== name change -- ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 08:57, October 6, 2019 (EDT) == I dislike the name change, and would prefer TMG to be used for readability if a readability change is needed. We can use refer to it throughout MEpedia as TMG though, and leave the title as it is or use the title Trimethylglcine (TMG) instead. Also when not inside the page name the wbr HTML tag can be used to suggest a place for a word break when one is needed - especially useful on mobile devices (we have some styling code that already adds hyphens to break long words in place list lists) - <code><nowiki>trimethyl<wbr>glycine</nowiki ></code>. If you view one of the portals in mobile view you should see this being used to break myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome at the slash rather than elsewhere. I personally prefer a different hyphen location to keep the kids familiar part of the word together: tri-methylglycine. I will get this added to the Terminology page so each option has a popup showing the alternative name [[User:Pyrrhus]] ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 08:57, October 6, 2019 (EDT) :[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to say. What don't you like? Why? :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 17:56, October 6, 2019 (EDT) ::I think where the hyphen is makes the page name confusing, and would prefer any of: TMG, tri-methylglycine or Trimethylglycine (TMG).I also said that it's possible in the article text to get any long sentences / long words to break with a hyphen at a particular place in the word - which helps readability. I think most will be looking for "TMG" rather than the full name, so calling it TMG when talking about it on other pages is a good idea. ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 19:57, October 6, 2019 (EDT) :::Thanks for clarifying, [[User:Notjusttired|Njt]]. I will remove the hyphen from the name and make a redirect from [[TMG]] to [[Trimethylglycine]]. Thanks for the tip about <nowiki><wbr></nowiki>, I didn't know that! :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 20:13, October 6, 2019 (EDT)
