Dates of Existance
Fantastic job on the dates of existance on countries! I was wondering, and I know it is probably quite difficult, but, on wikipedia they have, on either side of the years, arrows that link to what the state was previosuly and what the state is now, Would it eb possible to do soemthing like that here on Conservapedia?--IScott 16:50, 18 February 2009 (EST)
- Quite possibly! I don't want to say for sure yes because I haven't really tried something like that here, but I could definitely get the arrows and maybe get the flags. That all being said, I am a little worried about the template becoming overloaded with parameters, so I'll try it some time within the next week and we'll see what it ends up looking like; thanks so much!--IDuan 17:00, 18 February 2009 (EST)
I took a look around, and, in my opinion at least, I feel that having the arrows (which are really all flash and little substance) wouldn't be worth the extra code, especially since having one arrow for the pre-country/post-country status really isn't accurate - there are certainly countries that have split into multiple countries. I'll still work on trying to minimize the code, and maybe one day implementing it, but I'm afraid it can't be at the top of my list right now, but I promise that will definitely attempt it at least a few more times.--IDuan 16:41, 21 February 2009 (EST)
