Population graph
I've developed a more automated template for population growth charts (intended for census data on geographical articles) at the Vietnamese Wikipedia. If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to port vi:Mô đun:Thời biểu dân số over to this wiki; just contact me. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 16:53, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- i gave it a cursory look. first of all - very nice! second - the Vietnamese version currently is limited to a single dataset, so i am not sure it's The Answer™ (although it maybe can be used to develop "The Answer"). However, one thing that the Vietnamese module linked above did right (and i went wrong), is actually using mw:Extension:Timeline (i used divs with position:absolute - quite a disaster). for me personally, timeline has one huge deficiency that tramps (almost) anything else: its RTL support sucks (thogh, maybe Lua can help even here? i'll have to ponder it a bit). i am not all that familiar with the "Timeline" syntax, but it may actually be better.
- So next mission is to develop a line-graph using the timeline syntax.
