{{User:Buddy13/sig}} I've created a couple user boxes. Wikipedia uses them a little, but I figured that since Futurama is being kept alive by its community, we might focus a little more ''on'' that community. So user pages might get a little more extensive. So far, I just created the [[Template:Userbox:Admin|Admin]] and another one. See my user page for both of them. I'm not linking it because it has levels, so basically, you pick a level based on your proficiency in the given area (in this case, your ability to recall episode titles from memory). The lowest is <nowiki>{{Userbox:T-1}}</nowiki> and they go up to five. Feel free to create more boxes. I expect there to be a ton of them as more people want to show off more and more about themselves, what they know, or their Futurama expertise. Suggestions or ideas welcome. | {{User:Buddy13/sig}} I've created a couple user boxes.

{{User:Buddy13/sig}} Sometimes the animatics contain additional information. Should we consider this information canon? It would seem pretty spiffy if we pointed out that Fry's shift actually ended three hours before he was made to deliver the pizza, and that he was only waiting there for his girlfriend to pick him up. Obviously these aren't final episodes, so some info might conflict with the final, but where it doesn't, I think it'd be cool if we included it. Thoughts? | |||

Custom Special Pages...?
Haven't looked into this much, but I know it's possible to make custom special pages in php. I have an idea that may already exist somewhere (I can't be the first to think of it), it'd be handy to have a special page listing all episodes in a given namespace (or even category?) that DON'T link to any pictures(files). If everyone thinks it's a good idea I'll look into it.
Buddy13 
I've thought of a couple other special pages that might be interesting to have... so yeah, go right ahead.
User:Gopher/sig Ever done any php before? I've been meaning to learn, this seems like as good a time as any, but I'm currious. Right now I'm checking out the database layout to work out the SQL querry required, and I'll have to get the wiki source to study some of the existing special pages; my first experiment will logically be making a slightly-modified version of an existing page (with a new name of course) You'll be able to install it, correct? It's apparently just putting two files in the right place and adding one line to an existing file to include them.
Template:Check
User:Gopher/sig Ok, what do you guys think of this? To see it in use, check out Nibbler's page. I can't remember exactly what he said in "The Why of Fry" about his age, but I think he gives a ballpark figure? So I put the {{Check}}> template at the end of the line. This adds it to the Check category, so all tags can be viewed there. It also includes a formatted link to edit the page. Seem worthwhile?
Buddy13 Could prove quite useful in the long run.
Userboxes
Buddy13 I've created a couple user boxes. Wikipedia uses them a little, but I figured that since Futurama is being kept alive by its community, we might focus a little more on that community. So user pages might get a little more extensive. So far, I just created the Admin and another one. See my user page for both of them. I'm not linking it because it has levels, so basically, you pick a level based on your proficiency in the given area (in this case, your ability to recall episode titles from memory). The lowest is {{Userbox:T-1}} and they go up to five. Feel free to create more boxes. I expect there to be a ton of them as more people want to show off more and more about themselves, what they know, or their Futurama expertise. Suggestions or ideas welcome.
Animatics
Buddy13 Sometimes the animatics contain additional information. Should we consider this information canon? It would seem pretty spiffy if we pointed out that Fry's shift actually ended three hours before he was made to deliver the pizza, and that he was only waiting there for his girlfriend to pick him up. Obviously these aren't final episodes, so some info might conflict with the final, but where it doesn't, I think it'd be cool if we included it. Thoughts?
