Important

This page is for AIRED EPISODES ONLY. Do NOT add summaries, pictures, or even titles for episodes that have not aired. Thank you. ---- 00:11, 15 November 2006 (EST)

Story Arcs

Is there some way we can show story arcs among the episodes? While reading the Wikipedia article on Heroes, I noticed that "the first four episodes were dubbed 'Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities.'" I would say the next five eps would be called "Save the cheerleader, save the world" (though I'm sure others have just as valid opinions). Maybe it's too early, but is there any way to show these story arcs? ... Just a thought ... Ryangibsonstewart 18:49, 25 November 2006 (EST)

Grid Format

The grid fortmat looked pretty bad. Sorry to say :(. This looks cleaner and nicer, in my opinion. ---- 17:10, 8 December 2006 (EST)

  • It renders badly at some res, according to some folks. The table is more consistent with similar articles, like powers, too. The blank thumbnails look dumb. We should at least switch to just a fixed pixel width without the thumb.--Hardvice (talk) 01:20, 9 December 2006 (EST)

Summaries

  • The trouble with relying on "two lines or less" is they aren't always going to be two lines or less, depending on the end user's screen res. I try to test any pages with complicated formatting or left-and-right floated images at everything from 800x600 up to 1600x1200, and at 16:9 and 4:3. I wouldn't recommend forcing an image which appears alongside text to anything bigger than 200px or once you factor the sidebar in it ends up taking up the whole screen for our resolution-challenged visitors. That's also why I'm so anal about not forcing thumb widths unless it's necessary (and "necessary" means in a table or list of like-sized images): some people don't want to see a 300px image, and when they've explicitly set their preferences to say so, we ought to respect that whenever possible.--Hardvice (talk) 02:13, 9 December 2006 (EST)
    • Totally agree - I think many don't know that thumbnail size can be changed in the preferences, and that's possibly why some editors are fixing px width. I think it's fine to fix text so it wraps to the default, but realizing that others may see thumbs at different sizes. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:22, 9 December 2006 (EST)

Episode Blurb

The blurb with the episode titles looks very nice, but isn't it kind of redundant? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:31, 20 January 2007 (EST)

It's a table of contents... the links are to the sections below it. (Admin 18:33, 20 January 2007 (EST))
