If space is the problem, maybe some alternative layout would work, or archiving the information into subpages every few months. --Knon 21:41, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Some of it is space, some of it is repetition (is it really necessary to know the page was updated 5 times in the last two weeks?). I prefer for people to glance through and see the relevant details in a concise, clear format. What are the benefits of maintaining individual entry archives? --randomanon 23:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I see this page first as a quick view on the newest updates, but also as something that would become a sort of timeline of activity. There's barely two months of updates right now, so everything is recent, but this won't be the case in a couple of months. So it would be a matter of knowing how the updates were distributed throughout the month. Having everything under November or December seems too general. I don't see how it would make it less concise or clear when it would only affect the past information, which should be known already if someone checks somewhat regularly. --Knon 05:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- It might turn out to be convenient someday. For formatting, something like this wouldn't take up much space: (the month is kind of redundant but makes it obvious it's a date) KM 06:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

- I guess I'm still not seeing how it would benefit a wiki user to see more detailed entries. The intent of this page is an easy way for someone who doesn't visit the wiki often to catch up with changes with the document pages, with a minimal amount of effort. It really won't matter to a user if a particular change happened on Dec 12th vs. early December etc. Recent changes suffices for someone who wants to know exactly what was done on what date. I should point out too that the date of the entry is often not always when it occurs. For example, there may be updates Jan 1 and Jan 4. Jan 4 may include changes that actually occurred on 2nd and 3rd as well as the 4th. So the dates given are inexact to begin with...which is why I wouldn't get too attached to them. --randomanon 07:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
