	:::I would be fine with your going ahead with the changes... except for the episode pages, as moving the overview above the TOC there appears quite disconcerting, in my view.

	:::: I agree with BP. I prefer not saying "Here's an introduction:". It's kind of like, "Can I ask you a question?" No need to introduce the introduction. ~~Peter~~ and I had gone through a handful of pages a long time ago and written introductions, or moved stuff up to make an intro paragraph. I think it might have been characters mostly, but I honestly can't remember. Maybe I dreamed it. Anyway, I went and played with Lay Down Your Burdens, Pt. 1 (since the link was handy) and, at least in preview mode, I think I like the overview to have no header and appear above the TOC. However, I acknowledge that others might disagree, so maybe we should have a vote, singling out Episode pages. If you're really wanting to get going on doing a lot of these edits, BP, I'd say start with non-Episode pages until we get that sorted. Lord knows there's plenty of 'em. --[[User:Day\|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day\|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard\|Admin]])</sup> 23:15, 24 June 2006 (CDT)		:::: I agree with BP.

	::This is a simple issue. The comics are canon within their own continuity. Where they interesect the main continuity in a purely perfunctory manner (such as [[Zak Adama]]), it should be fine to footnote the incident. When large liberties are taken, we can resort to namespaced articles as necessary. --[[User:April Arcus\|April Arcus]] 19:43, 2 June 2006 (CDT)		::This is a simple issue.

	:::I concur with ~~Peter~~ on this. I really loved the first issue, but what happens in the comic may not necessarily reflect what's aired in the main series and should be labeled or tagged as such. I'm even OK with using the episode template to further define its continuity (which forces "episode" pages to delineate things) and we already have all the tools, and it also invites discussion. I may move this first comic page to this format just to kill several birds with one stone about this topic to show what I mean. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 17:59, 4 June 2006 (CDT)		:::I concur with April on this.

	::: Then we need to define what a "large liberty" is so that we know it when we see it. I'd be fine including these events as full cannon if someone can show me RDM saying it's cool. Otherwise, we might take a hint from Lucasarts and develop a kind of "level" of cannonicity, or else treat the comic kind of liek the video game: strangely related in some ways, but not really... right. If you take my meaning. If not, I'll try to explain again. --[[User:Day\|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day\|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard\|Admin]])</sup> 23:16, 2 June 2006 (CDT)		::: Then we need to define what a "large liberty" is so that we know it when we see it.

	::::Hm. Good point, and Merv's concern makes more sense to me in terms of the edits on [[Timeline (RDM)]].

This is how well I recall the event. Anyway, I think the above, just as it's written, would be awesome. Does anyone think we should note that the Miniseries doesn't get quotes because it's not a title (not because it's the first in the list), or shall we trust people to glean that?
