Good Idea

It was a good idea to have as we can now find everything a lot easier -- Leckieboy 14:58, 3 May 2009 (EDT)

Idea

• Hey guys, I've got an idea. Right now, every single episode is listed in full on the first page (transclusions are used). It's alright now, but as CH grows, it'll get clogged up. My idea is to make user:Cockney Heroes more of an "overview page" of the entire show. It'll mirror the Heroes page in Heroes Wiki. Inside it, there will be links to individual seasons -- the only one right now is Season One. The Season One page will then mirror the Season One page of the real Heroes Wiki. I've created an example here. Then, each episode page, for example, Nemesis, can be expanded to include a summary, a sidebar, an appearances section, etc. It'll make everything look and work nicer. What do you guys think? --Radicell 07:26, 5 May 2009 (EDT)
  • We were planning to make the main page a summary (just haven't had time) but your idea could work as well. I was thinking making the season page into a summary page similar to yours, but instead of the links to individual episodes (that's kinda more for us to use) I was thinking of making volume pages. I think you raise some very good points, its nice to know we picked the right person to win! I don't think we will make any changes however until next week and we have discussed this. We will keep you informed at every stage if you are not on MSN. Btw I love your example, I am going to move it into the CH name space so it is easier to link to for the others to look at :) --posted by Laughingdevilboy

• • • So it looks like my main page idea was adopted, cool. So are the individual episode pages going to stay as is, like a sort of template page? That's fine I guess. Oh by the way, it'd be cool if in the episode Ambush from an Outside Source, there was a glimpse into Volume Two, and Shark would be introduced. :) --Radicell 10:37, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
      • I had forgotton to tell you lol. We havent decided about the links to the eps yet. I cannot say if you will be introduced (not my department) I do however think you will be introduced in the first ep of volume 2. But I will raise this with the others :) --posted by Laughingdevilboy

• • • • • Not a problem. Writing goes with Irony and GB, right? Alright. When the verdict about the EPs come out, I'll definitely be around to help out with the edits. --Radicell 10:46, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
          • Np Radicell, Sure I can fit you in , And yes there is a volume 2 glimpse (cough FUGITIVES cough) :) Cant say anything else because people will have to wait:) Gabriel Bishop 11:11, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
            • Radicell! I love your example page GREAT idea. I think you know, but I'm not sure, Me and LDB are the Info guys so if you have any ideas about things that can be updated on pages eg. Abilities or Episodes just tell me or LDB and we should get straight on it -- Leckieboy 06:51, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
              • Thanks Leckie. I myself need to find a "job" for CH soon! :D Some (very minor) things to consider in the meantime:

1. I'm not sure about the ability pages. They seem to have been copied from the Heroes universe pages, then we added our CH info to it. Not a big deal, but the Heroes info isn't really part of the CH universe, and it could get out of sync. If it were up to me, I'd use our ability pages solely for documenting their uses in the CH universe, and making a link, such as:

For notes on flight in the Heroes universe, see Flight.

2. Some of the self-links on the universal navbar don't work. Not a big deal at all, but could be fixed with separate episode pages.

3. Not sure if it was a trend of CH, but technically, the correct form of capitalizations for abilities, places, and the such, is simply capitalizing the first word if the title is not a proper noun. So "Etheric Projection" would, technically, be "Etheric projection". No capitalized P. However, since we're pretty consistent across all the pages, this is a very minor thing and isn't in absolute need of changing. --Radicell 09:32, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
