Right now, I'm building our upload lists. To help with this task, it would be useful to be able to find pages with empty playlists, and have all of them in a single category.
To accomplish this, I was planning to put my edits to Template:Sandbox into Template:PlaylistYT. Is this the right way to do it?
The pages marked empty should have empty playlists. I checked to make sure the ones with filled playlists were labeled stubs and the ones with empty playists but short descriptions were empty. No changes should be necessary to templates.
Now that I think about it, do you mean to automatically mark pages with no content as empty?
I thought the templates referred to singer description completeness, not playlist completeness. Assuming all pages follow the default format, the pages can be automatically categorized using parser functions.
Those parser functions are shown in my recent edits to .Template:Sandbox.Pages that have that template are placed into a category if and only if they have no difference from the default contents.
So I've starting running the script I was talking about to make the lists of video entries. So far, I've done what I can with Anba, Sneko, and Яin.
From what I can see in Category:Empty_Articles, there are 6 more articles that could use autogenerated lists of songs: Maeka, AELITA, Beibi, RAI, Rachie, and Rash. I don't know how many there are for sure because the templates don't currently automatically show which articles have empty lists of songs, which is the reason for this discussion.
What I did to find the empty articles was go to Special:NewPages and click through everyone, which obviously has its pitfalls. Rash isn't actually empty; he just has a severely lacking description. My view of empty vs stub vs wip articles is probably different than others; but it might be a good idea to standardize it somehow.
Also, we should remind ourselves that the {{empty}} in an article automatically adds it to Category:Empty Articles, and the same with the WIP and Stub templates. I was at first confused as to why some articles were still in Category:Empty Articles after I took out {{empty}}.
Edit: Toned down
the tags refer to the whole page. therefore a page with a wonderfully complete decription and no lists in the list of covered songs nor gallery pictures etc could be considered empty, as well as a page that only has the list of covered songs filled in.
also it depends on how much information there is outside. e.g. if an utaite is extremely secretive, its logical, that not much trivia or photos can be provided
i hope this cleared misunderstandings.
and as for the incomplete list of covered songs. i think there's no such category. it's basically all pages that dont have the {{uptodate}} tag
and as for the empty playlist category
normally we dont have many empty playlists. it was just this flood of empty yt singer pages, after the proposal->accepting thing for youtaite was terminated.
i as for myself dont think it is so much of need
more likely i would like to have a tag that says incomplete playlist
or sth like that
bc of incomplete ones, i think we have some
but i dont have a clear overview of this, after all
What do you think?
