Редактирование: Abbreviations

[[Abbreviations]] are often used in [[chat]] and other places in ''[[Guild Wars 2]]''. The following article aims to document the abbreviations seen most usually. Note that none of these abbreviations are case sensitive in practice, and their appearance in-game will vary accordingly.

The page does not aim to be all encompassing, but rather to cover:
* Terms that are likely to be encountered (i.e. if you haven't seen it used commonly in chat, it's probably not well known enough and thus not likely encountered).
* Terms that are relevant to gameplay (e.g. no need to explain meanings of widely known social abbreviations such as "lol")

Some other non-abbreviation terms can be found in the [[:Category:Glossary|Glossary]] category.

When adding new abbreviations:
* If the abbreviated and non-abbreviated terms are both common, list both.
* If the term varies in capitalization, just list the most common abbreviation. (e.g. AB instead of Ab.)

You can reach this page from in-game at any time by typing <code>/wiki Lingo</code> into the chat box.
