| ==Template:Title==
| |
| Hi, whats the purpose of this template? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 11:28, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :The purpose of this [[Template:Title|template]] is I want to make it more like [http://starwars.wikia.com/ Wookieepedia], and I want to put a "title override" for articles with wrong titles due to technical limitations, like [[R and D TV|R & D TV]].--[[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 23:35, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
| |
| ::Wouldn't match the article name for reference, so the template has been removed. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 23:41, 26 August 2006 (CDT)

| == R&D == | |
| | |
| I don't think we need the skits in two places. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 02:43, 27 August 2006 (CDT)

| ::I've found these R&D skits [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/video/closing/ here]. Should I post them on the [[R and D TV|R&D TV article]]? --[[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 03:00, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
| |
| :::Well we actually do list the skits in RDTV plus on the episode page of the episode in which they appear. They aren't random; I mean they're linked to specific episodes. Kind of like listing the couch gag for a Simpsons episode. --[[User:The Merovingian|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian|E]])</sup> 08:51, 27 August 2006 (CDT)

| | |
| == Verb Tense ==
| |
| See [[BW:SC#Verb_Tense|the standards & coventions regarding verb tense]]. Any of the episodic content should be in the present tense. In the case of TOS, only pre-"Saga of a Star World" events should be in the past tense. If you have any questions about this convetion, please discuss it on the standards and conventions page. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 10:12, 10 September 2006 (CDT)

| | |
| :As SV said. I know that Wookieepedia does things as if matters are historical, but we want to write as if events are ''aways'' happening, just as when you turn on an episode and everything is happening for the first time. This is a writing convention that we and Wikipedia share. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:10, 11 September 2006 (CDT)

| == Translation template ==
| |
| | |
| How does this template actually help with the translation of an article? Except for the translators, no one needs to know that an article is being translated. So I don't really see that it's needed and you seem to be the only one who is really using it. But in any case, you should remove them once you're done and not leave them up for months. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:27, 15 March 2008 (CDT)

| :Because I would like you to set up a Malay wiki. Battlestar Galactica currently airs in Malaysia on 8TV right now. [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 00:11, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
| |
| ::I know, but that doesn't explain what that template is for. After all it says "pages '''being''' translated". Not ones that were translated. It would make far more sense to put such a template on the translated page than the source article to mark them. Someone created it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:47, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
| |
| :::The template is used to encourage people into the [[Battlestar Wiki:Translation Project]]. [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 08:19, 16 March 2008 (CDT)

| | |
| I know it's big. I know our policy. It's a tag huge. I know. Lets just keep it off the character pages. [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 02:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| == Episode articles ==
| |
| | |
| There is no point in creating these episode articles. We only created articles to untitled episodes when there was some actual information about them. Otherwise they can be created one by one as information becomes available. At least don't link to them anywhere, as there is no actual content. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:17, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Since production on the last 10 Season 4 episodes began following the end of the [[WGA strike]] in February 2008, I've created [[412|an episode article on episode 12]] when Ron D. Moore makes his directorial debut. [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 08:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::That's fine. I'm talking about 4x13 to 4x15, for which there's no information. Those articles are just skeletons. It might save a bit of work later on, but they shouldn't be linked to in guides and lists as that implies that there is real content on the pages. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :::Glad to thank me, but don't delete these articles which are skeletons. [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 08:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| ::::Yeah, that would be pointless as we need them later on. I just think that we shouldn't lead people to basically empty articles. When people see that there is a link to "415" or whatever, most will probably think that there is some information about it only to find that there isn't. That's why I removed the link to 413 in the 412 article. When we have some content that link can be added, and the episode can be added to the episode list and the list template. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 08:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :::::But I'd like to keep them and need them as more info on these episodes are available, the 4x13 to 4x20 has been completed, the two episodes comprises of [[Razor]]. [[User:Starkiller|Starkiller]] 08:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

| I thought Malay had [[:ms:|its own wiki]] now? Speaking of which, you'll also have to translate various [[BW:TEM|templates]] to Malay. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 12:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
