The result of the discussion was retarget to Economy of the United Kingdom. As a normal editorial action I will add a hatnote to United Kingdom company law. Thryduulf (talk) 10:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also GB plc. I think people typing this in are more likely to be looking for the meaning given at Wiktionary and used quite frequently in UK news media, but about which we don't have an article (soft redirect?). There's also @UK plc, where this briefly pointed; and I think the current target has its merits too. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:19, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although these abbreviations are ostensibly equivalent, as redirecting one to the other would indicate, I can find no sources for what the longer abbreviation stands for, and the article that is redirected to never mentions it. Possible hoax. Specs112 t c 15:57, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • According to Acronym Finder, WYGIWYGAINUC stands for "What You Get Is What You're Given and It's No Use Complaining". It was a pejorative play on WYSIWYG, though not an especially notable one that I can tell. The redirect is not especially harmful and has been around since 2005. Nevertheless, I'm not sure the redirect is the most helpful we can be to readers. Wiktionary accepts acronym entries. Transwiki to Wiktionary (in cleaned up format), then turn this redirect into a soft-redirect using {{wi}}. Rossami (talk) 19:59, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. WYGIWYGAINUC doesn't seem to have much to do with WYSIWYG and the page gets only negligible views, so there's no obvious benefit in keeping (the reader doesn't find out what it stands for, much less any encyclopaedic information) and no significant harm in deleting. But if Wiktionary wants it (and would they? I know the criteria for neologisms is looser there, but there must be some sort of limit?) then a soft redirect would also work. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
