Template Edits

I have been working on places in Odyssey; therefore, Template:Infobox Location, and Template:Ep num2. Being that they are templates, I want to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Especially on the Ep num2 template, as I removed your content. You can check any of the following to make sure everything is okay Israel and Greensboro to make sure it is okay. Thank you and hopefully I didn't mess anything up. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 16:37, 1 January 2013 (MST)

Sorry to bother you again but I just got done going through all of the Location templates. I now have many images in which could use a template. I have already created some categories but I decieded it needs to be more organized with a template. I wanted to kind of base it of off Book images. I don't know if I have the experience to do so. Someday I plan on working on it which might require a lot of edits and possibly some help. What are your thoughts on doing as such? (its sorta Eugene's idea branched to Location images) Thanks for your time! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 21:27, 1 January 2013 (MST)
The templates look good, the Ep num2 wasn't actually being used anywhere that I see so you can do whatever you want with it. Eugene made the book template, I think it would be good to base it off of that, I can try to come up with something tonight or on the weekend Reddo (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2013 (MST)
User: Stop Wooton Around/Location Idea#template idea, is my idea of what I want a template to do. Basically you would have to type in Real or Fictional, and then the category in which it falls (state, country, etc.). That is my idea anyways but I am not sure how it will translate into creating a template. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 06:49, 2 January 2013 (MST)
I think I figured out a good template but I'm at school and have to work tonight but I will get to it soon. Basically I am just using the first part of Template:Book Image. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 08:32, 2 January 2013 (MST)
I think I got it. It is called Template:Location Image. I'll add it to images later. Look at File:Africa.jpg as an example. It might continue to have flaws (like I spelled continent wrong :)) but I think its going to work. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 12:29, 2 January 2013 (MST)
Okay, looks good Reddo (talk) 06:45, 3 January 2013 (MST)

Ralph the Dog

Hi. I tried creating Ralph (dog). It said you deleted it last year. Is there a reason why you deleted it? I don't want to make it with your final word.

I saw that too, I would say only create it if you have info for it, because Reddo probably deleted it because it had no info, that's my guess, Reddo probably doesn't even remember deleting it, so I would. Skylerbuck (talk) 21:01, 18 January 2013 (MST)
I deleted it because the page was blank, if you can fill it in, go for it Reddo (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2013 (MST)

The deletion of the War of 1812

Why did you delete that? I was playing around and had a banner at the top that said "Note! This is a sandbox for Sunnys! This is NOT a real episode!" at the top! Romans 8:28 -Sunnys <BIBLE|-- (talk) 23:54, 19 January 2013 (MST)

When you create an episode page like that it shows up everywhere, on Album and season pages, on the actors and character pages that you put on there, if you want to play around with an episode Sandbox use Sandbox Episode it was set up so that it doesn't mess with the categories. Also sandbox pages should not be made in the main namespace, they should either be made in the project one or as a subpage of your own user page Reddo (talk) 08:53, 20 January 2013 (MST)
Well where is the deleted page? I need to at least copy and paste my project. Romans 8:28 -Sunnys <BIBLE|-- (talk) 15:40, 20 January 2013 (MST)
It's at User:Sunnys/Sandbox I've broken the templates though so it doesn't appear on pages Reddo (talk) 18:38, 20 January 2013 (MST)

What about her character? Reddo (talk) 11:50, 22 January 2013 (MST)

I would rather you hear that in the news post. But I will say it is INCREDIBLE that FOTF missed it in their most recent podcast!

I'd rather you say now what it is first and how you know it, also if it's that big news I'd like to be able to check with my contacts at FOTF and see if they're okay with us posting it. I've gotten in trouble for posting things before I should before Reddo (talk) 12:16, 22 January 2013 (MST)

"'NOTE! NOBODY READ THIS TOP SECRET INFORMATION BUT REDDO!"' Okay. It's her character's NAME! There was a part FOTF missed. "Bye, Connie." "Bye, JEWELS." JEWELS/JULIE! Is her NAME! Romans 8:28 -Sunnys <BIBLE|-- (talk) 12:22, 22 January 2013 (MST)

Sorry but the definitely knew that they put that in there, it wasn't an accident. Also we don't know it that's her real name, or a nickname or if it's Julie/Jewels/Jules I don't think it's newsworthy and I'm sure that everyone who saw that podcast knows it but feel free to add it to the future page.

How is that noteworthy to be a news article, m,aybe someone might not want to be spoiled. Skylerbuck 14:36, 22 January 2013 (MST)
Skylerbuck, please stay out of this. I'm sorry if I sound sharp or mean. That's not my intention. Anyway, Reddo. I'll put a banner at the top. "Warning! Contains spoilers about Shona Kennedy's Character!" Romans 8:28 -Sunnys <BIBLE|-- (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2013 (MST)
This is a wiki it's free and open for anybody to say whatever they want, don't tell people to stay out of things. And I still don't think it's news worthy, plus we usually don't post spoilers as news items, if people want to know they can look on the future page and see. Putting a warning above it isn't good enough people still might see. Also please indent your comments I've asked you this before Reddo (talk) 22:22, 22 January 2013 (MST)

Reddo, I just wanted this conversation to be between you and me. I said I was sorry. And I thought he could ask me about something on my talk page. And what do you mean by "indent"? Romans 8:28 -Sunnys <BIBLE|-- (talk) 22:43, 22 January 2013 (MST)

Problem

There is a problem with the new characters or if they got a new actor in album 56 it won't show up on the character page, I have purged it, can you fix this please? Thanks, Skylerbuck (pastors kid+Canadian) (talk) 10:38, 25 January 2013 (MST)

There's probably some categorys that still need to be created, what actor/character is it? Reddo (talk) 19:56, 25 January 2013 (MST)
I think all the character category's are created it just says on most of the new characters "has appeared in 0 episodes" and I found 1 in album 55, or in The Perfect Church characters have different actors so it doesn't show up, or Brad voiced by Logan Charles wont.

Skylerbuck (pastors kid+Canadian) (talk) 08:03, 26 January 2013 (MST)

There more categorys needed than it looks like at first. One page I'm assuming you're talking about it Rhoda voiced by Georgia Dolenz the normal categories exist but Category:Actors who have voiced Rhoda doesn't exist yet so on the page for Rhoda it doesn't list the actors Reddo (talk) 17:09, 26 January 2013 (MST)

Have you noticed?

The episodes airing on the weekends in March and April are the same episodes in the Our Favorites: Actor's Picks, they are probably promoting for it. Skylerbuck (pastors kid+Canadian) (talk) 15:26, 31 January 2013 (MST)

Yeah I noticed that, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an order to how they're airing them so we can't post the whole schedule yet, the episodes should end around August 10th probably around a month before 57 starts Reddo (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2013 (MST)
There is a few Christmas episodes so they probably won't air those, or maybe not the Independence Day episode either. I thought album 57 aired in October, like album 56 did, and I wonder if they will air those album 51-album 56 episodes in the same airing runs of the Actor's Picks album because they have aired like 3 times in 2 months.
One question, can we put the album 56 re-airdates , and Tom for Mayor, Part 2 in April in order or do we need confirmation from FOTF? Can we add them in? Skylerbuck (pastors kid+Canadian) (talk) 15:46, 31 January 2013 (MST)
Yeah September/October somewhere around there, it varies from season to season. We'll just have to wait and see what they do about those episodes, and I imagine that the ones from 55/56 will air again, it's a few months away yet, and they're airing episodes on the weekends right now that either just aired or soon will air, We could add them as it's pretty easy to guess what's going to air, but I usually wait till after it's official Reddo (talk) 16:00, 31 January 2013 (MST)

Wrong artwork

it seems we don't have a 3D version of the artwork like the player is trying to load, that's why it's messing up. I've asked a friend to make one up for us Reddo (talk) 19:04, 31 January 2013 (MST)

Template Infobox Places

I am having a little bit of an issue with the types on the Template:Infobox Places. The issue is that the template will put an -s on the end of type for a category; however, if you have a type such as Government Agency, an -s is improper. Template:Infobox Location has it fixed so that cities is made plural would placed under type. I have tried a few things but I am really not sure how to fix Infobox Places to make it so it would produce - Category: Government Agencies rather than Category: Government Agencys. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 19:16, 1 February 2013 (MST)

HELP! The server is not letting me login

This is Nmgaiowiki. I cannot login. I was able to login the first time with my temporary password then set my permenant password as the same thing (is that a problem?). I requested another temporary password and tried to login with that. A box said "Incorrect Password". What should I do? Also, on a side note, can you change my username to NMGAIOWiki (w/ capital letters)?

UPDATE 12:48 2/4/13 I see my username is changed. I just recieved another temporary password (could be the one I requested earler. I just realized I was looking at a old request at first) and it didn't work. What is going on?

UPDATE 1:39 2/4/13 Strange... I can login with my old password. Looks like the temporary passwords weren't even set, but they were sent to me. Any ideas on why it did that Reddo?

I think that when you ask for a temp password it keeps your old one in the database too so that if you do remember it you can still use it and then your temp password will just eventually expire. Glad you got it all worked out. Reddo (talk) 17:41, 4 February 2013 (MST)

Special:DeleteBatch

Um...not sure how to ask this but is there a reason Special:DeleteBatch is limited bureaucrats? A possible change it to sysop?

Question about videos

Do you think we should take off the "watch" link at the top of the video infobox, now you have to sign up, and eventually pay to watch them on Jelly Telly after the free trial, what do you think? Skylerbuck (talk) 11:57, 17 February 2013 (MST)

hmm that's too bad, I was unaware that they had changed that, I think we should remove the links in that case then Reddo (talk) 14:39, 17 February 2013 (MST)

re: Radio Schedule

On Whit's End.org on the home page, one problem though Tyndale says Feud for Thought is in the album while the official site says Amazing Grace, odd enough Will Ryan picked one of them and he does not act in Amazing Grace, so I'm thinking Tyndale is right, can you confirm that?, do you think we could post the whole schedule to 2015 if we know it, or is that too far ahead, the more info we have the better, and if you need help inputing it, you could send the email to me, because I like creating the schedule pages. Skylerbuck (talk) 20:45, 5 March 2013 (MST)
On second thought maybe we should only put in the 2013 schedule, It would look odd saying "Whit's Flop" Last aired: 2015. Skylerbuck (talk) 21:19, 5 March 2013 (MST)
One problem, the epiosdes now say airadte:The newest episode instead of their original airdate. Skylerbuck (talk) 15:41, 6 March 2013 (MST)

Audio Player

Hey, I'm Drew1200. I created my account awhile ago, but I really haven't used it much. I do read the wiki quite a bit, though, and I had a question about something. I saw on your profile that you were working on this, so you may already have noticed, but I figured I'd tell you anyways. When your on the site using mobile, the audio player in the episode infobox doesn't work. It looks like it's probably because it requires flash. My question (which is also a suggestion) is are you working on fixing that? It's a feature that would be really nice to have on mobile. You should be able to use a mobile detection script using JavaScript... I dunno', you would probably know more about it than I do. I thought that it was important enough to ask you about it. :) Hopefully I can be more active here in the future. Thanks! Drewlzoo(talk)

Actually you may have already seen it before I deleted it but here it is: I would like to put [[Image:{{#dpl: |title={{delink|{{ Schedule:{{{date|{{LOCALYEAR}}-{{LOCALMONTH}}-{{LOCALDAY2}} }}} }} }} |includepage={Infobox Episode Information} main page }}|{{{size|200px}}}]] (from Template:Image_for_date) on each of the days on the calendar templates, replacing {{LOCALDAY2}} with the day that it is on. This way, it show the image for the album for that episode above the title of the episode. This would make it more visually appealing. I tried it on April's template (Template:Calendar/30/mon) and it worked, but what about future months? How can I tell it to look to see if the template it is on is for the current month or not and then add or subtract the number of months it is away from the current month from {{localmonth}}? {{{month}}} doesn't work. ---Noah (talk) 07:29, 11 April 2013 (MDT)
I'm still trying to think of a way to add images to the calendar that will look good, I just don't think that showing 12 images of the same cover is that beneficial. maybe if we put the images in a bigger version above the calendar and loop through them based on a timer, still trying to figure it out... I took a look at your edits and it would be easy to get it to show the right image, just a minor change to what you did. Reddo (talk) 22:14, 12 April 2013 (MDT)
I see how that would be redundant. Maybe you could put it on one part of the calendar, then signify that it is also the covers for the rest (an arrow across them all, putting it with the day (e.g. put the currently running album on top of the Sunday/Saturday column and the re-air album on top of the other days. this wouldn't work w/ the Actors picks but they'll be over soon (it would still look weird going back to the month since they are "blanket" (covering a lot at one time with one thing) templates). BTW You misspelled beneficial and my spell-check on Chrome picked it up. I changed it for you. ---Noah (talk) 18:32, 14 April 2013 (MDT)

For some reason I no longer see mabel, in fact I am pretty sure the bar above the edit box has changed.

hmm that's odd it was working fine not too long ago, it looks like a javascript error of some sort, I'll look into it, might be tomorrow evening before I can get to it though. That's cool, CS isn't the easiest but I think it's a lot of fun. Reddo (talk) 23:17, 9 April 2013 (MDT)
If you have worked on the javascript, it is still not working but I imagine you have not. Incase you have, it is still not working for me. I went to an engineering company as a field trip. I doubt you have heard of it but it is Raytheon and they are a military engineering company. Anyways, one of the things we were told to do was; we were given a task list of errors on a game and then had to read the code and fix it. I really enjoyed that and I have enjoyed the work on the wiki.

(Not happening) Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 20:05, 12 April 2013 (MDT)
No I haven't worked on it, it seems to be a browser issue, are you using chrome? mable seems to be working for me opera next, firefox nightly and IE 10 but chrome fails. waiting for the next update to see if that fixes it, I've also noticed things on wikipedia failing in chrome
Military engineering would be fun, there's not as much of that here in saskatchewan though, 40k seems steep, is that for a year or for the full thing? I went to the University of Saskatchewan and I'm not sure of the exact amount because I took 3 years of mechanical engineering before CS and there was some credits that carried over. But I think the total amount for everything for my CS degree was around 25K, only around 6K a year which I think isn't that bad Reddo (talk) 22:08, 12 April 2013 (MDT)
Yeah, for CS that is what I can get into a college for (6k) but computer software engineering is a specialty course so its usually a private school.

Here software engineering is the same price as any other CS classes most of the degree requirements are the same too, the engineering one is just doesn't have as many electives to choose from, it's more structured and guided on what classes are required. I changed a few variables on the server, the new tool bar should be default for users that aren't logged in now (during the last upgrade it seems I overwrote that setting and put it back to the old toolbar and didn't realize it.

Oversights

I was wondering if you could give me oversights, just in case I need it to hide usernames/edits when needed when blocking. Thanks again, Skylerbuck (Male, Canadian, Admin) (talk) 16:26, 12 April 2013 (MDT)

I'd rather hold off for a bit, and going by the spam that we've had recently there's no need for it, but if such spam does appear I'll give it to you. Reddo (talk) 22:10, 12 April 2013 (MDT)

Admin

Hi, Reddo I'm sure you remember me. I noticed that Skylerbuck has recently become an admin. I am wondering if I could be one too, since we joined closely time wise. I am trusted by people on other websites, (Although I don't know if I could really refer you to anyone.) and I could help with spam. I don't know if Skylerbuck was picked, or if he asked, but I would like to be an admin like him. Thank you. - Sunnys <BIBLE|-- ~Talk~

Reddobot changing infoboxes

Couldn't you just program Reddobot to change all of the episodes to the new infoboxes? Gooey98 ~ (talk) 22:43, 24 August 2013 (MDT)

it's rather complex to change over to the new system, more links, reformatting bible verses, it would be possible but it's not worth it. if I was just added the new = yes thing it would be easy, but if that's all we were doing i wouldn't have made it nessesary to add that flag, I wanted to keep track of all the ones that needed the verses changed over, audio links updated, links to other sites ect. so that we could make a to do list Reddo (talk) 00:32, 25 August 2013 (MDT)

Template: infobox Episode Information

Reddo, While you were away, we discovered that album 55 was still blocked for the ratings as unreleased. In the code below you can see what I changed, and how that does not work.

Code form http://www.aiowiki.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Episode_Information 

<!---------------------------------RATING---------------------------------->
{{-}}
<div style="clear:left;font-size:10px;text-align:center;border-top:2px solid #EEC947;"></div>
<div style="width:125px;float:left;text-align:left;">Rating</div><br>
<div style="width:250px;float:left;text-align:left;">
<!--{{#ifeq:{{{album_num|}}}|55|''Rating cannot be submitted until episode has been released.''|<w4g_ratingbar idpage="{{FULLPAGENAME}}"/>}}-->

<div style="clear:left;font-size:10px;text-align:center;border-top:7px solid #F9EAC3;"></div>

What I was trying to accomplish is what this extension does. If we just compared Category:Unaired episodes to the episode in question using that extension, we would be very close to getting only the episodes that do not need a rating yet. I was also looking in to whether or not a similar thing could be done with DPL, because I know the wiki already runs it. So far I do not think DPL is a good solution to this rating problem.

Aiow 07:31, 26 August 2013 (MDT)

Yeah DPL isn't designed for that, it's possible but it would slow down page load times, also with the club episodes coming out, none of those episodes will air but yet they'll available for listening and rating. Thanks for trying to figure it out though Reddo (talk) 18:07, 29 August 2013 (MDT)
I went over the problem again; and I now have a solution. Now supposing we can add PageInCat the code below is all that is needed to make the ratings work properly.
{{#incat:Unreleased_items|''Rating cannot be submitted until episode has been released.''|<w4g_ratingbar idpage="{{FULLPAGENAME}}"/>}}
The same code can be used in the book infobox as well. The Category:Unreleased_items gives us the exact list we need, I do not know why I was looking at the Unaired episodes before. Aiow 07:30, 28 September 2013 (MDT)
That's an awesome idea, I'll install that extension later tonight. thanks Reddo (talk) 12:37, 29 September 2013 (MDT)

Video Character Appearance box.

Hi Reddo. I was looking at Dylan Taylor and noticed his Appearance box was messed up. So I made a new one in the sandbox I want you to look at. I'm sure it will go through some changes, for example I wanted to make a page for that information, like I did with my User:Sunnys/sig, so we could just put something like Template:Video Appearances (without the spaces).

What do you think? - Sunnys <BIBLE|-- ~Talk~

I thought I had fixed that, guess not, thanks for pointing that out, I think we should try to integrate it in the current one somehow so it has the same style and design Reddo (talk) 18:22, 29 August 2013 (MDT)

I added them all, sorry if you were spoiled, it doesn't work on the episode pages yet because of moving to the new infobox system. and yes let's put you know who in the Pilot Cast, it has a spoiler warning on it, if people ignore that it's their fault Reddo (talk) 17:48, 29 August 2013 (MDT)

Hey again! I was thinking. I just noticed there were two Alex Jefferson articles, for the kid involved in the Novacom era and the basketball star in the Fundamentals. As you can see, the article for the kid links to the article (b) and the basketball star links to (a). Wouldn't it make more sense that, because Alex Jefferson the kid is a bigger character, he be listed (a)? Or does it always go chronologically? [[User:3189931899]][[talk]]

Has this happened to you any, and do you have any tips? Thanks. [[User:3189931899]][[talk]]

Thanks for letting me know, FOTF has removed that episode from their server, but they don't tell anybody when they do that, so then bad links are left behind :( .

Check-up

Since, I haven't been here in forever I figured I would check-up. Can new infoboxes be added to all episodes? Also, I think I noticed that you changed Mabel to fit the new categories. Is that right, so if I just use Mabel it will put in the right category. EDIT: I see that it is not; however, are we just using the same categories. I.E. Actors in """" would still be Category:Episodes by actor?. Or do we have new categories? Thanks!

Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 11:24, 5 December 2013 (MST)

yes new infoboxes can be added, just make sure that everything is updated accordingly, sorry been out of the loop for a while, what categories are you talking about? Reddo (talk) 15:58, 21 December 2013 (MST)
I have been out of the loop too... I believe if you go to Wanted Categories you'll see what I am talking about. P.S. Some still might say Charactors because I didn't feel like purging every page.

okay so I did some tinkering and I think I may have just made Mable pretty scary awesome.

P.S. Hopefully you don't mind but I rephrased the categories you made while also linking to the episode it references. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 11:19, 22 December 2013 (MST)

I have found one issue with Mabel, as seen with the Episodes with promos categories. It put the wrong category on it, which in of itself isn't bad but that even when you click edit it wants to automatically save it. The only way I could change it was to not let the page load entirely. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 19:18, 22 December 2013 (MST)

I made it so that now it should only auto save the page if it's a new page, we don't use Mabel for editing any old pages do we? so it shouldn't be a problem then. Reddo (talk) 22:51, 22 December 2013 (MST)
Not that I am aware.

Thanks. I found something that I found very helpful and is beneficial for these categories. I am using Google Chrome and got an extension called Linkclump. Around the max I can do is around 50 in which I hold shift and drag down with my left mouse. By doing this it opens all 50 categories at the same time in separate tabs and Mabel does the rest. (When I first got it I tried to open over 100 categories, needless to say my computer froze :)) Also, for some reason Mabel is not reading the quotes category correct. It just reads the Episodes with... and puts in the episode character category template. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 23:23, 23 December 2013 (MST)

That sounds like a handy extension, I'll look into the quotes thing tonight Reddo (talk) 16:10, 24 December 2013 (MST)
Yeah, if you don't mind, you might want to check both categories that read off of with. For the new categories we just created, I was having issues with using #sub and a number because some episodes were like 431a. So I found #explode, which worked quite well. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 17:38, 24 December 2013 (MST)
Okay, I have a new issue. While #explode helped fix FP episodes and split episodes it messes up the Plan B, Part 1: Missing in Action episodes. This is because I set the delimiter to : but since that episode title has one colon it returns simply Plan B, Part 1. I think I may have ran out of resources to try and fix that. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 23:00, 27 December 2013 (MST)
what about this?

Template:Resources/State

I am having some issues with Template:Resources/State. The issue is trying to correctly link the Odyssey Scoop links. The first issue was that PAGENAME wanted to capitalize the state. I fixed that with the lowercase template. The only problem I still have is that for states with two names (i.e. New York, New Mexico, etc.), the urlencode wants to put a plus in between them. I.E. /new+mexico.htm. However, in order for it to be linked properly it needs to be /new_mexico.htm. I am not sure if this can be fixed in the current format or if the template is going to have to be changed to a user input. Thanks! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 09:10, 14 December 2013 (MST)

you should be able to use #replace, if you're still having problems, see here for more details Reddo (talk) 16:01, 21 December 2013 (MST)
Actually, I got it by using anchorencode instead or urlencode. I still had to use the lowercase template but every state should link to the Odyssey Scoop now. Thanks! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 23:42, 22 December 2013 (MST)

The old infobox had that ugly hack to make it work that sometimes messed up the category sorting, the new one does it properly, there's now both an album_name and album_title tag in the new infobox Reddo (talk) 11:16, 26 December 2013 (MST)

Thanks, the scripture one was tricky to track down, but I found it. For the script it was because it's set up so you just have to put in the file name, not the url Reddo (talk) 12:44, 6 January 2014 (MST)

Okay, that makes sense because the template did say filepath. Thank you for your help! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 19:15, 6 January 2014 (MST)

So by using this format we lost all of our categories for scripture. What do you think of having at least categories for the different books. I think it would be useful to have say all episodes that reference 1 Samuel or whatever. Now to have specific verses is up to you. I ask this because I don't believe it would be a difficult process to add a category for whatever is in | book = (i could be wrong). What do you think? It's all up to you because I don't feel comfortable messing with that big of a template? Just a suggestion. Thanks! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 15:28, 8 January 2014 (MST)
P.S. I will not delete any of those categories, (if at all) until there is a decision. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 15:28, 8 January 2014 (MST)
whoops I meant to do that but i guess it slipped through the cracks somewhere, the plan was to just do book categories like you mentioned seems more useful then having a category for each episode, I'll edit the template after kids club tonight, unless you want to do it earlier Reddo (talk) 16:48, 8 January 2014 (MST)
Okay, nah I think I will let you do it (don't trust myself). Plus, I have plenty to do with adding the new infobox. BTW: It seems like I have just been finding mistakes and nitpicking but I really do like this format. I especially like how you can just click on the scripture. Thanks! Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 17:15, 8 January 2014 (MST)
Don't worry about finding mistakes and nitpicking, it leads to better episode pages, and it's really easy for me to fix the things to unlike changing the pages over to the new format, which takes time and that's not something I have a lot of right now Reddo (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2014 (MST)

Did we intentionally do away with the Episodes aired x times categories? If not the new infobox gets rid of it. (I noticed some of them showing up in unused categories) Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2014 (MST)

I don't remember intentionally doing away with it, is there any use for those categories? Reddo (talk) 21:07, 9 January 2014 (MST)
Other than information on how many times the episodes aired, I don't see what it is for because nothing links to the overall category. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 23:06, 9 January 2014 (MST)

LCD Episodes

Would it be alright to mainstream the LCD Episodes? What I mean by that is instead of having seperate templates, could we move into the normal one? Like we have done with the FP and FD ones? Or is it too different to do that? Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2013 (MST)

  2. I can't straighten out the links tab

How to make a new page

There are a couple of ways, you can make a link to a page that doesn't exist, follow the link and create it from there. You could also search for the page and if it doesn't exist there will be a link near the bottom that says "Create the page ...... on this wiki!" if you follow that link you can also create a page. hope this helps Reddo (talk) 13:14, 23 March 2014 (MDT)

Episode info box redesign

I read on your user page that you will be redesigning the episode infobox. When you do, is there a way to separate the episode number from the a or b used in the half sized episodes? It would make it so much easier to fix Template:Ep to use those --KnightMiner (talk|contribs) 15:58, 4 April 2014 (MDT)

Pages where template include size is exceeded

I got the following warning on #385: “It's a Pokenberry Christmas, Part 1”..."Pages where template include size is exceeded". As a result the infobox does not appear. I got rid of the reviews to maybe reduce the number of template but that didn't work. #386: “It's a Pokenberry Christmas, Part 2” works for some reason.

P.S. Have we reached a consensus about adding host to episodes and which version we are using? Could we just have hosted by...then include any and all hosts. Or possibly have | host = and | host_title = Chris Anthony (album version). Or better yet have | host_album = or | host_radio =...appearing as Album hosted by... or Radio hosted by... Also on the template talk page, I suggested an idea of making a new section under Other websites: called reviews. The reason being is that Odyssey Scoop has both reviews and episode information. So, while I can move ToO reviews up, I can't move the Odyssey Scoop reviews. Thanks!

P.P.S. I will probably be active this following week because I am on Spring Break.

Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 10:51, 5 April 2014 (MDT)

That was weird, not sure why it gave that error, but I found the problem, it was a small typo on the verse. I like the review section idea, I for some reason I thought that we had a review section, I guess I have too much code going on in my head and I'm starting to loose track of what I've actually coded and what's only been done in my head. I like the | host_album = or | host_radio =... idea then just have both of them default to Chris and then we only have to change the ones where it's not Chris. Enjoy your spring break, if you have any questions I'm around, I don't have much editing time, but I always have time for questions. Reddo (talk) 21:10, 5 April 2014 (MDT)
Oh, okay. It was bound to be that. You don't know how many times I have to go back because I forgot to change scripture or promo or something. With the host thing, I guess several new things have to be created. New categories and new sections on the tabs for cast and crew work. For the review thing that will be my next project. I have about 80 more episodes to revert to new and they should all have up to date scripture and links. Stop Wooton' Around (talk) 21:25, 5 April 2014 (MDT)
Check.svg Done!!!!!!! Sorry, overdid the exclamations points but it feels good. I believe all episodes have been updated. The only think left on Category:Episodes with old infobox is the template:episode infobox. I was able to delete Template:Has sidebar because it was empty. All scripture should work - I checked by searching | scripture =. The only ones that still have it has no scripture.

Album and Episode Infobox

Apparently at one point I tried to convert the album infobox to include websites...that failed. The basic setup is still on template and doesn't affect anything because it has to have | new = yes.
