Changes: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Wiki:Placeholder names/Thumbnails

Revision as of 16:19, 9 July 2013

List of latest /r/listofponies polls (back six months, see discussion), parsed from page code, as of 15:07, July 6, 2013 (UTC). Should eventually turn into a new version of the thumbnails list, see below.

To do

These need to be sorted into a page and gallery format using the current structure of Project:Placeholder names/Thumbnails. There can also be a "Fan favorites" section.

Once done, merge the page histories (delete target page, move this there, restore all revisions), unprotect the page so anyone can update it, any other final cleanup. Change level three headings to level 2.

Possible categories:

Fan favorites (popular polls; determine this by informal survey?)
Undecided polls
Speaking role polls (characters who had speaking roles in the show)
Canterlot ponies

Planned page

This page contains all the ponies up for placeholder name vote on /r/listofponies in the last six months, oldest to newest in each section. See the list of ponies for links to all polls sortable by various attributes.To learn more about the voting process, go here.

List to be sorted

Updating

Lists should be sorted in chronological order (newest last?): the six-character string after /comments/ in each URL is a chronological base-36(?) number. When looking at the list of polls, anything on this page lower than the last poll saying "6 months ago" should be removed and any new polls should be added. It may be helpful to keep track of the marking points to aid in updating.

Newest: 1hq5ax
Oldest: 156ptt

List of polls

Please remove polls from this list as they are added to the "Planned page" section. This is separated into blocks of 25 with newest polls at the top of the list.

Function

Used from this list. Also, Reddit needs moar line breaks.

def reddit(page):
	i, start = 0, 0
	while i < 25:
		start = page.find('href="', page.find('<span class="rank"', start)) + 6
		end = page.find('"', start)
		url = 'http://www.reddit.com' + page[start:end]
		desc = page[page.find('>', end) + 1 : page.find('<', end)]
		print('*[' + url + ' ' + desc + ']')
		start = end
		i += 1
