What kind of behavioural activity would apply?

[edit]

What kinds of behaviour do you intend to capture here? And why would it not be part of a Wikipedia article? What is the purpose of the timeline? I am not sure that "behaviour" is something that would be captured by a timeline. Risker (talk) 23:57, 30 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I would intend to capture behaviors of as many subjects as possible. The (Main) namespace would document the current behavior. An encyclopia cannot have behaviors of subjects. The 'Timeline' namespace shows all the historical behaviors of the subject. Faster than Thunder (talk) 19:47, 31 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
What, in your opinion, constitutes the behaviour of article subjects? Risker (talk) 19:54, 31 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
For example, the behavior of countries, people, companies, and groups would apply. Faster than Thunder (talk) 00:09, 5 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
You have yet to define what kinds of "behaviour" you think would be covered here; when I ask you what constitutes behaviour, you answer with "behaviour". Tautology isn't helpful here. All the templates and the rules in the world won't help if you can't clearly explain what information would be collected in this project. Risker (talk) 00:21, 5 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Faster than Thunder, try this: pick a country, a person, and a company (I'll throw out "w:en:United Kingdom," "w:en:George Washington," and "w:en:Google" as ideas, but don't feel constrained to those). Tell us specific examples of what their "wikihavior" pages could contain. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:28, 5 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
The United Kingdom article would say:
The United Kingdom has given France an ultimatum in the fishing dispute between the two countries. If the French do not back down within 48 hours, the government in London will go to court, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Monday.<ref>[https://www.tellerreport.com/business/2021-11-01-uk-threatens-legal-action-against-france-in-fishing-dispute.rJzaoempIK.html] - Tell report</ref> — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Faster than Thunder (talk)
The project would capture behaviors of people, companies, countries, governments, and more behaviors. Faster than Thunder (talk) 04:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
