Questions

[edit]
  • On which page on IT, FR, DE and EN Wikipedias should be displayed the calendar ?
    • Don't know yet.
  • Where is the MediaWiki API bot ?
    • No bot exists yet but useful in the future if synchronisation needed with other Wikipedias
  • Provide some filters
  • Why another calendar?
    • allow everyone to view and edit their events in an easy and wiki way (for example using VisualEditor)
    • avoid to build key features over gadgets or MediaWiki extensions to avoid bureaucratic deployment delays (e.g. being an interface admin in all the wikis)

Decisions

[edit]

Time typed will be London Time and Javascript will displayed the time according to the user prefs.

2020-08-07 Valerio and Nicolas : when and end fields must contains hour and minutes with this format HH:MM (24h) example 12:00 for noon.
