| - I'd like to go through this and bring it up to speed, but I don't want to just go in and start editing away. If no one objects, I'll post my proposed to-do list here on the talk page, and we can go from there? -- Dhalia 18:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC) I think as far as the featured quote goes, that you really can't go wrong, as every episode is cramed full of great writing. But I think the best thing to do would be to get a list of quotes, and after making sure there are no duplicates we can just go down the list, maybe one a week or so, untill either we run out or add more to the list.

| - I'd like to go through this and bring it up to speed, but I don't want to just go in and start editing away. If no one objects, I'll post my proposed to-do list here on the talk page, and we can go from there? -- Dhalia 18:48, 2 August 2009 (UTC) Sounds like a good idea and is completely fine by me. The only thing I'd like to suggest that we add to the list is a suggestion to make event pages, because that is a category which we are decidedly lacking at the moment, and it might be good to have some different ways of approaching it. Maybe doing it this way would allow more creative means of writing pages as well as a larger variety of pages (because at the moment I'm thinking "invasions", "court cases", and "competitions", and I'm sure there are several other categories that I haven't thought up yet). Ellipses485 13:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC) That's great, I could definitely use suggestions on what we want to accomplish. I hope Solar Dragon will have a few things he wants to add to the to-do list as well. -- Dhalia 19:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
* My rough draft proposal for the to-do list: anything italicized needs more discussion for sure, and I am sure other parts do as well. I kept some parts of the original list, I hope the original author doesn't mind. I'm posting it in it's as yet unfinished stage so we can add to it, and because I have to do a few things and don't want to lose all this work :) -- Dhalia 21:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC) Well, you have more or less covered what we need to do with that. I didn't realise so much was stolen from Wikipedia. We definitely need to change that. If either of you two want to do that as I am busy doing other stuff. I was going to make a event infobox but forgot. I will make that later today if I can. I don't think there should be a review on a set date either. Just put something like Done next to it. That will do. I don't think we need to do anything to the homepage except for maybe a featured quote. I think that may be good. Solar Dragon (Talk) 09:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC) I don't think we really need to have a section dealing with the mainpage, because much of that is protected and we can do that anyway (but I like the idea of adding a featured quote). As for the copied pages, I can understand why it'd be good to have the list available, but the prospect of posting the entire list bothers me a little. Maybe we could have a category for pages that need to be reworded, like we have for articles without images or needing appearances, and then link the to-do page to the category? Also another oddity which I just remembered is that we actually have two pages for one of the episodes, (Less Than Hero and Less than Hero). No, one isn't simply a redirect to the other, they are actually separate pages and they split the links to the episode fairly equally. So that's something else to do at some point. I've posted the articles to my talk page. Actually the first archive talk page. I am a little uncomfortable with that list, but it's harder to find where it is I guess, but still accessible. I will also make a "Articles in need of a re-write" category. -- Dhalia 15:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Eventually the event pages are going to need their own infobox, but it's difficult to determine what would actually go on it considering the wide range of events possible (i.e. what would work great for a war might not work as good for a competition) so why don't we wait until we have a few event pages before making the template. Finally, a while ago I started making a list of possible event pages to be created, and one thing that might make the process of helping users create the pages easier would be for me (or someone else I suppose) to finish going through the series and then post the potential events on the to-do page as red links. Well, I'll probably do that anyway, but I can list them here if that sounds like a good idea. Ellipses485 14:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC) OK. Done the double article. Took the parts missed out from one and copied and pasted to the other and redirected the other one. Less Than Hero. Solar Dragon (Talk) 14:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Please do list them here, if you need help someone else can jump in. I've removed the front page section and the article list. What about this part about the stubs keeping us from being spotlighted. Do you know anything about that Solar Dragon? Who is trying to get us spotlighted? What does spotlighted mean anyways? Next, I also like the idea of a featured quote, but how do we go about picking one? Also I wonder if we really need featured media? And there seems to be a big blank space at the top of the front page. -- Dhalia 16:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC) OK. The spotlight is a way of any one on any wiki seeing our wiki. Look on the left hand side under the boxes. It says wikia spotlight. And there are 3 at the bottom of the page. They had stopped us getting spotlighted as we had over 400, 2/3 of our pages as we had 600 then. We have since then reduced these to a reasonable amount and had the spotlight. The main page, you really need to go to Joey about that and ask him. He will reply late at night as he is in Canada though. We could have a vote, like featured article to pick the quote as well. Well, we would start simple such as Bite My Shiny Metal Ass! but then vote afterwards. And I see what you mean by gaps on the top but most wikis I have seen have that to make the main top bit stand out more. Solar Dragon (Talk) 17:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC) So we're "spotlighted" already then? If this is the case I think it's safe to remove the stubs note about being spotlighted. -- Dhalia 18:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Also, (gosh this page is turning into a mess, sorry) I'd prefer we use a less obvious quote to feature. For example: :"If we could hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!" ―Zapp Brannigan or :"If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, I hate you." ―711 Clerk. OK, I just grabbed two at random but you see what I mean. I find these more interesting than Bender's catchphrase. -- Dhalia 18:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC) I think as far as the featured quote goes, that you really can't go wrong, as every episode is cramed full of great writing. But I think the best thing to do would be to get a list of quotes, and after making sure there are no duplicates we can just go down the list, maybe one a week or so, untill either we run out or add more to the list. The big white space on the top of the mainpage is there so that the page isn't interupted by the ads, which are present when non-loged-in users look at the page. At least that's my understanding of the layout. Likewise that may be the reason we have the featured media there; for layout purposes. Alright then, I will work on getting a list of potential event pages and post them here sometime in the next day or two. Ellipses485 19:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
