< User:Dinoguy1000

We use a bunch of 1, 2, and 3-character abbreviations for various things, some of which are official and some not so much; they've never been reviewed to try to minimize collisions AFAIK. Bold abbreviations are official, italic are semi-official, and plain are unofficial/specific to the wiki. If an abbreviation has multiple uses of the same type/in the same section, which are split in some way between official, semi-official, and unofficial, each "level" is listed separately. Abbreviations followed by ! indicate conflicts.

SetsEdit

OCG/TCGEdit

Most 2-character set prefixes are from Series 2 sets; only one or two are from sets released afterwards. The wiki has an in-house set of often ad-hoc abbreviations used for Series 1 sets (which have no official standardized set prefixes, though some abbreviations/prefixes were published in the first two The Valuable Book volumes). Unless otherwise noted, all sets listed here are Japanese.

NotesEdit

  1. a b c d e f g h i j Backconstructed from later official set prefixes.

Dungeon Dice MonstersEdit

Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters cards had card numbers (other than the original Japanese Starter Box), all of which used two-character set prefixes; some of these conflicted with set prefixes used in the OCG later.

It isn't normally as important to avoid collisions with these abbreviations, but we should still be mindful of them and avoid them where it can be reasonably managed.
