User:The Transhumanist/Follow-up

This page is for keeping track of loose-ends. Not tasks per se, but actions that have been started and which require follow-up. Like active discussions I'm in (and need to keep checking), requests made, questions asked, etc.

[edit] Discussions participating in

This section is for keeping track of discussions that I'm in that are not on my talk page.

• Mediation: Talk:Paytakaran
• Virtual classroom - discussion on next and future classroom assignments/presentations

[edit] Bug hunting

A bug hunt is the effort to eliminate bugs from programs (or user scripts). If a bug is really annoying in an otherwise useful script, it may be worthwhile to follow-up on the bug until it is fixed. For a program's author, bug hunting means personally fixing the programming code. For users it means reporting the bug and following up on it.

• WikEd
  • inappropriate cursor movement after cuts, pastes, or deleting certain textual elements in the document.
  • tendency to jump to the next window. (Need to pin this one down to a specific cause).

[edit] Question tracker

The various forums around Wikipedia (Help desk, Village pump, talk pages, etc.) are perfect for getting questions answered. But it can be all too easy to forget that you've posted questions, and by the time you remember (if you remember), finding the posts again from the archives of the forums (usually buried in the edit histories), can be a real pain (especially if you don't remember which page you posted the questions to). Therefore, it is a good idea to keep a list of questions you have asked, preceded by an annotation as to where and when you posted each. Another section can be included to provide a place to jot down questions you don't have time to post at the moment. My lists of questions follow. If you know the answer to any of the unanswered questions (or a better answer to the answered ones, please post your answers here. The format I use is:

• forum name, timestamp - question
  • answer 1
  • answer 2
  • etc.

[edit] Questions holding bin (not posted to a forum yet)

• Is there a tool or way of creating a list of links from a page? For instance, if you want a list of all the links that appear on the Wikipedia:Department directory.

• Is there a tool that takes as its input a list of pages, and outputs a list of all the links on all those pages?

• What is the fastest and easiest way to sort a list? Such as an unsorted list of bulleted items in a "See also" section.

• Is there a tool that will sort a list directly in Wikipedia's edit frame?

• Is there an easy way to puge duplicate entries from a list?
