Introduction

[edit]

Zinnia is a comprehensive anti-vandalism application actively developed by Plantaest. The goal of Zinnia is to be a superior version to RecentChanges and Twinkle, as well as similar tools.

The idea for Zinnia has been brewing for years during my involvement in the Vietnamese Wikipedia.

In September 2022, Prototype 1 of Zinnia was implemented. However, this prototype had several issues and was ultimately scrapped.

In March 2023, I proceeded with Prototype 2 of Zinnia. This was a relatively complete prototype and an important precursor to Prototype 3. Due to complexity issues, Prototype 2 was also abandoned.

Information about Prototype 1 and 2 can be found on this page: vi:User:Plantaest/Zinnia/Prototype 1 & 2 (in Vietnamese).

In April 2024, after a busy period with other commitments, I returned to the project and implemented Prototype 3, which is also the official version of Zinnia.

Zinnia is scheduled to be released on the Vietnamese Wikipedia on 20 January, 2025, and on the English Wikipedia on 10 February, 2025.
