Template talk:Wikification progress

message: How frequently does this chart need to be updated?  Is our usual method of once daily good enough or should we embrace this "whenever I see the number change in a month" update?   Metros232 12:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that once or twice a day (maybe even 3 times) is fine.  I don't see the need for a constant "I've wikified 2 articles, must now update the chart" though. It seems to waste time, which could be spent wikifying a third article, or getting more beer/coffee :) -Ladybirdintheuk 13:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Color Scheme

message: After over two weeks of this...I'm wondering what people think of updating it every...2 hours with one edit per month.  I'm feeling it's not very useful.  I like being able to track our total progress and get a better view of how much we go up or down in a day.  Any one have thoughts?  Metros232 23:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  And Again, Updates 

message: Does anyone else feel that the template is becoming slightly too large to be useful in its current format? Going on current trends, it looks as if we'll end up with over 12 month's worth of "Wikify by date" backlogs by about February or March in 2008. Currently there's a lot of empty space on the template and the bars are getting smaller. I doubt that the template was originally designed for such a large backlog.
I'm asking because Dvandersluis has asked for a detailed method for updating this template, in preparation for designing a bot that could update it automatically. It'll take him a while to get it done and get bot approval, and I'd hate for him to program a bot for this template, only to find out that the template is being changed. I should get back to him in a week or two. Any thoughts? – Liveste (talk) 06:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Change template format? 

message: Wow, I've procrastinated on this! (Okay, I forgot all about it. In any case, I think I owe Dvandersluis an apology.) But now that we have two March categories in the backlog, I think it's time to change its format. I tried experimenting with the graphical layout but got nowhere. Instead, I'd like to see the template changed into a table, which would be much easier to update – although it wouldn't be as appealing, perhaps. An example code is as below, following :Category:Cleanup by month.
