    This should probably be split across the separate entities of the Republic of Serbia, and Serbia and Montenegro, but currently the Prime Minister of Serbia item spans all of these.

  • PositionHolderHistory not updating

    I noticed that PositionHolderHistory doesn’t seem to have been updating the data tables automatically since around the start of February. I believe this is supposed to happen via a Toolforge cronjob, but something there seems to have gone awry. This means that many of the calculations we were making have been based on out of date reports. I’ve gone through each of the report pages, manually triggered a re-run/re-build, and updated our scoring where anything has changed. This probably affected around a third of the scores: many in fairly minor ways, but some quite significantly. Uruguay, for example, rose from 49% to 83%.

    I’ve raised the issue on the tool’s Talk page, so that hopefully it gets fixed. In the meantime I’ll need to remember to re-generate existing pages before calculating the score.

    This one is a little more complicated, with changes in which office is the Head of Government, and also a period where it was a joint office.

  • Scoring: Georgia

    Here, not only does the item for Georgia not know that the State Minister was the Head of Government from 1995–2004, but the State Minister item itself is almost completely bare.
