On the group page, some groups are listed with their Name, and some with the Full Name. This creates a ugly overview, because of random usage of capitals in some groups and some being listed as the url slug. Example Full Name versus Name (Name would be better named as ‘slug’?) Group 1: example-group Group 2: Example group

[image] techAPJ: I see in that commit that we used to show the group title as well in group list page, now we do not. So it makes sense to always group full name even when title is same? Done in: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/8237e0e0012ede79a4467d40410ee2358893e727

How is this a bug? Shouldn’t staff edit the group names to make them consistent?

Shows the same for normal users. What I am saying is that even if I have setup a Full Name, I still see some groups with the slug on the group list instead of the Full Name I set up.

I find this inconsistent as well: [image] Groups: If standard title = full title then the ID gets shown on /groups Bug [image] leads to [image] I would expect to see the full title, but maybe this is expected behaviour?

This should be unrelated x but what is the value of the " prioritize username in ux" site setting? Does changing it change anything?

[image] pfaffman: Does changing it change anything? It was turned on, turning it off made no difference.

I think I may be experiencing the same bug. See here: [image] My custom groups don’t reflect the full name that I specified. For example, see the First Order custom group: [image] Is there an additional setting I had missed somewhere along the way?

I tried this as well and it does not resolve the issue. I still only get the slug names, not the full names, for my custom groups.

I think consistency should win here: If we are showing this on the group page: [image] We should show a similar rendered block on the group list page for sure. @techAPJ can you take this? I think the was we render on the “show” page depends on a site setting, so you would have to check that.

Thanks, @sam! Should we expect an update from @techAPJ here or should we be keeping a lookout for something else?
