I don't know if Jonas has told you about this yet, but the flippin Rentals link to to Weezerpedia page on Colorado on their site, it's awesome. go to the little "Rentals History" thing and click on Colorado under Discography. It takes you straight to the WP page. | I don't know if Jonas has told you about this yet, but the flippin Rentals link to to Weezerpedia page on Colorado on their site, it's awesome. go to the little "Rentals History" thing and click on Colorado under Discography.

== On this day new code == | |||
I've changed the 'On this day...' section on the [[Main Page]] so it's a little easier to manage. Before we were using the system that I set up with Selected Anniversaries which meant we had a date page, like [[April 15]], and we also had to have a page called [[Weezerpedia:Selected_anniversaries/April_15]]. This meant two pages for each date had to be maintained. Anyway, we no longer need Selected Anniversaries, what is on the date page itself will show up under the 'On this day' section. If you want you can mass delete all the pages that start with ''"Weezerpedia:Selected_anniversaries/"'' because they are no longer necessary. | |||
Also you might read the top part of this page - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Transclusion] to see how different types of Transclusions work aside from regular Templates and Namespaces. When you include a template in a page you use <nowiki>{{Template:TemplateName}}</nowiki> or simply <nowiki>{{TemplateName}}</nowiki>, you know that. What I had overlooked, and why we used the Selected Anniversaries, was how to include a normal page, without a specific namespace, inside another page. That can be done with something like this <nowiki>{{:Pinkerton}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{:Geffen}}</nowiki>. Just use the colon in front of the page you want to Transclude within the brackets. | |||
The only other thing to note is that because date pages have categories for their months, Ex. April 15 has the category <nowiki>Category:April</nowiki>. This will be transcluded into the On This Day section and puts the Main Page in the April category for the time being. So we might think about using <nowiki><noinclude></noinclude></nowiki> tags around the categories on date pages, but I'll think more about that. | |||
I'm going to post this to Martin's page to so he knows how the 'On this day' section has changed. | |||
