Is there a way to look up all images that are used in articles, sorted by oldest?
I would like to look for old images, that need to be updated.

I queried the files from the wiki API, creating this list: https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/User:Bitmode/Used_imagesIs there a way to look up all images that are used in articles, sorted by oldest?

@Mister Analyst there are a bunch of entries in [[Hotkeys]] which don't actually have a hotkey. Shouldn't they be in [[user interface]]?

So broken down per wiki that is one part-time job maintaining a website. No different than e.g. what any free community wiki on fandom.com has. And just as a reminder, the wiki is not just linked from the game in some external resources list, the tutorial repeatedly points players at it - in a game actively selling millions of copies!We do have one person who's paid for their time but their time budget restricts them to do the behind the scenes infrastructure work on the wikis.
They have been broken for well over a year. Status from January:which due to notifications being broken, I never heard about, so was unaware
Imagine notifications on the forums weren't working for over year. I think the level of inaction on Paradox's part speaks for itself.Been reported to DevOps.
They handle company-wide issues so it's low priority I'm afraid.
Sad to hear it, but understandable.I've recently got a bit a more "HoI4" time, and getting back to contributing to the wikis was one of the things that it could have potentially been spent on, but the experience of finding past accurate information replaced by inaccurate stuff, and that notifications clearly aren't working, was a bit deflating, and I think I'll just go the full modding.
So how about looking for instance at the actual points @Axe99 brought up? Have you followed up on the notification issue at all? You probably don't follow the general hoi4 forum (seeing that you moderate its wiki despite not caring much about the game), but we probably don't have even a dozen potential contributors with the level of insight Axe99 has.We are actively looking for ways to optimise editor's time on the wiki.
Outside of the moderator team, who subscribes to this hope? Editors are already free to work on whichever part of the wiki they like or are most competent at. I doubt Axe99 was looking at https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Chinese_events to arrive at their conclusion.Something we're very keen on, is scripting the large tables so that when patches drop we can merely rerun scripts and have chunks of the wiki up to date. This will hopefully free time for people to work on the mechanics pages.
@Axe99 This is good feedback and I do agree with a lot of what you say. I am only a volunteer and do not have the time, nor the love for HOI4 to be a truly dedicated editor. We do have one person who's paid for their time but their time budget restricts them to do the behind the scenes infrastructure work on the wikis.

Sad to hear it, but understandable.
It might be that they use a mod and are unaware of it.An anonymous user has been (wrongly) changing the country leaders and party names of countries over the last few days. They are going through them alphabetically and currently at Italy. To save them and us a bunch of work, maybe we should temporarily restrict the next few countries for anonymous users?
@Axe99, thank you for your words and the feedback. We try to do our best even if at times it may not seem to others as enough.
I can't elaborate at this time on why notifications was not fixed, but if all goes well the wikis should have it fixed along with other requested improvements by the end of the year.
To clarify, since it seems some refuse to acknowledge the fact, I have a full time job on my hands and instead of spending most of my free time with friends and loved ones (or even playing a game for that matter), I dedicate them to maintaining all the wikis along with the wonderful team of volunteers. This is not a "part-time-job" -- the HoI4 wiki gets, at best, a couple of hours a month.
As always, if any of you would like to take care of the HoI4 wiki project on as part of the wiki team feel free to mention it.
No offense taken -- I meant the community as a whole.Please don't take my comments as anything directed at you (or anyone else)...
I'm liking this idea. More generally it might make sense to semi-protect fully automated pages even if they are not high traffic. Switching back from automation to manual should probably not be done anonymously.Given the recent string of edits of the various political parties. A script scraping the files and dumping this into wiki format for the political party page with transclusion elements will save a lot of time. Furthermore we can edit the country pages to pull from the political party page and prevent duplication. The secondary bonus is this makes the political party page a high traffic page and we have reason to semi-protect it, preventing vandalism.
