Request for Change of Holocaust Projectbox and Sticker
Changes to the Holocaust Projectbox and Sticker have become necessary because currently they give different results and the Sticker gives incorrect results with some parameters.
Changes
- Rephrasing of generated texts
- To avoid stating details not covered by supplied parameter values
- To eliminate use of "they"/"them" for an individual
- Customized text
- New parameter to specify "best fit" text overriding standard text
- No more adding of category because
- Sometimes multiple categories are needed
- Specifying a new category may go unnoticed, in contrast to using the category picker
- Project page has instructions to manually add categories
- Identical function of Projectbox and Sticker
- No reason for different functions
- Facilitates easy converting of Projectbox to Sticker and vice versa
- Paramter type
- For clarity changed from positional to keywords (fate=, text=)
- Documentation
- New version implementing changes listed above
Functional specification
