I changed the very old "Next Graphic Novel" section to direct to [[Heroes Reborn]]. No spoilers, just a point to the new page. I figure that it should be a bit more prominent than it is. Also, I figure that's what people are looking for when they come to the site. Any objections? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:21, 20 April 2014 (EDT) |

The vertical bar looks... interesting. I would say keep it only if we change the Article of the Week format. That bulky format fills up the screen - fast. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 14:17, 3 January 2007 (EST) |

* The problem is definitely with the AOTW. It already looked like crap at anything below 1280x1024 because of the blurb + sidebar combo.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:26, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
* Not a big fan of the veritical bar personally. Strikes me as out of place and difficult to read (left to right easier than top to bottom). Just my opinion. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:15, 3 January 2007 (EST)) |
|||
**How about ... diagonal? (hehehe) - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:19, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
**The horizontal one is just so freaking huge ... at low res it's like a third of the page. We can keep it, but it really makes me want to cry. (OK, maybe not...)--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:30, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
*** Now maybe if we kept it one line and put it in a scroll box...--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:31, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
**** I think I'd like the scroll bar less. haha. If you take the vertical bar with cells sized exactly like it is now and make it horizontal then it should fit in one or two lines, shouldn't it? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:35, 3 January 2007 (EST)) |
|||
***** Not at 1024x768.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:41, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
**** Though more importantly, it comes down to what everyone else thinks of it. Do most people prefer it being vertical over horizontal? If so, let me suffer. :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:37, 3 January 2007 (EST)) |
|||
***** '''Horizontal''' --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 15:38, 3 January 2007 (EST) |

***** Horizontal is best (for so many things...) - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:46, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
****** I changed [[Template:Portalnav]]. Throw that in there. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 15:44, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
* What about axeing the template-index? The navbar does its job - in style. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 15:38, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
** I can get behind that, but then I'm obsessed with the portals.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:42, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
** I'd say if we can leave it, let's. I think it's nice to have one-click access to a lot of the popular topics like the template-index has. But if it ends up getting in the way I think we can kill it. I just wouldn't want to get rid of it unnecessarily even though the portals give you access to the same info. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:50, 3 January 2007 (EST)) |
|||
*** I like it better with, now that I've seen both. And since it's all the way at the bottom, it only adds length, which is no real problem.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:53, 3 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
***What ''would'' help, though, is moving [[Template:Todo]] to the bottom and making it horizontal. The right column is always longer than the left, and the tasks look out of place alongside all that content.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:56, 3 January 2007 (EST) |

I attempted to fix the article of the week - but now, it may be too small. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 15:15, 3 January 2007 (EST) |

can http://www.heroes-forum.com be Placed on the box of the article? |

:It's reserved for sites that prominently link to us on their main page (or on all pages). I've contacted them before about crosslinking, but my emails are always apparently ignored since I never receive a response. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:51, 5 January 2007 (EST)) |

I combined the [[Template:languagebar|languagebar]] with the [[Template:mediabar|mediabar]] since the language bar was looking kind of skimpy.

==Wikipedia vs Heroeswiki== |
|||
* Looks good to me! ([[User:Admin|Admin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 17:00, 8 April 2015 (EDT)) |
|||
* I was browsing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_%28TV_series%29 Wikipedia's version], and decided to pop over to their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Heroes_%28TV_series%29#Heroes_Wiki_.28p2.29 Discussion] page. Apparently there's a mini-war going on over what they think of HW, and let's just say that they aren't very kind to us. Anyone mind if we start de-linking our articles from Wikipedia? I personally don't think they deserve any more traffic from us than the minimum... --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 15:49, 8 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
**Actually, yes, I do mind. Just because there are a few (or many) small-minded folks over at the talk page on Wikipedia's ''Heroes'' article doesn't mean Wikipedia itself is bad. In fact, Wikipedia really is a very good resource, in my opinion. Not perfect, but neither are we. I don't think we should necessarily link to the ''Heroes'' article at Wikipedia, but I think it's just fine to link to other reference articles on Wikipedia. (I think that's primarily the only links we have Wikipedia on the main pages anyway, right?) Plus - ''lots'' of pages link to Wikipedia, that's a bigger task than its worth just because some people don't like our site. :) - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 16:21, 8 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
** Wikipedia is still a good place for useful or neat information, even if there are a few vocal editors that don't like Heroes Wiki. I think that if a link adds to the article it should be kept (or added), there is no reason to withhold information just because they do. -[[User:Level|Level]] 16:23, 8 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
** Sounds like someone's acting a little territorial. Funny they should disparage HeroesWiki for being a fansite when it says on the front page that that's exactly what we are. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 16:52, 8 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
** There are two things at play here. First off, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, Heroes Wiki is a fansite albeit one based on collecting information on Heroes. Wikipedia has more strict criteria for inclusion than we do. As such, it may or may not be appropriate for there to be a link from Wikipedia to here. That's up to their policies and personally it doesn't matter to me if they link to us or not. Secondly you've got some people on Wikipedia who have trouble detaching emotion from their work there. Perhaps frustrated by the popularity of Heroes Wiki since Heroes Wiki, by its very nature, is designed to be more oriented towards what fans want to see rather than being constrained by the rules of an encyclopedia. There are pros and cons to either approach. In any event Wikipedia is a good resource despite the actions of certain problem editors. We currently link to Wikipedia for non-Heroes content as any Heroes-related content we'd just add here ourselves. As far as the Heroes pages on Wikipedia go, I'd just suggest ignoring the discussions. Their opinions aren't really important to us. :) ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:25, 8 January 2007 (EST)) |
|||
== Do we place the comics in the "Next on Heroes" box? == |
|||
Or do they manage to keep all info about it under wraps so that there would be nothing for us to write about them before they are released? [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 15:24, 10 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
* Unfortunately, that's generally how it works. The comics usually aren't even released on NBC.com until like 3AM on Tuesday morning (I'd check, but I'm lazy, but I think it's after the Hawaii broadcast). Someone somewhere knows what the next one will be, but they're tight-lipped. The only reason we get the blurb we do is that TV Guide publishes the blurb several weeks in advance. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 15:29, 10 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
== Spoiler warning on the 'Next on Heroes' infobox == |
|||
I think it may be useful to add a -very- brief spoiler warning to the "Next on Heroes" infobox. Although this information does come from the widely-read TV Guide, some fans (like me) try hard to avoid exposure to information about future episodes before airdate. So, it may be appropriate to add a two word blurb like: "Warning: Spoilers" to the top line of the box. (If MediaWiki had a better tool for collapsible/expandable boxes, that would probably be best.) Thoughts? -- [[User:DTM|DTM]] 15:23, 18 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
: Similar concerns have been raised on [[Template talk:Nextepisode]]. The ''Next on Heroes'' box has always included either the TV Guide listing or (during the break) information blurbs from the NBC site. Personally, I do not feel the information is too spoilerish, but then again I practically breathe this stuff. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 16:01, 18 January 2007 (EST) |

Heroes Reborn
I changed the very old "Next Graphic Novel" section to direct to Heroes Reborn. No spoilers, just a point to the new page. I figure that it should be a bit more prominent than it is. Also, I figure that's what people are looking for when they come to the site. Any objections? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:21, 20 April 2014 (EDT)
Language Bar
I combined the languagebar with the mediabar since the language bar was looking kind of skimpy. I changed the name to the all-encompassing "Sites Related to Heroes Wiki". If it's an issue, let me know and I can revert everything. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:57, 8 April 2015 (EDT)
