This noticeboard is a location to discuss and coordinate administrative tasks for the Battlestar Wiki.

It is our hope that this place can serve as a location for administrators to coordinate their efforts on the maintenance tasks of the Wiki (it's not ALL fun and games), as well as a spot for our contributors to be able to bring things to the attention of the admins if something needs to be done. Need a protected page edited? An article or picture deleted? Admins will watchlist this page so that your request won't get lost in the shuffle.

Season Data Boxes

I was just thinking, it would be really cool if we had a special data box for each season, similar to the data boxes we have for each episode. We can put in the number of episodes, the release data, dvd information, a season chronology for quick access to other seasons, and even things like SciFi Pulse links to teaser trailers. We could have links to the List of Podcasts page with # signs for each season, as well as the season R&D skit pages, and if we're really ambitious we can create staff pages that list all the various staff for each season and link it there. It could also be a way to bring the links to the episode guides (the list guide and the summary guide) to the top. We could have a spot for promotional materials, such as the webisodes and minisodes, and of course, the trailers. One reason I say this is because page views for Season 3 have topped 124,000! Page views for Season 4 have already reached 45,000. To me, this seems to necessitate a data box for easy interactive access. --OrionFour 01:32, 16 December 2007 (CST)

Sounds interesting! My first reaction was negative, as it sounded like the season templates at the bottom of the episode guides, but now I think I'm tracking with you. I don't think there'd be any harm in going ahead and mocking something up. People usually can provide more concrete critical feedback when there's something actually there for their tomatoes to hit. Do you want to take the lead on this one? I'd recommend taking the episode data template as a base (as far as copying and pasting for formatting purposes), and going from there. Maybe Template:Season Data? --Steelviper 11:32, 17 December 2007 (CST)

Ditto. I don't see any issue with this. Feel free to make something up! -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 11:53, 17 December 2007 (CST)

If it's only displayed on the respective season pages it's a very good idea. In general, it's a good idea to be careful with templates. Sometimes there are huge templates or up to 2 of them displayed below a character article. That's just clutter for little to no gain. But this would work. --Serenity 12:23, 17 December 2007 (CST)

Alright i'll get started! Any other ideas to add to the template? Also does anyone know where I can find old teaser trailers to previous seasons? --OrionFour 14:39, 17 December 2007 (CST)
