Feature request: monthly totals
Hey @Pppery, great work creating this module.
I have a feature request: monthly totals.
It looks like it would be a small extra bit of coding, and it would be very handy to have e.g. at WP:Categories for discussion/Working#Discussions_awaiting_closure a quick summary of the form:
- January 2019: 14
- February 2019: 589,704
- March 2019: 26
Even better, if there was a "totals only" parameter, then it could be wrapped in a template to make a wee indicator box for editors and admins to display on their userpages, just as many people display article alerts, WP:CENT etc. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:48, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- PS Even better: if there was a "month" parameter to tally just one month (e.g. "month=201901"), then we could build a combined totals indicator templates for all XFDs which the module support, with a column for the current month and each of the previous three months. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:59, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
@BrownHairedGirl: Is Script error: The function "bymonth" does not exist. what you're looking for? {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:33, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- Brilliant, @Pppery.
- That's my first request sorted in double-quick time. Thanks.
- Would I be pushing my luck to ask if the "month=" param is doable without too much grief? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- I'm currently in the process of coding this. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:41, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- @BrownHairedGirl: Done. Ex:
{{#invoke:XfD old/sandbox|onemonth|month=March 2019|title=Wikipedia:Categories for discussion}}-> 0 {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:50, 15 March 2019 (UTC)- Brilliant, @Pppery. Please can it go live? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:54, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Done. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 01:56, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Wonderful, @Pppery!
{{XFD backlog}} →
| V | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CfD | 0 | 0 | 6 | 21 | 27 |
| TfD | 0 | 0 | 2 | 13 | 15 |
| MfD | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| FfD | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
| RfD | 0 | 0 | 0 | 54 | 54 |
| AfD | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Are there any plans to support MfD and AFD? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- @BrownHairedGirl: The way the module is currently coded is incompatible with XfD forums that use subpages, so no. It could be theoretically expanded to support FfD and/or RfD if AnomieBOT were updated to create the necessary
/Old unclosed discussionspages. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:25, 15 March 2019 (UTC)- @BrownHairedGirl: I've changed my mind about this, and added the monthly backlog functionality for AfD and MfD in a separate module that shares no code with this one. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 20:31, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
@BrownHairedGirl: You should probably template-protect Module:XfD old; the template being protected but not the module is causing the template to be part of a a tracking category I created. {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 02:43, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Pppery: Good idea. Done[1]. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:48, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
