AT's and Summaries

Hey Ryan, I was wondering if you could maybe see whats going on (with one of your contacts) with Chris Coolidge and Mindy Sprague with their assignment trackers? That is if you have the time? Please? Thanks :D Also the new one? The password was given in the blizzard video any word when that one comes out? (I'm assuming its Maury's)--"The Listener" 09:50, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

• I've asked, and the only response I've gotten is to "wait and see". :( -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:43, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

ALSO! I know this has been brought up but the season summaries...I think characters such as Meredith, Maya heck even Danko. I bring this up because I have noticed that characters such as Bob and Eric have histories? Maya was a MAIN character who continued for two seasons so I believe they do need some...also Adam. :D Let me know --"The Listener" 09:50, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

• Maya was a main character, but she barely appeared. Archiving histories has less to do with their status as a character, and simply more to do with the length of the character's page. I personally don't see any of those pages as being too long, so I don't see why they would need to have their histories archived, especially considering that none of those characters show very much promise of returning. If they do return and make more appearances, then that's a different story...but we wouldn't archive just on the idea that they could come back. Until then, it's nice to have all their latest history in one place. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:43, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

I asked Oliver Grigsby about the ATs, and he's not really sure what's going on and why they're so messed up :\ --Ricard Desi 13:25, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

Chris Coolidge Problems

So a few problems within this site and on the assignment tracker itself.. Most importantly, the AT states that Chris's ability is Empathic manipulation in one place and Electric manipulation in another place. IF his ability truly is Empathic manipulation, I can understand how a mistake was made so that the picture is one of Electric manipulation. But seeing as his ability is NOT Empathic manipulation, something is definitely wrong. Because of these mistakes or non-constancies, there are a few mistakes within Heroeswiki. For example, in the notes section of Empathic manipulation [1], where it states that Chris has this ability. You can see how many problems could arise because of these conflicting details so a solution/answer must be found quickly. I already put this paragraph onto his talk page, but I thought I should put it here as well to make sure you saw it. I thought that you could talk/email writers or Heroes staff in general to find out what went wrong. Thanks --Peter 19:07, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

• Peter, look at the post above this one. Ryan's already asked. And on Chris's talk page I left a message there explaining why we note these things. --mc_hammark 19:33, 1 April 2010 (EDT)
• Peter, I can't help what the actual Assignment Tracker says. All we can do at Heroes Wiki is chronicle what we see, even if it's a mistake. I've emailed several writers and producers. Some have not gotten back to me, some have told me to wait and see, and one producer (my former boss) asked me to only direct questions to them and not to writers. Fair enough. But so long as there is a mistake, we need to chronicle what we see in the notes. So the note on the empathic manipulation page needs to stay...however I can clear it up a bit so that it is clearer... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:25, 1 April 2010 (EDT)

Quote

Hey Ryan, do you remember if there is a Sylar's quote who he tell "I did it"? --TanderixUTCR 14:53, 2 April 2010 (EDT)

• In Truth & Consequences, Maya asks if Sylar killed his mother. Sylar says, "It's true. I did it. I killed her." -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:02, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
  • Ok, thanks! --TanderixUTCR 03:56, 3 April 2010 (EDT)

Redirects

I noticed you deleted those redirects for Mindy's ability. Just wondering, what are the rules for making redirects?--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 22:16, 2 April 2010 (EDT)

• No set rules. If a redirect is needed, we make it. I personally think three abbreviations for an ability name is overkill, especially when none of the three of them is being used. But whatever. However, there is no need to create redirects for the talk pages. Nobody will be typing in "Talk:EATR" to look for the ability's talk page. The only time a talk page needs a redirect is if the main page is moved. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:30, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
  • Ah, ok. The whole Talk:Rene/The Haitian article kinda threw me off.--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 22:36, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
    • That's understandable. The reason Talk:The Haitian redirects to Talk:René is because there was originally a talk page created while the page was called "The Haitian". When the base page was moved, so was the talk page. That's not the case for any of the EATAR redirects--"Talk:EATAR" never existed, and really doesn't need to....Let me know if you have any other questions... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 08:31, 3 April 2010 (EDT)

ID span

• What's an ID span?--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 09:02, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
  • It's code that can be used for a few different things...but we basically use it to allow jumps to spots where the subheading might be different than the jump we're looking for, or for places where there is no subheading. See Season 2 DVD#Alternate Ending and Untold Stories for an example of the first, and List of multilingual characters#note2 for an example of the second. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 09:07, 3 April 2010 (EDT)

Storyboards

• Do you have pictures of any of the storyboards for the "Generations Alternate Ending" or the "Inside The Alternate Ending of Generations" interview?--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 15:29, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
  • I don't have any storyboards for the alternate ending. All the storyboards I have are uploaded to this site. They don't do storyboards for interviews. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:46, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
