Bloom Clock/Maintenance/Updating Keys
< Bloom Clock | Maintenance
The Global-temperate keys should now always be kept updated, particularly for seasons that are currently being actively logged.
Example
editUsing Bloom Clock/Keys/Global/Temperate/Late Spring/Black Flowers:
- 1. go to the bottom of the page and follow the link to the DPL page.
- 2. "Toggle" the DPL by editing, hitting the space bar twice after the template on that page (the mediawiki software caches the DPLs)
- 3. copy the first list (some browsers may pick up the numbers from the second list, so use only the first one)
- 4. go back to the key page and edit. The edit window will show something like this:
{{Bloom clock global key header| | season = Late Spring | flower color = Black | type = | leaf arrangement = | leaf complexity = }} {{:BCP/Rosa }}{{:BCP/Aquilegia x hybrida }}{{:BCP/Iris }}{{:BCP/Viola tricolor }}{{:BCP/Hemerocallis}} {{Bloom clock key footer| | update date (replace with five (5) tildes when updating) = 10:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC) | number of plants = 5 }}
- 5. Replace the old list by pasting the new one in (you can leave the initial bracket and colon and the end brackets to save time):
{{Bloom clock global key header| | season = Late Spring | flower color = Black | type = | leaf arrangement = | leaf complexity = }} {{:BCP/Rosa BCP/Iris BCP/Aquilegia x hybrida BCP/Viola BCP/Hemerocallis BCP/Viola tricolor BCP/Arisaema ringens}} {{Bloom clock key footer| | update date (replace with five (5) tildes when updating) = 10:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC) | number of plants = 5 }}
- 6. Add colons and brackets to each line but the first one, update the count at the bottom, and replace the update date with 5 tildes:
{{Bloom clock global key header| | season = Late Spring | flower color = Black | type = | leaf arrangement = | leaf complexity = }} {{:BCP/Rosa }}{{:BCP/Iris }}{{:BCP/Aquilegia x hybrida }}{{:BCP/Viola }}{{:BCP/Hemerocallis }}{{:BCP/Viola tricolor }}{{:BCP/Arisaema ringens}} {{Bloom clock key footer| | update date (replace with five (5) tildes when updating) = ~~~~~ | number of plants = 7 }}
- 7. Hit save (see diff for this example).
