Wondering if an adjustment of the ordering based on the dates in which an event occurs would be more logical, rather than alphabetical. This is due to the fact that most events are one-off rather than annual, especially the available rewards. While some mice might be released on an annual basis (ie [[Elf]], [[Hollowhead]]), that does not make it the same event. Let me know your thoughts on this. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 05:32, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

:I agree that the chronological order makes more sense. However, it's already sorted by date, rather than alphabetical. It's sorted from the earliest to latest; but maybe the reverse chronological (from latest to earliest) would be best, and more like everywhere else in the Wiki. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 15:18, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Events have been defined as occasions when Event mice are released. Accordingly I have removed two weekend non-events (because no Event mice were released during those weekends). On the other hand, we should look into adding the Ronza's visit in 2009 because it was accompanied by the release of Rockstar mice (even though they weren't in Ronza's shop, but various other locations). Now the definition of an event can be changed, if we discuss it and come up with a different one; but for now those weekends don't qualify, and Ronza 2009 may. -- [[User:Camomiletea|camomiletea]] 04:32, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
