Things to do

• Put event start and end dates in SMW properties so we can query them
  • Property:Event start timestamp and Property:Event finish timestamp; each can contain multiple values if the quest has reruns
  • I think I added handling for this to {{event infobox}}? Not sure about {{eventspecial infobox}} or if it even gets used the same way
  • {{event rerun}} exists but needs work
• Create a template that automatically displays notices
• Create a template for displaying a "Retired" or "Future content" notices on event quest/item pages
  • User:Erin_Umbreon/Sandbox/Event_status_test very wip
• Automate main page "current events" listing based on this data
  • wasn't originally planning on this but we sure can do it!

I started the work for this a while ago and told myself "I'll probably fix this up and finish it tomorrow" and then several months passed. lmao. Erin Umbreon (talk) 19:49, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
