  • I'm not sure about adding the powers and the graphic novels, since the series is about the organization. Maybe we need to rename the series bar to be something less specific?--Hardvice (talk) 14:29, 12 December 2006 (EST)
  • Yeah, they definitely don't seem to belong. (Admin 14:42, 12 December 2006 (EST))
    • Also, anything that lets us avoid more than one series bar per article is a good move in my book. It always looks kind of sloppy.--Hardvice (talk) 14:45, 12 December 2006 (EST)
      • Good point. Would you like me to remove the added links, or should we brainstorm a new name? (I say removing the links is the easiest option.) I do believe, however, that those 3 articles should somehow be pointed out as being used by HRG's group. We don't have an article (nor should we, necessarily). Any suggestions? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:23, 12 December 2006 (EST)

Name of Organization

We are bound to have to call this organization something. HRG is not really relevant anymore, and we now know it's not "Mr. Bennet's Organization". I would nominate it to be renamed "Mr. Bennet's Boss's Organization", but I think some people would actually take me seriously. I say "Agency Without Initials" is the best name for it, since that's actually how it was referenced in the show. Thoughts? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:58, 18 December 2006 (EST)

I'm ok with naming it the "Agency Without Initials", as long as we can call it the AWI... [1] --Orne 16:11, 18 December 2006 (EST)

Text for Category Page

Help! I embedded List of articles related to the Agency Without Initials on the Category:AWI page, but I think it looks really silly to have the series bar say "AWI is part of a series of articles related to the Agency Without Initals:" (especially since the category page is not an article). What I would like is for it to say "The following articles are related to the Agency Without Initals:", but I can't figure out the #ifeq parser function. As you can tell from the history, I goofed. I tried to add a whole other line, but that didn't work either. (A few smart people are snickering at me right now, I just know it!) Could somebody please help? Thanks! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:39, 12 January 2007 (EST)

I took care of the problem by <noinclude>ing the series bar. Come to think of it, it doesn't belong on the category page. But I'd still like to know (if somebody's willing to teach) how to do a parser function for more than one variable (ie, ifeq List of... and ifeq Category...) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:00, 12 January 2007 (EST)
  • Don't worry about it, it's actually already fixed. What I did was add another #ifeq: that checks if the pagename equals AWI. The correct syntax (for non-programmers) is:
{{#ifeq: Text | CompareAgainstText | ResultIfMatches | ResultIfDifferent }}
What you want to do is comapre the {{PAGENAME}} Wiki special variable against a known piece of text (in this case "AWI"). If they match, then the function outputs the text that is in "ResultIfMatches" field, which you wanted to be the text "The following articles are". But if it's not, then it should return "XXXX is part of a series of articles". The text that follows in both instances are the same: "related to the ..." Where it gets cool is you can put #ifeq statements inside of one another (because remember, it's still checking if the article is named "List of articles..." too) and it can return many different results. Check my user page on how to find the documentation on using the ParserFunctions and the complete list of Wiki built-in Variables (aka Magic Words). --Orne 20:03, 12 January 2007 (EST)
    • Okay, great, thank you! Yes, I've been using the links on your user page to figure some stuff out. It's all still a bit hazy in my mind (I need practice). I was getting tripped up with putting the #ifeq statements inside each other. Trippy.

      I just went back and included the series bar on the category page. It's a bit superfluous, but there's no harm. S&G, S&G. (Thanks for your help!)- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:39, 12 January 2007 (EST)

Agent Isaac

I'm not sure we should jump to the conclusion that Isaac is working for the AWI quite yet. He is definitely working with Mr. Bennet to find Peter, but I'm not sure that he's really an agent...yet. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:51, 8 February 2007 (EST)

  • Well, through Mr. Bennet, he clearly has a strong connection to the AWI. I used "agent" in a rather generic sense to denote that connection, and I think that his current association qualifies him for inclusion in the template. --Ted C 15:54, 8 February 2007 (EST)

The new look

... is different. I think I like the old series bar better. Something about the picture was really nice. If we want to separate the bar into people, places, and items, we could probably follow suit and format it similar to Template:Linderman. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:21, 10 March 2007 (EST)

  • It's also missing rounded edges on the bottom.--Hardvice (talk) 01:32, 10 March 2007 (EST)
    • Hmm, it looks like it's being changed as I'm commenting, so I'll wait a little while until I note the odd pipes and bold marks. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:37, 10 March 2007 (EST)
      • I wanted the best of both worlds, but I ended up just making it more like template:jessica's victims. ---- 01:45, 10 March 2007 (EST)
