Talk:Main Page/schedule

Ah! This evens up the layout nicely.--Rosicrucian^Talk 22:27, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

It will still vary day-by-day depending on how many entries we have for "This Day in History," but yes. -Derik 22:42, 20 April 2009 (EDT)

Siph, adding those line breaks results in notably un-semantic HTML. -Derik 05:34, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

I have no idea what that means, other that "crams the items too close together making for ugly crushed text". --M Sipher 05:55, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Meaning that, when you put in line breaks like that, you end up with each item being in its own separate list in the code instead of all of the items being in one list in the code.

Having said that, I agree that the default list item spacing is too small... but the cure to that is tweaking the Common.css, not adding in line breaks that mess up the code. (*makes a tweak in the meantime that adds the spacing in a slightly less hacky way*) --Jeysie 14:54, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

I'm reluctant to mess witht he defauly list spacing wiki-wide lest it screw something else up. I'll save that (counter-intuitively) for a night when a lot of people are on. (So it somethign breaks, there's a greater chance someone will notice.)

Updating the Schedule

Just a note-- I feel like we shouldn't take things off the schedule until at least a day after they happen-- they make a handy link to "what's newest on the wiki." (Others may disagree I guess.)

It is gratifying to see that the schedule is being updated though! (Also useful-- I never used to be able to keep track when new issues were going to come out.) -Derik 04:04, 3 May 2009 (EDT)

Necromancy time... I'm thinking we give a two-day "grace period" for news before it gets taken off. So, we don't remove May 26th's news item until the 28th, preferably evening-ish. I mean, if we're updating everything properly, it should be on "this day in history" already on the day, but a litlte "oh, that was exactly yesterday?" would be a good reminder. Sound good? --M Sipher 16:20, 27 May 2010 (EDT)

I don't see the point, honestly. If things are properly ported to This Day, then the item is up all day to begin with, and anyone who cared probably already noted the date beforehand. The Current Releases section also helps.

Otherwise I feel like it gets too complicated to keep track of what gets moved where when. --Jeysie 16:40, 27 May 2010 (EDT)

12-18

In addition to being out of chronological order, the 12-18 entry doesn't make sense since it's a Friday, and IDW wouldn't be releasing anything that day. I haven't seen the newsletter yet, so can't confirm the actual dates for those items. - Cattleprod 00:02, 2 December 2009 (EST)

It was a typo I didn't pick up on making at the time. *sigh* Fixed. --Jeysie 08:12, 2 December 2009 (EST)
