@Kjerish: I think the regular TOC was more accessible than the small horizontal TOC you replaced it with. Would you consider reverting? — JFG talk 20:10, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- @JFG: Done. Do you think we could move Timeline of the Trump presidency, 2017 Q1 back to Timeline of the presidency of Donald Trump, 2017 Q1? Then it would look good in sorting/vertical listing with other presidents, and also not clash with presidents with the same last names, for example:
- Timeline of the presidency of George W. Bush, 2001 Q1
- Timeline of the presidency of George H. W. Bush, 1989 Q1
- Timeline of the presidency of Donald Trump, 2017 Q1
- Thanks! Regarding the page names, I think we should rather shorten the other ones, because long names are hard to distinguish in search results (try typing "Timeline of the presidency" in the Wikipedia search box). I would suggest Timeline of the Obama presidency, 2009, Timeline of the G.W. Bush presidency, etc. But this should go to a formal move request process. — JFG talk 22:21, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- @JFG: I added redirects for the long versions. Why not instead facilitate search using redirects with the short version? — Kjerish (talk) 02:29, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

A question about format.
editi'm not a big wikipedia user, and have never edited anything before so please accept my ignorance if i'm doing this wrong.
My question is in regards to the differences between President Obama's timeline and President Trump's.
On Obama's every line starts:
President Obama speaks
President Obama visits
President Obama appears
and so on. While for Trump there are much greater variation.
The Trump administration suspends
Four million people around
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer
Vice President Pence administers
Why the disparity? Shouldn't the goal be to duplicate both the information provided as well as the template in which it is given? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.75.134.242 (talk) 11:38, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
- I see no problem with either, as long the information is accurate, relevant, noteworthy and simple to understand. Your comment assumes that both presidencies may be best understood using the same format, despite the two presidencies being radically different from one another. Perhaps there is greater "variation" for the Trump timeline because his presidency is much more "varied" than other presidencies. Cpaaoi (talk) 04:20, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
