Date
Glad to see dates being used. I added Help:Dates article and new Template:Event Date...this new template appears to work with your February 23 article. Please let me know otherwise. (found a similar template - Template:Date - last updated in 2012. I was not sure what it did, other than showing today's date, so left as-is.) I lost interest in formatting additional dates due to save issues - I find this CAPTCHA glitchy...at times shows over 10x or requires log out/in to save. (I use Firefox, so maybe that is the issue with this particular CAOTCHA). Rather then manually adding days, is it possible to code a bot which can create and format the remaining 300+ days?Jmh6d (talk) 08:44, 26 February 2019 (EST)
- Thanks for picking up the ball on the dates - I'm interested in getting the chronology function to work, but I'm not much of a tech person. I'm not sure what you mean about the issue with CAPTCHA but I'll loop in some of the more tech-focused people. Thanks for all you're doing! --Seantubbs (talk) 11:26, 26 February 2019 (EST)
- Hey all and yes thanks for all your edits! I've turned off the ReCaptcha when creating a new article (I think that's what is being triggered?) in case that helps, but Rory might have better ideas for how to automate a bot to do this for us.

Categories
Is there a way to display a list of ALL of the active categories and subcategories to choose from? Jmh6d (talk) 01:03, 9 February 2019 (EST)
- Yes - check here for a special page on categories, which should list all of them. There are other "special pages" too but let's start with that one? --Seantubbs (talk) 09:52, 9 February 2019 (EST)
Tasklist

Seminar?
Looks like you're getting lots of new contributors, which is great. One thing that they added a ton of, if you can remind them, is the {{DEFAULTSORT:LAST,FIRST}} without subbing the actual names. We have jillions of those, now. Something you should consider adding to the training. B.S. Lawrence 13:56, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
This was my first training session on this, so it's a learning curve for me, definitely. I'm going through and patrolling and fixing all the mistakes and using the time to polish up the empty entries a little. Really appreciate the organizational work you're doing and trying my best to learn from you! --Seantubbs 13:58, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
References
Hey Seantubbs, one thing that I've noticed (maybe it's only on the older pages?) is that you've added some references that go to a home page rather than to the actual reference. See the changes I just made on the Dominion Development Resources page: referencing /projects rather than the DDR home page. Another (less clear due to volume of changes) example was on Terry W. Hawkins re:the loper archive references. When possible, it'll make reference checking much easier if you include the link containing the reference content. Thanks! -- B.S.

Thanks for your welcome
