Well i listed maximum number of templates which needs review(few are still left) by Rajko and other senior members of openSUSE Wiki .As Rajko is busy now a days with experimenting and other stuffs.So it would take a bit time , but will be completed soon :) . And now Remi (Spyhawk) is actively taking care of the templates at the same time .!
Thanks for the update. I talked to Spyhawk by myself on IRC and I'm really looking forward to the results. Is there an approx. ETA? May you please notify the team when finished with this effort?
Well i am not sure about an approx ETA (most probably a week or so, though not sure).As it is constant process .And requires very much of reviewing work and all similar stuffs.So it would take time. But will surely notify when its done (any one of the concerned one can do this) :)
Hi,
About the Flaggrev : It seems to be the way to go :)
I'm on my way reviewing what Rajko provided, but it seems it actually is, yes. Will provide more feedback later.
About the Templates : It a total mess :) With Rajko and Shayon, we had a look at the 200+ different templates available, cleaned bunch of articles and marked dozen of useless or duplicate templates for deletion. There is more work to come, but at the present state, the following wiki pages
- [[Template]] regroups the templates that are really useful and that shouldn't be deleted
- [[Daily_templates]] regroups the main tags that will be used for article review/writing style policy and (more to come here)
This looks very good and exactly what I thought of actually. Thanks for the efforts so far. I'm looking forward for the rest of it - good progress!
I believe it is impossible to entirely clean the actual wiki on a short term (as this implies to rewrite/change tags on hundreds of pages), but we can start the new wiki with the already "checked" templates. We will need to rewrite some pages to assure a consistent visual style, but hopefully we won't need to change the irrelevant pages that won't be transferred in the new wiki anyway. Also, if a template reveals itself to be essential when we proofread the new wiki, we can add it on the "checked template" list.
That's perfectly fine and desired that way. We'll assure a consistent visual style for transferred articles and start the new wiki with "checked" templates. No worries about "irrelevant pages": we'll go for Henne's 3rd option "3. Start the layout/strucute from scratch on a new wiki instance and copy only the content we want." when creating the new wiki instance and transfer only the content we actually want.
To summarize, it's difficult to clean the actual wiki, but we'll be able to start the new wiki with selected template in a few days at the latest. We still need to work a bit on the visual appearance of some templates thus.
Thanks again for all the man-power that goes into this effort - it's much appreciated and very valuable work. Best, R

R.
