[[Big Bend State]] etc.
Fragment of a discussion from User talk:TheDaveRoss
I agree that what is listed is not a definition, per se, which is a problem with content like this which is fundamentally encyclopedic. I think what you are saying is to do something like this:
- (official nickname) The state of Alaska in the United States.
Which is not any different except to a couple hundred people who are editors here, and I think violates the spirit of {{label}}
(or whatever is the right one of those to use now). I don't have strong feelings about it guess.
The arcane {{non-gloss definition}}
seems like the thing to use here. It's a pain to write out, but I would write either "{{n-g|Nickname for}}
the state of Alaska in the United States" or "{{n-g|Nickname for the state of Alaska in the United States}}
".
