Template talk:Season Data

I actually wasn't finished with it yet, I was just using the sandbox to test what I had out. Sorry about the confusion. I've finished it off and posted it on my sandbox page at User:OrionFour/Sandbox. I've designed it to be fully compatible with the Original Series, so long as you switch the series to "tos" and turn off promomat. I've also intigrated a few new features which can also be easily turned off (or deleted) if we decide that we don't need them (such as Full Episodes, Teasers, Promo Materials etc). --OrionFour 17:43, 18 December 2007 (CST)

I've got an idea, I'll just tack on all the things I added since I was in the sandbox last night, at the end of the current template, and add values for 1980 where needed. I wasn't sure what we wanted to do about Galactica 1980 when I made the template, because it doesn't actually have a season page per se. That's especially important when dealing with the season chronology. In my finished template I adjusted it so that when you add "tos" as a series value, the season chronology disapears, however truthfully I'm not sure if we want to just have a chronology redirect to the 1980 main page or not. My feeling is that if we're not going to create a definite season page for 1980, we should just leave it out of the template. --OrionFour 19:41, 18 December 2007 (CST)

We should probably work on bringing 1980 up to the same standards as the more popular continuities. I'm betting a project along those lines will likely kick off once the DVD release of 1980 comes through. Nice work on the template! We should probably give everybody a little more time to make comments/suggestions, and then go for it. --Steelviper 11:09, 19 December 2007 (CST)

Speaking of, I (groan) pre-ordered it from Amazon weeks ago. Oh the pain, the pain. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:25, 19 December 2007 (CST)

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking we just keep it here until everybody's done with the revisions and everyone is satisfied. There really ought to be something for 1980. In any case, me and Shane added values for 1980 in case we ever do create a season page.--OrionFour 13:40, 19 December 2007 (CST)

Looks good. Maybe we could delete the DVD info for each individual episode then. Makes more sense to just list that once per season, except for specials like the Miniseries or "Razor" --Serenity 09:30, 19 December 2007 (CST)

Concur. DVD release is a property of the season, except for individual releases. --Steelviper 10:45, 19 December 2007 (CST)

I also agree. Now that we have this infobox, that field can be removed from the episode data infobox. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New} 13:25, 19 December 2007 (CST)

Sounds like a good idea to me. On that note, I'm finding that the unbox is trouble. The unbox link only goes straight to Season 1 of RDM in all cases, and the purchase link can only include one item (ie for RDM Season 1, there is a cheaper regular set and an HD DVD set; there are two Season 2 DVD sets). Thoughts?--OrionFour 13:40, 19 December 2007 (CST)

What's up with the "full season" thing? Are there non-full seasons? Also, the parameters should probably be documented, cf. Template:User Data. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 12:41, 19 December 2007 (CST)

Oh yeah that was just a way to find a place for the forum links. Honestly, I wasn't happy with that either, since the word season became redundant in those three lines, I just couldn't think of a better way to do it. Ideas? --OrionFour 13:40, 19 December 2007 (CST)
