Randomization Seeds
So one other template we might want to consider for use as a randomization seed would be :{{CurrentGitRevision}}. It definitely seems to update regularly, though there are likely still concerns with caching. Things like NUMBEROFARTICLES and NUMBEROFPAGES will stop updating (or slow down significantly) once we complete generating title pages.
- {{CurrentGitRevision}} should already trigger page refreshes anyways since all pages call it from version compatibility, so using it as a seed shouldn't change behavior from how it is currently at all. - Xerxes (talk) 08:32, 29 January 2018 (CET)
- It will likely need a regex to purge out the hyphen and period though. Kolano (talk) 08:36, 29 January 2018 (CET)
- PAGES:R picks up even redirect and other pages while ARTICLES:R only focuses on number of article pages. The PAGES:R will change more frequently so it was used. Also, this template already use template:CurrentRevision and I believe it's not much of a difference from the "Git" one when it comes to randomization generation, because each time CurrentRevision has +1 then the Git will have +1 as well. It'd be awesome when there's something we can capture from within this wiki that changes constantly. CurrentVersion, PAGES:R, and #time:U are the best ones I can think of...

Do these issues matter?
Are there any one or more issues listed in Template:VideoGallery/sandbox#Cons/Issues a big deal some of us? Lucario (talk) 01:50, 31 January 2018 (CET)
