| I don't visit the blog as much as I maybe ought to (there's a couple of rather relevent posts up), but I had the idea that we could add a blog box to the main page. The icon link would take you to the blog, and the content of the box would consist of a (javascript or somesuch) RSS feed of the latest X postings. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:48, 20 December 2006 (CST)

| ==Universal HD Season 3 Premiere==
| |
| Hey, I read here [http://www.radosh.net/archive/2006_09_01_radosh_archive.html] that Universal HD will premiere Season 3 on January 7th. I don't know if it's a reliable source, but I know some of you might be able to find the official info better than I do, so I just wanted to mention it since we always put when episodes have their first run on HD. Damn, I can't wait to see the screencaps! --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 02:46, 21 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| :Considering that it airs in the UK in HD on the 9th its highly likely that you yanks will demand to have it in HD before us. If I was going to put money on it i'd say the rumors are correct. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:19, 21 December 2006 (CST)

| ::Well I'm glad that either way we'll be getting High Resolution Screencaps soon....by all that is good, I salivate at the thought of them (No, not literally). Anyways, I think it is, because the other day I heard was the 27th, but that's not a Sunday, while the 7th is, so my bet is on that. --[[User:Sauron18|Sauron18]] 04:34, 21 December 2006 (CST)
| |
| :::I have a brand new Dish Network HD-DVR. I have done some research and it seems like it gonna cost me $500 to $700 to do screen caps. Am I missing something cheaper? I found [http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/ this], but since it uses a PCIe slot I would have to upgrade MB, cpu, memory to make it work.

| |
| [[User:koenigrules |Koenigrules]] is reporting on [http://galacticastation.com/Ragnar_Anchorage/index.php?showtopic=6757&st=0&#entry1327003 Ragnar Anchorage] that BSG will be renewed for at 13 episodes and a 2-hour movie between seasons, possibly direct to DVD. Expect an announcement soon because the "drop-dead" date on the actors' contracts is Feb. 18. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 19:14, 10 February 2007 (CST)

| == A BSG Set Visit ==
| |
|
| |
| Someone posted this set [http://garfieldridge.typepad.com/garfieldridge/2007/03/two_days_of_coo.html visit] with some technical details and photos which may be of some use for the wiki, especially info about CIC. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 22:19, 9 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| : Very cool. Definitely useful stuff here. Non related to the whole "what the sets look like thing", I find the whole RFK thing interesting, and it should be noted in EJO's article. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 23:30, 9 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| :Awesome article. There is really some nice wiki stuff there. Like the CIC layout. Possibly the duty locker picture. But since when does CIC mean "COMMAND Information Center"? I thought the first C stood for "combat" (as in real life), that some other doors are really labeled as such. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:02, 10 March 2007 (CST)
| |
| ::TPTB changed the name, but not on some of the items from the miniseries set pieces. It should be noted on the [[CIC]] page. I heavily updated that page with stills from a QuickTime 3D view of the set, but there's now a manual shown in one shot that shows a breakdown of the engineering and navigation areas. Don't read too deeply in that same diagram though; the filler text is from a Space Shuttle launch procedure. I didn't see a whole lot of technical stuff, but there's a joyous amount of behind the scenes stuff that can help in filling those pages. -[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 07:12, 10 March 2007 (CST)

| == Quote of Today (5th May) ==
| |
|
| |
| The quote of the day is incorrect in linking war to [[Cylon War]]. Rosilin was referring to the decisive victory the Cylons had just won, i.e. the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. [[User:OTW|OTW]] 13:19, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

| :Fixed. I just removed the link as it's not really necessary. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 14:01, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

| == QotD edit link ==
| |
|
| |
| I'd like to add an Edit link for the Quote of the Day to the [[Main Page]], but since it's locked (with good reason), I can't do it myself. Here's the edit that needs to be made:

| |
| }}[[Battlestar Wiki:Quotes/Current Week|View quotes for the current week]]
| |
| </small></div>
| |
| </nowiki></pre>
| |
|
| |
| For an existent quote, this renders:
| |
| <div class="plainlinks" align="right"><small>
| |
| {{#ifexist:Main Page|[{{fullurl:Quotes:{{CURRENTMONTH}}_{{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit}} Edit this quote] -
| |

| :It would be no problem to add it, but you can just click on the BSG seal to the left of the "Quote of the Day" headline. I don't think that's too much work. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 14:16, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
| ::Hmm, I never noticed that before. I think an edit link (or a v-d-e thingy [[Template:RDM cylons series|like this]]) would still be better, as it's not clear to everyone that you have to click the image (it wasn't to me until you told me). --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:24, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
