Hi! Since there seem to be opinions on all sides for the "should we keep expanding abbreviations" debate, I'm going to run a wider vote to see what people think. Please choose one of the options below, and "vote" by signing under it (using the "your signature" icon). Feel free to add any comment with your vote, but please use either the mailing list or the forum for any discussion longer than just a vote comment. I'll take a look at the results at the end of January or start of February and take a decision with the info :)

Expand all abbreviations

Keep all as is. "Pt." should be expanded to "Part", "Vol." should be expanded to "Volume" (or its language equivalents), etc.

Don't expand abbreviations, but keep series consistent

Keep things like "Pt." and "Vol." as on cover, but allow keeping series standardised if inconsistent (if most say "Volume" then use "Volume" for all - same for "Vol." or "Tome" or whatever).

Don't expand abbreviations

Keep things like "Pt." and "Vol." as on cover, even if their style changes through a series - series entities and series numbers already do all that's needed.
