New thread: When crossing over the 1st of the month
=When crossing over the 1st of the month= Wik's'interesting' viewpoint
Line 363:
 
I've noticed that there's been some controversy about whether to include any items from the previous month on the Current events page, even if the last month ended just days ago. I don't really mind one way or the other, honestly. But if there ''is'' going to be some crossover, then there is a hitch to be dealt with: namely, events for the last few days of the month will be listed in two places, and changes made in one place may not ever be noticed and copied over to the other place. So someone will need to think of a good way to deal with that. —[[User:LarryGilbert|LarryGilbert]] 01:50, 2004 Apr 2 (UTC)
 
: There is no controversy. It is the Done Thing. Wik believes, for some reason, that because he [&c.] cannot be bothered to do the merging, no-one will (which is untrue; I have done it several times in the past). It is certainly not hard to do, though it's mildly time-consuming.
: The whole point is that having a blank or nearly-blank CE page looks a little poor; the whole point of the Wikipedia is using people's volunteered time for effective use all the time.
