Abbreviation

Requesting a new abbreviation for Weekly Task Force... honestly I don;t wanna be getting tells like this:

[Tell]averagejoehero:WTF?

Maybe Task Force of the Week (TFW) would be better as a global recommendation for abbreviation. just a thought.Joshex 19:25, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Technically, WST is the proper official abbreviation based on the term that was handed to us by the developers. The alternate abbreviations are in frequent use throughout the community, meaning that only the community-at-large really has the power to change that. --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 19:36, 17 February 2011 (UTC)


Past Strike Targets?

At what point do we start removing "Past Strike Targets"? The list is going to get long pretty quickly if we add another line every week. SpaceNut 16:49, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I think it should be removed immediately. I don't see it holding much historical significance. --GuyPerfect 16:59, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
The only use I really see the list serving is in the case where someone is asking, "When can I expect my favorite TF to be the WST?" and the answer is, "It already was the WST <X> weeks ago." Perhaps if we want to preserve those dates, it would be better to indicate in an already existing table the last time a given TF was the WST. (Maybe here or in a "Historical" section in the individual TF's main article, for example.) --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 17:33, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

What do people think? Does it make the table too crowded? SpaceNut 21:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

I personally feel that a Historical section in this article with the some of the above information in the table would be the most logical choice. A mention should be made in the Task Force article that Weekly Strike history can be found here. That said, I'm not sure it would be necessary to display any information other than the Task Force name, the last Weekly Strike Target date, and possibly the badge icon just for visual clarity. An alternate possibility would be to display the abridged version of the table I described here and additionally add the Weekly Strike Target column on the Task Force page.
One significant reason I feel that the information should at least be present in this article as well, if not only here, is that its more convenient to only have to check one article for the relevant dates, rather than both the separate Task Force and Strike Force articles, if you're interested in both Heroes and Villains.

I like tables. I like data-lists available in one centralized location if possible. To that end, I made a suggestion. The usage would be to replace the text list with tables. (I like tables.)
  • Add a new line to the bottom of the appropriate table(s) when an activity is made a strike target for the first time (e.g. when the Tin Mage TF is moved to Past, put it on a new line at the bottom)
  • Add a new line to the bottom and remove the old line when an activity has been a WST before (e.g. remove the 3/15 ITF when the 4/5 ITF is moved to Past, put the 4/5 ITF on a new line at the bottom)
That way, the default view is oldest to newest, but you can still sort by other columns if you wanted. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 01:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
That looks like a reasonable solution to me. May I offer a counter-suggestion that instead of two separate tables it be just one of the form of Date - Hero Activity - Hero Contact - Villain Activity - Villain Contact? Draeth Darkstar 03:18, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
