==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 &amp; 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&amp;D skits [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/video/closing/ here]. Should I post them on the [[R and D TV|R&amp;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)
 
== Move permissions ==
 
By the way, I've noticed your recent edits and decided to give you move permissions. ;-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki &mdash; ''New'']</sup> 10:11, 22 December 2007 (CST)
 
== 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)
