h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Greetings

Can any of you tell me if these two pages are the same page, or if I need to list them separately in the Help Pages project?

Also, I've been assuming we don't have to list all the individual tag pages eg

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/C801

(I will do the main pages in that list though).

I'm thinking you are going to have to assess them all yourselves anyway (I can't tell which are out of date or inaccurate).

Is that ok?

A264520

Both pages have that A number.
There's no change when clicking between them in 3 separate areas (scroll each to line up at a particular line)

I'd say they're the same.

C801. Dunno



Have I barged in -

They're the same page. Every Named Entry also has an A-number (you can see it if you hover your mouse over the "start a new discussion" button - it's the article number at the end of the URL.)

<./>SubEditors-GuideML</.> is simply an easier name for A264520

All <./>NamedEntries</.> really are normal A-pages. And in all skins somewhere at the top, the named entries shows the A-number in the same place as all other entries does.

Took me a long time to write that, didn't it?!

Btw. I suggest/hope that you have fields for both the A-number and the name.

Yep, got two fields.

Let me just double check I'm clear on the Named Entries. If someone edited the named version, the A version would change too, because they're exactly the same (not just two different version of the same page)?

Yes, you only need to edit one of them

Which means I only have to list them once, which makes me happy

Yes, you only have to list the A-page once, but note that it is a named page as well.

Ok, another question...

I've catalogued some the gML pages from here: C801

So far I've done the pages that don't have 'tag' in the title. Do you want me to do all the tag ones too? I'm assuming they'll all need similar kinds of changes to them, so cataloguing them may be a waste of time.

If I catalogue them I will be listing them by A number, URL, edited by, date and update, etc, as well as if there is any bbc, dna or barleque reference, and if outdated (I see references in one page to netscape ). But I'm also bound to miss techie stuff, so you will have to be reading them all yourselves anyway.

As an aside, it's strange that all those tag pages are DNA ones, I though there were h2g2 versions, but they may be categorised elsewhere.


What do you think?

Likewise C864

(with the exception of Discontinued Information Pages, not sure what they're doing in there).

>> Do you want me to do all the tag ones too? I'm assuming they'll all need similar kinds of changes to them, so cataloguing them may be a waste of time.

My feeling is to list the A number and the page name (which you can do without actually opening the pages).

Looking at them, they are DNA Hub pages, so I think we should ask Pastey to confirm with the BBC dudes that they are indeed part of the package. I think we do need them.

>>My feeling is to list the A number and the page name (which you can do without actually opening the pages).

I've just done that with the Smiley pages too (the intro pages are fully listed)

The DNA pages are full of useful and interesting stuff, I hope we get to keep them. Ottox has copies of them all too if we need them for reference later.
