 Martin,
I asked for the gazette article that was never provided. I am not disagreeing with abbreviation. I am asking what source we use as the federal provincial and municipal do no match. I assume you know this reading the sources I provided you.
The correct answer could have been we use federal sources only not provincial or municipal. And that is a perfectly fine answer. I expect the wiki to reflect this. I would also expect it to be clear on items we don’t have federal documents for and how those names should be handled.

If this helps. And I think Pierre in his post provided links to databases that provide non-abbreviated names for Alberta.
abbreviation | əˌbriːvɪˈeɪʃn  | noun a shortened form of a word or phrase: the chemical symbol Ag is an abbreviation of the Latin word for silver, argentum | use simple words and no abbreviations. • [mass noun] the process of abbreviating something: nursing records must be written without abbreviation. ORIGIN late Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French abreviation, from ecclesiastical Latin abbreviatio(n-), from the verb abbreviare (see abbreviate).

>From Pierre B’eland Post:____________________Permettez-moi de revenir sur le sujet des répertoires de données officielles au Canada. J'ai pris le temps de télécharger les données pour l'Alberta et j'y constate que les noms sont écrits sans abbréviation ie. South-East, South-West et non SE, SW.(voir liens NRN plus bas).
Les données officielles sont collectées par les provinces et territoires. Le gouvernement fédéral y ajoute de données fédérales telles que Pacs nationaux.  

La Commission de toponymie du Canada - Geographical Names Board of Canada gère ces données. Cette Commission comprend des représentants des provinces et territoires et ministères fédéraux.https://www.rncan.gc.ca/sciences-de-la-terre/geographie/commission-de-toponymie-du-canada/11085

 De là des répertoires sont disponibles notamment sur le site des données ouvertes du Canada.Voici deux grands répertoires de données vectorielles qui nous intéressent
