• Keep I don't see the problem here. We have Category:English text messaging slang. It's a nonstandard format and it should really have a conjunction section, a determiner section, a pronoun section, etc, but these would all say "Abbreviation of that", so I honestly don't know if that would actually be more helpful to users. Most dictionaries would put all those under a single Abbreviation header - do we ever use that? Smurrayinchester (talk) 08:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Smurrayinchester: The “Abbreviation” header is explicitly disallowed: see Wiktionary:Entry layout § Part of speech; this was the result of Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2015-12/Part of speech. J3133 (talk) 14:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Keep. Same reasoning as Smurray, and also what seems to be the main error (the PoS tagging) is fixed. CitationsFreak (talk) 06:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Obviously keep. You don’t delete poorly formatted entries unless it’s created by a vandal. Inqilābī 12:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
