Updating the ETSI info and adding how standards are made

I'm interested in updating this page by adding:-

- information about the Partnership Projects such as 3GPP
- the Process of making standards (meetings and how they work).
- a section on how to navigate ETSI based standards.

These references suck

They're all from the ETSI website. Wikipedia's stance is that if there isn't significant, verifiable press coverage, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reriksenus (talk • contribs) 04:35, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some references

This page needs more references and probably a section about the standards they release in a condensed what/when history format.

Here are some references that I found but have no good place to put them

Possible orphan initialism

The https://www.etsi.org/ website seems to have removed almost all references to the name "European Telecommunications Standards Institute" and now references the organization solely as as "ETSI" (with a few exceptions[1]). It seems perhaps the organization is changing it's name to an orphan initialism. I speculate that this might be to remove an implied limitation on the scope of its standards to telecommunications, or less likely, to Europe. In any case, I can't find a press release or other documentation of the name change, but wanted to document that the organization should probably be referred to simply as "ETSI" rather than "European Telecommunications Standards Institute" as the WP:COMMONNAME. It seems troublesome to change this article without having better sources than archived about pages on ETSI's website. Daask (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed it does seem like they're washed away where the acronym came from, though it's still mentioned once on their about page https://www.etsi.org/about , which seems like the expanded name was only mentioned in 1989 which seems highly unlikely. A good search of archive.org would probably be a worthy study by someone with time. Hardaker (talk) 09:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ETSI → European Telecommunications Standards Institute – This was moved by CFA per a request at RMT by Amigao, however later objected by Intrisit and thus moved back for a community discussion. I do not have any opinions here. (Count me neutral). _Regards,Aafi ^(talk) 16:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Intrisit: What is your rationale for objecting to the move? MOS:ACROTITLE suggests this ought to be located at the full name. Acronoym page titles are really only used in exceptional cases, like NASA. C F A 💬 17:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Times may have changed since my account creation as I've now been involved about 5 multiple acronym/initialism-based RM/RMTR moves, as you can see in my contributions page. If that MOS guideline says so, the COSAFA title should have been moved back or opposed like here despite the RM, so must UNAF despite my RMTR nomination and UNIFFAC which I deemed as "undiscussed", just like this one. I was astounded and shocked to see this page (which I visited over 100 times since April this year and saw no title objection until now) nominated to have its title go back to its full title. Sure the MOS guideline is exceptionally used, but where I see no DABs and confusion (maybe Etsi), this title should stay here. Let the community proceed to challenge this, then I'll arrive back here no more! See this and this for proofs! Intrisit (talk) 18:05, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
