April 5 already passed

April 5 already passed

Wikipedia still hasn't used Vector as the default!

Commons is april 5, wikipedia is end of april.

Bawolff 05:04, 15 April 2010

So the article is wrong :(

Benny the mascot (talk)05:05, 15 April 2010

yeah, which is kind of sad considering its essentially about us. Should we put a correction note? (announcement was http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2010/03/the-change-in-interface-is-coming/ )

Bawolff 05:11, 15 April 2010

No. It ain't our fault they can't get their shit together.

We probably should. What is it? {{correction}}?

hmmm...well it seems that the sources were properly summarized. See [1]. I'm not exactly sure what to do when the sources themselves turn out to be wrong after the fact

Benny the mascot (talk)05:19, 15 April 2010

Tell the source they failed and correct ourselves?

Mikemoral♪♫05:21, 15 April 2010

Not necessarily: maybe the original date was April 5 and then got postponed???

Benny the mascot (talk)05:23, 15 April 2010

The blog post was published on March 25; the article March 28.

Mikemoral♪♫05:25, 15 April 2010

Shoot...I didn't see that. The correction is in order then, yes?

Benny the mascot (talk)05:26, 15 April 2010

I'll go ahead and do so.

And wouldn't lqt be great for the other talk namepsaces?

Mikemoral♪♫05:28, 15 April 2010

I personally don't like lqt for normal talk namespaces, i find it works better for conversation where there isn't an explicit goal, but thats just me. We can probably enable it on other talk namespaces using {{#useliquidthreads}}.

Bawolff 05:38, 15 April 2010

It doesn't work. I tried on my talk page.

Mikemoral♪♫05:41, 15 April 2010

Sorry I lied, I just looked up the configuration settings [1] (wmgLQTUserControlNamespaces being the relevent line) only works on namespace 102 (comments).

Bawolff 06:30, 15 April 2010

Can we poke someone to enable the user talk namespace?

Bleh, that banner looks hideous at the top.

Really for stories such as these, we should be reading our own announcements
