Why is the Name inconsistent? All the other ones are called 20xx-20xy Sevens World Series. 11cookeaw1 (talk) 08:01, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-01-27T08:01:00.000Z","author":"11cookeaw1","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-11cookeaw1-2020-01-27T08:01:00.000Z-Naming","replies":["c-Ham105-2020-01-27T08:58:00.000Z-11cookeaw1-2020-01-27T08:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi 11cookeaw1, the name of the series has changed over time.

• 2015–16 to present: World Rugby Sevens Series
• 2002–03 to 2014–15: Sevens World Series (or IRB Sevens World Series)
• 1999–2000 to 2001–02: World Sevens Series (or IRB World Sevens Series)

Looking at [1], I think there is a case for changing:

• Template:2015–16 Sevens World Series → Template:2015–16 World Rugby Sevens Series
• Template:2016–17 Sevens World Series → Template:2016–17 World Rugby Sevens Series
• Template:2017–18 Sevens World Series → Template:2017–18 World Rugby Sevens Series
• Template:2018–19 Sevens World Series → Template:2018–19 World Rugby Sevens Series

Additionally,

• Template:2019–20 Sevens World Series → Delete/Redirect due to the pre-existing Template:2019–20 World Rugby Sevens Series
