Nobody except a handful of Discord folks uses the abbreviation of "HiWi" for the Hinterwilds. The abbreviation for this area, since the earliest talk of this in Discord through today, has always been "HW." The idea that "HW" could be designated as an abbreviation for "Halfling Warriors" is fairly ridiculous. Logically speaking, there are three possible races that start with "H": Half-Elves, Half-Krolvin, and Halflings. But, if you want to quibble that the hyphen would lend itself to an abbreviation of "HE" or "HK," fine. You're still stuck with disambiguation between what the "W" represents: is it Wizard or Warrior? |

Gems
These gems were removed from the Hinterwilds page, but if they can be found in the Hinterwilds it may be beneficial to still have them on the page under a different table stating that they are also found in Icemule: a blue lace agate, a piece of polished ivory, a green alexandrite stone.

Abbreviation
I have confirmed with staff that there is presently no official abbreviation for Hinterwilds. The current edit stating "Hinterwilds (abbreviated as "HW" or "HiWi")" will remain in place. All contributors need to refrain from further edit wars on the topic of the abbreviation for Hinterwilds until a consensus is reached on its abbreviation. Further discussion can be done here on this talk page or on Discord. HOST-GSKEBECHET (talk) 11:29, 7 December 2023 (CST)
HiWi Abbreviation
Nobody except a handful of Discord folks uses the abbreviation of "HiWi" for the Hinterwilds. The abbreviation for this area, since the earliest talk of this in Discord through today, has always been "HW." The idea that "HW" could be designated as an abbreviation for "Halfling Warriors" is fairly ridiculous. Logically speaking, there are three possible races that start with "H": Half-Elves, Half-Krolvin, and Halflings. But, if you want to quibble that the hyphen would lend itself to an abbreviation of "HE" or "HK," fine. You're still stuck with disambiguation between what the "W" represents: is it Wizard or Warrior?
tl;dr: The opening paragraph should be updated to read "Hinterwilds (HW) is a challenging and large hunting ground..." and a redirect should be created for /HW to /Category:Hinterwilds_creatures
