Updating wikipedia for a new Dart SDK release

Kathy Walrath edited this page Feb 4, 2022 · 2 revisions

Here's how to update the stable release info in the Dart Wikipedia page:

  1. In the box at the right of the page, click the pencil next to the Stable release number.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the software version identifier section, and click + add value.
    If it tells you to log into Wikidata, you can do that at the top of the page.
  3. In the text field that comes up, enter the release number.
    Example: 2.16.0
  4. Click + add qualifier, choose publication date, and add the date.
    Example: 3 February 2022
  5. Click + add reference, choose reference URL, and set it to the URL of to the tagged release.
    Example: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/releases/tag/2.16.0
  6. Now make the new release be displayed:
    1. To the left of the release number is an icon like a tiny scrollbar. Click the top triangle to select it.
    2. In the icon to the left of the previous release number, click the circle to select it.

Note: Some releases (2.13.3, for example), have more fields in the reference, such as retrieved, title, & publication date. I don’t know whether these matter.
