    SoL, obviously.
    It became clear that it wasn’t realistic to try to get the audience back to being more hardcore, as it had been in the past. -- Tom Chilton

    I will just call it Shadowlands, I've been wanting to explore this concept/idea for a great deal of time and I think think it deserves its proper format and title

    If Cataclysm can be called Cata, then Shadowlands can be called Shadow

    Shlands sounds too much like it could be Shitlands. Which it might end up being.

    ShadowLands = ShL, simply.

    And then you get countless mistakes with Shadow Priests. Surely not.

    Always remember the people who wanted to shorten Legion.

    ShL is the only right answer.

    Chadland. It's barely shorter but sounds cool.

    well Shadow Labyrinth was slabs so it'd make sense to call it Slands. But since slabs wasn't SL it also makes sense to call Shadowlands SL since there is not conflict.

    OT:

    SL, obviously.

    Probably SL, but since it's just one word I don't feel a need to.
    Now you see it. Now you don't.

    But was where Dalaran?

    There's something to the ring of SL that doesn't do it for me. I guess I'll do it Legion style, and just call it Shadowlands

    How should we go about abbreviating Shadowlands?

    As of now I've been using Shadowlands, the same way I use Legion since Legion is a one-word expansion. I turn the multi-word expansions (which seems to be the majority) into acronyms like TBC, WotLK, and WoD. But if Shadowlands was made into an acronym I'd prefer either "SdL" or "ShL" probably.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
