Draconnier: /* The jargon */ Merged 'Abbreviations' and 'Jargon'

==Introduction==
This page is for explaining all the various jargon that is used on IRC and the servers. Most of this jargon are just abbrevations of certain OpenTTD terms, but these are also explained here. Please keep the list alphabetically sorted when you edit it. Have also a look on our [[Glossary]] and the [[Naming conventions]].

==The jargon==
{{JargonHeader}}
{{Jargon|<random number>|||When using any number in game chat (sometimes prefixed with a #) we are talking about a train, with the number being the train's number so other people can look it up quickly}}
{{Jargon|1st tier, primaries|||The name that is used for all industries that produce raw (not processed) cargo, the coalmine for example. It is also used for trains that transport raw cargo, they are called "1st tier trains" or "primary trains".}}
{{Jargon|2nd tier, secondaries|||The name that is used for all the industries that accept raw cargo and possibly produce a new cargo. When trains transport this new cargo they're called "2nd tier trains" or "secondary trains".}}
{{Jargon|BBH|Backbone_Hub|Main hub|A hub that connects multiple mainlines with each other}}
{{Jargon|Cargo|||Synonym for freight}}
{{Jargon|CL|||CL stands for curve length mostly used to describe how big a curve must be to let pass trains with a certain [[User:Tim/Tilelength|TL]] at full speed.}}

{{Jargon|MM|Game_Start|Money maker|The little network we build at the game start to earn money so we can make a plan and start building a network. MM is also used to show which stations belong to the money maker by numbering them and giving them the MM prefix. Sometimes these stations survive till the end of a game!}}
{{Jargon|LL / RR|||or variations are indicating directions on a main- or sideline}}
{{Jargon|Pax|||A shorter way to say passengers.}}
{{Jargon|Pickup|Basic Stations|Stations|A station where trains pick up cargo}}

{{Jargon|SLH|Sideline_Hub|Sideline hub|A hub that connects a sideline to the mainline}}
{{Jargon|SML|Shift_Mainlines|SML page|SML stands for "Shift Main Line".}}
{{Jargon|TF|Terraforming|Terraforming|TF is short for Terraform(ing).}}

Perhaps editing and redirecting to [[Guides:Glossary]] would be more useful. It's confusing to have two pages with the same info. Glossary is also linked to from more places. --[[User:KenjiE20|KenjiE20]] 12:40, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

And may be altogether mixed with [[Jargon]], that already includes numerous abbreviations.

:whoops, I didn't see that. I asked serveral times in the channel if there is an article like this and i got no answer. I'll take care of that later. --[[User:Draconnier|draconnier]] 14:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
