	Just so it's out there.. ~~his~~ suggestion is that we rename the template(s) ([[:Category:RDM_Release_Date_Templates]] and [[:Category:RDM_Broadcast_Date_Templates]]) to have the county code in it, so we can display all the airtime for the particular episodes. {{tl\|Episode Airtime Data}} is the template that "shows" all the data -- plus it's sub-templates -- and {{tl\|Episode Release Date}} is the template that formats out the template itself. In the long run, I will be able to migrate this over to the Media wiki and the {{tl\|Episode Airtime Data}} box would be migrated over inside the [[:md:Template:Master screencap\|Template:Master screencap]] and [[:md:Template:Master audio\|Template:Master audio]]. An area of example is over on my sub testing page.. [[User:Shane/Testing Area\|here]].

	::That would probably be the best solution, all around. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]]</sup> 05:03, 4 May 2007 (CDT)		::That would probably be the best solution, all around. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.\|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support\|Donate]]</sup> 05:03, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

	== ~~Peter~~'s Idea ==		== April's Idea ==

	Just so it's out there.. ~~his~~ suggestion is that we rename the template(s) ([[:Category:RDM_Release_Date_Templates]] and [[:Category:RDM_Broadcast_Date_Templates]]) to have the county code in it, so we can display all the airtime for the particular episodes. {{tl\|Episode Airtime Data}} is the template that "shows" all the data -- plus it's sub-templates -- and {{tl\|Episode Release Date}} is the template that formats out the template itself. In the long run, I will be able to migrate this over to the Media wiki and the {{tl\|Episode Airtime Data}} box would be migrated over inside the [[:md:Template:Master screencap\|Template:Master screencap]] and [[:md:Template:Master audio\|Template:Master audio]]. An area of example is over on my sub testing page.. [[User:Shane/Testing Area\|here]].

	::Looks good. The only suggestion I have to make is that you make the main headers US, UK and Other, and make DE, NL, etc. children of Other.
