Google Code-In will soon take place again! Mentor tasks to help new contributors!
bewerkenHi everybody! Google Code-in (GCI) will soon take place again - a seven week long contest for 13-17 year old students to contribute to free software projects. Tasks should take an experienced contributor about two or three hours and can be of the categories Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, and User Interface/Design. Do you have any Lua, template, gadget/script or similar task that would benefit your wiki? Or maybe some of your tools need better documentation? If so, and you can imagine enjoying mentoring such a task to help a new contributor, please check out mw:Google Code-in/2019 and become a mentor. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at our talk page. Many thanks in advance! --Martin Urbanec 5 nov 2019 08:28 (CET)
Parameter inwoners op Balloërveld
bewerkenIk kwam op bovenstaand artikel een referentiefout tegen. {{Infobox plaats in Nederland}} heeft een parameter "inwoners" en bijhorende parameter "datum inwoners" wat "Inwoners" geeft in het artikel. In dit artikel staat er een referentie achter die inwoners. Een gebruiker voegde dan de parameters "postcode", "netnummer" en "woonplaatscode" toe. Dat werkt wel, maar om de een of andere reden verdwijnt de parameter "inwoners" dan wat in dit artikel dan een referentiefout gaf. Ik kan die referentiefout wel zo fixen, maar dan is die parameter "Inwoners" nog altijd verdwenen. Dus heb ik even de oude versie hersteld en kaart het hier aan. Is het de bedoeling dat de parameter "Inwoners" verdwijnt als je de parameter "postcode", "netnummer" of "woonplaatscode" toevoegt? Daarvoor (inwoners) werkte het wel, maar daarna (postcode, netnummer, woonplaatscode +referentiefout) niet meer. Ik zie ook geen recente wijziging op het sjabloon dat hier wat mee te maken heeft.Mvg, .svg){kind=small}

- Om een of andere reden worden de ingevulde parameters "inwoners" en "datum inwoners" genegeerd wanneer "woonplaatscode" is ingevuld. Er is niets ingevuld voor 1153 in Sjabloon:Array Nederland woonplaatsen kerngebieden 2019 en dus wordt er dan helemaal niets weergegeven. –bdijkstra (overleg) 10 nov 2019 20:40 (CET)
