Issue #2
- admin
- I don't consider this as critical issue, because date is not present in the original article (readers can't see it). So it's just an internal value.
- Accepted by admin
- Date is obligatory. If the date is in the article's source, then it must be included in the IV.

- Website creators removed the publication date from URL, <meta> and any other corresponding place in sources of /speciale/ pages for many reasons. My template displays dates on webnews.it properly. They're missing only on /speciale/ pages, like on the website.
/speciale/ pages are used for Wikipedia-like articles, static advertisements and article collections. Displaying creation date on such pages is misleading, because it means nothing for them: such pages can be edited significantly or completely rewritten at any time in future and for IV readers it will look like "some very old article", while they meant to be shared forever. It's like diplaying the creation date for Wikipedia pages.
There's only a single and unclear mention of the date in article's source, which Giovanni uses. It's in a <script> used for Google Tag Manager, which has absolutely no guarantee to represent the actual publication date: it's up to website creator to pass any value to Google API for internal purposes.

- These "/speciale/" articles do not seem like wiki pages. The dates for these articles are also shown here:
http://www.webnews.it/speciale/
So it seems that the dates are relevant and that template 18 handles them better.
- Type of issue
- IV page is missing essential content
- Reported
- Jun 17, 2017
The published date can be found deep in the source of the page.
