Bloom Clock/Maintenance/Updating Keys

The Global-temperate keys should now always be kept updated, particularly for seasons that are currently being actively logged.

Example

Using Bloom Clock/Keys/Global/Temperate/Late Spring/Black Flowers:

1. go to the bottom of the page and follow the link to the DPL page.

2. "Toggle" the DPL by editing, hitting the space bar twice after the template on that page (the mediawiki software caches the DPLs)

3. copy the first list (some browsers may pick up the numbers from the second list, so use only the first one)

4. go back to the key page and edit. The edit window will show something like this:

{{Bloom clock global key header|
| season = Late Spring
| flower color = Black
| type = 
| leaf arrangement = 
| leaf complexity = 
}}

{{:BCP/Rosa
}}{{:BCP/Aquilegia x hybrida
}}{{:BCP/Iris
}}{{:BCP/Viola tricolor
}}{{:BCP/Hemerocallis}}

{{Bloom clock key footer|
| update date (replace with five (5) tildes when updating) = 10:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
| number of plants = 5
}}

5. Replace the old list by pasting the new one in (you can leave the initial bracket and colon and the end brackets to save time):

{{Bloom clock global key header|
| season = Late Spring
| flower color = Black
| type = 
| leaf arrangement = 
| leaf complexity = 
}}

{{:BCP/Rosa
BCP/Iris
BCP/Aquilegia x hybrida
BCP/Viola
BCP/Hemerocallis
BCP/Viola tricolor
BCP/Arisaema ringens}}

{{Bloom clock key footer|
| update date (replace with five (5) tildes when updating) = 10:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
| number of plants = 5
}}

6. Add colons and brackets to each line but the first one, update the count at the bottom, and replace the update date with 5 tildes:

{{Bloom clock global key header|
| season = Late Spring
| flower color = Black
| type = 
| leaf arrangement = 
| leaf complexity = 
}}

{{:BCP/Rosa
}}{{:BCP/Iris
}}{{:BCP/Aquilegia x hybrida
}}{{:BCP/Viola
}}{{:BCP/Hemerocallis
}}{{:BCP/Viola tricolor
}}{{:BCP/Arisaema ringens}}

{{Bloom clock key footer|
| update date (replace with five (5) tildes when updating) = ~~~~~
| number of plants = 7
}}

7. Hit save (see diff for this example).
