: [[YiFei]], thanks for the thoughts.

Revision as of 19:58, 1 May 2013
Request for two new fields
Can we include two new fields to include in this template?:
- Cost - with variable answers of either 'Free' or 'For a fee' (or something similar for the latter)
- Licence - same as the Template:Tl template, but for the licence under which the wiki engine software is released (if any).
Discuss please :/ Hoof Hearted • talk2HH 12:58, 12 September 2012 (PDT)
- 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#Recent changes of Wiki Engines. --YiFei | talk 18:17, 30 April 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
