This page is generated dynamically from the Show pages, pulling in all included data in the == Music == sections


The new Airdate template still needs to be populated for each most shows. it looks like:
<pre>{{Airdate|airdate=1979-01-26}}
or
{{Airdate|airdate=1979}} when we only have the year
or
{{Airdate|airdate=1979-10}} when we only have the year & month
This Airdate will be displayed in the parentheses to the right of the show title.
</pre>
The list is sorted by a new Category: Show_by_date, which looks like this:
<pre>[[Category:Show_by_date|19790126]]</pre> (More on that below).
For sorting shows where we only have broadcast years I will use the month 00 and the day number will be the sequence we want them to appear in, reflecting Richard's FAQ.
so:<br>
Middle Of Nowhere Part 1 Show_by_date= 1987'''00'''04<br>
Middle Of Nowhere Part 2 Show_by_date= 1987'''00'''05<br>
Middle Of Nowhere Part 3 Show_by_date= 1987'''00'''06<br>
Will present them in order, in 1987
For those few shows that we know year and month but not day I will use year-month-00, with 00 for the day.<br>
So: Summer Pledge Drive 1987 Show_by_date = 198708'''00'''
This will allow us to sort using the Show_by_date category without putting actual incorrect dates in for shows. Where ever we don't know the exact date, either the day or month will be 00.
A smarter man would do a regex search-and-replace on the Show_by_date to create the needed Airdate code, but I am going to enter them manually so as to not blow anything up.
The Dynamic Page List module is finicky, so I had to remove all trailing spaces from the wikicode, ie
<pre> {{Sex (The Necks) }}
has to be :
{{Sex (The Necks)}}
</pre>
html comments on their own line and extra CRs at the end of the == Music == section also effect how it displays here.
Additional work to be done includes hiding the <s>footnotes and</s> Category listing at the bottom of the page.
