Discussion

Should we place a "References to Other Episodes" section into an episode article if it is not present (I've seen a few with "Inside References")? There are a bunch that I think would link together many episode but aren't there and I was wondering if there is a reason for it or if it's just that there were more important things to complete at the time. -Mini-Me 00:34, 23 August 2008 (BST)

I'd prefer "Continuity", sounds more sophisticated. And I think the reason if they are not there, is because we are slackers. --Svip^Talk 01:05, 23 August 2008 (BST)

Sounds good, but I noticed shortly after posting this that there are a couple of notes under Trivia that should be in Continuity. Should that all be filtered around or new/unadded stuff in Continuity only? -Mini-Me 03:47, 23 August 2008 (BST)

Those are probably items left astray from our old standards. Something we should have fixed months ago. But we have a lot to see to, and we are few contributors. --Svip^Talk 11:27, 23 August 2008 (BST)

Wasn't somebody just saying that there wasn't much left to do? That's crazy talk! --Buddy 20:11, 23 August 2008 (BST)

I could start sorting through those, starting at 101 and working up (while doing the remaining commentaries, of course). Not particularly busy this year and that back up I did will help out a ton. -Mini-Me 01:13, 24 August 2008 (BST)

What of the prerequisite sections that a few (four) articles have? That's another section that fits this grouping. It also has those fancy hidden text whosits Svip came up with, see here. One of those still has the fast forward section too... - Quolnok 03:27, 24 August 2008 (BST)

Found that discussion: Talk:Bender's Big Score#Prerequisites? - Quolnok 03:31, 24 August 2008 (BST)

I'd like to stop you there, let us not use those systems until they are more or less perfected. As of right now, I am not entirely pleased with them. And there may be too much rework to do if we began splattering all over the place. So let's leave them where they are now, and call it that. --Svip^Talk 03:53, 24 August 2008 (BST)

Stop me where? I was simply noting that they existed. - Quolnok 05:06, 24 August 2008 (BST)

No, what I meant, is that someone might pick it up and believe it needs addition, so I am just stopping them in doing it right now. Seemed like the appropriate time to mention it. --Svip^Talk 12:36, 24 August 2008 (BST)

After thinking about it for a while now, I'm not very content with just having the major ones listed, especially when the show has a vast amount of little call backs and foreshadows. Perhaps a page can be put together with all episodes listing out how they link to others. I wonder how long that would be. Or something else entirely. Just an idea. -Mini-Me 17:05, 5 September 2008 (BST)

Foreshadowing can easily fit into a section on the relevant article for the concept or character (as well as its appearances section). Episode articles shouldn't have pages of stuff in these sections. Unless I'm mistaken, these sections were based on the ones used at hrwiki.org (considerably shorter animations) they tend to include the most relevant stuff in the article then create an extra article for pretty much any recurring concept, we don't have it quite to that extent yet.
On a related note, anyone want to do a Nicknames article? - Quolnok 02:03, 6 September 2008 (BST)
