Tidying up
I want to keep track of work done and to-do here.
I hope that classes/instructors will arrange these things ASAP:
- Create class tags or make them standard (include categories in the code, "inprogress" in the name, and end date as a parameter).
- Create class attribution templates, and
But most other tasks I can do with the bot:
Categories and templates to be processed:
- {{305inprogress}}
- {{Projectinprogress}}
- {{MECH370}}
- {{IDDSinprogress}}
- then look up Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Project_pages_in_progress for pages I missed.
- finally, use the bot to look for occurrences of "{{...inprogress...}}".
- Check where category tags are used instead of templates:
- Category:PH261
- Check Category:Coursework & Category:Queens University, Kingston for others.
Any other questions about the bot work, please ask on my bot's talk page: User talk:ChriswaterguyBot - you're also free to ask anything on my own talk page. --Chriswaterguy 17:45, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Informative class names?
Should there be a standard format for class names, e.g. mentioning which year or semester? If I see that a person or project is in "321 Chemistry" for example, I don't know whether that's a current or past class (or more likely unspecified).
How about 321 Chemistry Spring 2009, for example? Then that could be a subcategory of 321 Chemistry, which is a subcategory of "Smithville University". (Although using a season e.g. spring only makes sense when you know whether the class was in the northern or southern hemisphere, I can't think of another concise way of ]describing a class...)
To be fully informative it would need to be something like "Smithville University 321 Chemistry February-July 2009" for example, but I'm looking for more concise ways. Ideas? --Chriswaterguy 01:03, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
