| | == Main Page suggestions == |
| At the momment I'd say Svip's is better but it could use a bit more padding outside, and a few pixels extra between the columns. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 19:09, 12 June 2007 (PDT)
| | :''Move to [[Table:Main Page suggestions]].'' |
| : All these things are fixable. But what specifically do you mean by "padding outside"? Margin or padding? They are two different things. I shall look into the extra pixels between the columns. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 05:58, 13 June 2007 (PDT) | |
| Padding, just a bit more whitespace to prevent text from getting too close to the infobox's border. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 06:13, 13 June 2007 (PDT)
| |
| : That is margin actually. But I can do it. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 08:01, 13 June 2007 (PDT)
| |
| Which is padding again? could have swarn margin was line thickness (that is border). Anyway, looks good. The {name} variable can probably be replaced with the system variable <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> because the episode articles take precidence over other topics with the same name, that's what is used in the old navbars. On that note, we can probably leave the old navbars there on long pages. The pressence of exactly one navbar forces scrolling towards it for navigation, the presence of two cuts down scroll distance for half of the people... but that's another discussion ...they do have matching colour schemes. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 20:08, 13 June 2007 (PDT)
| |
| : For your CSS information, border is line thickness (actually that is border-size), padding is the space between the border and the content of an object, while margin is the space between the border and the surrounding objects. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 04:26, 14 June 2007 (PDT)
| |
| : Also! I despite the use of <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, cause it is not good Wiki practice to rely on the system to get it right. Sometimes, the article name may be different from what would be good to go in a name area and then what do you do (except perhaps having the "name" tag as an optional tag, but that would require the ParserFunctions, BUDDY!?)? --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 05:14, 14 June 2007 (PDT)

But when I have internet at home, I can work on the problems till they're fixed (not to mention, some IM'img with someone who knows better).

| | :''Move to [[Table:Notability]].'' |
| : I propose we call it "Soundtrack" and then includes a list of songs. It may only be about the songs, but "Soundtrack" is simply a better name. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:49, 12 June 2007 (PDT)

| ==Infosphere Forums== | |
| Hello, you may not like this, but... I started some forums for the Infosphere [http://infosphere.ipbfree.com here]. I found this great IPB host without ads or anything. These forums are actually similar to my [http://hungerforce.ipbfree.com ATHFWiki forums] actually.... with some differences, like no Adult Swim/Television category because Futurama won't always be on [AS]. '''[[User:Electricbolt|Electricbolt]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Electricbolt|talk]]</sup> [[Image:FW16.png]]
| |
| : I don't want to be picky, but that's an awful lot of forums for such a small amount of users. Suppose you could delete some of the more redundant forums (e.g. just a single video forum)? Also, where is the information about the film titles? Got a link?! --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 15:13, 10 July 2007 (PDT) | |

|
| Our competition, which includes two other wiki's. The community sides in the community portal does work with the same goal. We work to collect all information Futurama, in an objective unbiased (except for the fact that we love the show, so I guess we are biased). But yet, we are the fifth result on Google when searching for ''[http://www.google.com/search?q=futurama+wiki futurama wiki]''. In fact, the best competition we have is Wikipedia, which I am afraid is doing some better jobs on some issues. Also because they have all the delicious extensions. Yum yum. My point is... it has been awfully quiet lately, and also by the spambots. Either we did something efficient, or they are taking a break. But it seems only the regular editors are the one who views this wiki. So uh, we need to spread the word more efficiently.

| == New style proposal == | | == Pixelations == |
| | :''Move to [[Table:Pixelations]].'' |
|
| |
|
| I am proposing a general style for all episode articles. The "Additional information" section should be split up in the following sections: "Trivia" (applies to anything that doesn't go in Continuity and Cultural References), "Continuity" (references to other episodes of the show, lose the "Fast forward" and "Rewind" sections), "Cultural References" (mostly known as "Outside references", perhaps we could call it "Popular culture references" instead), "Goofs" (refers to mistakes, both in continuity and others), "Cast" or "Characters" and "Credits". That makes 6 sections at maximum for the "Additional information" section in an episode article. And let's also write "additional information" as it is ''more'' correct than "info". --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 16:32, 15 July 2007 (PDT)

| Why does the number of images say there is only {{NUMBEROFFILES}} images? Shouldn't there be like 900-1,000 images? The last time I checked, there were more than 700 images. {{User:Electricbolt/sig}}

| Lately, this wiki has been appearing rather weak. Nothing new is really being done. I understand that Buddy has a lot to do, but it isn't optimal that our only person with access to the fileserver doesn't have access to the Internet. Secondly, we have been under serious spam attacks lately, I propose that for a short while, we won't allow any unregistered members to edit articles. I haven't worked on my bot in a while, but hopefully I will get back to that soon. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 03:49, 11 September 2007 (PDT)

| |
| | |
| ==Merchandise==
| |
| Hey, I was thinking we should maybe include info on Futurama merchandise as well as the fiction? Some suggestions:
| |
| *Sections on action figures, statues and other toys and such in character articles
| |
| *Similar sections on merchandise in articles on objects, products or animals, like sections on merch incarnations of the PE ship, Slurm or Brain slugs.
| |
| *Articles on certain lines of toys or merchandise like shirts/clothing, the retro tin wind-ups, games etc.
| |
| I got this idea from the Transformers wikia, which obviously is much more closely connected with toys than Futurama, but still thought it might be a good idea. Thoughts? [[User:SwitChar|SwitChar]] 07:35, 21 October 2007 (PDT)
| |
| :I don't know about having it ''in'' the articles. They're filled with extraneous info as it is, and any more may burst them! But it really depends on how in-depth the info is, I guess. If it's just a quick "There's a toy of this thing" and a screenshot, that could easily be added... But if it's a detailed description and examination and critical review and notes on all points of articulation, then they probably need their own article (or an article for all merch, each thing with its own section). --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 13:23, 21 October 2007 (PDT)
| |
| i agree i think we should have an article for all that stuff dr zoidberg 14
| |
| | |
| == Additional categories for episodes/comics ==
| |
| | |
| I'm thinking about puting the episodes and comics into further categories, something along the lines of "Category:Stories Focusing on Zoidberg" or "Category:Plots Focusing on Fry" It would be limited to primary and (prominent) secondary characters who are the focus of either the A or B plot. Episodes like the Anthologies have 3 A plots and [[Three Hundred Big Boys]] probably just has a lot of B plots. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 22:07, 26 October 2007 (PDT)

| |
| nice idea Dr zoidberg 14
| |
| :: Let's keep the name syntax like this "A/B plot focusing on <character>". Let's make an article called [[Infosphere:Types of plots]] where the different types of plots are explained. Also, can't we make season/series categories? E.g. "Season 1 episodes". --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 15:01, 27 October 2007 (PDT)
| |
| :::Did you mean two seperate categories for A and B plots? Sure we'll just have a see also within the category page pointing to B and A plots for the character respectively. I think we can do the Season X episodes too. Also the plot categories will need to be sub categories of something, probably episodes, media and/or comics because it will be used for all three, I'd say Media. Also comics generally don't have B plots, except [[Six Characters In Search Of A Story]], which is the same sort of thing as Three Hundred Big Boys.

| Hooray! And I'm pretty sure it's legit, since it has a tiny copyright notice. I know that's not a 100% sure way to tell, but hey. I was just so excited when I saw it. I couldn't resist buying it. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 20:30, 27 October 2007 (PDT)

| Stumbled on [http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4915/futuramawr6.gif this] now as well. Perhaps we should have a section for "finds" or something similar. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 15:48, 18 November 2007 (PST)

| | |
| : Most of that looks like a sort of Fan Art. While I can probably never get used to fan art (careless of what fan art it is of), because I find it not to be the ''real'' thing, we might have a section for it. However, the question in thus, what should we let in, and what shouldn't we? I mean, if you go to [http://deviantart.com deviantart] and search for Futurama, you get ''tonnes'' of results. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 23:31, 18 November 2007 (PST)

| ::It probably is the right character based on who he's with and the symbols on his.. TIE Fighter?.. but unless we know it's definately him and where the image is from, we can't say it is. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 18:26, 19 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| :::Okay, I admit, I have gotten my hands on the film prematurely, but I am still ordering the film and paying for it (which I already have) so I guess that makes it somewhat okay. And I can confirm that it is him. Indeed, there are much more screens of him, and he clearly states he is who is guess to be. And yes it is a TIE Fighter. Also, at the end of the film, its production code is as follows; #5ACV01, #5ACV02, #5ACV03, #5ACV04. However, I shall not be writing any plot information until the film is released. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 02:41, 20 November 2007 (PST)

| == The Films ==
| |
| | |
| Let's talk about the films. So far, we are getting a release soon of the first one. However, I hate to admit, but yes, it is already leaked and wild on the Internet. While I do not endorse it, I could simply not wait. So yes, I have watched it. While I will reveal as little of the plot as possible before the film is released. I can tell the following "hard data":
| |
| | |
| The production code for the film is ''not'' XACV01, it is 5ACV01, 5ACV02, 5ACV03, 5ACV04, clearly making the production code for the four episodes it is supposed to be cut into.
| |
| | |
| Yes, the film has a title caption. And most appropriately it is "It just won't stay dead!", which I suggest as a quote on the front page. That is all for now.
| |
| | |
| P.S. Don't think I am not getting a real copy of the film, I have already preordered it, so there. I am a honest guy, just a very impatient honest guy. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 02:57, 20 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| :That production code does make more sense. I'm holding out for the release date, the Xth of Y, 200Z. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 05:16, 20 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| where can you watch it (i also preorderd it so dont think im not doing my part)
| |
| | |
| dr zoidberg 14
| |
| | |
| :I have already reserved my copy on Amazon. I see no reason not to post advanced details on the [[Bender's Big Score]] page--as long as a spoiler alert is included for people like me who are waiting for the movie to arrive in a mailbox near me. Almost every other show-centric wiki posts advance info on upcoming episodes, and I see this as being no different. But I won't read it until after I watch my copy of the movie. And I won't seek out the internet version. Also, while I was on Amazon, I ordered the 2008 calendar. Hooray Futurama. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 14:04, 22 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| ::Well, I understand your reason, and respect them. Obviously, otherwise you probably ban me or something. But since you say so, I shall write the plot outline. However, when you have watched it, there are many discussions to be had. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 16:17, 22 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| :::I will never ban for watching pirated material. HOwever, this is not the place to discuss how to ''attain'' illegal material (pirated Futurama or otherwise). ''That'' would be a bannable offense. Not because I have a moral objection to it (you should see my music collection), but because the site could get in real legal trouble and get shut down if stuff like that started going on here. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 16:21, 22 November 2007 (PST)

| how are they going to make it into eps any way will they take an act and make into one ep will they have diferent pepoles difrent perspectives or what dr zoidberg 14
| |
| : We simply do not know. They may even add some scenes not seen in the films. Our best bet is to sit back and wait. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 09:57, 23 November 2007 (PST)

| ::<nowiki>*Pleased but sticky*</nowiki> Someone put it on a website stream, there's this program I use to meander about the internet and it somewhat randomly got foisted on me. I tried to hold out (indefinitely, I might add) for the release (for a day or so after finding it), but, well, I couldn't resist. I saw it, I will still eventually buy it as soon as it comes out, whenever that is. Also, it's very hot here. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 22:17, 27 November 2007 (PST)

| == Redirects ==
| |
| | |
| I know we have debated redirects before, and Buddy said good for them cause it would bring more users. However. I am wondering where the limit goes. If I type "1ACV01" on Wikipedia, I get the first episode of Futurama. Should we not redirect all the production and broadcast codes to episodes? So if I cannot remember the episode's name, I can get to it easily by knowing its "id". --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:18, 23 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| :Well, those aren't going to be needed for anything other than the episodes, so there's no reason that I can see to not do it. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 15:37, 23 November 2007 (PST)
| |
| :Yeah, I see no problem. But you're weird. I'll never know the production code and not the title. I only know titles. The other way 'round seems odd to me. Oh, well. I can name any episode within the first thirty seconds, usually much much less. Except "Where no Fan has Gone Before"--but that one's easy, since it's the title caption as well... ;) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 12:51, 24 November 2007 (PST)

| == Conference table cleanup ==

| Also, isn't it time we clean up this article a bit. Some of the discussions here are rather old. If we don't want to delete, make an archive. It is better for the overview, and better for the server. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 10:18, 23 November 2007 (PST)

| :::I've been thinking about a forum, but that sort of takes focus away from other Futurama forums (I'm thinking PEEL, specifically), and my other idea was to team up with PEEL and ask them if they'd want to be our official forum and set up a site partnership kinda thing or something. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 09:14, 29 November 2007 (PST)
