== Page Adding Checklist ==
this will make it easier for me to keep track of conversations.


==Matt feedback loop file==
So I was thinking of somehow doing a checklist of things that need to be done when a new article is added. For instance, when somebody adds a location, they should update [[Portal:Locations]] and [[Template:Location]]. When somebody adds a Graphic Novel Character, they should update [[Portal:Graphic Novel Characters]] and [[Template:GNcharacternav]] ... You get my point. Any thoughts on where such a checklist might go? I was thinking one of the help pages, unless you had a better idea. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 08:51, 1 January 2007 (EST)
My computer (and probably a few others') do not support .ogg format. Would you mind reuploading [[Image:Powers peter matt.ogg]]. [[User:Shoyru1177|Shoyru1177]] 18:51, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
* Sounds about right. [[Help:Editing]] has a (small) section about adding new articles that could be linked out to something like Help:New article checklist. There's already a smidge of info on adding a new episode which could be moved into the new article.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:26, 1 January 2007 (EST)
* Unfortunately, .OGG is the only audio format supported by MediaWiki for uploads by default, in part because it's free and open source. Codecs like MP3 are actually proprietary and licensed and thus cost money.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 11:42, 22 June 2008 (EDT)


== Integrating Story Arcs ==
== [[Intuitive aptitude]] ==


I guess NBC liked your suggestion. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:50, 7 February 2008 (EST)
* I had some ideas on how we can integrate some information about the story arcs. One thing is that [[Season One]] is getting a bit unwieldy. Maybe we can break it into individual articles for the arcs (like [Season One:Are You on the List? or something) and summarize the arcs on the main Season One page. We can also use the arcs to break [[Portal:Episodes]] into subpages, which we'll have to do sometime soon.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:18, 2 January 2007 (EST)
* Looks like it! BTW, I should be back full-time on Monday (project is wrapping up) -- anything major I've missed in the last two weeks?--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:51, 7 February 2008 (EST)
** I love it! I've been wanting to do that since I first read about Heroes, even before I ever caught an episode. (Yes, I'm a latecomer to the show - I've actually still never seen Genesis all the way through.) I especially like the idea for the portal page - makes the most amount of sense there. As for the Season One page, I kind of like that it's a list of all the episodes, albeit a bit long (and growing). Splitting the eps is a bit of dangerous ground - it's not really canonical, and there's no guarantee that eps will continue in arcs as such ... But I say let's go for it - we'll cross problematic bridges as we come to them. I'm not opposed to changing the layout of Season One - just not sure it's the ''best'' place for it. Let's try it an see... - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 19:29, 2 January 2007 (EST)
**The server crashed and I single-handedly recreated the entire site... :) Nothing major, just a few fun graphic novels. Evolutions has been quite slow lately. Glad to see you back. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 17:54, 7 February 2008 (EST)
*** Please... as if I don't keep backups. :) As for the intuitive aptitude, that's really neat. I find it amusing when I see people call it that even on Wikipedia when I believe it was a term Hardvice coined right here. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 20:49, 7 February 2008 (EST))

*****I'm glad to see it got shown on tonight's episode. Not all of us get to impact the show in such a way, y'know? --[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 02:40, 17 February 2009 (EST)


== [[:Category:Characters]] autocat ==
==References Split==
Speaking of splitting portals, I was thinking the [[Portal:References]] might need to be split soon. Maybe a simple subcat like "Movies" or "Comics" or something. Too soon? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 19:29, 2 January 2007 (EST)


Why was the autocategorization for [[:Category:Characters]] [http://heroeswiki.com/index.php?title=Template%3ACharacter_box&diff=160568&oldid=158029 removed]? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:18, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

*Thanks. I just wish there was some more information we could throw in there. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 15:27, 3 January 2007 (EST)
** So no objection if we restore it? I'd rather have the template autocat all the characters than have some characters have the cat and others not. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:36, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

* I wonder IF this work It's my 1st time Sending a Message I'm wondering IF this is the correct way.

**If you want to have it automatically align it, just add the colons to the text you typed in [[Special:Preferences]]. But it would be better to put a &lt;br> before them and put the tildes immediately after your comment, and not on the next line ... that way, you still get a line break but it doesn't break the formatting for other people's comments.<br><br>In other words, to get the signature you're using now, change the nickname field to <nowiki>"&lt;br>:::: ~ ~ ~ ~ [[User:Red|Red]] = "</nowiki>. Then, instead of putting it on a new line, put it right after your comment, like this: "comment<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" It will auto-insert the line break


Hey Hardvice. Would you mind calling upon the awesome gun IDing skills of your partner to tell what kind of [[the Bennets' gun]] is? Thanks! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 02:00, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
==Sources==

*[[Help:Sources]] Doesn't Tell me How to use History tab only Talks about type of Sources. <div style="text-align:right;">~ ~ ~ [[User talk:Red|'''Red]] = ''~~&#126;~~''</div>
**I'm not an expert in firearms, but there's an image [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/Taurus-605-left.jpg] on Wikipedia that closely resembles the Bennet's gun. Here's a black version of it: [http://www.waffen-hanje.de/Hanje-27-10-03/Taurus-605.jpg] [[User:Chrisyu357|Chrisyu357]] 14:04, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
** I was linking to [[Help:Sources]] to explain why some things like Niki's power, etc., don't get added to articles. As for the Diff/Hist rollback, it's an admin-only feature. You're better off just recreating the edit. You ''can'' click a version in History, click edit, and click save, but it will undo ''all'' subsequent changes. Again, it's better just to redo the edit manually.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:48, 4 January 2007 (EST)
*** I'm not an expert either, but the grip in [[:Image:Noah_grabs_his_gun.jpg|this image]] doesn't match (the Taurus 605 model's grip is not a complete arc like the Bennets' gun). The barrel of the 605 looks too long and it doesn't match the grip of Bennets' gun. I think it's something like the [http://www.meprolightoutlet.com/item/9863_Taurus_Hand_Guns_Pistols__85__Ultra_Light_Re.aspx Taurus 85 Ultra Light], but with a wooden grip. Does that look right, Hardvice? Are there other manufacturers that you know of that have a similar make?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:16, 22 June 2008 (EDT)


== Help with a useful template you made ==
== Comic Book Guru Needed! ==


Hey, I have a problem with [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]]. I used [[Template:gueststarsnavcell]], but I can't get the random pipes to go away. Any suggestions??? Thanks.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 00:08, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
I understand you have a greater depth of knowledge about comic books than I do. Am I right that [[:Image:The contemplative hero.JPG|the image of D.L. outside the jail]] is referencing a comic book hero? I feel like there's a picture of Spider-man or Superman or Batman sitting in a similar fashion on a gargoyle, or on top of a building. I'd like to add it to references, but I'm not sure if it goes on [[Marvel Comics]] or [[DC Comics]]. ''Help!'' - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 20:48, 6 January 2007 (EST)
* I fixed [[Portal:Guest Cast/Season Two]], but I left the maintenance tag in case you want to edit it some more. You needed to add a table around the entries, and do one call of Template:gueststarsnavcell per line for it to work properly.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:52, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
**Your fix worked, but not in the way I wanted it to. It will fix the pictures, but not the link. I don't know what to fix, so I started down the route of just manually making templates. However, if there's a way to have the link for the second page of season 2 to link to Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season Two or if the season was one, Portal:Guest Cast 2/Season One, then I wouldn't have to manually fix it. The template works like a charm with the season aspect, but it doesn't change the link. That's the problem, and if that's fixed, that would be a great help.--{{User:Baldbobbo/sig}} 02:29, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
*** Right, for the Season One Guest Stars archive, we made a new template instead of using Template:gueststarsnavcell. That template isn't set up to do the archive links, so making a new template was the way to go. I'll look at making a new template so we can consider whether or not to swap out the manual ones.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

How do I nominate pages for deletion? On [http://www.lostpedia.com that other site], all you have to do is add a [[template:delete]]. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 01:06, 9 January 2007 (EST)

I was reading your userpage and I couldn't stop laughing at your theories. I really understand what you mean.
