START DOCUMENT
UPDATE NOTE: The below table has been compiled from the previous version, with removals (Some common-names, as they are not acceptable standards) and additions to comply with Australian, (English) Canadian, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States standards. The words abbreviation/s are used below, however refer to both abbreviation/s and acronym/s.
Other abbreviations
Prefixes, directional abbreviations and other (non-suffix) abbreviations should not be used.
- Prefix abbreviations include: Mount (Mt.), and Saint (St.). Although they are common, can cause issues as variation exists between naming, usage, and prefix standards (I.e. What words to, and how to, abbreviate).
- Directional abbreviations include: East (E), South West (SW), Central (CN), Upper (UP), and Lower (LR). In addition to not being abbreviated, directions should only be included when they are a part of the documented name, and not a suffix or prefix added at a later stage to describe location.
- Other abbreviations include: Island (Is.), Quay (Qy), and Reserve (Res). These are acceptable to be used when naming roads or other traversable paths, but not acceptable for place names.
