Discussion

I'm not really sure what to say here in the discussion, but THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Anomie!! Reywas92 ^Talk 16:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The bot appears to be cleaning up details for decisions already made in the community about how to handle single day page moves, so there's not much to say. Bot operator communicates well with the community and codes well. No concerns, imo. --69.225.3.198 (talk) 20:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at the some of the more "modern" ones, they use e.g. {{Portal:Current events/DateHeader2|2007|12|27}}. Is this something the bot should add? - Jarry1250 ^{[Humorous? Discuss.]} 17:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean. Yesterday was Portal:Current events/2009 November 8. Reywas92 ^Talk 17:14, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So that includes the line {{Portal:Current events/DateHeader2|2009|11|8}} and ends with |}, but the ones Anomie has transferred are missing that line at source. Is this OK? - Jarry1250 ^{[Humorous? Discuss.]} 17:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. That's perfectly fine if these don't have that. It just adds the header and border, which is already too inconsistent for the earlier years and would change the month page more than necessary. Reywas92 ^Talk 20:39, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
