Deprecated Features and the Wiki

[slime]

I was thinking just manually reorganizing the list pages so data is in several tables instead of one. Again, not the best solution, but maybe a step forward.

The main reason why the wiki has been like it is for years is because SMW doesn't seem to have a way to separate pages which have no 'removed in' information into their own list.

Could we add a "current" (or "notremoved" or whatever) to the removedin info? Change the template so no message shows for "current" pages, and add the template to every page that doesn't have it yet. Might be a bit of work, but it's not very complicated, just look for pages on the lists that don't have removedin and add the template.

add the template to every page that doesn't have it yet.

That should work, yes.

On the other hand, that user script airstruck wrote, seemed really promising, if the bugs were to be fixed, we could just deploy it as part of the theme.

bugs

I think there was just some unhandled template usage (newin/oldin before dictionary lists, and another different template). Storing user's installed version in a cookie would be another nice feature. There shouldn't be any bugs with the stuff that's already handled, though. If there are, let me know and I'll fix them.

theme

Who would be in charge of making that decision? I'd be willing to finish the script if it would be added to the theme. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble for a userscript.

TheLinx is probably the right person for the job, though I could do it too, if needed.
