Branch template?
Would it be stepping on your toes move queries and stuff for branches into a template to generate branch pages and add a property+category so it can be neatly queried? I'm looking forward to getting some pretty graphs from that data :) --ete (talk) 18:12, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Nope, since this is work in progress anyway. It is currently evolving step by step. Yeah, a property "Blongs to branch" will be most helpful since I would additionally like to have e.g. a timeline for a single branch only, etc.. Also it would simplify the brachnavigation template I created yesterday. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 18:27, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Utterly cool :) Ah using variables. I think a propery for branches allows even more flexibility beyond the overview pages. I just have the idea that it may be nice not just to have the website count but also percentage information. Will have a good nights sleep now. :) --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 20:52, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * SMW is fun :). I was kinda unsure how your version of the nav template worked, and variables are something I've used before. Still have some ideas on improving it (redlink to next if any websites have a version we're missing?). I think we could well add a branch property to each generator too. I was prioritizing the properties which let us query for website counts for each branch, but thinking more, it probably works best to include unofficial releases too... I'll go back and change a few things, see if it fits with your idea :). Edit: Maybe tomorrow. Sleep for now. --ete (talk) 21:43, 18 June 2014 (UTC)


 * My version worked very similar, but required the versions to be hardcoded within the rest of the page. Variables is far better since it allows to avoid this. I think it will be better to put alphas, custom versions etc. into different pages like e.g. Generator:MediaWiki 1.19.x/custom etc. To maintain an official stable insight is important I believe. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 11:57, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
