Calculational Errors?

Not sure how the age is calculated, but last I checked 2008 - 1966 was 42, not 38... --Thomcat 17:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Thomcat, might you be trying to use a date format other than YYYY-MM-DD? If not, can you paste the code you tried to use below inside <code>...</code> tags so that I can look into it? Thanks. --Tim P 21:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Category:Geohashers

Imho, [[Category:Geohashers]] should be taken off this template. It will potentially cause a clutter on the category page, and is somewhat redundant with Special:Listusers. On the other hand, [[Category:Geohashers in {{{lat}}},{{{lon}}}]] seems pretty useful, I propose [[Category:Geohashers by graticule]] for sorting these, similar to [[Category:Geohashers]] by location. Even better: automatically transclude the list of geohashers in the graticule onto the graticule page. --r0d3n7z 18:54, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Category:Geohashers by Sex

I think this template could be used to fill in a Geohashers by Sex category (or would that scare off all the Fs?). While we're at it, maybe also a Geohashers by Age. -- Moose Hole 00:10, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok I put in the gender category. The age one needs a conditional for the birthdate thing, so I'll have to figure out exactly how that works I guess. -- Moose Hole 19:06, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed it for now, as I don't think such a two-group division is necessary. Category:Geohashers groups together everyone with {{asg}, while the graticule categories group together by logical geographical means. Age might indeed be nice (if lumped into larger groups), but I just don't think a gender category is politically correct in this day and age, nor is it overly practical. --Tim P 19:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. We should have an algorithm that converts birthdates to age, and also groups age into groups, probably decades would be most convenient for grouping. -- Moose Hole 19:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
