Request for two new fields
Can we include two new fields to include in this template?: Discuss please :/ Hoof Hearted • talk2HH 12:58, 12 September 2012 (PDT)
 * 1) Cost - with variable answers of either 'Free' or 'For a fee' (or something similar for the latter)
 * 2) Licence - same as the  template, but for the licence under which the wiki engine software is released (if any).
 * sure! MarkDilley

RecentChanges vs Changes / Timeline / Roadmap
Sean, you say this template is specifically for software - 'RecentChanges' isn't normal terminology for software - changelog or roadmap is - first, we aren't talking about normal terminology for software, we are talking about wiki software. Secondly, I just sampled ten in the category and most of them were RecentChanges - one was a timeline, one was a text file and 3 were unavailable. I think for consistency, in this wiki about wiki, wiki people and wiki ideas ... we stick with wiki terminology. MarkDilley
 * I suggested it. See User talk:Hoof Hearted. --YiFei | talk 18:17, 30 April 2013 (PDT)
 * OK, I only suggested 'changes' purely as a way to differentiate from RecentChanges on wikis. The hidden text in the boilerplate indicates that we can use changelog, roadmap and the likes.  I know you are very keen on preserving the history of wikis (and I've no intention of trying to change the main wiki template - that is one battle I'd loose at the first draw!).  I just think we need to show difference between wiki sites - ie, Template:Wiki, and wiki software, ie, Template:Wiki engine.  My other reason for changing this template is to anticpate using a new set of structured data on the Wiki engine software.  Finally, Mark, your sampling is a little premature - this particular change has only been up-and-running for a day or two! :ppp  Best :)))  Sean, aka Hoof Hearted  • Admin • talk2HH 08:20, 1 May 2013 (PDT)
 * YiFei, thanks for the thoughts. I am fine with change, but when I sample, not prematurely as you suggest, many of the pages were RecentChanges... how can we accommodate that as well as changelog / others? Can we use a variable somehow? I am loving the idea of introducing new things here!! LOVE IT! :-)  Best, MarkDilley
