lb vs. label

Thank you for stepping up and doing the changes proposed at Wiktionary:Votes/2015-11/term → m; context → label; usex → ux, but please use {{lb}}, not {{label}}, as supported by a number of people in that vote.

I think that whether we allow the use of the full name of templates needs a separate vote. Personally I am opposed to restricting it; if people want to write {{mention}} instead of {{m}} or {{inherited}} instead of {{inh}}, then let them. The shortcuts are a convenience, no more.

Still, what you think personally is not exactly what the results of the vote are. Another user already proposed doing it himself in the vote page.

My personal opinion is this: I don't see anybody using {{inherited}} instead of {{inh}} yet, but I prefer shorter codes everywhere so maybe I would propose allowing bots to change all instances of {{inherited}} to {{inh}} if I did. On the other hand, using a bot to change all instances of {{label}} to {{lb}} was already approved by vote.
