If no results are shown, no jam occurrences are detected as potentially missing. Please note: this is not a complete list - jams that occur more than once per year will be missed here. Perform manual checks for those jams.

Series now ongoing, needs status update

These jam series are currently listed as "Planned", but at least one of their occurrences has started already. They should be adjusted to an "Ongoing" status.

If no results are shown, no jam series need updating.

Series may be discontinued, needs status update

These jam series' last occurrence began more than a year ago. If there are no publicly-announced plans to run another edition, they should have their status changed to "Discontinued".

If no results are shown, no jam series have been detected as needing updating. However, there may be jams that meet our other criteria for being listed as discontinued.

Troubleshooting

When you make changes to data, it likely won't update everywhere immediately. Semantic MediaWiki caches data to prevent constant calculations from overwhelming the web server. Changes should be reflected across the wiki no later than 24 hours after they're made. You can hurry this process along by visiting relevant pages (such as the jam occurrence, jam series, and stats pages) and adding &action=purge to the browser URL. Do this in order from most specific to most general for best results.

Templates used for jam stats are organized in Category:Jam data templates. The VN jam stats system also relies on Module:Jam leaderboards and Module:Jam series detailed stats. Each template & module has a documentation page that explains what it does & how it works.

User:Ironnori originally created the jam data structures and leaderboards. She is happy to answer questions and assist with troubleshooting, upgrades, or learning how the system works.
