Favorite comics template
Hello! I think there should be also a template for a user's favorite Simpsons comic. When there is one for the favorite game, why not also for the favorite comic?

I tried to make one. Type:

You can see it in my profile. Please tell me what do you think. -Terry12fins24 15:17, January 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's pretty good. The Userbox template is there so that people can easily make their own custom templates. But I think we can create a dedicated template for favorite comics. I've bought most of them for the past year so we can get some good scans of the covers. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 07:11, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Massive Changes and New Policies Needed!
I just looked at MANY of the articles on this site and........well I'm not going to lie. This site is a mess, a big major mess. And at the risk of sounding cynical, ........ you know what, I can't even follow up on that response. To put it simply, massive changes in both content and organization need to be made. But because it's too big a job for just one person, I come to you for advice. For starters, you seem to know a lot about the mechanics of this site alone. So is their some way to get in contact of every current contributor, like a community article discussion page that everyone must participate (whether it's by policy, or simply redirecting them to the page if they try to edit or upload any content)? Because right now, we're in a state of emergency, and even as we speak, we keep getting new members who keep adding so many random and trivial details that we even know what to do with. But because this sounds like a lot, just point me to the policy page, where I can list the current issues and new editing rules.

Basically, we have a few major missions here for 2013:
 * 1) Clean up every single article that is disorganized or cluttered.
 * 2) Add any missing content that WikiSimpsons already may or may not have (without stealing or copying verbatim directly from their site, or at least not in a way that is obvious enough for them to detect).
 * 3) Organize any unused or randomly placed images, for the sake of being fair to those who uploaded them.
 * 4) Stay up to date with content regarding episodes, comics, games, etc., and continue contributing like we normally would. --Kid Sonic (talk) 22:17, January 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree that there is still a lot of cleanup to do. It's better than it used to be. To give you an idea, there were over 3,000 redirects for the most trivial and useless things, 105 season templates that I was able to reduce down to 1 main template and 1 template for each season, episode pages that were misspelled because it was different in one of the 105 templates than it was in another, and a few policies that were pretty harsh.


 * There is a Community Messages section that can be updated and people will receive a notification that it's been changed, but I don't know if there is a way to redirect everyone there. We can use that to list pages that we need input on. It's on the right side of the Wiki Activity page and I see that the last time I updated it was in December.


 * All of our policies are in the Policies category. Two of those I am going to work on this weekend if nothing comes up. One of the other things we should do first is update the Manual of Style.


 * Regarding the four things you listed, the images all need to have a description, a link to the episode, licensing and categories. I will try to find a file that has that info. And regarding the second item, we should not even try that. At least one person has already suggested that, and after I said it's not a good idea, they did it anyway and Wikisimpsons spotted it.


 * I should have some more info in a little bit. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:31, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

What Animated Women Want/Appearances
Yeah, about this, I accidentally put all the References tags underneath, because I thought it was a Reference page. So, sorry about that. PS. I replaced them with Appearance tags ;) MrBadgerLol 15:43, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Oh yeah, and I just wanna ask you summat, for The Simpsons Movie/Appearances I was thinking, could I delete all the characters, copy them to word, and put pictures in their place (with the names matching of course XD) But I just need your approval first, I don't wanna delete them and you to get the wrong idea with all the characters' names vanishing... MrBadgerLol 15:55, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Standardizing the Appearances pages was something I saw needed to be done a while back. Some are a list, but others have the pictures showing the characters. If you want to simplify things, you can leave the page sit in edit mode while you copy the information to Word and make adjustments from there. Then paste everything back into the web page, check it with Preview, and if it looks good, save it then. Just put something like "adding a picture to each character" in the summary. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:35, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea. Will do that. May take a while, but, it'll be worth it, and fun, I guess. Lol. Erm, so yeah... I'll get to work on it. :) MrBadgerLol 18:03, February 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can't do it all in one go. I'll have to do it in installations. My computer has severe Broadband problems. MrBadgerLol 11:44, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wait, by installations, I mean every 30 or 35 characters then I'll publish, edit and continue, just to be safe. K? MrBadgerLol 11:58, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

P&F Wiki
Sorry to post it here, but I currently can't edit on the P&F Wiki.

1) Have you decided on the Trivia sections for the episodes? I'm ready to start implementing the sections once you give me clearance (and once the blocks on IPs 182.18.208.2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are lifted). I can't add the sections immediately without your permission because I suspect that some users will try to stop me again.

2) You really need to check the "AgentGoldfish" thread.

—— Wi Ki AN 17:37, March 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have been able to remove the blocks. Patrickau tends to be a bit more strict when blocking users than I am, but I also have additional notes that help me figure out if it's a new or returning user causing problems.


 * I have also been somewhat following the messages regarding Agent Goldfish. It's been a long week, and now the wiki has a glitch where I can't respond to anything on my message wall. So, that issue is going to have to wait until I have had a chance to get some rest and Wikia fixes whatever it is. They were probably trying to upgrade the editor and that broke it.


 * Likewise, I am going to wait before I can answer the Trivia sections. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:08, March 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Could you also end the block on 182.18.208.0/24? Whenever I try to edit, it shows my current IP address (usually 182.18.208.4 or 182.18.208.6) and says I can't edit because 182.18.208.0/24 is blocked. Not my IP so I'm guessing it's part of the range block effect. Oh, and just reminding you about KinHikari's admin nomination and SunBeater3k's rollback request. And the current PF background still has the gap. Thanks in advance. —— Wi Ki AN 14:05, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * That range is now unblocked. I missed it before. I will start work on updating the voting and the nominations in about an hour.


 * Regarding the Trivia sections, one thing you could do would be to copy the page you want to work on and create a new sandbox page to test your changes there. That way, we can see what you have in mind before it's put into widespread use. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:49, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

That person came back in the last hour, so I had to set another range block for a day. I will let Patrickau know not to make the blocks permanent. Unfortunately, since you and they are on the same ISP, this is going to keep happening until they get bored of being blocked and go somewhere else. Sorry for the inconvenience it will cause you. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:22, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm still blocked so sorry but I'll have to leave this request here. The Continuity section of "My Sweet Ride" needs to be replaced with None. (this is the fifth time if I remember correctly) Both are trivia. The first sentence is already in Background information while the second needs to be moved into Background information. Thanks. —— Wi Ki AN 01:34, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

Just reminding. Thanks. —— Wi Ki AN 05:14, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to bother. Adding to the above, Could you unblock the IPs for 2 days then block the IPs again for at least 2 weeks? I found a number of stuff that I need to do on the PF wiki and my own wikis need to some of the source codes. But I don't want that person coming back (that person might come again at April 1st) so I'm requesting that the block be only temporarily removed. —— Wi Ki AN 13:46, March 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * I am heading off to work in a few minutes, but I will try to get to all of this tonight. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 13:48, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Good to hear. Have a safe trip. —— Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 13:54, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

PF Wiki Trivia sections
I made the sandbox for the Trivia sections. I used "Road to Danville" and "Happy New Year!" for the examples. Section arrangement and content was according to the guidelines you gave. Sorry for leaving this here. I was able to use one unblocked IP to edit pages but I can't seem to post anything on message walls. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 06:32, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Just reminding. And can the blocks on my IPs be removed now? It's nearing 2 months and the blocks are set to indefinite. I'm able to edit as one of the IPs is unblocked, but I have to refresh a page 4-11 times before I can get to the right IP. Thanks and good luck with the new house. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 10:31, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have unblocked those IP addresses. Hopefully, that person got bored not being able to vandalize and went elsewhere. As for everything else that you've asked me about, I will try to work on those this weekend. I don't think there's anything critical I need to do that would keep me from working on those. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:51, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Much appreciated. Since I can now use Message Walls, I'll await your reply regarding the Trivia sections on the PF Wiki so as to not add anymore non-Simpsons discussions into your talk page here. Thanks again. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 08:31, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

I hope I'm not obthering you, but I have a question regarding PF adminship: Do I meet the requirements and can I nominate myself? I've read the page but I'm not quit certain I do meet the requirements and if anything on the page says I can't nominate myself. I'd like to be admin so if that person ever comes back I'll be able to unblock the IPs when I need to edit and then block the IPs again when I'm done, and I noticed that KinHikari became an admin before I did. I am usually online whenever Patrickau and KinHikari are offline so vandals would have less opportunities to vandalize the wiki if I become an admin. —— <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">Wi <font color="#66FF00" size="2px">Ki <font color="DodgerBlue" size="2px">AN 22:50, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Bart Simpson Comics Question
For the stories in each comic, do we make separate pages for those and work from there? Or do we keep it as is and put a plot for each story listed on the comic page? In my opinion I think we should make separate pages for the stories. Reason being, if we do them on one page it will create a large clumped mess.

Plus each story has their own front covers as well. Also if we were to list the characters in all of the stories in one page, many would not know which ones appeared in which story, causing confusion. I mean in the 53rd issue for example, Francine appeared in only one story not all of them. Just want to hear your input on this. <span style="background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #444 35%, #000 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #444), color-stop(65%, #000)); border:1px solid #006400; "><span style=" ">  IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  |  Talk  <span style="border:1px solid #006400; border-left:0;   background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #006400 35%, #006400 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #006400), color-stop(65%, #000)); color:#006400">  . 23:34, May 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * If we were going to separate them into different pages, then we really should do the same for the Treehouse of Horror episodes because those have several stories in each episode. What we can do is if there would be a section that would take up a large area on the page, like a gallery or the appearances list, we could move those to a separate page. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 15:18, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

I see. Well I would like to see a plan for this before I do anything (like an example for instance). Once I see that, then I'll get to it. As for the Treehouse of Horror episodes, I have also been thinking about the same thing since day one, but I really haven't thought up about it until I started doing the Bart Simpson comics. <span style="background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #444 35%, #000 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #444), color-stop(65%, #000)); border:1px solid #006400; "><span style=" ">  IT'S ME IT'S ME IT'S MC CJ  |  Talk  <span style="border:1px solid #006400; border-left:0;   background-color:#000; background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top, #006400 35%, #006400 65%); background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, color-stop(35%, #006400), color-stop(65%, #000)); color:#006400">  . 16:37, May 4, 2013 (UTC)

Gags Pages
I was wondering, do hidden things such as background posters and the like count as gags? If not, would they go under a subheading of ==Stuff you may have missed==

Yeah. I took that from the episode guide lol ♫ Mr   Badger   Lol  ♫ 18:15, May 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think that would qualify as trivia or the "Stuff you may have missed", rather than a gag. When I added the Gags page to the tabs template, I was thinking of recurring gags that could be moved to a separate page instead of occupying a good chunk of the References page. It was also partly because of wanting to detail the variations on the title sequence after they expanded it, but that may not be a good idea any more since they cut so much out in a lot of episodes. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:27, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think I see. But there aren't that many recurring gags in the series. And since the title gags are in the episode pages anyway, I'm unsure of that. I think that a gag would just be like a little joke, not necessarily a quote, but a visual joke. Do you agree? Or...? Any-who, that's just my opinion. ♫ Mr   Badger   Lol  ♫ 19:18, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Category:Characters clutter
Being that there are 85 subcategories on this, I had a idea for how to begin making it a bit more navigatable that I wanted to run by you. I noticed there are several categories here named after characters, for example Category:Bart Simpson or Category:Lisa Simpson. Probably dozens. What I'd like to know is if I could, rather than grouping them all directly under Characters, if I could make a single sub-category of Characters to contain them all. I'm not sure what to name it, possibly Category:Categories named after characters or Category:Character-named categories or something like that.

Besides this there are some other commonalities (male and female could be "characters by gender", 'blue-haired' and 'green-haired' could be 'characters by hair') which could also help in enhancing the category. Would like to know if it would be okay to do this, and if so, what your preference for the names would be. +Yc 03:16, July 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * That definitely needs to be cleaned up. Let me do some cleanup on some other things that are showing up in that category and then we'll work on a new sub-category to help organize things. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 05:08, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Idea for the Episode Tabs
Hi, I was recently browsing the wiki, using the Random Page thing, and discovered that there were some Transcripts. Eg: Bart the General/Transcript, The Crepes of Wrath/Transcript.

And so I thought "Hmm, why aren't these on the Episode Tab?" Seeing as no page links to them and that they could potentially be interesting for people to read.

So. If that'll be too much work, you don't need to bother, but I, personally, think it could be a good navigator and a good asset to the wiki. I for one, will definitely help in their construction. :)
