Discussion

•  Bot trial complete: Contributions in question. Riley Huntley (talk) 22:27, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
• Just wondering, is this {{ISOdate}} done via regex, or is there some clever algorithms? --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 10:13, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

  @Zhuyifei1999: I'm adding the template using regex, correct. Riley Huntley (talk) 16:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• Looks good to me, should be approved if no objections arise. --Krd 12:10, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• Looks OK for me. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• Requesting speedy approval per above, if possible. :) Riley Huntley (talk) 06:50, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

  Approved for a test run at full scale. I'd suggest to keep the request open for a few more days just in case there will pop up anything. --Krd 07:45, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

  @Krd: ISOdate is totally redundant in the date parameter of {{Information}} template (and similar ones like {{Photograph}}). — TintoMeches, 12:37, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

  +1. I am inclined to revert such unnecessary additions since they violate the KISS principle. Please stop this task, at least for dates without a time. --Leyo 17:35, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

  @Riley Huntley: Please stop that task for further discussion. --Krd 18:03, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

  +1 I too see no need for this additional template. My experience with the information template that the date/time conversion for timestamps in ISO format works well. Raymond 19:23, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

  whats better now? IMO makes the code more difficult to edit and I cant see any benefit ...Sicherlich ^talk 22:06, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

• @Krd: Task is not running and won't be continued until further discussion. I'll be the first to admit I wasn't aware ISOdate was automatically added through the Information template. If the ISOdate task is completely unneeded, then I'm only seeking permission for the second part of this request as outlined above. Cheers, and thanks for the pings. :) Riley Huntley (talk) 02:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

  @Riley Huntley: I'm fine with the second part of this task. — TintoMeches, 13:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

  It'll be good idea to remove redundant {{ISOdate}} as part of such cleanups. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

  I concur. Riley Huntley (talk) 06:45, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

@Krd: I think this has been open long enough to determine that the requested task (due note the stricken text above) can be approved. Riley Huntley (talk) 04:29, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Again approved for full scale test run, but I suggest to keep this formally open until end of month just in case there will pop anything unexpected. --Krd 06:43, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Trial 2 complete; relevant contributions. Riley Huntley (talk) 05:48, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Looks OK for me. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:12, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Approved. --Krd 08:25, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
