Hi, if you'd like to leave me a message click here. I'll respond on your talk page.
What about {{version}}?
Did you have something like this in mind? category:version template:version (: VengefulDonut 21:32, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

- I set it up intending for it to be more of a staging namespace for us. --Briess 00:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Your message to me
ie, here
Thanks for the link.
Is the intent to mark every article with a version number? Garrie 10:00, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
- The intent is to mark every relevant article with the version it is up to date as of. So effectively yes. In order to let users know the page is up to date, and editors to know that it needs to be updated. If you have more questions about my suggestion you could use the talk page for that link I gave you so everyone else can participate. Thanks. Mason (T-C) 11:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
DF2010
So I realize you're proud of the meme you're starting, but please stop spreading it. Here is why:
- There is going to be more than one version of DF in 2010. If the terminology sticks, it will only throw people off.
- The wiki is going to have specific labels for versions, even if they have nicknames elsewhere. The only issue is who will edit them in. If you entice many people into using "DF2010" in wiki articles, there will be more for me to clean up.
So even though it feels good to spread it, please understand you are doing harm. VengefulDonut 16:22, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
