Problem
To editor Mr. Stradivarius: I'm trying to use this but when I bring up the tags interface, all the fields are greyed out and I can't add title or tags to new Signpost articles. Past articles already tagged are fine. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:08, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Chris troutman: Hm, there seems to be a problem with User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/SignpostTagger. I'll take a look at it later on. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 00:58, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Chris troutman: It turns out I didn't build SignpostTagger to handle the situation when a year module such as Module:Signpost/index/2019 does not exist. This meant that it was failing for all articles from 2020 onwards, as those index modules never got created. I have now fixed the gadget, so you should be able to save tags for any article now. If the year index module does not exist, the gadget will create it. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:52, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Adding authorship
Hi @Mr. Stradivarius! Thanks so much for creating this. Would it be possible to add authors (bylines) to the metadata? This could be used to generate profile pages of Signpost writers and their articles. Cheers! 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 05:08, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi EpicPupper. It's certainly possible. Is this something that's been discussed with other Signpost editors? It would be a not-insignificant amount of work to update the module and the gadget, and I'd like to be sure that it's a feature that people actually want before putting in the work to build it.
