Couch Gag Template
Hi. Now you're back, do you now how to fix Template:Season 1 couch gags? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 17:15, December 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Got it taken care of. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:37, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Collapsed Couch couch gag
Hi. TheShadowCrow moved Collapsed Couch couch gag to Collapsed Couch Gag. This doesn't fit the "theme" of the other couch gag pages. Also it doesn't make complete sense. Can you re-move it please (I can't because you need to delete Collapsed Couch couch gag first). Also, while I'm here, can you read this, please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno (talk) 18:47, December 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Done. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:37, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Organization
I've noticed there is a big template missing. For now I will be just making them locations, do you think I should just put organizations as locations? For example a company advertising on television.

Missing Pages
Whenever I add quote or credit pages (tabs for the episodes) it doesn't show as a new article. I think these pages would merit an article count wouldn't they? Jhonevans 15:03, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how the edit count is calculated. The All Pages report shows about 9400 pages, but it includes redirects. There's more than 1000 redirects because that's all it will show until Wikia updates the software. I have seen other wikis be a little slow to update the count when a new page is added or one is deleted. I guess after a page is added, keep checking it to see when the count is updated. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 03:56, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Chat
Talk now? I deleted the older post so the whole world doesn't read it. Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 05:08, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Edit
The default is the same so you may just delete it. Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day 03:09, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Mii
Firemime has made a new page called "Mii". I am not sure whether to delete it or not, you give the final word. I am Jack&#39;s Jhonevans 05:17, December 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * after discussing it with Jhonevans, the page was deleted since it's a general feature of the Wii, rather than being specifically designed to be about The Simpsons

Promotion
Are you interested in becoming a bureaucrat? TheShadowCrow 02:31, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Is that a yes? Jhonevans recommended I ask you if you wanted the upgrade and I was already thinking about asking you if you wanted to be a bureaucrat. If you're interested, let me know.

Best regards,

Feature
I realise they are separate. Yet editor of the month contains everything the feature article page has, also we are ridding ourselves of the past admin's competition. Just think the page itself is quite useless, the editor of the month provides everything it has. Perhaps I should change the name of editor of the month too: "Editor/Article of the Month"?

 * I have a different idea in mind for voting on things like the Featured article, pictures, songs, etc. I was just putting it back to how it was until we can get those set up. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 06:42, December 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool, keep me posted. I am Jack&#39;s Jhonevans 06:45, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Cheaters
I've noticed our competitors have stolen an article and added photos to it, it is now their 'feature article'. How about we have at them and have our own 'feature article' on the same subject! I am Jack&#39;s Jhonevans 09:54, December 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you mean that they have decided to have a featured article, or do you mean that the one they have is an exact copy of ours that they added pictures to? The first is okay, but if it's the second, then we can do better than just mimicking what they do.


 * Since they have complained twice about us making copies of info from their wiki without saying so, then I would do a revision by revision comparison to see exactly how much is the same and at what date it started changing. Depending on the date at which the two pages stop being the same, I may be able to register a complaint with them to have them remove the info they copied from us.


 * So, which is the situation and what is the featured article so I can check it. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:54, December 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * They didn't copy one of our pages. A less popular Simpsons wite was copied directly. What I am saying is we should take teh same information they did, but acknowledge the site it is from. So not only are we leveling their 'featured artcile', but we're also doing it fairly. Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 12:36, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think that's a good idea. for the following reasons:


 * It would send the message that we aren't able to come up with our own featured articles and would reinforce the other wiki's view that we're just a copy.
 * It would show that we think their wiki is worth paying attention to.

We should come up with our own featured article instead. Since we don't have voting set up yet, why don't we pick one of the recent episodes and just work on that until it can be used as the featured article? That would give us something to use until the voting is restarted. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 16:47, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I will try to finish off teh Holidays of Future Passed episode later. Anyway, can we talk on chat? Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 16:49, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Edwina Simpson & "Happy" Dinsdale
There are currently two pages for "Happy" Dinsdale on this wiki, one called Edwina Simpson & one called "Happy" Dinsdale, one should probably be deleted.Matt Phillips 21:45, December 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fixed. "Edwina Simpson" has been deleted because the name Edwina was fan fiction. All of the fan fiction in the "Happy" Dinsdale page has been removed. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 04:09, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

re: moving pages
The reason I renamed a couple of The Tracey Ullman Show Shorts is because I have a few episodes of The Tracey Ullman Show on DVD and the names they had on the page before were not the name's they were credited as on the show. Ex: One page was named Bart and Homer's Dinner, although it was credited as Bart and Dad Eat Dinner on The Tracey Ullman Show. I was just making the episode title the correct name.
