User talk:Hardvice/IMDb links
Hardvice, great job on all those co-appearances. I'm especially enjoying the challenge it looks like you've set for yourself to word each connection section in a different way. Plus, this page is a great resource. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:28, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- Especially if you have an extension that lets you lasso multiple links and open them in tabs. :) It's cut the time it takes to find co-appearances in half, since you can just scan for visited links. As for the wording, it started off as a matter of necessity (some people appeared with more than one person in one work and some people appeared with the same person in more than one work) and has turned into a matter of fighting the monotony. Ideally, if we can get everybody done (probably over the summer break), then we'll just have to check new characters as they appear.--Hardvice (talk) 13:36, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- Incidentally, I just found a better Firefox extension for this: Web Developer. In addition to a bunch of other fairly useful tools, it lets you mark all of the links on a page either visited or unvisited--without actually having to visit them. If you do that on this page, then look somebody up on IMDb, all of the links for actors with whom they've appeared will be marked in a different color, so you can just scan through the cast list on each project looking for purple links.--Hardvice (talk) 16:49, 29 April 2007 (EDT)
- Looks awesome, Hardvice, thanks! I'll have to install it when I get back home. The only thing to be careful of is television shows--we don't want to say that somebody appeared in CSI (for example) with somebody else if they were different episodes. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:56, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Directions
Thanks for the directions. I was struggling with how to mark some links visited without marking every link I've ever visited. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:26, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
Adds
I labeled and alphabetized all the links to make this page more of a useful resource and to make adding new folks easier (since you can now tell if they've already been added or not). Please feel free to add links to new actors as they appear. The more complete we can keep this page, the more useful it becomes.--Hardvice (talk) 03:41, 12 October 2007 (EDT)
