Apparently no Open Thread was created this week yet. I guess it makes sense to make this one span two weeks. Or does that break some automation here or there?
Ah, but there’s no automation. Only people creating Open thread out of their own good will! I still think Open threads should be weekly… if nobody has created one, you can create one following the customs...
I know that they are not created automatically. But I wondered whether they are used (indexed, listed,...) in some automatic way that depends on the title or one post per week.
I’m still seeing it, and it is tag-based, I believe. Changing the name seems to have made the links somewhat weird, though (it looks like both open_thread_march_14_march_20_2016 and open_thread_march_21_march_27 _2016 might work?).
Oh, it shows up on /r/discussion/new, but not on /r/all/recentposts.
Weird. I used to have a page that would redirect you to the latest open thread, finding it through the sidebar API. I took it down a month or so back because the API had vanished, but now it’s apparently back.
The important part of the URL of this thread is /nf7/. The stuff after that is intended for human use, you can replace it arbitrarily.
Meta discussion goes here

The title is a duplicate of this post, if you really think this open thread is late. Alternatively, it is ~12 hours early.
I did check for that. Anyway. I renamed it to 21st to 27th
confused. Douglas_knight is right. I am going to treat this as the 21st->27th open thread; you should change the title.
Exactly. We should PM Gunnar, or create another thread entirely.
Renamed to 21-27th.

IIRC the sidebar used to have a link to the latest open thread, which I think was based on the open_thread tag. That seems to have vanished now.

Good to know!
