The question is: can this be used to automate wiki-readable timestamps?


Imagine that a subclusion'd version of the month and date were in a template in such a way that they automatically time-stamped a DangerReport when a user updated it. Comparisons between the 'current' month and date and those so timestamped could be used to automate aging of DangerReports... or at least I think so.

Checking basic timestamping: <nowiki>{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}</nowiki>? Is this undefined?: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}
While we're at it, lets take a look at some of the other cool stuff from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words]:<br>
<nowiki>{{LOCALTIME}}</nowiki>? Is this undefined?: {{LOCALTIME}}<br>
<nowiki>{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}</nowiki>? Is this undefined?: {{NUMBEROFUSERS}}<br>

<nowiki>{{NUMBEROFADMINS}}</nowiki>? Is this undefined?: {{NUMBEROFADMINS}}<br>
This one might be cool: <nowiki>__NEWSECTIONLINK__</nowiki>? If this works, there should be a "+" at the top of this page for new sections.
__NEWSECTIONLINK__
Yup, that one works.
Ah, what is the mediawiki version of the UD wiki? <nowiki>{{CURRENTVERSION}}</nowiki>: {{CURRENTVERSION}}<br>
Finally, anything the UD wiki can do specially? It'll be listed on the [[Special:Version]] page.

Does it work? Only if our wiki has implemented the math functions...

Nope. Doesn't work.
What is missing comes from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions here].

See: Sand Pit, Sand Box, SandBox2 and SandBox3.

With normal transclusion: 

{{CURRENTDAY}}-{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}-{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTTIME}}

produces...

23-December-2024 06:41

With subclusion: 

{{subst:CURRENTDAY}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}}-{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}

produces...

But in the latter case, the actual source of this page has been changed permanently. 

Try it: edit this page and replace the date-and-time information shown under
subclusion with the protected version just above it. Then save the page and reopen it.

The question is: can this be used to automate wiki-readable timestamps?

Imagine that a subclusion'd version of the month and date were in a template in such a way that they automatically time-stamped a DangerReport when a user updated it. Comparisons between the 'current' month and date and those so timestamped could be used to automate aging of DangerReports... or at least I think so.

Checking basic timestamping: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}? Is this undefined?: 20241223064124

While we're at it, lets take a look at some of the other cool stuff from [1]:
{{LOCALTIME}}? Is this undefined?: 06:41
{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}? Is this undefined?: 51,339
{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}}? Is this undefined?: 18
{{NUMBEROFADMINS}}? Is this undefined?: 7
This one might be cool: __NEWSECTIONLINK__? If this works, there should be a "+" at the top of this page for new sections.

Yup, that one works.

Ah, what is the mediawiki version of the UD wiki? {{CURRENTVERSION}}: 1.39.1
Finally, anything the UD wiki can do specially? It'll be listed on the Special:Version page.


Other tools to be used in this: {{PREVIOUSMONTH}} isn't implemented here (undefined: Template:PREVIOUSMONTH) but this is what generates it: 

{{#expr:(({{CURRENTMONTH}}+10)mod 12)+1}}

Does it work? Only if our wiki has implemented the math functions... Here: {{#expr:((12+10)mod 12)+1}} Nope. Doesn't work. What is missing comes from here.
