Abbreviation "Aon"

Consistently throughout infoboxes on pages such as constituencies, elections, etc. the party is referred to as "Aon". While I understand there are cases where brevity is necessary and Aontú has to be abbreviated alongside other parties, e.g. Fianna Fáil = FF, Labour = Lab, Alliance Party of Northern Ireland = APNI. However, the party is being called "Aon" in places where it is not necessary to shorten the name, especially not to one which it is not commonly shortened to, such as constituency infoboxes, electoral result boxes, etc. Meanwhile in the same infoboxes parties such as Alliance, Labour, People Before Profit, etc. are spelled out in full. This is confusing and people would at a glance assume the party is called "Aon" in full. In my view, this needs to be rectified and the party's full name restored where appropriate.

Importance for WikiProject Ireland

Reviewed and updated on quality. I do question the priority of Mid - Aontu is notable, and gets more visibility than absolute scale and power might suggest, but still, with 1 TD and 3 councillors, simply Notable (=Low prio) seems more proportionate. Checking further, Independent Ireland, for example, with 3 TDs and multiple local authority people, is rightly at Low prio. SeoR ( talk) 23:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Add Syncretic to party position

I am sick of idiots saying that it is WP:OR for me to say it is Syncretic. Opinions on the matter? (Note: Aontu is a minor party, meaning it'll be hard to find many sources 59.102.22.11 ( talk) 11:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

And some of us are sick of editors repeatedly adding what they want to an article, against WP:CONSENSUS, when all that's needed to get that consensus is to cite a reliable source. As it's you who wants to add this content, the WP:ONUS is on you to find a reliable reference that describes Aontú as syncretic. Can't do it? Then it can't happen. Have such references? Then you're good. This isn't complicated. Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 11:58, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply
And sometimes, you don't need a source. The Futurist Political Party (Italy, 1918) has no source, and was similarly insignificant. It is like saying you need a source for an open fascist microparty to be classified as far-right. 59.102.22.11 ( talk) 01:28, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply
If you disagree so heavily on the syncretic label, all I could find on it's political position was centre-right. https://politpro.eu/en/ireland/parties 59.102.22.11 ( talk) 01:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC) reply
