[Wikimedia-l] $55 million raised in 2014
Happy new year: http://i.imgur.com/faPsI9J.jpg Source: http://frdata.wikimedia.org/yeardata-day-vs-ytdsum.csv I don't mind the banners, although I am still saddened that several hundred editor-submitted banners which remain untested from six years ago, when the observed variance in the performance of those that were tested indicates that there are likely at least 15 which would do better than any of those which were tested. Why the heck is the fundraising team still ignoring all those untested submissions? But as to the intrusiveness of the banners, I would rather have fade-in popups with fuschia blinkmarquee text on a epileptic seizure-inducing background and auto-play audio than have the fundraising director claim that donations are decreasing to help justify narrowing scope.

Fair points, but there are 12842 transclusions of {{Diff}} on en.WP;
this template will make life easier for the people who use it.
I have had to remove templates from pages where they run into
the too many templates problem
If template trasclusion numbers are too high, {{Diff}} can be
Subst:, leaving an internal, not external, link behind.
does anyone know if we have a way of centralising templates
that are likely to be useful or recommended for all wikis?
I think sharing Lua modules, rather than the actual templates, may be better.

I'd rather suggest a global JavaScript gadget to replace those URLs with
plain Special:Diff links, since the {{diff}} template does not work in every
wiki.
Great; let me know when you've got that working.

[Wikimedia-l] New template URL to diff
A new, Lua based template:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Url_to_diff
has been made (at my request) for teh English Wikipedia.
Given a URL like:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVillage_pump_%28technical%29diff=640631079oldid=640620995
and label text (say example)
it returns a formatted Diff template like:
{{diff|Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)|640631079|640620995|example}}
You may wish to import it into other Wikis.
