Talk:Combinations

We should stop permeating this ever-growing column of "Expired" and just change the color to red instead
As expressed in my recent edit's note: the following wonderful idea is not respected by anyone: "Codes should use red font for the expiration date for those which have already expired." Let us make an effort to preserve expiration dates instead of deleting/overwriting them with "Expired". That word carries infinitely less information than a red-colored date would. If we took the effort to note when codes will expire, then let us keep these expiration dates intact forever. A user could quickly establish an expected validity / lifespan of future codes from preserved expiration dates. Thanks, 3ICE (talk) 19:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * This request has been fulfilled a while ago. Most expired codes now have their expiration date preserved. Thank you. 3ICE (talk) 10:24, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Date format
I was thinking, shouldn't the format for the dates be changed to year-month-day yyyy-mm-dd so that codes can be properly sorted by date? VwertIX (talk) 17:41, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

I am in favor of this, especially as we basically move the fandom page over, who uses the yyyy-mm-dd currently. Theoretically this can be done by an invisible sort by attribute which would look somehing like | 21st november (sort 20201121), but is imo less user-friendly if an editable by everyone table is to be achieved. ☃ Kyōdō  14:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Removing Expired Combinations
I believe that it is in our best interest to remove expired combinations and potentially redesign the table. I know that it goes against what we have been doing all along, but it seems appropriate with the constant stream of combinations every week. Most combinations are random anyway and likely wouldn't be of any use to anyone. See Combinations on Fandom for example. Thunder 2700 (talk) 08:10, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

I agree. Potentially one could do a seperate article with expired codes, but especially given the amount of codes nowadays I hardly think it's appropriate. In doubt codes could always be checked in the page history. ☃ Kyōdō  14:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

I did some overhaul of the article, also trying to match a bit more of the old fandom one, and I removed the rule. If anyone has another proposal how to deal with expired codes, speak up. ☃ Kyōdō  02:05, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
