Talk:Learning patterns

There is one pattern to consider: the lean startup business model as a pattern Ad Huikeshoven (talk) 18:47, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Not being updated?

Hi, I found that the Grants:Learning patterns page is not being updated with new learning patterns since January 2014. Let us fix this quickly!. --Netha Hussain (talk) 10:30, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Netha Hussain! This is my bad; I'll try to have this fixed by end of day Monday, PDT. Thanks for the nudge :) Cheers, Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 20:41, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Cool! --Netha Hussain (talk) 16:39, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

GrantsBot

Jonathan: Might we consider stop having GrantsBot constantly reorder learning patterns at Grants:Learning patterns by last edit date? I watch the page as a way to be notified of new learning patterns. The constant reordering is rendering that rather useless. Personally, I would prefer that the patterns just stay alphabetized. What does ordering by last edit date get us? Thanks! Libcub (talk) 23:02, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Lubcub. That's a fair suggestion. There are a couple reasons why I have set GrantsBot to update the ordering the way I have:

1. refreshing the list on a regular basis (every time a pattern is edited) assures that the profiles (the picture + summary) stay accurate. If someone changes the infobox summary of a pattern, or adds an image, that change will only be reflected in the list when the bot refreshes it. If we refresh the list less often (say, only when a new pattern is created), the content is less likely to be up to date.
2. ordering the list by edit date showcases the newest patterns (and/or those under active development). If I order them alphabetically, the same patterns will always appear at the top of the list, and newly-created ones will almost always appear below the fold, making them basically impossible to find without consulting the page history. I'd like to avoid that.

I would like to have a standard list of Learning Patterns available as well. Probably using DynamicPageList, like they do in the PEG request list page. BTW, you can also monitor edits to patterns, and the creation of new patterns, using Special:RecentChangesLinked. Have you tried that? I keep this link in my browser bookmarks. Cheers, Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 23:20, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, Recent Changes should work sufficiently well for what I want. Thanks. Libcub (talk) 02:13, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Translations?

Hi, where is the preferred location for translations of these patterns? Local wiki, subpage, some other title? Thanks.--Strainu (talk) 23:15, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Strainu. Are you familiar with how the translation extension works? That's the standard way of translating stuff on Meta. It's a somewhat convoluted process, but the documentation I linked to is pretty good. At least 1 pattern has been marked for translation this way (tho it doesn't look like it has actually been translated yet). You can look at it's markup to get an idea of what to do. Hope that helps, Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 23:37, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Every learning-pattern title is displayed twice, one after the other

This is a design flaw. How do people want to fix it? Tony (talk) 07:00, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Learning patterns project page

Hi everyone, please go to Grants talk:Learning patterns/Project to discuss the learning patterns project in general. Thank you! --Bgibbs (WMF) (talk) 07:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Link to blog post in the intro

Hi! I've become a big fan of the learning pattern library. Now that I understand it, I am referencing it more in my work. I thought those new to the concept might appreciate the option of having further reading. And I knew that, a while back, Jonathan Morgan (WMF) wrote this post for the Wikimedia blog about learning patterns. Hope you don't mind that I added a link to it in the lead of the learning pattern library page. Feel free to revise as you see fit. Anna Koval (WMF) (talk) 01:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Anna, we're still working on that lead, but I think that looks fine for now. There may be some changes in the next few days or weeks. Thanks! --Bgibbs (WMF) (talk) 19:55, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Good, glad that's on the to-do list and glad that I could help. :) Looking forward to an even awesomer learning pattern library. :) Anna Koval (WMF) (talk) 20:21, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Redundancy in lists of patterns

There's search, list, browse, and then a complete list all on the same page. Could we maybe simplify how we're presenting the list of patterns to make it less confusing (subpage prefixes are ugly when displayed in a list)?

This page is also incredibly long. According to Chrome it's 1.7mb in size. Yeesh. Edit: Note, my wiki-fu is not strong enough to figure out what's going on with this particular page. I quickly got lost in the template soup. :( Ckoerner (talk) 16:41, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
