Sjabloon:Samenvoegen nieuwe maand

Hoi, om het aanmaken van een nieuwe samenvoegen-maandpagina te vergemakkelijken heb ik een sjabloon gemaakt. Momenteel neemt ie twee parameters, maar met wat wiki-magie is het denk ik te reduceren tot nul parameters. Is dit in huidige vorm bruikbaar door MrBlueBot? --BDijkstra (overleg) 2 jun 2015 11:28 (CEST)

Goed idee. Zo te zien produceert het sjabloon dezelfde code, dus dat zal voor de bot geen probleem zijn. En anders kan ik hem wel aanpassen. Met vriendelijke groet, MrBlueSky (overleg) 2 jun 2015 19:10 (CEST)

Dat is fijn. Maar nu de volgende stap: als er een nieuwe maand aanbreekt en er is nog geen maandpagina, kan ie dan het sjabloon gebruiken om een nieuwe pagina te maken? --BDijkstra (overleg) 2 jun 2015 22:57 (CEST)

Dat heeft niet zoveel zin denk ik: ik start de bot altijd handmatig op, dus ik ben op dat moment altijd zelf aanwezig. Ik kan dan net zo makkelijk zelf even een nieuwe pagina maken als dat nog niet gebeurd is. Het zou wel handig zijn als de nieuwe pagina altijd direct om 12 uur op de eerste dag van de maand botmatig aangemaakt wordt. Daarvoor kan ik in principe wel wat in elkaar knutselen, maar ik moet even zien of dat niet teveel gedoe is voor die 12x per jaar. MrBlueSky (overleg) 3 jun 2015 22:57 (CEST)

OK, prima. Laat het maar weten als blijkt dat het wenselijk is om de argumenten aan het sjabloon te versimpelen. --BDijkstra (overleg) 4 jun 2015 11:31 (CEST)

Onderzoek: de mening van Wikipediabewerkers

Excuus dat dit bericht zomaar op uw overlegpagina is geplaatst! Graag vragen wij uw aandacht voor het volgende: bureau Motivaction voert momenteel in opdracht van Wikimedia Nederland een enquête uit onder de bewerkers van de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia. Kernvraag is hoe zij het bewerken van Wikipedia ervaren. Hierbij gaat het om zaken als werksfeer, werkdruk, omgangsvormen etc. Omdat de mening van zeer actieve bewerkers zoals uzelf voor het onderzoek heel relevant is, is in overleg met de gemeenschap besloten de 250 meest actieve Nederlandstalige Wikpedianen persoonlijk uit te nodigen om deel te nemen aan de enquête. Dat kan via deze link. Het invullen kost ongeveer 20 minuten. We hopen dat u in staat zult zijn om deel te nemen. Dank voor uw tijd. Bureau Motivation en Wikimedia Nederland 5 jun 2015 03:11 (CEST)
