[00:17:45] is there any regular forced re-parsing of wiki pages on a scheduled basis? [01:37:27] I think people run null edit bots ocassionally [02:21:07] greetz. do we have any lua hax0rs here who wanna review a minor update to a template? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Timeline_of_release_years&diff=next&oldid=969360726&diffmode=source [02:21:15] welcome back to the party, one and all [02:23:08] does anybody know of a timeline template for just a simple tick for each year, on a vertical line? similar to {{Timeline_of_release_years}} but without the blank space for empty years? [02:23:39] that's what they're trying to do on there but .... i guess that template just NEEDS to have a space that says "nothing happened" on its timelines. [02:23:56] that's kinda antithetical to what a timeline is lol [02:24:37] How much will you pay me if I mock one up in Visio, dtm [02:24:41] i guess it's to head off the sassy reader from thinking "look at these lazy editors, they dont even know what happened in these years, but maybe something did" [02:24:44] Darren-M: :-o [02:25:04] Darren-M: i would pay you to not use visio [02:25:14] oNE DOLLAR! [02:25:19] I'm down with that too. [02:25:21] Paypal me? [02:25:32] okay who else isn't using visio? line em up [02:25:43] Hah [02:25:50] I use it for some project management stuff for work, that's about it. [02:25:53] monopoly-free crew 4 lyfe \o/ [02:26:16] alrighty then [02:27:13] I don't even know what the free alternatives are tbf, I spent ages looking for something that would do gantt charts for a volunteer project and ultimately gave up and just did it in Excel :( [04:23:50] Darren-M: ha. yeah i'm glad i dont have to deal with all that anymore ;) [06:06:41] Darren-M: there are several options to produce gantt charts packaged in Fedora (and I suppose also Ubuntu). Usually I just install one when I need it so I always forget the names. [06:07:18] But yes, many end up just using a spreadsheet (LibreOffice!). [07:04:13] Nemo_bis: spreadsheets are ALL! [13:58:32] Nemo_bis: I'm a Windows boy unfortunately, 90% of the options there seem to be freemium [14:22:55] Darren-M: Windows is very hard [14:31:30] In general? :p [14:31:44] But nah it wasn't actually a query I needed help with, I just use it through work when I need it [14:32:06] It was more of a tongue-in-cheek way to assist dtm with their never-ending task to get a timeline [15:49:35] [[Tech]]; 78.156.232.156; /* Help */ new section; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=20311146&oldid=20306811&rcid=15959547 [15:52:06] [[Tech]]; Darren-M; Undo revision 20311146 by [[Special:Contributions/78.156.232.156|78.156.232.156]] ([[User talk:78.156.232.156|talk]]) Wrong place - this request needs to be made on the talk page of the article you want to be edited.; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=20311148&oldid=20311146&rcid=15959551 [18:08:59] Nemo_bis: Yes.
