=== Currenttimestamp? === | |||
As far as I can see, the CURRENTTIMESTAMP template (i.e. {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}) doesn't update per page refresh, it seems to stay stuck at the point when the last edit occurred or the cache page was generated. So I'm not sure it can be used to generate the random value. I think we had determined that some JavaScript is needed to either handle the random selection, or minimally generate an actual random value here. BTW, a parameterless version of things would be nicer, even if it can't handle the random selection. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 08:42, 27 January 2018 (CET) | |||
:You're right, it didn't update on page load. I was hoping that it was just cache of another template rather than on page directly, but nope it's still not updated, as confirmed in next section below. We'll look into Javascript I guess. I've wondered how will Javascript look and how will it pick three lucky videos and list the rest. I'm no Javascript expert so I won't be able to tell how hard it'd be.

::You can't cheat the cache. You have to use [[MediaWiki:Common.js]]. That's the only way. If you put logic in there to generate a random seed, that should be enough. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 09:15, 27 January 2018 (CET) | |||
:::Thanks for letting me know, it kinda suck we've had to wait for the cache to purge out for the time to update. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 14:18, 27 January 2018 (CET) | |||
:I agree! Parameterless seems better. With it the uploader can just select all > copy'n'paste the url then append with caption. It'll have same feel as you'd copy full url then append with caption in brackets. There was one editor who deliberately assign +1 to all vid/cap parameters then use the first parameter for his video. It made me want to curl! [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 09:12, 27 January 2018 (CET) | |||
:: Yes, they also frequently will perform arbitrary edits (i.e. adding/removing spacing) until their video comes to the top. This is the exact reason we want to restore true randomness. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 09:32, 27 January 2018 (CET) | |||
: Generating a random ID in common.js is easy enough. However, I'm not clear there is any way for that to hand off to wiki handling, so I think any randomization related logic here is likely pointless. Since I'm not clear there is any good way to perform a hand-off, I think we need to perform the random selection and HTML generation in JavaScript, which makes things more complicated (though not particularly difficult).

Did you actually test the SNES titles, a number of the pre-existing ratings indicated problems so I'm not clear it's safe to assume them to all be 5 stars.

:Come to think of it we might be able to provide some general integration to those histories from the title pages, though the truncation / merging of them probably makes that tough.

:I did tried look though change history of GMSE01.ini (wasn't it and not GFEE01.ini?) on GitHub to find when a setting has been added. I've browsed through its changes on GitHub but then it'd be hard to find the actual Dolphin revision out of it. I can, however, look at change's date to look though download pages of older development versions faster then look for matching PR description, but it's completely useless when the age of last relevant change was older than age of {{revision|3.0-749}}.

== Preferences == | |||
Friendly reminder that you can set your edits to default to minor from within your wiki account preferences in case you get the desire to do mass edits again. You can also increase the recent changes cap to above the normal max of 500 from there as well. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 04:46, 15 January 2018 (CET) | |||
:Wasn't aware of the abilities to make my edit "minor" without me doing it each time. I have tried 1000 in recent days but returned to 250 because of page loading. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 05:11, 15 January 2018 (CET) | |||
::A lot of the time I was just manually clicking the button every time because I'm weird, but there's really no need to do that. At this point I just said fuck it and set recent changes to display 1500. (Sorry for blowing everything up by the way.) - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 05:26, 15 January 2018 (CET) | |||
