• Good idea for a cap. Thinking about doing a gallery for Sylar's victims by any chance?--Hardvice (talk) 23:47, 8 November 2006 (EST)
  • Come to think of it, Sylar's victims would make a nice plot point article. We could list some of the speculation re: eating brains and all, and the theory that Sylar killed Chandra.--Hardvice (talk) 23:48, 8 November 2006 (EST)
    • Well, I just wanted to fill in an image of Molly's father, but that's not a bad idea. We've been deleting the shows off our DVR after we watch them, so I've been clipping the trailers and such for images. --Orne 23:51, 8 November 2006 (EST)
      • I've got 'em in iTunes. I can see if I can get some more caps. So far we have Mr. and Mrs. Walker, Future!Isaac, the FBI agent who was guarding Molly, and Fresco the not-a-real-victim-of-Sylar-victim, correct? PS: thanks again for all your hard work (and for filling in the edit summaries--nobody remembers to do that!)--Hardvice (talk) 23:56, 8 November 2006 (EST)
        • I try to remember, Hardvice... I'm getting better! :) (Admin 00:01, 9 November 2006 (EST))
          • I have no room to talk. I had to turn on the reminder in my preferences.--Hardvice (talk) 00:10, 9 November 2006 (EST)
        • Thanks folks, I do what I can.. having a blast filling in the gaps in the story. But for now, I need to get some sleep, work comes early... how else will I edit Heroeswiki during the day?  ;) --Orne 00:14, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Timelines

• If it would be helpful, I could make this timeline extension available here. (Admin 09:49, 9 November 2006 (EST))
  • Looks interesting, but I was thinking more of a list of dates for now. I'd try to find a screen cap of Hiro concentrating really hard for the image, and a memorable quote of Hiro saying how time travel acts in a circle. For external links, I'd put in a link to Brief History of Time or maybe The Fabric of the Cosmos --Orne 09:58, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Disambiguation Pages

Hardvice, I've noticed that Episode:Genesis and Hiro Nakamura have big ol' disambiguation logos at the top. I'm not too familiar with Wiki ettiquite, but shouldn't Hiro and Genesis point to the disambiguation pages... or is there some way we can make the big banner more subtle? I kind of liked it clean how it was before... or better yet, if the page was referenced using Hiro then it gets the disambiguation warning, but if it wasn't because you went directly to Hiro Nakamura , then it doesn't? I don't know if Wiki can do that --Orne 10:02, 9 November 2006 (EST)

• Actually, we can do the latter (and pretty easily), if we change Hiro so that it's not a redirect, but is instead the disambig banner and then includes the Hiro Nakamura article by typing {{:Hiro Nakamura}}. Changes made at Hiro Nakamura would automatically be reflected at Hiro. Pointing Hiro and Genesis to the disambig pages is probably not desirable because so many links point there ... it would mean an extra click whenever people follow the links, or else we'd have to go back and change about a million links (and keep doing it, because folks will keep linking that way). The oddsa are that most people who search for "Hiro" don't want "Future Hiro" and people who search for "Genesis" don't want "Genesis files". We can also definitely make the dismbig banner less obtrusive ... starting by making it text-only. The consistent formatting is nice, but you're right: in this context it's just distracting.
  
  My suggestion would be 1) Change Hiro and Genesis from redirects to {{disambiglead}} plus {{:Hiro Nakamura}} and {{:Episode:Genesis}} respectively, and 2) make the banner less obtrusive. The only issue with 1) is that the two pages will then have separate talk pages, and I'm not sure if you can redirect a talk page (I think you can, but I don't recall for sure). I'd like to let Admin weigh in on this first, if that's ok.--Hardvice (talk) 12:18, 9 November 2006 (EST)
