Chat

Hey there Ederchil, I just thought I'd let you know about the IRC chat, feel free to join if you ever feel like it, there's at least a couple MinasTirith.com members (Ardamir, Halion, Mith, myself) or wiki editors usually on. We're hoping soon there will be enough interest so we can setup weekly meetings to discuss the wiki. --Hyarion 17:26, 27 January 2008 (EST)

Ï'n not really a chatter, but I'll try and figure it out. -- Ederchil 09:07, 28 January 2008 (EST)

Events

You've been doing a great job with the year articles, they're looking so much better now. One thing that's been on my mind is how we can store the data more efficiently. For instance I've started creating articles such as January 1 which will list all the events that have ocurred on January 1st both on Earth and on Arda. Then we can include these articles into the Main Page to see what happened today. I haven't quite figured out the best layout for the page, since we'll want to easily include these. Also, I think we can probably be more specific as to what the Fellowship of the Ring was doing on that day. Like if there isn't any specific event on that day, we can just say they were traveling from X to X or something.

For now I guess we'll just have to manually type things in both year and day articles, but in the future it would be nice if we could type up the event in one location and the other articles include that data somehow, I haven't figured out how to get that to work yet. It would be nice if we could display events by type too, like publication, birth, death, etc. Just thought I'd let you know what's going through my head :) --Hyarion 17:41, 28 January 2008 (EST)
