Talk:Whats New

As requested on the FW discussion boards, this is the 'Whats New' section that lists new content in the wiki in an easy-to-swallow capsule.

Please add to this list whenever a new Fish, Location or Article is added to the wiki. Do not include minor updates such as correcting errors or grammar, population of missing table data or clean-up of any vandalism. Clearly what makes a 'big ticket' update is a subjective call but one I'm sure will get easier through use.

The 'ideal' size of this list is probably 5. I have started this off at 6 as an example of the different types of updates that qualify. This can be pruned after the first update.

When a new update needs to be added, please add it to the top of the list and delete the last entry.

Change Archive?

Perhaps instead of deleting old updates, we should move it to a section that is not included in the main page. This way we can maintain a timeline of events. --Hyperchao 05:00, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I did toy with the idea myself, but was unconvinced whether a history of what and when information was added to the wiki would be of any real interest to readers. I know that MarcD was looking at a timeline of Fish Wrangler, which I would imagine would be of real interest to folk, but that is something else entirely.

Unless anyone has a burning desire to have a change archive, we could start with the 'queue' method as proposed. If it later transpires that such a page would be useful, it would be relatively straightforward to knock one up by collating the changes as extracted from the hisory of the Whats New page itself.
