Sub-projects that used to have metrics and companies in them (and research completed) are now empty. Going into the history I can see there has been some Wikirate Bot activity (19 days ago) so maybe that has something to do with it..?

It would be great if we could somehow get those metrics and companies back. If there is no "return to earlier copy" solution, we could also add them again by hand.. but that would be a bummer.

 

I looked in the database at all cards (in and out of the trash) starting with "Johns Hopkins". The only +Company or +Metric cards pertain to this project: Johns Hopkins University Modern Slavery Act Research.

 

The bot activity was all about +description cards and wouldn't have touched these. However, the trash was emptied around that time, so if someone had already deleted these cards, they may have gotten permanently deleted. If you are highly confident that these Projects used to have companies and metrics in them, we can go open up an old site backup and look for it. But be warned: if we look and it's not there, you risk tauntery ;)

Haha I think you might be on to something ;) Going through the student guidance, I find we directed students to the parent project of these two sub-projects.. so it's possible that we created the sub-projects after we did the research.

In other words, taunt away ;)

You didn't make me look. Taunting avoided.
