*I think leaving red ink isn't an entirely bad thing when writing an article since we can always check the list of "wanted articles" and people will always be checking up on them and adding stubs where needed. I'd personally suggest rewording "Either write an entire article, or a brief summary and add the "stubs" template to it" to make it clear that it's more of a suggestion than a rule. One nice thing about the "wanted articles" is that you get the number of pages requesting that article so it's possible to determine the saliency of the request. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 02:25, 7 November 2006 (EST)) |
|||
**I agree. I'd rather have no article than a bad article in most cases. Also, there will be times when we just can't meaningfully add even a stub, like [[Charlie]].--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]][[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]] 02:29, 7 November 2006 (EST) |

==Theories Tab== |

Originally proposed by [[User:ZyberGoat|ZyberGoat]]. |
|||
* I think that's a pretty good idea. --[[User:Heroe|Heroe]] |
|||
*'''Not yet''' It would probably require more work than it would be used for, and they theories do not yet rival the lengths of the articles as they did on Lostpedia. --{{User:ohmyn0/sig}} 22:44, 16 November 2006 (EST) |
|||
* It might not be a bad idea to do something similar with the episode-by-episode character histories, though. They're becoming somewhat cumbersome already ... just imagine what they'll look like after 22 episodes! Maybe we can move the episode-by-episode histories to a tab at the end of the season and leave a season one summary on the main article. As for the actual question, I agree with Ohmyno ... good idea, but premature at the moment.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 22:49, 16 November 2006 (EST) |
|||
**I think the [[Theories]] page is working well for now to serve a similar need. Perhaps in the future it could become unwieldy, but as of now, it is more than appropriate. --[[User:ZyberGoat|ZyberGoat]] 13:11, 5 December 2006 (EST) |

Feel free to check out a radical new fan fiction: ''[[User:Radicell/The Game|Heroes: The Game]]''. Each installment to the game is a "mission" for the player to complete. Visit the [[User:Radicell/The Game/missions|mission list]] to read the two missions that have already been written and released. Enjoy. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 04:47, 23 March 2010 (EDT) |
|||
*I like the idea of a theories tab, as the show continues there will be a need for each page to have it's own theories. The php extention used on Lostpedia is avalible [http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/User:Jabrwocky7/theorytab.php here], so it should be easy enough to put on this wiki.--[[User:Hiro|Hiro]] 12:22, 15 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Looking at the growing theories pages, I think it's really time it's time we take some action to cut them down. We're only through one season and already our theories pages are bloated to the point of explosion. Adding [[Spoiler:Season Two#New Cast Members|fresh blood]] will only exacerbate the problem. I'm ready to try the theories tab that works so nicely for Lospedia. It means a lot of new pages and a lot of work, but I think it might be worth it, especially in the long run. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 08:48, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*** There's another option... we could archive the theories applicable mainly to Season One.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 10:30, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**** Anything to break up those pages...but my concern is that many (or most) of the theories are not just about Season One, but are about a character in general. I'm just afraid that trying to pick a season to which to attribute a particular theory is going to get messy--especially if we have notes and cites from multiple seasons. I'd rather just see all the theories about Sylar at a page called "Sylar/Theories". A tab at the top wouldn't be necessary, but would be a cool added bonus. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 10:43, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
***** If that's the case, couldn't we convert Theories:Characters into a portal? I like that idea better than applying a tab.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 13:08, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
****** Right, it'd probably be best to convert our theories pages we have now into portals. But the portals wouldn't actually house the theories, they would just give links to the subpages. As for at the top, I don't really care one way or another if we actually have a tab or if we just link directly from the base page. A tab at the top is fluff. It's the subpage I'm thinking is best (which would work with or without a tab). -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:18, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
******* Check out what I'm thinking of [[User:MiamiVolts/Theories:Evolved_Humans|here]]. I guess if there's too many characters we could split the portals up into characters introduced in Season 1, characters introduced in Season 2, etc. That was what I'm thinking. Or we could just do a table containing the links, and that way we could fit all of the names on the same page.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 14:31, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
******** I like the layout, but I think that the theories should apply to characters in general. So, for example, more theories come up for Claire in Season Two (like can she grow back limbs, i.e. toes?), they should be included with Season One theories that have yet to be answered. I agree though, that we should separate theories that probably won't be answered in Season Two, like theories on the Crane Boy. A subpage of theories would be sufficient, similar to Season One histories.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 15:03, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
********* With minor adjustments, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too. A table would work, but a portal is more dynamic and fits with the way the site is already organized. A tab on the base page would be an additional feature. I would put all theories about a person (or event or power or whatever) together on the same page. I would definitely ''not'' separate theories that "probably" won't be answered in Season Two. Separating a theory about the Crane boy because he probably won't show up again seems to be too speculative and subjective for me. Who's to say he won't return, or a piece of evidence won't be given that proves or disproves a theory? ... For me, the basic question is if there are any people who are opposed to breaking the behemoth theories pages into subpages. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:10, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
********** Actually, upon closer inspection, I would do a slight switch. Rather than calling a page "Theories:Evolved Humans/Claire Bennet", I'd call it "Claire Bennet/Theories". I would make Claire the base page. That would avoid a lot of problems and make the switch a lot easier. If a person exhibits powers during the course of a season, his theory page wouldn't have to switch name. For example, instead of switching "Theories:Humans/Kaito Nakamura" to "Theories:Evolved Humans/Kaito Nakamura", he would just stay "Kaito Nakamura/Theories". The change to [[template:theories]] would also be minimal if it's a subpage of the character rather than a subpage of Theories:Evolved Humans. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:26, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*I didn't really followed the thread but I agree with Ryan. Having a subpage for each character's theorie sounds a good idea and easy to manipulate. (let's get back to the left of the page :) )--{{User:FrenchFlo/sig}} 17:20, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
== |
== Visions of Earth needs help! == |
||
* Ok, so I changed my [[User:MiamiVolts/Theories:Evolved_Humans|example]] to use the character as the base, but are you sure about this switch? Yes, it's one less thing to change, but we'll still have to modify the portal each time a character changes status and this will make it more difficult to determine which characters/items/etc. have theories.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:55, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Actually, you wouldn't change based on if they're an evolved human. By making one page that lists ALL theories based on individuals rather than a separate page for EH and humans (since you can see that they're an EH from the character page), this would be the easiest. In addition, it shortens the theories page, and keeps it localized. I like the idea, Ryan.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 17:03, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*** You confused me there, Bob. Ryan isn't suggestion to group together the EH and human portal, just to change the name of the subpage. There still needs to be seperate portals for EH and humans, since there's just too many character for a single portal. My comment was that the initial way I had my example, you could do a search for 'Theories:Evolved Humans/' and find all of the related theories subpages to ensure all of them are linked correctly. You can't do that if we use the character article for the base.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:41, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**** In the end, I don't really care what the portal looks like, whether it's all the theories on one page or separated, or whether it has images or is just a table. My biggest concern is that the theories are subpages of the character page, not the theories page. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 18:05, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
***** Another option, which kind of takes care of both problems, is to make "Theories" a namespace. I'd be fine with "Theories:Claire Bennet". Then, theories could be easily searched if needed; more importantly, the theories ''wouldn't'' be included in a normal search (kind of like spoilers). [[User:Admin|Admin]]? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 15:06, 30 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
****** I like that idea, Ryan. Hope Admin agrees.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:15, 30 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
****** Bumping this page so Admin has a better chance of noticing it.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 23:02, 31 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
******* Sounds reasonable. I can setup a "Theories" namespace. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 00:54, 1 September 2007 (EDT)) |
|||
******** Great. I've changed my [[User:MiamiVolts/Theories:Evolved_Humans|example]] to use the "Theories:<Character/item/event>" format. Is it already setup?--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:09, 1 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
********* You'll know it's set up when Admin moves all the pages, deletes them, and moves them back. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 01:16, 1 September 2007 (EDT) |
|||
********** Heh, nicely worded reminder there for Admin to rebuild the links table. ;)--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:25, 1 September 2007 (EDT) |

Hey everyone! So as most of you probaly know, I am writing a fan fiction called [[User:Leckie/Visions of Earth|"''Visions of Earth''"]], currently I am needing some help with the administrative side of it. E.g. Updating character histories, abilities etc. So, I am looking for someone who is interested in helping me. There shouldn't be too much work to do considering only one episode has been released. So if anyone is interested, please respond on [[User talk:Leckie|my talk page]]! Thank you! :) --{{User:Leckie/Signature 10}} 19:04, 26 March 2010 (EDT) |

== Character Summary and Character History == |
|||
== Few things that can be improved == |
|||
The main character pages are getting quite long. I suggest we have 2 pages for each character: a Character Summary page, and a Character History page. (These don't need to be the actual names - it's just an idea.) This could be done so the main page is the summary (which would be a long summary, all important info, but not every detail), and there would be a tab or an achive for the in-depth history (which would include each episode's information for the character). This would mean a little more work when it comes to updating after a new episode, but it would make the site look so much cleaner. And the extra work would (hopefully) be absorbed by our growing community. Any thoughts? - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 00:23, 6 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
* Oh hey. Read what I said two comments up. :) Seriously, though, I think what we should do is wait until the season ends, archive them to a new page, and add a season summary with a link to the full history. Then, next season we let them bloat up again and repeat. Each characrter's page will thus have a summary of past seasons and a detailed history for the current season.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 00:50, 6 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
**Good idea - I think we could wait till the end of the season to archive. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 00:56, 6 December 2006 (EST) |
|||
Ok, first off, Great wiki, but i would improve a few things. |
|||
== Full episodes at NBC == |
|||
On the Character pages, we have (example) |
|||
* NBC's got all the episodes available to watch on their site at the moment, so I added links to all the episode articles for people who would like to watch them. Normally links would be best placed at the bottom of the article, but in this instance I think it would be good for people to see the links before they potentially read the synopsis, but after they read the summary so they know what the episode is about first, so I placed them at the top. Plus I think this will be a good thing to get people through the hiatus. If they come across an episode they haven't seen yet they can just click the link and watch the episode. If the episodes had been hosted by anyone other than NBC I wouldnt have added them, but since it's them I went for it. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:47, 10 December 2006 (EST)) |
|||
** Thanks, what a great idea. Can't wait to go back and check out some old eps. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 22:23, 10 December 2006 (EST) |

*Thanks Hardvice! I added a few red links for articles I think might have some merit in being written - ie, red links that already exist, people with more than one reference already, pictures of people, etc. I'm not quite ready to write them all yet, but I think we should keep them red and somebody will get around to them ...

(''"Thanks, NBC, for such descriptive credits," he says sarcastically.'') For instance, I have no idea who Adam Harrington (the paramedic in ''Hiros'') is, and I really don't think he needs an article yet.

As a reader of Lostpedia, I noticed that they've recently rolled out a new feature: theory tabs at the top of pages. Considering Heroes is still at a relatively young point and theories aren't quite as numerous, rampant, and developed as in Lost, I think that as time progresses, it could be a good idea. It could definitely help keep the pages less cluttered. Please discuss any thoughts on this article's discussion page. [[User:Ted C]] |

== Standardizing External Links == |
|||
.... |
|||
Why can we not have a sweeping few paragraphs for the whole of volume 3 & 4 & 5 like we do for Season/Volume 1 & 2 rather than an episode by episode breakdown (which could be in its own article like "Claire Bennet: Season One History" and "Claire Bennet: Season Two History".)? |
|||
I'm noticing that a lot of our "External Links" sections follow different formats. Some include the title of the page in the link, others the domain name, and still others don't really fall into a category. I think we need to standardize our links. I'm open to anything, but I suggest we include the title of the page inside the link, and then (if applicable), a hyphen and the domain name outside the link, along with an explanation if necessary. As well, I think all external links should be bulleted, even if there's only one (which I think we generally do already). For example: |
|||
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_brain Monkey brain] - Wikipedia |

Anyone else notice the new feature over on NBC's website? It's their own "[http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/wiki/index.php/Main_Page HeroesWiki]". :( --[[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] 10:05, 22 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
: No, I had not noticed.... browsing now, the page appears brand spanking new (given that the Main Page has only been referenced 61 times for me) and that all the content pages are empty. Hmm... --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 10:14, 22 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
: It's not a big deal, really. It'll be interesting to see how theirs plays out, but their wiki is a few months late. I still think our site is and will remain the best. :) I think between here and Wikipedia most people interested in a Heroes wiki have already found a site that suits their needs. Their site is somewhat redundant. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:19, 22 January 2007 (EST)) |
|||
:: Has someone managed to create an account there? I just come to the log-in page, but never to the create account page. -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 16:07, 24 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
::: You have to make a forum account - although I think it won't let you edit or create an article even if you are registered. --[[User:Joshtek|Joshtek]] 15:09, 25 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::: Then what is the point????? -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 01:35, 26 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
::::: Probably to sue us into oblivion, but let's hope not. :) --[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 01:43, 26 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::::: I dread the day we'll have to use that. The way it's formatted and the abundance of ads on the page make it really annoying. Could they really just shut this wiki down with a lawsuit? What they're offering to replace this is rather shoddy and disappointing. =( --[[User:ZachsMind|ZachsMind]] 13:05, 1 February 2007 (EST) |
|||
::::::: I don't think that would ever be a genuine worry. We're a fansite, we don't refer to ourselves with any sort of "official" moniker, and everything we have here would constitute fair use (and anything that doesn't is taken care of very quickly). There's little grounds for a lawsuit and even less motivation. --[[User:ZyberGoat|ZyberGoat]] 13:15, 1 February 2007 (EST) |
|||
::::::: It's unlikely, but all fan content exists basically by the grace of the intellectual property owners. Having their own Wiki only helps inasmuch as they can claim we're a "replacement" for their content, which makes fair use a tougher defense to prove. But I was mostly kidding. Networks almost never go after fans, for obvious reasons. Remember the huge publicity hit Warner Bros. took when they tried to shut down all the Harry Potter sites right after they got the film rights? That said, some creators are more inclined to zealously protect their IP than others. That's why none of the fanfiction sites allow Anne Rice fan fiction -- she hates it and actually will sue, or at least will send nasty letters threatening to do so. But yeah, long story short I was mostly kidding. It's pretty unlikely NBC would try to dissuade fan sites for one of their few cash cows. More likely some marketing type told them it would be cool to add a Wiki along with their new multimedia push. That's backed up pretty well by their fundamental misunderstanding of how a Wiki works.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:22, 1 February 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::::::: Plus they have their own "official" message board and there are a bunch of other large Heroes message boards out there as well that they haven't put any pressure on. I agree with Hardvice that their PR people or the people they have running 9thwonders.com probably thought it would be a neat idea to start up an "official" one. It's not like we're making episodes available here and impacting their revenue or anything. Nor are we trying to make a profit off of their show, so they probably don't even care about us. :) In any event I wouldn't worry about it. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 13:33, 1 February 2007 (EST)) |
|||
* After a month and a half, they have [http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/wiki/index.php/Special:Statistics 37 pages, 8 images, and 764 edits]. Hooray, Official Heroes Wiki! :P --[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:52, 10 March 2007 (EST) |
|||
* And 7 users! Haha! :P [[User:Heroe|<span style="color:green;">Heroe</span>]] 18:24, 10 March 2007 (EST) |
|||
And finally my second idea. |
|||
==Recent lack of commenting in the Summary== |
|||
I just noticed we have a lot of new people who have contributed some great stuff, but they don't leave any comments in the summary fields, so chechangelogs become completely meaningless. Am I just being anally retentive or should some sort of educational drive be started? -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 13:11, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:I've to say that I'm new to the wiki things and I first thought that only Admins could leave comments since I always see Hardvice leaving comments and not the others people. But since today I always leave a comment now and I agree that it should be almost mandatory before accepting an edit/new. (forgive my english :p ) |
|||
::It's not a huge problem, since all changes get reviewed anyway, but it is a good idea to add a summary (which reminds me, I need to turn the summary prompt back on in my [[Special:preferences|preferences]]). But I went ahead and added a section about edit summaries to [[Template:Welcome]]. It's covered in more detail in [[Help:Editing]].--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:22, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
::: Would it be inappropriate to set that option on by default for new users? -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 13:26, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::: I think it should be. I wouldn't have forget to add Summary the first time I posted here ! --[[User:FrenchFlo|FrenchFlo]] 13:33, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::: I'm not sure if it's possible. [[User:Admin|Admin]] will know. As for appropriate ... it's a little rude, but I guess [[Template:Welcome]] could be adjusted to tell people how to turn it off. I'm not sure how I feel about setting people's prefs for them, though.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:35, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
::::: I don't follow how setting a preference would be rude. We give every user default settigs. In this case, the default happens to be that something is switched off. To change that default is no more rude than to not change it, no matter how I try to look at it. -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 14:37, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::::: It's potentially rude because it discourages people from editing freely. I wouldn't want someone to go to the trouble of writing a contribution, hitting save, and then have them not understand what the prompt is asking them for, get frustrated, and leave. When a user has turned on the setting, they know what to expect. When they haven't, a user who isn't familiar with Wikis might not understand why their edit wasn't accepted.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:44, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
::::::: Well, in that case, the problem is that the notice is far too tiny, contains far too much text and is almost completely impossible to see. The problem is not with the option itself. So the notice should be fixed, and the the option enabled. -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 14:49, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::::::: I'm not sure how much control we have over the notice (most system messages can be changed, however), but even if it was in 100pt font in a flashing marquee, there will be some users who don't read it or don't understand it. Besides, it seems Wikis work better when people worry more about their own contributions and less about other people's contributions. There's nothing anyone can do that can't be changed.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 14:53, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
::::::::: Well, I guess my programmer roots have their grip on me in this. Either way, Admin can rul either way. -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 15:17, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:::::::::: I, for one, wouldn't want to have that notice enabled. I was clueless when I began wiki-ing. (I didn't even know you could edit an article. Please don't laugh.) It took me months before I knew anything about the process, and the edit summaries, believe it or not, were really scary to me. It would certainly be helpful if people commented on their edits, but certainly not necessary. I actually think it's sometimes nice to ''ignore'' the summaries - that way I check all edits, and don't gloss over it just because of the summary. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:47, 28 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:Change summaries are very helpful and should definitely be encouraged (and I have my prefs set to warn me when I forget to leave one), but they're not required. I think many people after being here a while start to not only get a feel for the article styles but also for the way things are handled here. I dont think we need to force summary warnings on by default, I think most people will start using them on their own. As an editor one can take advantage of summaries to help clarify the reasons or sources behind an edit. This can often help reduce the number of edits that end up being reverted, so in the end editors probably find it worthwhile to add summaries whenever possible. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 18:18, 1 February 2007 (EST)) |

Maybe we could have some articles on "Character X & Character Y History" Documenting the relationship between two different characters in the show history, so when two characters who do not normally meet (like Ando and Noah) there could be one article to tell us the relation and previous meeting of these characters. |
|||
==Hana and Ted, sittin' in a tree...== |
|||
Neat preview. How do we deal with it? Do you think it's going to be from an episode (in which case we just wait) or is it actually "exclusive" (and then how do we chronicle it?)--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 20:55, 22 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
:Of course, it's way to early (maybe only an hour, if we're lucky) to make a decision. But if it's never show on an episode, we could give it a name (I suggest something other than "Hana and Ted, sittin' in a tree..." hehe) and treat it like [[In His Own Image]], or the GNs. Near canon. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 21:00, 22 January 2007 (EST) |
|||
This would need a LOT of new articles (~30 characters in Heros, meaning we would have 900 new articles) But when we are watching season 5 (hoping there will be a season 5) we can instantly track previous characters interactions even if they barely met before. |

EDIT: Damn it, no sooner have i finished complaining about Heroes wiki have i noticed Heroes wiki has already changed, looks like my first idea is already being implemented before i can even complain about it. Never mind, however i would still like to push my second idea. [[User:Mr Hiro|Mr Hiro]] 21:08, 10 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
*So long as we don't append silly "Sythan" style names to the pages (but rather something like Connection:Nathan Petrelli and Sylar), I think this could be a really good idea. Lots of Season One's plot points revolved around stuff like this. --'''[[User:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Ricard</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Desi</font>]]''' 21:15, 10 April 2010 (EDT) |

*** It wouldn't be a fan creation, first of all. --{{User:BoomerDay/Signature}} 01:19, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
****The only thing that's really stopping the relationships being a canon analysis is the names that we've given them. If they were renamed to ''Relationship:Hiro and Charlie'' for example, all the information and interactions come from canon sources and is canon. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 08:29, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
*****So we're basically looking at a massive move from all the corny fan creation names to "Connection/Relationship:X and Y", right?--''<small>[[User:Boycool42|<font color=blue>BOYCOOL</font>]]</small>'' -- '''''<big>[[User talk:Boycool42|<font color=black>THE END IS NIGH.</font>]]</big>''''' 09:32, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |

******I simply don't think such articles are necessary. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 09:48, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
*I agree that we don't need to duplicate/change the articles. I think the Relationship articles are okay as they are. I've grown to like having them as fan creations.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 11:28, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
** I'm also not a fan of adding 900 new articles that need to be maintained when we have a hard enough time maintaining the articles we already have in existence. So many of those silly relationship articles--which could serve the purposes stated above, despite being fan creation articles--are stubs, and are looong stubs, at that. Even the [[connections]] page could be beefed up, but that page really is rarely touched, so I'm afraid to see what would happen when we add 900 more pages like it. Ultimately, this would be a huge project, and one I'm not very excited about. If somebody would like to create it in their user space and then move it into the main namespace when it's all finished, that is something we can certainly discuss. However, I have a feeling that the massive size of this undertaking will prove overwhelming and not worth the effort. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:37, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
***That's the thing though, if it were to be done, it be a waste of memory. The relationships already exist and use only canon information. If we created these articles, the only reason they'd be canon and not fan creations is the name. As soon as we slap a fan made name on anything it becomes a fan creation. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 16:45, 11 April 2010 (EDT) |
|||
*This is my first time posting something here so please bear with me: I have a minor alteration request that I would like to run by the community and that is changing the character box on the right side where it says '''known ability''' to just '''ability''' because I find it a bit confusing for people we know have an ability, we just don't know what it is so ''none'' is posted, to me implying they don't have one. For the change if the character isn't an evolved human we put ''none'' and if he/she does but we don't know we put ''unknown'' Or, for example, Kaito's character bio we could put ''unk, see notes'' That's my two cents. -- [[User:Inblackestnight|Inblackestnight]] 23:57, 31 May 2010 (EDT) |

==Newbie Guide?== |
|||
== The future is now == |
|||
In writing the [[Glossary]] the thought occurred to me that maybe we should have a [[Newbie Guide]] prominently featured on the front page, for people who are new to the show and come here for info. I am thinking a simple page with links to the Episodes Portal, the Glossary and one or two more pages that help the beginner get started. Once you get into the wiki, moving around is pretty simple, but as a first-time viewer, the [[Main Page]] doesn't really lead te viewer straight into the heart of the Wiki. -- [[User:Cuardin|Cuardin]] 13:55, 29 January 2007 (EST) |

It's only just now occurred to me. Assuming Heroes gets picked up for a fifth (and almost certainly final) season, and if they're smart enough to fast forward through most of 2010, we'll actually get a look at the dreaded year 2011, when everything seems to go wrong.

* For the past couple weeks I've drastically scaled down (practically eliminated in fact) the amount of paid advertising for Heroes Wiki and I'm happy to say that we've been doing very well since then. We're past the point where we need paid advertising to spread the word about this site. We have a constant influx of new members and people enjoy this wiki so much that they're spreading the word to others who haven't heard about it so we have more new visitors all the time. In addition due to our popularity we're doing better in Google results which helps more people find the information they're looking for here on this wiki. I wanted to take a moment to once again thank all the editors who have made this wiki as great as it is. I also want to thank all the visitors who spread the word about the wiki and help make us even more popular. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 15:46, 9 February 2007 (EST)) |

Did any of you watch this ''fantastic'' show that ran from 2004 to 2007?

Is there a specific place to discuss the show (ie a specific episode, or a character/actor) when it's not really fact based.. more like just what you thought of the episode or acting or whatever? I see a little of it on the talk pages for the episodes but I was thinking it would be cool if there was a community portal section where we could chat about the show on a more social level without cluttering the talk pages for editors.

NBC will be starting a new affinity program later today, May 17, called "Fan It". I'm hoping that there might be something related to ''Heroes'' in the program, though I wouldn't place good odds on it. You can read about it on the NBCUMV website, at [http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/content_display/news/digital-downloads/broadband/e3i8f23a69d15c6258db333f7f2648d8789 MediaWeek], or [http://thingfo.com/in-the-news/75-nbc-unveils-unprecedented-network-wide-affinity-program-fan-it-utilizing-social-media-to-reward-its-most-dedicated-fans.html ThingFo]. According to the press release, it will be "allowing visitors to earn points by watching videos, chatting about shows, and sharing content with friends. The program requires fans to sign up to participate at [http://www.NBC.com/fanit http://www.NBC.com/fanit], though they can do so using their existing Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or MyNBC accounts. |
|||
* Sounds like an interesting idea. Got any suggestions for a name for the area? Like "The Heroes Wiki Campfire" or something else that indicates an informal group discussion. Also suggestions for how to organize the sections? For starters there could be an Episodes section where the discussions are broken out by episode. Perhaps a character's section where they're broken out by character/actor as well? --''The preceding unsigned comment was left by [[User:Admin]] at 05:53, 28 February 2007'' |

****The talk pages seem to be how it's done right now, though there's not a lot of that type of discussion going on.

Well, the Fall Preview is up at nbc.com. It looks like ''Heroes'' lost to a show called ''The Event'', that's trying really hard to be some kind of ''Lost''/''Flashforward'' show... gotta be honest, looking at the line-up, I think NBC is going to get flattened this year. --'''[[User:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Ricard</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Desi</font>]]''' 09:36, 17 May 2010 (EDT) |

*Yeah, nothing looks particularly interesting other than Chuck. What could happen is, if none of these new shows get much viewings, NBC might bring back Heroes, or give them a few years out then bring them back, because although the fan base is small, it is a solid fan base. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 10:47, 17 May 2010 (EDT) |

So I'm noticing that some of the examples on the [[Portal:Powers|powers]] pages are in chronological order, and some are in episodic order. On top of that, the galleries don't always match the order of the examples. We really should standardize this so they're all the same. Personally, I think if there is an episodic/GN cite, it doesn't need (and shouldn't be) in chronological order, but in episodic order. But that would mean a lot of changes, since it seems most are chronological. In the end, I don't really care which way they are, but they should be standard. Any thoughts? — [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 20:25, 21 March 2007 (EDT) |

***I'm resurrecting an old conversation. The more I think about it, the more I think the order of examples should be in episodic order. Almost the entire site is that way--those few pages that are in chronological order seem quite out of place on the wiki. But even more importantly, having the examples and images in episodic order makes the page easier to navigate, encourages newer users (or at least those not as familiar with ''Heroes'') to contribute, and prevents arguments about potentially ambiguous flashbacks that don't exactly specify chronology when compared to previously established chronology. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:42, 15 July 2007 (EDT) |
|||
****I think I got them all, but it'd be nice if somebody could go through the powers (and their examples) and double check. Funny--in the beginning of the season we were using a variety of ordering methods, but towards the end we started migrating towards using just episodic ordering. Guess it's meant to be. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:31, 16 July 2007 (EDT) |

Now that Heroes has ended, I decided to do as if it was being published again or to recreate all contents of Heroes especially the Heroes 360 and Heroes Evolutions (including MySpace pages, blogs, graphic novels, iStories, webisodes etc.) in the exact same order it was done four years ago back in 2006. I've opened a Google group page called "[http://groups.google.com/group/reexperienceheroes?hl=en Reexperience Heroes]" where all the announcements about new episode airing, new graphic novel released etc. will be done. And the dates and hours it happened four years from now, will be exactly the same. So, today is July 21 2010, in the Reexperience Heroes we're in July 21 '''2006'''. Therefore we already have the MySpace pages of [http://www.myspace.com/clairebennetrh Claire] and [http://www.myspace.com/zachtothefuturerh Zach].

Now that Heroes has ended, should we put articles into past tense? Episodes articles should stay present tense for the plots, as these should be read as though the reader is describing the show as it happens. For character articles, I think it would be best if they were all in past tense, but for crew and actor articles, they should ''all'' be in past tense as is is unlikely than many of us will be checking up one every one of there careers.

== Something every single one of you may be interested in (though unrelated to Heroes) == |
|||
== Frequent Misconceptions == |
|||
Hey guys, it's been a while. Figured I'd pop in and give you all a heads up about a show I just discovered that's caught my interest. |
|||
* I was thinking about creating an article like "Frequent Misconceptions" or "FAQ" where we list common errors and misconceptions and provide the correct answers along with the proof. For instance the effect they use for Sylar's voice is being frequently confused with Eden's power of [[Persuasion]] so we could list that along with links and excerpts from the interview where the writers explicitly explain it. The criteria for inclusion might be a little different than most articles. We might have to rely mostly on direct answers from writers and other production staff in interviews rather than simply include evidence from the show itself (since in many instances the interpretation of the evidence from the show may be in question). Any comments? ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 11:08, 4 May 2007 (EDT)) |
|||
It's a documentary show on the History Channel called Stan Lee's Superhumans. Basically the show is run by Stan Lee, who sends Daniel Browning Smith, a man who is considered to be the most flexible man in the world. He searches out humans across the world who are rumored to have "Super Powers", he witnesses them do their thing, and then he tries to find an explanation for the phenomenon. The first episode, for example, had a man who is [[electrical absorption|able to absorb or conduct electrical current without sustaining any harm]]; a man who's brain works faster than a calculator; a 5'6" man able to [[Super strength|snap steel, bend metal, and hold a motorcycle back with his hands]], and a blind man who can navigate via echolocation. Another episode featured a man who could punch with more lethal force than a 30+MPH car crash. It's wild stuff, and though Heroes was a drama show, I'm sure enough of us are fans of Super Humans in general, so I'm positive most of you would enjoy it. Anyway, hope all is well here. :)--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 01:52, 14 August 2010 (EDT) |

Looking over it briefly we would need to clean it up and change some things if we just made it a Heroes FAQ. Plus all the alt.tv.heroes list info would have to be removed. There may be some speculation in there as well. On the other hand, if we had a fan-creation article called alt.tv.heroes then the FAQ could be part of that article without having to be modified, but just as we don't create articles for individual fan sites I'm not sure we should be creating an article for individual mailing lists.

Does anyone still edit around here (except for good old Ryan)? I've just spent half an hour browsing through the articles and discussions on this site out of boredom, and I've been feeling small blasts of nostalgia and a lingering sadness that ''Heroes'' has forever ended and, really, so has our little community of Heroes Wiki editors. The Event Wiki just doesn't seem to have picked up the same momentum that we had around here. Anyway, this is also a sort of shout-out to all those Heroes Wiki editors I've met and worked with throughout the years, since I never really said a proper thank-you.

So I was reading [http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6550/dan_houser_on_how_rockstar_does_it.php this interview] with Rockstar Games' founder, Dan Houser. Look at the last question on the last page. |

'''It's funny. I spoke with Tim Kring, the creator of the TV show Heroes, earlier this year, and even that show had so much mythology going on he said that the writers lost track. But thankfully, the fans were so obsessive they had basically put together a wiki, and the writers were pulling information from that.''' |
|||
Just to let everybody know, the full episodes will only be available on NBC until this Friday, August 3rd. After that, I believe they will only be available on DVD. Watch 'em while you can! -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 03:59, 31 July 2007 (EDT) |
|||
DH: We do the same. I would be very surprised if anyone working on a long running thing like this that is popular these days isn't. The wiki is pretty good. For some of the older games, where I just want to remember a particular person's name or a particular brand or something, it's probably in our records, but some of the details stuff from the wiki is amazing and we love it. |

== Deleted Scenes == |
|||
--[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 17:55, 8 January 2012 (EST) |
|||
The upcoming [[Season One]] [[DVD]] will reportedly have 50 deleted scenes. Very cool--that's an average of about two scenes per episode, though I'm sure they won't be divided that evenly. Additionally, NBC is actually releasing some of the scenes on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHTONtNoKSU YouTube]. I think we should make some mention of these scenes on the episode pages (a brief description), and provide links to the scenes if they exist on YouTube or other sites. I did this for ''[[Fallout]]'' ([[Fallout#Deleted Scenes|take a look]]). If the scene is significant (for instance, a uniformed cop gets [[cryokinesis|frozen]] in a cut scene from ''[[One Giant Leap]]''), it should probably still be mentioned in more detail in the Notes or Trivia section. Anyway, I'm open to suggestions about how this should be laid out, or linked, or if we should include them at all. Let me know what you think. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:45, 3 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* That's great! Thanks, Radicell! Here's [https://twitter.com/#!/TVMoJoe/status/23082631071531008 a tweet] on the original interview. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:11, 10 January 2012 (EST) |
|||
* Okay, so with the release of today's [[DVD]] and its accompanying 50 deleted scenes, we need to talk about where those scenes belong when it comes to [[canon]]. Before today, our main deleted scenes have come from pictures on NBC. We've been relegating deleted scenes exclusively to the Notes sections, as far as I can tell. There are a few exceptions to that (see [[Cryokinesis#Examples]]), but the fact that they're from an unaired scene is still pretty clearly marked. I would suggest we continue doing the same for the deleted scenes. For instance, I don't think we should actually list D.L. as an occupant in the [[Moab Federal Penitentiary]], but rather mention it in the Notes, since, well, he never actually ''was'' a occupant there (the scene was deleted and never aired, right?) The other suggestion I had above was to create a section on episode pages for deleted scenes, which could work, but would only apply to episode pages, and not regular pages... Does anybody have any other thoughts? -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:30, 28 August 2007 (EDT) |

I think maybe we should adopt a similar style to that of Lostpedia. Make a separate page on the wiki for each season's deleted scenes, detail them,. maybe even throw in some transcriptions. Feel free to flesh out this idea. --[[User:Aero Zeppelin|Aero Zeppelin]] 20:48, 28 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* I definitely do not like the idea of transcriptions. For copyright reasons, we really don't have any transcriptions anywhere on this site in the first place ([[memorable quotes]] is pushing it for me). But I don't mind a separate page. However I'm not sure it's necessary when a regular section will do. But that's just me. Maybe people feel they should be separated. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:03, 28 August 2007 (EDT) |

Hey, everybody. The websites TV Binges & Primatech Files are going to do a ''Heroes'' binge on September 6 from 1:00 to 9:00 pm. They will be watching the episodes ''{{ep|101}}'', ''{{ep|117}}'', ''{{ep|120}}'', ''{{ep|123}}'', ''{{ep|201}}'', ''{{ep|323}}'', and ''{{ep|418}}''. (What a great list!) It'll be a neat fan community event on Twitter. Details can be found [http://tvbinges.com/binge/official-binge-page/ at this link]. Just thought I'd pass this along! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:55, 19 August 2015 (EDT) |
|||
I simply feel they should be separated to keep canon confusions to a minimum. Make the episode a hub for canon information and other related observations, and have the Deleted Scenes page cover the questionable canon, rather than blend the two together. Just seems more logical that way, to me at least. --[[User:Aero Zeppelin|Aero Zeppelin]] 23:15, 28 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*Well then the bigger issue is where do deleted scenes fall in canon? I don't mind mentioning them on the powers pages, character pages, etc., but the mentions should be in the Notes. I don't think there'd be anything confusing about that, so long as it's clearly marked "In a deleted scene", or something similar. Putting the incidents on a separate page seems odd to me, especially since there's only a handful per episode. They don't need to be their own section, necessarily, but I'm not sure why they'd need to be on a different page. I mean, many of our notes are written from a real-world perspective, and often talk in depth about things that are not canon. Since deleted scenes fall somewhere in the middle, I think they should really stay on the same page. For me it's more of a question of having their own section or just residing in the Notes section. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:48, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** I think that you're correct in that they should stay in the Notes sections. Whenever we have conflicting information (i.e. something from the GN isn't right compared to the episodes aired) or something not confirmed (i.e. something from [[Heroes 360]]), we generally keep it in the notes section. It allows us to document it, but reserve its information in some notation.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 00:54, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*** I agree about just adding notes and making it clear that it's not canon, but I also wouldn't mind a page with actual straight-up summaries of the deleted scenes, like we have for the episodes proper. And then just link to it from the episode page.--[[User:MistressMerr|Leshia]] 00:56, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
**** I'm assuming you're talking about a page that describes ''all'' deleted scenes (maybe from a season or something?) rather than a page about just deleted scenes from, say, ''Genesis''? Yeah, I wouldn't mind that, that's not a bad idea. But I still think (and I believe most people who have replied are agreeing) the deleted scenes should stay ''somewhere'' on the page, preferably in the Notes. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 01:15, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
*****I would like to make a suggestion on how to handle this. Since the Episode pages themselves are already established, (but we also don't want to overbloat them), I think the cleanest approach to handling deleted scenes would be like this.<p>Create a page that is linked to off of the episodic page, similar to the 'images from Genesis' section that each page has; but it would be something like: 'deleted scenes from Genesis'. The new spawned page would be setup in two sections, one for listing video-links, and the other, of the screen-cap pictures from the deleted scenes, similar to how the regular 'images from'....pages work. Doing it in this manner, would allow all episodic pages presently, and in future season box-sets, to be layed out in a similar manner; and also keep from over-bloating the original episodic page with alot of extra deleted stuff. <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 08/29/2007 11:22 (EST)</small> |
|||
****** Personally, I don't think deleted scenes should go on a separate page. The only reason images are kept somewhere else is because they technically belong to a category, and because there are so many that it'd be silly to host them on the regular episode pages. I think deleted scenes should, in most cases, be kept in the notes. If something from a deleted scene is to be included somewhere else (like an Examples section on a powers page or in a Gallery), it should be clearly noted that it's coming from a deleted scene. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 12:21, 29 August 2007 (EDT) |

As I am not comfortable making a moving gif for this ability, I asked Admin about making it, whether it was okay to do so here/elsewhere and if the wiki should have a policy on animated gifs in general for our documentation, etc., and noting that I saw some abilities animated like Tommy's in the new Tumblr blogs shown on the revised [//9thwonders.com 9thwonders.com] site. Admin pointed me to this community portal for my questions. |
|||
[[Talk:Sarmy|The issue came up]] of giving credit to people who begin fan creations. As far as I can tell, we have three fan creations ([[Sarmy]], [[fan powers]], and [[The Marked]]) that mention creators names in some form or another, the most severe being fan powers. Personally, I feel we should not include the names of people who begin something, since almost no contribution, phenomenon, or other kind of creation related to ''Heroes'' is the work of one person, or should have a few people singled out. For instance, just because somebody begins a fan power and assigns their name to it, does that mean that nobody else can edit it? Just because somebody coined the term "Marked", does that imply that it was completely their invention? If we single out a few key members of Sarmy, does the exclusion of other members seem fair? I would find it offensive to see a Wikipedia article about Heroes Wiki, for instance, single out just a few key contributors, when even people that make one or two edits, or just visit the site, have a hand in creating our community. I think the best solution is to take out creators' names altogether. But I'd like to know what others think about it. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:53, 7 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* Agreed. I never really understood why people want "credit" for something that relies upon the creativity of others (in this instance, the writing staff of ''Heroes''). Needless to say, this isn't really the place for doing this. For me, the whole fan creation aspect of this site is something I don't really contribute to, but I can understand its purpose. That being said, I think looking at the history tab is enough to find who contributed to the page.--[[User:Baldbobbo|Bob]] 15:52, 9 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
** Hmm. I kind of agree with Bob, only differing in that I'd go further and restrict all of the fan creations to user subpages such that there can be no complaints of favoritism...--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:58, 9 August 2007 (EDT) |
|||
* I think when we document fan-created groups if there is a clearly-defined originator(s) then I don't see a problem stating that the group was founded or created by that person(s). I do see it as a relatively significant piece of information regarding the group. To take the wikipedia article example, for instance, I wouldn't find it inappropriate for it to mention when Heroes Wiki was started and that I setup the site. I hope that's not my vanity, but if you take the Wikipedia article on [[wikipedia:Lostpedia|Lostpedia]] for instance it does discuss the founder even though many many more people were probably more instrumental in making that site what it is today. The [[fan powers]] are a different case because there we're crediting the information on the wiki to a specific person which I don't feel is really appropriate. For instance, while I wrote the bulk of the episode summaries for the first season so far, they were improved, edited, and corrected by a number of people over time. So the information itself is a collaborative effort, though we do credit the writers and directors of each episode even though many many more people are involved in their creation. In the same way it seems appropriate to allow the primary founders of a fan-created group to include information about the founding. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 21:37, 9 August 2007 (EDT)) |

Visions of Earth needs help!
Hey everyone! So as most of you probaly know, I am writing a fan fiction called "Visions of Earth", currently I am needing some help with the administrative side of it. E.g. Updating character histories, abilities etc. So, I am looking for someone who is interested in helping me. There shouldn't be too much work to do considering only one episode has been released. So if anyone is interested, please respond on my talk page! Thank you! :) --Leckie -- Talk 19:04, 26 March 2010 (EDT)
Few things that can be improved
Ok, first off, Great wiki, but i would improve a few things.
On the Character pages, we have (example)
Claire Bennett: Claire is daughter of Nathan, but adopted daughter of Noah. She can regenerate and blah blah blah
About Claire
She lived in Texas as a cheerleader...
Show History
In Season 1 Claire discovered her ability, ran away from sylar and gets held hostage by Ted, blah blah
In Season 2 Claire moves to Costa Verde and falls for West, blah
Then it goes
In Season 3 episode 1, claire does this
In Season 3 episode 2, we see claire for a slit second drinking tea
In Season 3 episode 3, claire does this and this ....
Why can we not have a sweeping few paragraphs for the whole of volume 3 & 4 & 5 like we do for Season/Volume 1 & 2 rather than an episode by episode breakdown (which could be in its own article like "Claire Bennet: Season One History" and "Claire Bennet: Season Two History".)?
And finally my second idea.
Maybe we could have some articles on "Character X & Character Y History" Documenting the relationship between two different characters in the show history, so when two characters who do not normally meet (like Ando and Noah) there could be one article to tell us the relation and previous meeting of these characters.
This would need a LOT of new articles (~30 characters in Heros, meaning we would have 900 new articles) But when we are watching season 5 (hoping there will be a season 5) we can instantly track previous characters interactions even if they barely met before. Mr Hiro 21:01, 10 April 2010 (EDT)
EDIT: Damn it, no sooner have i finished complaining about Heroes wiki have i noticed Heroes wiki has already changed, looks like my first idea is already being implemented before i can even complain about it. Never mind, however i would still like to push my second idea. Mr Hiro 21:08, 10 April 2010 (EDT)
- So long as we don't append silly "Sythan" style names to the pages (but rather something like Connection:Nathan Petrelli and Sylar), I think this could be a really good idea. Lots of Season One's plot points revolved around stuff like this. --Ricard Desi 21:15, 10 April 2010 (EDT)
- How would that be different from the content in Portal:Relationships?--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:06, 10 April 2010 (EDT)
- It wouldn't be a fan creation, first of all. --Boom D 83 01:19, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
- The only thing that's really stopping the relationships being a canon analysis is the names that we've given them. If they were renamed to Relationship:Hiro and Charlie for example, all the information and interactions come from canon sources and is canon. --mc_hammark 08:29, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
- So we're basically looking at a massive move from all the corny fan creation names to "Connection/Relationship:X and Y", right?--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 09:32, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
- I simply don't think such articles are necessary. --Radicell 09:48, 11 April 2010 (EDT)

- I'm also not a fan of adding 900 new articles that need to be maintained when we have a hard enough time maintaining the articles we already have in existence. So many of those silly relationship articles--which could serve the purposes stated above, despite being fan creation articles--are stubs, and are looong stubs, at that. Even the connections page could be beefed up, but that page really is rarely touched, so I'm afraid to see what would happen when we add 900 more pages like it. Ultimately, this would be a huge project, and one I'm not very excited about. If somebody would like to create it in their user space and then move it into the main namespace when it's all finished, that is something we can certainly discuss. However, I have a feeling that the massive size of this undertaking will prove overwhelming and not worth the effort. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
- That's the thing though, if it were to be done, it be a waste of memory. The relationships already exist and use only canon information. If we created these articles, the only reason they'd be canon and not fan creations is the name. As soon as we slap a fan made name on anything it becomes a fan creation. --mc_hammark 16:45, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
- I'm also not a fan of adding 900 new articles that need to be maintained when we have a hard enough time maintaining the articles we already have in existence. So many of those silly relationship articles--which could serve the purposes stated above, despite being fan creation articles--are stubs, and are looong stubs, at that. Even the connections page could be beefed up, but that page really is rarely touched, so I'm afraid to see what would happen when we add 900 more pages like it. Ultimately, this would be a huge project, and one I'm not very excited about. If somebody would like to create it in their user space and then move it into the main namespace when it's all finished, that is something we can certainly discuss. However, I have a feeling that the massive size of this undertaking will prove overwhelming and not worth the effort. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
- This is my first time posting something here so please bear with me: I have a minor alteration request that I would like to run by the community and that is changing the character box on the right side where it says known ability to just ability because I find it a bit confusing for people we know have an ability, we just don't know what it is so none is posted, to me implying they don't have one. For the change if the character isn't an evolved human we put none and if he/she does but we don't know we put unknown Or, for example, Kaito's character bio we could put unk, see notes That's my two cents. -- Inblackestnight 23:57, 31 May 2010 (EDT)
The future is now
It's only just now occurred to me. Assuming Heroes gets picked up for a fifth (and almost certainly final) season, and if they're smart enough to fast forward through most of 2010, we'll actually get a look at the dreaded year 2011, when everything seems to go wrong. I wonder how they'll choose to address that? --Ricard Desi 12:25, 20 April 2010 (EDT)
- Well everything has been leading there since the beginning, so it would seem. Especially with Claire's most recent actions... --Skullman1392 23:49, 20 April 2010 (EDT)
Fans of The 4400
Did any of you watch this fantastic show that ran from 2004 to 2007? Since activity on Heroes Wiki has slowed dramatically, I've decided to spread my wings: I've taken over The 4400 Wiki as an administrator and I've been working on the site for a couple of weeks now. We're still in the very early stages, and very few articles have been written, so any help we can get is appreciated. Any fans of this show may contribute, although admittedly Wikia's interface takes a bit of getting used to. And to those who haven't watched this show, I strongly recommend you do. --Radicell 09:11, 6 May 2010 (EDT)
- I loved The 4400. I thought it was a very under appreciated show. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:08, 6 May 2010 (EDT)
- Definitely Ryan, me too. -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 04:42, 7 May 2010 (EDT)
- Yeah 4400 was great....except when season 3 rolled around, and Mohinder and everyone began injecting themselves with Promicin. (oops). --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/7/2010 13:14 (EST)
- Definitely Ryan, me too. -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 04:42, 7 May 2010 (EDT)
File
Hey guys, I just find a really good Microsoft Excel file about Heroes, this is the link. There are written all the evolved humans, all the abilities, all the primatech files, a timeline for the Company. All this things there are also on this wiki, but I think you shold look at it. :) (P.S.: You should have installed Microsoft Excel for read this file) --TanderixUTCR14:30, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
- I can't see it, it comes up with something you have to buy. --Leckie -- Talk 14:34, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
- Didn't appear this: "Your file download should start immediately.
If it does not start automatically, please click here to start the download process. Signature and Premium users never have to wait in line to get any public file, so sign up and sign in now and you won't ever have to wait again!"? --Tanderix 14:39, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
- I was able to see it, where did you get it? Cuz it has a LOT of information, but it's not all acurate (it says Lydia's ability is Clairvoyance, for example) and it doesn't look very official. --Skullman1392 17:27, 11 May 2010 (EDT)
- I found it in a 9th Wonders (site) post. I know, it isn't perfect, I changed it on my PC. ;)--Tanderix 14:08, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
New Wiki Project
Hello everyone :) I have recently started a new wiki over at Wikia, about the Percy Jackson series. If anyone is able to help it would be muchly appreciated! :) I hope to be editing with some of you over there. The wiki is currently in very early stages, I only just made it, and any help would be great! Thanks! :D --Leckie -- Talk 14:20, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
- There's another Percy Jackson wiki on wikia, It's here :P. --Jenx222 | U / T / C | <inlcudeonly>08:00, 7 January 2012 (EST) 15:53, 12 May 2010 (EDT)
- I'm sorry to be the one pointing this out but it's "thief" not "theif". --Radicell 03:59, 17 May 2010 (EDT)
NBC 'Fan It' Program Begins May 17, New Ad Campaign
NBC will be starting a new affinity program later today, May 17, called "Fan It". I'm hoping that there might be something related to Heroes in the program, though I wouldn't place good odds on it. You can read about it on the NBCUMV website, at MediaWeek, or ThingFo. According to the press release, it will be "allowing visitors to earn points by watching videos, chatting about shows, and sharing content with friends. The program requires fans to sign up to participate at http://www.NBC.com/fanit, though they can do so using their existing Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or MyNBC accounts.
As people accumulate points, they will be able to redeem them for various prizes, such as access to a yet-to-premiere series, NBC merchandise and entries to sweepstakes. To execute the Fan It program, NBC has partnered with the social media tracking company ThingFo Inc."
Also, "the network will kick off an ad blitz that includes a whopping 19 Microsoft properties and partners, ranging from MSN to Bing to Glo to various Xbox games. As part of the elaborate sponsorship package—which will run through Sept. 20—NBC and Microsoft have collaborated on “Preview to Fall TV” microsite within MSN TV. In addition, NBC will promote its new lineup via Wonderwall, Windows Messenger, and various mobile and social media platforms."--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:05, 17 May 2010 (EDT)
Fall Line-up
Well, the Fall Preview is up at nbc.com. It looks like Heroes lost to a show called The Event, that's trying really hard to be some kind of Lost/Flashforward show... gotta be honest, looking at the line-up, I think NBC is going to get flattened this year. --Ricard Desi 09:36, 17 May 2010 (EDT)
- Yeah, nothing looks particularly interesting other than Chuck. What could happen is, if none of these new shows get much viewings, NBC might bring back Heroes, or give them a few years out then bring them back, because although the fan base is small, it is a solid fan base. --mc_hammark 10:47, 17 May 2010 (EDT)
Keeping the Graphic Novels going.
NBC wants to know whether they should keep the graphic novels going. They've got a thread going on 9th Wonders, so I suggest we all head over there and let them know that we are still wanting the GNs. Thanks guys.--mc_hammark 06:51, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
Season 4 DVD
Is there? I'd love to know what was cut from Season 4. 
AltesUTC CH 07:09, 14 June 2010 (EDT)
- Me too, I really hope there is. I also wanna know what they thought wasn't good enough for the episodes! :L (God I'm sadistic) --Leckie -- Talk 07:11, 14 June 2010 (EDT)
Tim Kring launches new ARG with Nokia
It's called the Conspiracy for Good, and you can find out more info. about it including how to sign up at http://www.nokia.com/press/press-releases/showpressrelease?newsid=1426084 and http://www.conspiracyforgood.com/. It looks like it's not Heroes-related, but I thought it worth mentioning. It begins Mid-July 2010.--MiamiVolts (talk) 10:48, 27 June 2010 (EDT)
Heroes Once Again
Now that Heroes has ended, I decided to do as if it was being published again or to recreate all contents of Heroes especially the Heroes 360 and Heroes Evolutions (including MySpace pages, blogs, graphic novels, iStories, webisodes etc.) in the exact same order it was done four years ago back in 2006. I've opened a Google group page called "Reexperience Heroes" where all the announcements about new episode airing, new graphic novel released etc. will be done. And the dates and hours it happened four years from now, will be exactly the same. So, today is July 21 2010, in the Reexperience Heroes we're in July 21 2006. Therefore we already have the MySpace pages of Claire and Zach. Those who are interested can join the google group also add Claire and Zach as a friend and write comments :) -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 07:38, 21 July 2010 (EDT)
Past tense
Now that Heroes has ended, should we put articles into past tense? Episodes articles should stay present tense for the plots, as these should be read as though the reader is describing the show as it happens. For character articles, I think it would be best if they were all in past tense, but for crew and actor articles, they should all be in past tense as is is unlikely than many of us will be checking up one every one of there careers. But before I do anything I want to see what others say. --mc_hammark 18:54, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
- No, I don't think so. The articles are written from the perspective of happening at the moment. Think of it as watching it on the DVD, if needed. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:47, 17 August 2010 (EDT)
Hey guys, it's been a while. Figured I'd pop in and give you all a heads up about a show I just discovered that's caught my interest. It's a documentary show on the History Channel called Stan Lee's Superhumans. Basically the show is run by Stan Lee, who sends Daniel Browning Smith, a man who is considered to be the most flexible man in the world. He searches out humans across the world who are rumored to have "Super Powers", he witnesses them do their thing, and then he tries to find an explanation for the phenomenon. The first episode, for example, had a man who is able to absorb or conduct electrical current without sustaining any harm; a man who's brain works faster than a calculator; a 5'6" man able to snap steel, bend metal, and hold a motorcycle back with his hands, and a blind man who can navigate via echolocation. Another episode featured a man who could punch with more lethal force than a 30+MPH car crash. It's wild stuff, and though Heroes was a drama show, I'm sure enough of us are fans of Super Humans in general, so I'm positive most of you would enjoy it. Anyway, hope all is well here. :)--Riddler 01:52, 14 August 2010 (EDT)
Kaito Nakamura does have an abillity.
I was watching the bonus dvd from season 2 and i noticed something in the deleted scenes.
He hase the abillity to see the variables of any situation and predict the outcome.
Ando: Like a computer? Kaito: I'm faster. How do you think i've done so well in the stock market?
--StephanOtter 15:53, 5 November 2010
- This has been mentioned several times, it has also been noted in the Notes section on Kaito's page. Also... since it was only shown in a deleted scene it is not official, meaning we can't class it as his ability, unfortunately. --Leckie -- Talk 14:09, 5 November 2010 (EDT)
I miss you guys
Does anyone still edit around here (except for good old Ryan)? I've just spent half an hour browsing through the articles and discussions on this site out of boredom, and I've been feeling small blasts of nostalgia and a lingering sadness that Heroes has forever ended and, really, so has our little community of Heroes Wiki editors. The Event Wiki just doesn't seem to have picked up the same momentum that we had around here. Anyway, this is also a sort of shout-out to all those Heroes Wiki editors I've met and worked with throughout the years, since I never really said a proper thank-you. And hopefully, the next time a highly-anticipated superhero TV series premieres, I'll see you all again. --Radicell 03:05, 22 March 2011 (EDT)
- *sniff* Hey, Radicell. Good to see you around. Yeah, I'm not sure why The Event Wiki hasn't taken off, and more specifically I'm not sure why Heroes Wiki fostered such a neat community. I've been tangentially part of a few other wiki communities -- for shows I've enjoyed more -- and I never felt the same kind of camaraderie as I felt on HW. It's pretty cool to be part of something successful and quality like this site, and I miss it too. :) Ah, such is life... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:07, 22 March 2011 (EDT)
Alphas
I know very few people are going to read this, but for the ones who do, there's a new show airing on Syfy called Alphas that has grabbed my attention. It seems similar to Heroes in many respects and I've been impressed by the pilot episode. Just a note for anyone who's interested: there's an Alphas Wiki that looks like it'd be fun to edit. --Radicell 23:13, 15 July 2011 (EDT)
- Cool, thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:27, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
This made me smile
So I was reading this interview with Rockstar Games' founder, Dan Houser. Look at the last question on the last page.
It's funny. I spoke with Tim Kring, the creator of the TV show Heroes, earlier this year, and even that show had so much mythology going on he said that the writers lost track. But thankfully, the fans were so obsessive they had basically put together a wiki, and the writers were pulling information from that.
DH: We do the same. I would be very surprised if anyone working on a long running thing like this that is popular these days isn't. The wiki is pretty good. For some of the older games, where I just want to remember a particular person's name or a particular brand or something, it's probably in our records, but some of the details stuff from the wiki is amazing and we love it.
--Radicell 17:55, 8 January 2012 (EST)
- That's great! Thanks, Radicell! Here's a tweet on the original interview. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:11, 10 January 2012 (EST)
Binge
Hey, everybody. The websites TV Binges & Primatech Files are going to do a Heroes binge on September 6 from 1:00 to 9:00 pm. They will be watching the episodes Genesis, Company Man, Five Years Gone, How to Stop an Exploding Man, Four Months Later..., 1961, and Brave New World. (What a great list!) It'll be a neat fan community event on Twitter. Details can be found at this link. Just thought I'd pass this along! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:55, 19 August 2015 (EDT)
Animated Gifs and 9thwonders.com
Sandubadear asked on Talk:Hachiro's ability about having a gif of Hachiro's ability being used to materialize Katana Girl (transform her into a physical person), and after I added some screenshots to the ability page Sandubadear told me on my talk page that the desire was really for a moving gif. As I am not comfortable making a moving gif for this ability, I asked Admin about making it, whether it was okay to do so here/elsewhere and if the wiki should have a policy on animated gifs in general for our documentation, etc., and noting that I saw some abilities animated like Tommy's in the new Tumblr blogs shown on the revised 9thwonders.com site. Admin pointed me to this community portal for my questions.
The wiki has had a category for Animations for a while, but we use them only sparingly in articles (most animations don't work inside a gallery). Hopefully, if this is allowed, someone else can help Sandubadear out.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:12, 9 November 2015 (EST)
- Used sparingly, it's allowed, especially for something like showing how an ability's special effect is displayed. I can't help with making the animation though. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:13, 9 November 2015 (EST)
- I agree, and I also do not make animated gifs. Should any more be created I would just suggest that they try to limit to the fewest number of frames necessary to accurately demonstrate the idea in question. (Admin (talk) 20:46, 9 November 2015 (EST))
- Thanks, hopefully someone else will volunteer to help Sandubadear out. Regarding the blogs, for reference, there is the NBC Heroes Reborn Tumblr blog (nbcheroes.tumblr.com)(add this to links?), and there is the NBC 9thwonders Tumblr blog (nbc9thwonders.tumblr.com), which redirects to 9thwonders.com and appears to be a blog with posts from different blogs. The example I noted above of showing Tommy's ability appears to be an official reblog at 9thwonders.com/post/126125489081 (lower right animation) of another user's blog post: endiness.tumblr.com/post/123935456172.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:06, 10 November 2015 (EST)
