Handbook:Main_Page#Architectures says “An instruction set architecture (ISA) (wikipedia) or short architecture[…]” I think that the author meant “An instruction set architecture (ISA) (Wikipedia) or architecture for short[…]”

“Wikipedia” should be capitalized since it’s a proper noun. More importantly, the expression “for short” is the correct way to denote an alternative name. Saying “An instruction set architecture or short architecture” means either that we’re talking about two separate things (“instruction set architecture” and “short architecture”) or that people sometimes call ISAs “short architectures”. --<a href="/wiki/User:JasonYundt" title="User:JasonYundt">JasonYundt</a> (<a href="/index.php?title=User_talk:JasonYundt&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:JasonYundt (page does not exist)">talk</a>) 13:07, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
