No lead?
I expect articles to have a "lead" paragraph prior to the table of contents on the page. (I'm not sure if this is a product of the template used to start pages; that might be inadvertently resulting in this...) Madprime (talk) 13:47, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's a result of the template where the form data goes all either into the info-box or below the ToC. I'll move the first bits manually above the ToC as a lede. - Gedankenstuecke (talk) 08:45, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
2. Saving all data in local time of recording
This is not an option; if something goes wrong with timezone the local time data is fricasseed or will require lots of debugging but UTC does not let this happen. The more a person is a health tracker the more its likely that they have geographic location in their stack or at least a good source for TZ. More over converting to local time has next to no purpose; QSers track their sleep, and those that care have devices that track their lumens exposure. Those that care about weather use either a weather station or geographic location. There is no point in converting to UTC unless its editing some manual entry within an hour. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1883:_Supervillain_Plan Avoid companies that export dates and time in local time as many other bugs will certainly crop up.
