Forum:Automated Happenings Template

As Zodiaque and I discussed here I think we should find a way to automate the happenings template on the main page since it tends to be weeks out of date. When I updated it today, the manga section was one chapter behind and the anime section was three or four episodes behind. This wouldn't happen if we made it automatically update. 07:05, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Too much automation isn't good, we can easily do it manually, as long as someody cares about it. 08:50, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

The problem is that people (including me) forget and the template gets out of date. Why don't we do a trial run to see if automating it causes any problems. If there are any issues it would be easy to go back to manually updating it. 17:19, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

No one else has anything to add? 00:55, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

I'm no expert in coding, but I think it would be pretty much impossible to automate it. Automation can't account for breaks, etc. 01:15, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

Zodiaque found a way to automate it here. It's not perfect but it looks like it's possible since the template only needs the most recent chapter and episode. 02:37, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
