I've noticed some series have the following as Alternative Titles.
CCS CotS BotS BotSII Furuba NGE Eva Evangelion Crest BPS FF:U FMA FSS etc. I just want to know if these are okay as alternative titles. While I might use them all while typing a post or talking to someone, I wouldn't consider them "titles" for the show. But if it's okay, I have some I can add. |

In my opinion, the use of abbreviated names (e.g. "KonoMini" for Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai or "KimiNozo" for Kimi ga Nozomu Eien) is acceptable, for they are also the URLs of their respective official sites. However, acronyms are not necessary as alternative titles, and if no one objects in 24 hours I'm going to take them off.

I actually agree with you Furuba does not really bother me but the acronyms are a bit much.
Eva and Crest (that's rather strange to me, I would never call it that) should go, too. Do you want some help in rounding up all the acronyms? |

Yup, if "Crest" can stay, how about "Banner?" Or "Ghost" for Ghost in the Shell, "Now" for Now and Then, Here and There? That would be ridiculous.
Aye. Better submit them through the error report button. |

What's kinda funny, is you would think GitS or GitS:SAC would be there, but they aren't.
 I think they may have already been removed.
I think that all of them. The two others I found questionable weren't acronyms. I'll submit error reports for those two and someone can check them that way. |

Don't delete them. Either set them to false, or in some cases Redeem them if they are rather common. The shortened names (Furuba, Saikano, etc...) should stay Evangelion for Neon Genesis Evangelion should definitely stay. FF:U should stay IMHO the rest should go. -t |

Um, yes, that's what I meant. I can't actually "delete" them; all I can do is changing them to "Redeem" or "False." |

Can you edit other people's data? Because if you can do that you can delete....
But yeah, after I wrote that I realized that you probably meant redeem/false sorry/ |

Irk, they are gone as alternate titles, but they are still listed as links in the lists. Examples CCS or CotS.
Is there a way to remove that too? |

Nice bug. I've removed the 41 titles that were still listed despite being set to false and fixed the bug that was causing this. |
