(RC* bugs, links and categories.)
Line 2:
:Interesting! How is one expected to find these pages? Are they automatically linked from the language template? How about a [[:Category:Unimplemented tasks]] to index them all? (I was expecting this kind of feature to be an extension to WikiMedia itself, accessed dynamically as a [[Special:SpecialPages|special page]].) --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 15:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:Bug: you should include the Category:RC* tasks with a leading ':' to avoid putting these pages into the category.
:: There's another bug there, too. The RC* tasks show up in every list, regardless of whether or not they've actually been solved there. That last problem can be fixed by putting the task category in the language category, but I'll work on the unintentional inclusion into the RC* categories once we settle on what day of the week to actually do the updates; The process of retrieving the data adds a pretty significant load to the server. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 17:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:Personally, I wouldn't put these pages into each language category. Instead link explicitly from the {language} template. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 15:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
::Agreed. A straight link would be better because putting them in the categories disrupts the count of tasks in the categories. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 16:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
::: Add the appropriate link to [[Template:Language]], and remove it from [[Template:unimpl_header]]. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 17:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:Useful! But maybe putting a "last update" date could help understanding how recent the list is. --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 17:06, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
::I think there's a wiki variable you can add to [[Template:unimpl_header]] for that. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 17:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
