Thank you both for clarifying this.

If an abbreviation (or more precisely, an acronym) is going to be used in an article, the best way to do it is by writing the complete term the first time it appears on the page, followed immediately by the acronym itself inside parentheses. That way it serves as a referrer to the reader while finding more abbreviations in other sections of the article.

Example:
 * Lords of Shadow is a game that overuses quick time events (QTE). Every time one third of the Succubus' health bar has been depleted, the player must perform a QTE.

Terms like QTE, FOV, AoE, etc. are now common in the gaming community. However, an editor must always keep in mind that not everyone knows the meaning of these terms and for that reason they should insist in writing their articles as easy to read as possible.

Thanks again for your replies and have a nice day. ☺
