[edit] add categories

{{editprotected}} I would like to request the following edit: sandbox example, but then with category name "[[:Category:{{{1}}} by day]]". This will then be used to be able to check: Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:2007 by day so that editors can more easily keep an eye on the edits to these pages. These pages currently see regurly vanity additions and non-notable events added after they disappear of the main current events pages. The further back in time, the longer these edits have the tendency of flying under the radar, and we can do better. See also Portal talk:Current events#Idea_to_help_maintenance_of_the_historic_events_pages. --TheDJ (talkcontribs) 00:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hCalendar microformat

Would someone be able to assist me in adding hCalendar microformat mark-up to this template? Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 12:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

This should do the trick i think User:TheDJ/SandboxTemplate. It has only dtstart atm. You can test it here User:TheDJ/Sandbox. --TheDJ (talkcontribs) 14:08, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure how useful this is because we do not have entries for individual events, just for "all events of day ..." It might be wise to consider creating a new Current events system, where we administer all events separately. On the other hand, that will make editing a lot more difficult for the casual editors i think. --TheDJ (talkcontribs) 14:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you your "sandbox" prototype works. I agree with your latter point, but this is a step in the right direction, and will be useful in the meantime. We also need to apply class="description" to the table cell containing the list of events (as I've taken the liberty of doing in your sandbox). Please also use Category:Templates generating hCalendars. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 14:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Done. I say we put this new version into action and wait till people complain :D --TheDJ (talkcontribs) 15:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC) {{editprotected}}
Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 15:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
"and wait till people complain" - Cynic Realist! Thank you, both. Please feel free to join the microformats project. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 15:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
