:: Nothing is preventing you from calling the template by its redirect if you feel that the shorter name is better (note that, by my count [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%2F%5C%7B%5C%7Bnts%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns108=1&ns109=1&ns118=1&ns119=1&ns446=1&ns447=1&ns710=1&ns711=1&ns828=1&ns829=1&ns2300=1&ns2301=1&ns2302=1&ns2303=1 ~5000 articles] call [[Template:Number table sorting]] through its redirect [[Template:Nts]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%2F%5C%7B%5C%7Bnumber+table+sorting%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%7D&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns108=1&ns109=1&ns118=1&ns119=1&ns446=1&ns447=1&ns710=1&ns711=1&ns828=1&ns829=1&ns2300=1&ns2301=1&ns2302=1&ns2303=1 zero articles] use the full template name directly despite the template having had the longer name since 2010.

*'''Comment''' The documentation at [[Template:Dts/doc]] and perhaps elsewhere linked to there is now screwed up too, showing mixed usage of "dts" and "date table sorting". Some others have tried, and I have tried, to restore previous documentation appearance, but maybe there is more linked templates inside templates that need to be fixed to get it right again. --[[User:Doncram|Doncram]] ([[User talk:Doncram|talk]]) 18:38, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

* '''Comment''' - '''DTBSRT''' ''or'' '''DTbSrt''' - No one suggested either of these. For those who think that all TLAs (3LtrAcronyms) *must* be limited to three letters, DTS wins. For those who accepted 4 letters TLAs at some point, then graduates of SIXbit (ancient pre-EBCDIC/8-bit ASCII) would find DTBSRT (pre-UpLo) or DTbSrt reasonable, especially since the 2nd T-byte represents both daTe and Tbl/Table. {{Strikethrough|'Nuff said.}} [[User:Pi314m|Pi314m]] ([[User talk:Pi314m|talk]]) 04:15, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

::** '''Oppose''' - I'm not an admin, don't know if my vote counts, but: Clear and to the point: This is not COBOL; I'd suggest [[COBOL#Data manipulation|MOVE CORRESPONDING]]-ly. (i.e. recommendation = "Don't") [[User:Pi314m|Pi314m]] ([[User talk:Pi314m|talk]]) 04:56, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
