Battlestar Wiki talk:Quotes

Nice work on this page, everyone! It will make it easier to get things set up in advance. Spencerian 10:55, 18 October 2005 (EDT)

I concur. Now it's time to start talking standardization. --Day 12:53, 18 October 2005 (EDT)

Please review Quotes list to avoid repetition

Now that Day and others have worked hard to form a locale where past quotes can be stored, please check this article before you add a quote. The darn "opening narrative" to the Mini-Series has been done at least 3 times now, and I think I'm hearing it in my dreams. Check online transcripts for some nifty quotes, and add away. Just remember that popular quotes, like Adama's announcement of the attack, Six's identity speech...they've been done. Find more unique ones before we start repeating. --Spencerian 13:10, 15 November 2005 (EST)

Too long

This page is quite long, and getting longer. Are people happy how it is, or should we have seperate pages for each month, or divide it some other way? --Undc23 07:04, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Having seperate pages for each month is probably the best. -- Joe Beaudoin 08:18, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Project Url

Instead of Quotes, shouldn't this be Battlestar_Wiki:Quotes with a shortcut of QOD? --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 18:15, 20 March 2006 (CST)

Yes and no. I'll explain later... -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 13:08, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

Quotes namespace

I've implemented the "Quotes" namespace. Therefore, from now on, please use Quotes:04 9 instead of Template:Quote of the Day/04 9. (Of course, as a result, moves from the Template namespace for the current quotes are in order....) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 13:08, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

I moved the templates over to the Quotes namespace, and updates the main page to drive off of the new namespace as well. Should I we go ahead and delete the "quotes" templates now? --Steelviper 10:43, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Yes, all quotes in the template namespace should be executed on sight. Whether by airlock or beheading, it doesn't matter to me. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 10:53, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Whoosh! Down the turboflush and out to wherever that goes. The template namespace is considerably tidier. --Steelviper 14:30, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Is this really the optimum way of doing it? Couldnt we just make some kind of database and script to pull off a quote from a big list of them. Rather than having to manually set one up each day? Or is that not really in the spirit of a wiki? --Mercifull 18:23, 13 April 2006 (CDT)

I am one who who not want to touch the db. 2) it's on the template name space. Yikes! 3) It's the fun of the Wiki! :) --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 18:40, 13 April 2006 (CDT)

I think these are all done now. All new quotes should now go in the Quotes namespace. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 22:13, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

April

I'm about to start April, which I expect may break the quotes on the main page briefly (though the redirect created by the "Move" may cover it). Either way, I'll update the main page to reference the quotes namespace after I'm done with April, and we'll be good. (And we'll just have to get the dates after April converted over to the Quotes namespace). --Steelviper 08:20, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

GJ Steel. :D --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 22:12, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

Namespace Perk

Once of the nice things about the quotes being in their own namespace? They're easier to search. When checking to see if a quote is a duplicate entry, I just enter a key word, and do the advanced search, limiting the search to the quotes namespace. Any hits mean a possible duplicate, and no hits means I should be in the clear. Neat! I suppose it would also make searching the podcasts easier now that they have a namespace too (if anybody actually reads/searches those). --Steelviper 15:06, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

Correctness

shouldn't it be Quotations? quote is a verb. --Deadlygopher 07:56, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
