Special:Diff/6286742 @TheDJ be sure to make these dates translatable.
Template talk:MediaWiki News/Archive 2
Appearance
I get it that the event already took place. I do not see much reason to add it now. It could/should have been added earlier, indeed.
The external link icon should be removed. It's also present in the protected News page.
We're working on it, see phab:T283900.
Links to lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/* are broken. Maybe it caused by mailman 3 migration.
I think it might be mid-migration, or might have stopped half-way?
Currently for me, in Template:MediaWiki_News:
- the links in the top half (and down to early 2012) all redirect to Mailman 3 correctly,
- the link for "2012-02-29" leads to a 404 error
- the links below that all go to Mailman 2.
If this hasn't changed a few hours from now, we can ping user:legoktm
That 404 is a bad link, I checked on the server and 058456.html is actually in March. So most likely someone tampered with the archives, renumbering them, and that link has been broken ever since.
When I written this topic, even the newest link(https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2021-April/000273.html) is broken but now it is healthy... 🤔
Thank you to the people behind the scenes!
More info?
I think her or he means that dates need to be translatable. I also believe that they should be translatable. I was just too fatigued to report or ask for it.
I just decided that we would use a single format. If we translate them, we will need to create a common template, hmm.
We can also use #time for them: {{#time:d xg Y|1988-02-28|de}}
- 28 Februars 1988. With {{CURRENTCONTENTLANGUAGE}}
in third parameter.
Or perhaps #dateformat from Help:Magic words#Formatting is what we want here? E.g. {{#dateformat:2020-09-25}}
becomes 2020-09-25 -- Would that work better, or break somehow in translated pages? I'm unclear on the distinction between that and Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time...
I have a suspicion that it is using the interface language, not the content language.
Ah, right. I also just remembered that we use #time in Tech News every week. E.g. {{#time:<tvar|defaultformat>j xg</>|<tvar|date2>2020-09-30</>|<tvar|format_language_code>{{TRANSLATIONLANGUAGE}}</>}}
so something like that is possibly what is needed here? (e.g. m:Tech/News/2020/39)
Hmm, yes, maybe that makes sense.
Hi, according to this edit the remote hackathon is ends on May 10th instead of 11th, please fix the date under "Recent news". Thanks
Thanks for the pointer. The duration was amended on the template in the meantime.
This one does not provide a feed or am I just too stupid to find it which is indeed within the range of possibilities.
I have given up on this blog.
The news says it is in Daly City, California but when you follow the link it says the conference will be in Sandusky, Ohio. Can this be corrected?
done. thanks for pointing it out
"2019-06-07" --> "2019-10-15"
@ToBeFree: Good catch. Fixed now.
Thanks to @Cudo29 for spotting.
You are welcome.
