Is Normed space an R from short name or just an R from alternative name? I don't fully understand the meaning of this rcat. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:03, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think that it is a short name, as Normed space is semantically a subset of Normed vector space. Klbrain (talk) 08:27, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. Not sure why I asked this question (more than a year ago), since that now seems obvious to me. ~~~~

The text describing the role of the template seems to be unclear. It is currently This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a person's full name, a book title, or other more complete article title; what confuses me is "other more complete article title". Shouldn't that be less, because this is relative to the from page? Klbrain (talk) 08:25, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It is a shortened form of a more complete article title. ~~~~

"This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a person's full name, the title of a written work, or other more complete article title." should be "This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a person's full name, the title of a written work, or other less complete article title." (word *more* to *less* because it’s from a title that’s shorter with less words.) BhamBoi (talk) 23:50, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To editor BhamBoi: take out the in-between and it reads "This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of [a] more complete article title." Perhaps it would be more clear if it reads "This is a redirect from a title that is a shortened form of a more complete article title, such as a person's full name or the unbroken title of a written work."
