...Because the Structures table has been transcluded into other articles.
Sortable headers with dates now contain data-sort-type="isoDate", given that all cells with dates are already prepended with data-sort-value parameters. Replacing "date" with "isoDate" made sorting functional (in Firefox).
All cells with data-sort-value parametres must use the full ISO date, such as:
data-sort-value="2016-01-01"
In my experience with this table, leaving even one cell with only a year, or a year and a month (without a day) into data-sort-value made the column unsortable.
As isoDate is set as the data-sort-type in row headers, then date cells should avoid data-sort-value="NA" or anything else that is not an ISO date, as textual data misplaces the row relative to other rows.
Some date values are moving targets:
For items to be completed this year, use the current date.
For items that have a projected non-current year of completion, use January 1st of that year:
data-sort-value="2017-01-01"
Past that date, rely on news outlets to learn when a project is to be complete, and change the values accordingly.
For future items with an unknown year of construction or completion, use 1 January 2100, which will position the row below all others:
data-sort-value="2100-01-01"
These are all
N/A or
TBA/
TBD items, which can variably use templates that affect cell formatting. To avoid code issues, place data-sort-value="2100-01-01"before{{N/a|TBA}} code, as in this example:
data-sort-value="2100-01-01" {{N/a|TBA}}
That's because the pipe | is not used in wikicode, as its corresponding page code is already in the {{N/a}} template.
Formatting update: In date cells with data-sort-value="2011-01-01", do not use {{
N/a}},
TBA/
TBD, or like templates, because they override the data-sort-value parameter; when sorting in ascending order from top to bottom, the 5 World Trade Center row with the {{
N/a}} tag in the "Date completed" cell is placed to top of the table, when it should be at the bottom. For this reason, I've created a similar-looking manual style for that particular cell with an added in-code comment asking not to use the {{
N/a}} template. -Mardus /

I'm rereading the image description and nowhere does it say that the images are "released to Wikipedia". For the 2WTC image, the description reads:
Released by the developer to promote his/her product. This image is a promotional image from Silverstein Properties.
For the 5WTC image, the description reads:
Released by the architect to promote his/her product.
Neither description states that the images are released specifically to Wikipedia and/or released from copyright. And if they're actually released in the way that you describe, they'd have OTRS tickets. This doesn't appear to be the case.
Obviously, the images are "released" in the general sense - why would an architect create a rendering of a building and not release it to the public? That doesn't mean they're not copyrighted images. As long as they're licensed as non-free images,
WP:NFTABLE still applies.

Table width upates
In
World Trade Center (2001–present)#Structures, I've removed paddings from cells containing images, thereby reducing overall table width a little bit. Using the Firefox web inspector (in Windows xp), I got the following table widths for optimal viewing —
In the desktop version, the table is viewable at these minimum viewport widths:
802px with the Monobook skin
859px with the Vector skin.
As the Monobook skin is non-default, it can be selected in user preferences, and applies only when logged in. With it, the desktop version of the table is thus viewable at 800x600px screen resolutions, or with displays that have the same pixel width.
In the mobile version, the minimum viewport width must be:
717 pixels with the Minerva skin.
This should acommodate mobile screens that have the minimum width or height that exceeds this pixel width.
The upside with the mobile site is, that tables can be scrolled, or, rather, swiped from right to left, so I assume a working overflow rule.
As it is, the default mobile skin is called Minerva. I don't know, if there are any other mobile Wikipedia skins than that. -Mardus /

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/iconic - "of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon, widely recognized" - "an icon" - "a very famous person or thing considered as representing a set of beliefs or a way of life" - the building isn't actually famous, the event and the previous building were famous, new generations don't know anything about the building.

Oppose. Here's a list why:
epicgenius (
talk) 00:02, 25 February 2018 (UTC)reply
The premise for this entire RM is false. The nominator said that the current title includes a defining reference to an act of terrorism. The article is about a building and the offices contained within the building, has actually very little relevance to terrorism, other than an historical reason for existence. No, it is a building complex. And the entire reason why this complex exists is because of the 9/11 attacks. Of course the act of terrorism is going to be mentioned here, because if 9/11 didn't happen, this complex wouldn't exist.
The former WTC was also in the U.S. and there were also dozens of current world trade centers in the U.S. (See
WP:PRECISE)
This doesn't make things any clearer, compared to if the disambiguator was "New York City". Generally we disambiguate to as precise as possible, and we can do that here. (See WP:PRECISE again)
As per Acroterion's above reasoning, no one has ever called this the "United States World Trade Center". (See
WP:COMMONNAME)
The current titles were decided on in the article splitting discussion from 2015. (See
Talk:World Trade Center)
The 1973-2001 article should not be moved, either. It's currently a GA nominee and needs to be stable, and the current title is suitable.
This is just a solution looking for a problem. I suggest that someone uninvolved close this nomination as soon as possible. Obviously, if a renaming discussion is to be held, it needs to be discussed in a much more open format, such as an RFC.

The current description doesn't represent the de facto situation in reality. The current title mis-represents the complex in New York as the only, the most important. WP.COMMONNAME is not a governmental law or rule of physics, the policy could be ignored in favour of an actual title representing the reality of the buildings of the World Trade Centers Association.

Yes, but the NYC WTC is the most important. I think you're confusing
policy with
guidelines, though. You cannot ignore policy (or you can, but it wouldn't work in your favor). Note this sentence in particular: Policies are standards that all users should normally follow - bolded for emphasis, so you don't get the idea that it's prudent to ignore policy as you have suggested.

It was the ITM Building before it became the NO WTC in the 1980s, following the trend established by the WTC in New York. How is the WTC in New York not the most important? Again, I see no pressing issue that this proposal constructively addresses to make the topic more clear to the encyclopedia user. Acroterion(talk) 21:28, 25 February 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose. Still confusing with
World Trade Center (1973–2001). While there may be other World Trade Centers, the one in NYC is the most notable. Normally that would be a reason to support (and I would have done so if this page were still at the title
World Trade Center). However, the former WTC and the current WTC can themselves be confused, and the article on the former WTC receives far more views than the current WTC's article. Both WTCs are much more notable than any other WTC, as
this link shows. If you wanted to rename anything to "World Trade Center (New York)" or something similar, it should be the 1973-2001 article that is renamed. But don't do it now, because that article is currently undergoing a Good Article review and a requested move would be disruptive.
epicgenius (

"NYC is the most notable" - but how this is justification for this particular center be The center or a center, without mentioning New York. The organisation doesn't distinguish their own trade center in New York as being the center for all the organisation, it isn't possible anyone else could describe, their organisation, whether any individual would prefer one description against another - the association haven't organised their organisation to show The World Trade Center or World Trade Center, but for some reason users here feel they know it is the center (not a center).
http://wtccentralpa.org/what-is-a-world-trade-center/ shows the World Trade centers Association - "The World Trade Centers Association, headquartered in New York City, is the umbrella organization for over 330 World Trade Centers in more than 100 countries" within this association, New York has a world trade center within the city. "the former WTC and the current WTC can themselves be confused" is no reason what-so-ever as both might just have the years included in the title (as they are now) plus the addition as I'm suggesting.

please see also -
World Trade Center, New York. I think the fact of the World Trade center being named as such, is firstly, because it is the second center, and the most famous due to New York, and people didn't know about New Orleans, or the other centers - but the name is a
misnomer - "Misnomer" does not mean "misunderstanding" or "popular misconception",[1] and many misnomers remain in legitimate use (that is, being a misnomer does not always make a name incorrect).
https://clickamericana.com/media/newspapers/the-new-twin-towers-of-the-world-trade-center-open-1973.
https://www.wtc.com/ does show this description, but this doesn't necessarily indicate the article might be titled in the same way, at least because , is a misnomer.
23h112e (

"the former WTC and the current WTC can themselves be confused" is no reason what-so-ever is irrelevant to my argument. What I actually said is the article on the former WTC receives far more views than the current WTC's article, so it is the other article that should be moved, if push comes to shove.Your other points don't make sense, but I'll go with them anyway. Just because the WTCA is headquartered somewhere doesn't mean that "World Trade Center" should be the title of the headquarters' article. We call things by their common names, regardless of whether it's technically a misnomer.And what is wrong with having just the years in the title? Don't presume that readers can't tell between "the World Trade Center" that has been in existence before 2001, and the WTC afterward. This is a world-famous icon; ask anyone where the "World Trade Center" is, and half the time, it'll be the one in NYC. I don't know what you mean by but how this is justification for this particular center be The center, but this is the most popular World Trade Center out there. OK, second-most-popular, but
WP:COMMONNAME applies here. Don't make a name longer and more confusing because you think a few people may be confused.

@
CapLiber: What's wrong with including Brookfield Place in the caption? I'd think that including the caption would clarify that Brookfield Place isn't in WTC especially for readers who aren't from the NYC area. By contrast, excluding Brookfield Place might insinuate that Brookfield Place is part of WTC, or at the very least, make readers confused about what it is.

Image change
The main image on this page as of October 10, 2021 has three issues with it.
1. 4 WTC and 5 WTC (site) are not visible in the picture.
2. 3 WTC was not complete when this picture was taken (in 2016). It was completed in 2018.
3. This is based on issue 1. It is inconsistent with
World Trade Center (1973-2001) because the image over there has all 7 building partially visible.
To fix these issues, there should be an updated picture from late 2018 - 2021 which partially shows all 4 completed buildings and 2 building sites.
I don’t know all the copyright stuff, so can somebody else do it for me?

It is not false consistencey, the building was 'under Construction'. The first building officialy opened in 2006. This is why you see buildings on Wikipedia use the opening date rather than the construction or groundbreaking date in their title. --

Like Acroterion said, this is a fairly unique case since the previous complex was suddenly destroyed. Given that, the complex did not only start in 2006 when the first building was completed. The relevant dates of the complex also include the planning and construction; the planning began as soon as 9/11 happened, presumably, even though work didn't actually start until months afterward.For a similar reason,
a previous move request for this page in 2017 failed.
The original World Trade Center work and planning began in the 1960s, The complex only officialy opened in 1973. That's why if you visit
World Trade Center (1973–2001) you can see they use that year in the title. And not 1968 as the construction date, or 1966 as the groundbreaking date. --

Yes, we know. Epicgenius has addressed those issues, as have I. This is a unique case. Acroterion(talk) 02:56, 28 November 2021 (UTC)reply
Oppose move. As stated above, this is a unique case, and Aaron106's three disruptive moves have made it unlikely they're acting in good faith on the matter. O.N.R.(talk) 06:21, 28 November 2021 (UTC)reply
I am acting in good faith, I didn't know about the 'requested move' feature before --

Oppose – the article is about events starting in 2001.

So does other building page article include the events starting in the years before. It's not a valid point. --

Oppose: This article is not just about the building itself but also contains significant information about the background and construction. Therefore, as the article contains a significant amount of information starting in 2001, the current name should remain. --

Request
In the first sentence of the article, the World Trade Center is described as being located "in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, U.S." This is incorrect. "Lower Manhattan" is not a neighborhood, but is a vast swath of Manhattan south of 14th Street. There are many neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan, including the Financial District, the home of the World Trade Center.
In the article "World Trade Center (1973–2001)", a better phrase is used, and describes the location as "in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States." This writing is much more accurate. Could we have that same wording used in this article?
