Maybe if you donated they could afford to do this properly.

You're the one missing out of all the sweet earning potential.

I'm violating your license by not crediting you when I quote your comment.
Expect to shortly find the indictment in your mail.
yeah anybody could join this just like literally everything else. Have you perchance took place on the lilo vs grub debate?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Signpost/item, if that's what you mean.
The JPxG person (who is not an employee of WMF for some reason; maybe they didn't apply?) recently put this in the testing version of the template:
<!--
The previous thing was unimaginably bad, so I fixed it. It's still pretty bad, but now it isn't 40 lines of the same thing pasted over and over.
(JPxG, 2023 December 6)
--></noinclude>
{{#switch: {{{2}}}
| 0 = {{#switch: {{{1}}}<!-- Case handling for speshul snoufleik "0" parameter to put note from the editor top and centered. -->
| 3 = <div style="text-align:center; margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px;"><span style="font-size:75%;">''{{{4}}}'' — ''[[#{{{4}}}|{{{5}}}]]''</span></div>
}}
| #default = {{#switch: {{{1}}}{{#expr:{{{2}}} mod 2}}<!-- Everything else. -->

| 41 =
}}
}}
maybe he was rejected because of his awful date format?
Anyway, the testing version has now been automatically protected from editing because JPxG also tested his kewl new testing version by using it in an old 2010 issue, which resulted in 827 page updates
For all the good wikipedia does, it has the worst markup language I've seen.
I mean, it's very OK and even charming when you have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions enabled. You can perfectly read the testing version of the code, no?
