Description

https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mod%C3%A8le:Chronologie_de_l%27exploration_de_Mars&oldid=175368696 has the following issue: in the legends, "Orbiteur et atterrisseur" appears twice:

The cause is

id:Orbiteur    value:skyblue legend:Orbiteur
id:Atterrisseur value:yellow legend:Atterrisseur
id:Rover   value:brightgreen  legend:Rover
id:Retour   value:lightpurple legend:Retour-échantillon
id:Mixte value:orange legend:Orbiteur_et_atterrisseur

where one has "legend:Orbiteur" and "legend:Orbiteur_et_atterrisseur". If the text of the latter legend starts with "Orbiteur", the former legend is replaced by the latter one. This issue is temporarily avoided by adding " " before "Orbiteur_et_atterrisseur", i.e.: "legend: Orbiteur_et_atterrisseur".

Disregard - wrong ticket number

This seems to be an upstream Ploticus bug that can't be fixed in EasyTimeline itself, and upstream is abandonware, so sigh.

Restoring Upstream tag and unstalling since Ploticus is apparently still being maintained by someone at Debian even if the original maintainers have abandoned it: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ploticus shows semi-active commit activity,
