In bug 1715600, we added "W" as a calendar week abbreviation before the week numbers in first column of multiweek and month views. Notwithstanding the bandaid fix nature of this addition, I guess we should keep things consistent: In two other spots of the UI, we are using "CW" as abbreviation for calendar week, so the day box is now the odd one out.

Actual:

  • Today Pane has CW 22
  • Main Calendar view header has CWs: 22-26
  • Day box header has W 22 (not CW 22)

Expected

  • Should use CW for 'Calendar Week' consistently everywhere

This is just a minimal fix for consistency.

In the long run, we'll want to

  • add a dedicated column for week numbers to multiweek and month views as Magnus suggested
  • remove the colon from CWs: 22-26 etc. and use en-dash () instead of hyphen (-) [1][2]
  • move this to Fluent where using a consistent abbreviation will be much easier.

Let's use CW consistently.

This does no longer apply after the recent changes from Geoff.

I don't think this would be a good change. CW is very odd to begin with...
