Thanks, I might need to correct that statement.


True. Although there is the timestamp on the website and the one on HN.


I think timestamps are even more important in that case.


Which timestamp is relevant on the body of a Wikipedia article that has been maintained for 15 years, with edits ranging from entire new sections being written to minor corrections of grammatical errors.


All of them, which his why Wikipedia maintains an edit history.

At the very least you should provide the inital publish date and last update.


Doesn't provide an edit history in the article, though.


That was my problem with the article about nix. I wouldn’t have read it if it was 10 years old (and probably out of date).


I think everyone should use ISO 8601.

And if you are using something else, especially if it’s something like XX-XX-XX, specify what you mean by that!


I prefer RFC3339, specifically:

> NOTE: ISO 8601 defines date and time separated by "T". Applications using this syntax may choose, for the sake of readability, to specify a full-date and full-time separated by (say) a space character.


I don’t think it is even possible to display the full URL by default in Safari on iOS.


I don’t know which model you have, but on mine you wouldn’t even have the space to display more than a 5-6 characters after the domain name.


Funnily, the post's example.of https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/02/28/some-notes-on-using-nix/ means I can see clearly the date and nothing more in my Firefox/Android URL bar

I didn’t write much yet and what I wrote is in German.
