| 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)
| |
| :I actually looked a little into RSS feeds on the main page myself but didnt look very hard. Would be quite a cool feature if its possible --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 12:50, 20 December 2006 (CST)

| |
| ::Doh! All the RSS converters I am seeing commonly available are javascript. There are some php files that convert it to html, but I didn't want to get into that (as I don't have (and don't really want) privs to upload and install anything). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 13:23, 20 December 2006 (CST)

| :::Joe got it up and running [[Battlestar Wiki:Main page|here]] if you want to check it out. It's the "Blog" box under the "Airdates" box. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 16:11, 27 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. Thanks for any advice. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 17:44, 1 February 2007 (CST)

| The 6-page online EW article on season 3.5 is actually about 3.0 (it even says battlestar returns fridasy at 9, October) Recommend it is removed for obvious reasons [[User:Jxh487|Jxh487]] 17:55, 19 January 2007 (CST)
| |
| : Agreed. Consider it done. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 18:10, 19 January 2007 (CST)

| ==Strong Season 4 Rumor==
| |
|
| |
| [[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 2-hour movie followed by 13 episodes? Déjà vu, anyone? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]] 13:38, 11 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:
| |
|
| |
| Change:
| |
| <pre><nowiki>
| |
| <div class="plainlinks" align="right"><small>[[Battlestar Wiki:Quotes/Current Week|View quotes for the current week]]</small></div>
| |
| </nowiki></pre>
| |
| To:
| |
| <pre><nowiki>
| |
| <div class="plainlinks" align="right"><small>
| |
| {{#ifexist:Quotes:{{CURRENTMONTH}}_{{CURRENTDAY}}|[{{fullurl:Quotes:{{CURRENTMONTH}}_{{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit}} Edit this quote] -
| |
| }}[[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] -
| |
| }}[[Battlestar Wiki:Quotes/Current Week|View quotes for the current week]]
| |
| </small></div>
| |
|
| |
| And for a nonexistent one:
| |
| <div class="plainlinks" align="right"><small>
| |
| {{#ifexist:fdsfdsfasdfasdfa|[{{fullurl:Quotes:{{CURRENTMONTH}}_{{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit}} Edit this quote] -
| |
| }}[[Battlestar Wiki:Quotes/Current Week|View quotes for the current week]]
| |
| </small></div>

| |
| :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)

| == Memeber == | | == Quote of the day. == |
|
| |
|
| There's a misspelling along the "Featured Site Project". Just to let you know. [[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 12:33, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
| | Why was the quote of the day section removed from the main page. That was one awesome section which automatically updated daily, and gave us some kind of dynamism in the main page. It would be really nice if that could be added back. I don't have rights to edit the main page. So, some one with rights should do it. -- [[User:CylonU87|CylonU87]] 05:32, 23 February 2012 (EST) |
| :Fixed. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 08:08, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
