@danieljames-dj you can probably confirm if my understanding of the issue is correct here
This is unfortunately a political war and mostly my fault. I've tried to convince WA(P)C (ie the Appeals people) that reusing an old, previously existing abbreviation "WAC" would be a terrible idea for oh so many reasons, but they keep insisting that "Nothing has broken yet, so we're fine".
The reason why we internally use wapc
is that I deemed this the smart (because collision-free) abbreviation way before the mailing list or any internal team communication was formally established.
Unfortunately, there's not much I can do except telling them "I told you so" as soon as some unpleasant crash or leak occurs in the future because of this. But eh, let's change it to WAC if they insist on it so much.
A somewhat funny alternative would be to add i18n keys for the acronyms for the team names
funny alternative
You have a very interesting humor

This appears to be because of TeamsCommitteesCouncils/index.js:79
It isn't clear to me where
friendly_id
is coming from, but it looks like it is stored aswapc
in the code (I assume we're doing this to distinguish between old-WAC and WAPC) - because there's a difference between the software id and the public id, we can't just upcase the internal id.
