2019 talk:Program List

This list was generated by a bot running two Python scripts, one for parsing the program table and one to generate the wikitext for the list. To make it easier to divide the program by day and to have a single page that could be fully overwritten by the bot, Template:Program List was created and transcluded here.

All this resulted in a program that contained most of the items; some non-session ones (breaks, opening etc.) weren't added. This was because the parsing of the initial program made some assumptions and had some hardcoded values. Some things like missing sessions and wrong times were fixed, but there wasn't time to fix everything.

In hindsight, it would have been better to instead have one computer readable source (not wikitext) from which multiple version of the program could be generated. This way, you only need to worry about updating in place (assuming that all version of the program can listen to changes) and things won't be "lost in translation" when converting between different syntaxes.
