I should point out that I don't know if Nick _is_ still around! If not,
perhaps Dom is still in touch with him (or indeed can remember discussion
of this feature, though it's 6 years since it was implemented).
* everything which is missing an X, for every value
of X (at the moment
I can find everything without a postcode but not everything without a
web address -- seems a bit arbitrary unless there's something I'm missing
about the way the database works?)
It seems a bit arbitrary to me too, and in fact you can munge the URL
to do what you want, e.g.
http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?action=show_missing_metadata&metadat…
so it's just a restriction of the interface. I don't know if that was
on purpose.
* everything in category/locale X which is missing a
Y, e.g.
- everything in Locale:Donnington which is missing grid refs
- everything in Locale:Rose_Hill which is missing a photo
- everything in Category:Pubs which is missing a website
- everything in Category:Cafes which is missing opening hours
Yes, these would be useful, as would be visualising the results on a
map instead of as a list.
Do you think you could have a go at raising a ticket for these
enhancements? bob recently did some much-needed triage on the bug
database, which has made me much more likely to actually look at the
reps there. If you don't already have a Trac account, there are
instructions for registering here:
