We certainly appreciate people stepping up to keep things up to date. 
Wikis seem particularly prone to bitrot anyway, and depend on motivated 
editors; it's probably a bad idea to include a date, since an update to 
an entry a few years ago doesn't mean the item itself has gone stale - 
and often also entry itself hasn't gone stale. Perhaps we should change 
the column heading to "Entry Updated" or some such to make it slightly 
less murky.  Certainly there's not anything about the PyCharm entry 
that's invalid despite it being marked 2018.

We need a wiki name to add you as an editor - was that supposed to be 
HarryParker ?
