Hi everyone, in efforts to be more helpful around here, I recently became eligible to modify information relating to card names, notes, etc.

I modified the Fortnite Series 3 base set to show the "rarity" for each card under Note2 as directed for non-sport cards from the Notes and Glossary entries guidelines. However, I am unsure that I entered the information correctly.

It appears most of the guidelines state to use abbreviations related to the Glossary entries, but this set does not have a Glossary yet. I will gladly go back through and correct the full terms to abbreviations once I receive confirmation. Can someone explain how to add a Glossary to this set, so I can correctly have the information entered?

The rarities that I entered are Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. I am assuming Uncommon and Rare should be displayed as UC and R respectively as they are commonly known in the gaming community, but how should Epic and Legendary be displayed to not conflict or cause confusion with the terms associated with sports cards

Thanks in advance for the clarification, and I hope to be more help in the future. I have added the link to the set in question, and will correct any issues once I receive confirmation.

You could check the master glossary (click on "Glossary" at the bottom of the main page). I know there's an entry for "EP" as Epic and "LEG" or "LGD" has been used for "Legend", but I'm not sure about "Legendary".

Single letter abbreviations should not be used.

Glossary is for Note1. I think if any card has a Note1, a glossary will automatically be created for that set.

Rare, Common, Uncommon, etc. should be in Note2 only ... nothing in Note1/Glossary

Thank you everyone for the quick replies. So from what I'm gathering with the information everyone has provided is that the Glossary is formed from Note1 comments/information, but keep the rarity listed on Note2 with no single letter abbreviations. Is this correct, and should I modify all the Note2 information to abrreviations, or leave them as the full word, since they are not connected to the Glossary?

Capitalized abbreviations in Note become the entries in the set's Glossary (stuff such as "SN100", "MEM", etc.).

Full text should be used in Note2, and that info does NOT go in the set's Glossary. Note2 info should NOT repeat the Note info.

Example of info in both fields that should not occur:
Note = "AS", Note2 = "All-Star"

Example of info in both fields that is proper:
Note = "MEM", Note2 = "MEM: Suit jacket"

As for the rarity info, that should be spelled out in Note2, no abbreviations.

Thank you everyone. I understand how to properly ID them now. I can finish updating the inserts later this evening. I just didn't want to royally mess up an entire set. 

Happy collecting everyone. I hope you all find your grail card soon!
