Introduced with Arma 3 version Dev – Category talk

Dev Branch Version Tracking

Currently we have this page: DEV
With each dev version having it's own subcategory, which later gets deleted like so: -wrong parameter ("arma3dev") defined!-[[:Category:Introduced with arma3dev version 1.35|1.35]]

I'd like to propose a different system:

1. We instead have only one category specifically for the development branch, no numbering. That means anything in the dev branch and not yet in the stable branch would be tagged with it.
2. Then when features are moved into the stable branch they can simply updated to the relevant stable branch number.

This seems more efficient and also provides a centralized page of things currently not in the stable branch. --SilentSpike (talk) 19:34, 14 December 2014 (CET)

Well, this is how it was done before. Then we added in version number support. If we just say dev then we could lose track of when it was introduced. As it stands, version subcategories are easy to hide once they have been cleared of pages. It takes no more work. you simply clear the category page and add {{Delete|Reason for deletion}}. You still have a category that shows all the intro versions of pending dev features. I don't see how this is a problem. In either situation it requires the same effort. Dev branch has versions too. I don't see why we shouldnt treat it the same as stable. I would also like to add that it provides a little history on when it was first introduced. The only way I would agree is if we meet half way. We would still input version, but it would end up in one category. That way we still have one list to look at while displaying appropriate version in detail. I wish there were a way that we could display all commands in one category, but still seperate them by version.--Benargee (talk) 20:50, 14 December 2014 (CET)
