@ZhaoFJx I added a Wikidata-based approach for Category:2026, thanks!

We created a Toolforge tool to get a list of users who were linked on meetup pages or marked as publicly attending Event namespace pages, here: https://usernames.toolforge.org/scrape

List of publicly-accessible usernames of people who attended or declined WMNYC events here: https://discord.com/channels/819432579013935125/1439005063069827203/1444784295196753930

I've also noticed this issue, and I have had to re-write my implementations to not use pipe characters in https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z12711 and https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Z14212

To be complete, it might also be worth including optional precision of up to a one-thousandth of a second as well, used as the standard in the case of tiebreakers (for example see pjmorse's coment here). I don't think we will ever need greater than three decimal places worth of accuracy for athletics, though.
