Template:Title
Hi, whats the purpose of this template? --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 11:28, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
- The purpose of this template is I want to make it more like Wookieepedia, and I want to put a "title override" for articles with wrong titles due to technical limitations, like R & D TV.--Starkiller 23:35, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
R&D
I don't think we need the skits in two places. --Shane (T - C - E) 02:43, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
- I've found these R&D skits here. Should I post them on the R&D TV article? --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. --The Merovingian (C - E) 08:51, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
- I've found these R&D skits here. Should I post them on the R&D TV article? --Starkiller 03:00, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
Verb Tense
See 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. --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. --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. ;-) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Sanctuary Wiki — New 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. -- 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. 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. -- Serenity 06:47, 16 March 2008 (CDT)
