I suggest renaming of pages
1. "Cross-site scripting" => "Cross-site scripting (XSS, XSSI)" https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting
2. "Cross-site request forgery" => "Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)" https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-site_request_forgery
Before doing that I want to be sure that you accept it. To you support my initiative.
Another page, part of the MW Security Guide, has already (only) XSS in its name
DOM-based_XSS https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/DOM-based_XSS
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MSG .
Rationale:
The change would have the advantages, that the section and pages in the MediaWiki Security Guide (MSG) have the same, more detailed page title. And that the commonly used abbrevations are then forming part of this title.
I am asking, because these pages are so important and I don't want to be rude simply changing it. Can you confirm you allow me that change?

What actual benefit with having their abbreviation in the title archive?

Make users aware at the first glance to the TOC, that XSS is this and CSRF is that if they did not yet know this. You, as expert, can overread the part in parentheses.
I am the "editor" of that book, and I like it in.
BTW, what is the purpose in having a title "DOM-based XSS" (like it is now) instead of the more distinct and absolutely clear title "DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (CSS)"

Including the abbreviation into the title seems quite a non-standard thing to do. Parenthesis are typically used for disambig, not adding extra versions of the title.
((Side note, XSS not CSS))

I fixed it locally" on the MSG page;
[[pagename|Pagename (something)]]
The E:Collection page renderer obeys my page names and - as wanted - uses "Pagename (something)" as header on pages. So I could locally fix my problem, and no rename is needed.
problem solved with a differnt solution; thread closed.

Editorially, I'd suggest "[[ Cross-site request forgery]] (XSS)".

"Cross-Site Scripting (DOM-based)" might be a better name for that page? I didn't put much thought into it before naming it originally.
It would be good to make the names consistent, thanks for working on this Thomas.
