Do it in the Valorant wiki as a pilot Given that no |title= was provided (always use |title= if provided.

There are minimum 4 people in the table
If everyone in the table has a leave date within 2 weeks of eachother (max distance)
If the criteria is fulfilled, use Former Squad
Otherwise use Former Players (just Former Player if there's one person in the table).

Wolfram (Discord) is the requestor

This would involve changing the parsing logic. I would first like to get consensus on what we want across wikis.

from a sc2 perspective it is the same we have no real squads it is more a collection of players so for us it is irrelevant if the header says Former players or Former squad if we want some business logic for it then for sc2 we would overwrite it to have the same display in both cases

The current behaviour was inspired by several wikis so there definitely used to be inconsistency on this.

Many wikis have two former Templates in the old system For example on Apex:

https://liquipedia.net/apexlegends/index.php?title=Template:FormerPlayers&action=edit & https://liquipedia.net/apexlegends/index.php?title=Template:FormerSquad&action=edit

With the only real difference being the default title.

Doing this in the Custom is fairly easy, and at least can be used to POC it (eg. on Valorant).
