*[[Gargoyle Way]] -- We hear this phrase a lot to mean a lot of different things. Maybe someday we can cook up a page talking about the gargoyle code (parenting, banishing, leader/second, all that) Mabe it could help split up the [[gargoyles]] page more, as I did when I made [[clan]]. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 16:44, 1 January 2008 (CST)
+
*[[Human]]s -- Talent for invention and technology. Make too much noise (and constantly modify their environment) to sense the biorhythms. Probably invented naming. History with a focus on their relations with other races. -- [[User:Vaevictis Asmadi|Vaevictis Asmadi]] 10:07, 24 December 2007 (CST)
:I would rather have a series of interconnected pages, like [[Gargoyle]], [[Gargoyle culture]] (which would link out to, e.g. [[Clan]] and [[Wind Ceremony]]), [[Gargoyle biology]] (which would link out to, e.g. [[Egg]]), and maybe even [[Gargoyle history]] or similar. We can keep some information (mostly canon) in the main article and then direct people wherever they want to go. Gargoyle Way can redirect to Gargoyle culture. We might even be able to merge some info ''back'' into more general articles from [[clan]] and [[egg]] and whatever else. To keep in line with the archives at [[Ask Greg]], gargoyle culture could also be called [[gargoyle customs]]. ... Huh. That seems kinda complicated when I write it all out. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 17:21, 14 January 2008 (CST)
+
*[[Kenner Action Figures]]
  
*The Hunters' [[airship]] and the [[sky sleds]]
+
:'''Post-''Quest'' update list:'''
:I wonder how much we should break this down. Perhaps we can have a page for [[Aircraft]] or something and include all the airships, skysleds, helicopters (including Lex's rebuild) and all that. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 12:23, 12 October 2008 (CDT)
+
*[[Lexington]]
 +
*[[Elisa Maza]] (timeline section)

*[[Alexander Fox Xanatos]]

[[Special:Wantedpages]] contains an automatically-generated list of non-existent pages with the most incoming links, but users can also request pages to be created by listing them here.
 
 
*[[Fairlane]] -- How about a page for Elisa's car?  We see it so much in the the show. It could go in the Vehicles Category [[User:PGFish|PGFish]] 20:25, 9 April 2008 (CDT)
 
:Since it wasn't identified as a Fairlane, I'd suggest just calling it [[Elisa's Car]] or something and mentioning that someone based it off the Fairlane in the Production Background or whatever. Just my two cents. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 21:22, 7 May 2008 (CDT)
 
:I'd be happy to construct this page, but I need a good pic of Elisa's Car first. I'll mention it in Requested Pages below. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 13:52, 12 October 2008 (CDT)
 
  
 
* [[Executive Assistant]] -- [[Owen Burnett]], [[Preston Vogel]], [[Glasses]], [[Shari]], [[Robyn Correy]]... Not sure if this is a dumb idea or not, but I thought I'd put it out there for discussion. Feel free to totally reject this one. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]]

* ''[[Freakazoid!]]'' - In the style of other non-''Gargoyles'' TV series, such as ''[[W.I.T.C.H.]]'', with focus on the ''Gargoyles'' references. In particular, mention the Lawn Gnomes segment ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSQWx8X8WHk video]) and the gargoyle at the opening of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5G6pSA-yEk this video]. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 15:33, 28 May 2008 (CDT)
+
*Since we now have articles for two unmade stories ("[[The Weird Macbeth]]" and "[[Hobgoblin of Little Minds]]"), how about a page for the [[multi-trickster story]] (about which we know quite a bit, but not the title). -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 04:40, 5 December 2010 (CST)
 +
::For future reference, Scarecrows! (I don't know where else to put it, since it is only a premise and not a full episode like the three above.) [https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=483] --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 22:18, 12 November 2023 (PST)
  
*[[Leica Reel]] - as in the ''Bad Guys'' leica reel. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 13:22, 26 May 2008 (CDT)
+
* I was just thinking. We have aircraft and exo-frame pagesShouldn't we have one for weapons?  [[User:Dtaina|DTaina]] 21:46, 18 January 2009 (CST)
:I think this should specifically be [[Bad Guys Leica Reel]] with [[Leica Reel]] redirecting to it-- [[User:Demonskrye|Demonskrye]] 06:15, 10 July 2008 (CDT)
 
  
*[[Redemption (story-arc)]] and [[Clan-Building]]. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 12:23, 6 July 2008 (CDT)
+
*[[Tiers and tentpoles]] - Just a thought. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 15:28, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:With the cancellation of the comic, I'm not sure these pages are necessary any more. [[Gargoyles (SLG)]] is now more-or-less synonymous with [[Clan-Building]], and [[Gargoyles: Bad Guys]] is pretty much synonymous with [[Redemption (story-arc)]]. That said, we probably ''should'' put some information specific to the story-arcs into these articles. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 12:46, 9 September 2008 (CDT)
 
  
*[[Xanatos Tag]]
+
*It's hard to believe there's now so much merchandise that we are falling behind! So for those interested in making pages for the following:
:You mean the bit at the end of an episode where Xanatos reveals that he was behind everything that happened (assuming that wasn't already obvious) and points out how even though the gargoyles foiled his plan or apparent plan, it's all good because he learned something that will make him more awesome?  Does that really need its own entry or can we just cover it in the [[David Xanatos]] article? -- [[User:Demonskrye|Demonskrye]] 06:15, 10 July 2008 (CDT)
+
:the Goliath Vinyl Soda Cans
::Yeah, one of them things. The problem with putting it in the Xanatos article itself is that Xanatos is an in-universe canon character, whereas the Xanatos tag is an out-of-universe production... thing. Besides, Thailog sometimes has his own "Xanatos tags" as well. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 06:45, 10 July 2008 (CDT)
+
:Mondo 1/6 scale figures
::I think a "Behind the Scenes" section would cover it. And we could put an additional link to Xanatos in Thailog's Behind the Scenes section when talking about his penchant for similar speeches. -- [[User:Demonskrye|Demonskrye]] 07:28, 10 July 2008 (CDT)
+
:Premium Collectible Studios 1/4 scale diorama
:::I don't doubt that a Behind the Scenes section ''could'' cover it, but why should it have to? By the way, has everyone seen [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit this]? -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 12:02, 10 July 2008 (CDT)
+
::--[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 18:31, 3 September 2025 (PDT)
  
*[[Gargoyles (trading cards)]] - So according to an advertisement in one of my old comics I just recently happened across, there was a line of ''Gargoyles'' trading cards produced by a company called [[SkyBox]]. The ad predates the series' premiere, and indeed informs potential viewers that the series will premiere in syndication that coming fall, the card series was set to debut April 1995, the whole page is really quite nostalgic in a way (especially given that I wasn't really aware of the show at the time), and all in all, something tells me we really ought to have a page about this. - [[User:Caswin|Caswin]] 21:34, 18 July 2008 (CDT)
+
*No real place for these CIT tidbits until pages are built for the Arthurian characters of Guinevere and Lancelot (not to be confused with the future Manhattan Clan gargoyles). I don't see any urgency for those pages until ''Pendragon'' gets greenlit one day. So for ease of reference: [https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=1237][https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=1243] --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 19:35, 25 November 2023 (PST)
:Oh, yeah, that would be cool. There were two sets of trading cards-I have both. It might be interesting to have a page on the cards-maybe what is written on the cards themselves. Also, what about some of the books? Maybe we could list some stories from old Gargoyles books in the apocrypha section--[[User:PGFish|PGFish]] 01:59, 19 July 2008 (CDT)
 
::''(Three and a half months later...)'' Wait, there are ''books?'' - [[User:Caswin|Caswin]] 13:11, 2 November 2008 (CST)
 
  
* [[Ellis Island]] needs a page--[[User:PGFish|PGFish]] 12:56, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
+
*Morgause is apparently a separate character from any of the survivors, but there's no indication if she will have a role in any series, so the need for her own page is unurgent, but the reference can live here. [https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=1226] --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 22:10, 15 March 2024 (PDT)
:It appeared in "Legion". Anywhere else? -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 15:37, 8 September 2008 (CDT)
 
  
*The [[thief]] from "Reawakening". I'm not sure he appeared in any other episode... but who cares? -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]]
+
===Requested images===
 +
Here, users can list articles that they believe could be improved by the inclusion of appropriate images.
  
*[[Space-Spawn War]] or [[Galactic War]]... something to describe the conflict between the Space-Spawn, the N'Kai and the unknown third race.
+
*[[Applause Figures]] -- vintage, but visuals would certainly help the page. --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 17:49, 3 June 2023 (PDT)
:I think we should consult Greg to find out if he has a name for this war or at least a placeholder name. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 12:23, 12 October 2008 (CDT)
 
::Good plan. I wonder if the involved races have different names for it? -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]]
 
  
*[[Gargate]] - The term has now been used in the series, so I believe it has earned its own page. Probably something I'll tackle soon. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 08:26, 14 October 2008 (CDT)
+
*[[Ishimura Clan]] -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] has requested a collage of higher quality pics of all members seen in canon.
  
*[[Mutagenic Formula]] - I'll probably whip up this page when I revamp the [[Mutate]] page, but I thought I'd put it out there. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 08:26, 14 October 2008 (CDT)
+
*[[London Street Thugs]] -- [[User:Griffinwyrm7|Griffinwyrm7]] has requested a picture of the London Street Thugs on their page.
  
*[[Hakon's axe]] and/or [[Hakon's mace]] -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 11:07, 23 November 2008 (CST)
+
*[[Hunters]] - Headshots of all known Hunters, per [[Talk:Hunters]].
  
*[[Gargoyles Universe]] - This should be a priority, I think. This page should define what exists inside the canon universe. I've noticed that most mentions of the Gargoyles Universe on the site direct to [[Gargoyles (TV series)]]. Now that the Gargiyles Universe isn't confined to the TV series, I think we need to make a seperate page. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 11:37, 20 December 2008 (CST)
+
*[[Demona's Clan]] needs an updated picture (collage?) with new clan members shown in the TimeDancer comic arc. -- [[User:Litwolf|Litwolf]] 25 August 2009
  
*[[Kenner Toys]] - A page about all the Gargoyles action figures and their impact on the series including the motorcycle, etc. Or perhaps a broader page called [[Gargoyles Merchandise]]? I dunno. -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] 11:46, 20 December 2008 (CST)
+
*[[Old Pog]] could use another pic of him not in his stone form, although this may require someone to donate a model sheet or a drawing not used in the comic. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 10:22, 12 December 2010 (CST)
  
===Pages in need of expansion===
+
*This is an unusual one, does anybody have any better pics of "Gargoyle" from [[W.I.T.C.H.]]? The one I have isn't that great. Ideally I'd like one from season 2 where he got that new lava hand from Nerissa. --[[User:Algernon|Algernon]] 16:55, 13 August 2010 (CDT)
[[Special:Shortpages]] contains an automatically-generated list of pages with the least information, but users can also list pages to be expanded here.
 
 
 
*[[Gargoyles (video game)]] - per the talk page
 
*[[Gargoyles (TV series)]] - addition of a History section, per [[Talk:Gargoyles (TV series)]]
 
*[[Gargoyles (SLG comics)]]
 
*[[Human]]s -- Talent for invention and technology. Make too much noise (and constantly modify their environment) to sense the biorhythms. Probably invented naming. History with a focus on their relations with other races. -- [[User:Vaevictis Asmadi|Vaevictis Asmadi]] 10:07, 24 December 2007 (CST)

*[[Avalon Clan]] -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] has requested a collage of higher quality pics of all members seen in canon.
+
*A general thought, but it'd be awesome if we eventually found images for a lot of the old various merchandise, like the VHS's, books, and posters (even the ALA READ poster).  No doubt, there's probably a few dedicated editors taking on this endeavor, but I thought it couldn't hurt to add the post . . . for officialness-sake :) --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] 21:30, 26 March 2011 (CDT)
  
*[[Ishimura Clan]] -- [[User:Matt|Matt]] has requested a collage of higher quality pics of all members seen in canon.
+
*Not sure if its something you might already have/in-the-works, DTaina, but I was thinking that a pan of the logo on [[Fortress-1]] (from "Awakening, Part Five" I think) would be nice for the [[Cyberbiotics]] page.  It might not be the official company logo for Cyberbiotics, but I think the page could use a cool pan :) --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] 10:09, 31 October 2011 (PDT)
  
*[[Tom]] - [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] would like a better picture of old/Guardian armor Tom, with his helmet completely off if possible.
+
*I wouldn't mind providing images for the occasional appearances made the several ''Gargoyles'' characters in music videos or ''Chibiverse''.  Only problem is that the best I can do is screenshots of material from the videos with my cellphone.  Could I send a pic to determine the quality? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 07:28, 21 October 2025 (PDT)

::I think it'll work, until we can come across a higher resolution. Now we just need a page for it. I left red links on the [[Timeline_(Real_World)]] page. :--) Always more to do around here. --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 18:29, 21 October 2025 (PDT)

:::I figure it might be suitable for the Lexington article.  Incidentally also the ''[[Amphibia]]'', ''[[DuckTales]]'' and [[Donald Duck]] articles. [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 18:43, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
 +
::::While I personally want to have all the latest cameos and easter egg references documented to show just how newer generations are coming across ''Gargoyles'', ''[[Broken Karaoke]]'' and ''[[Chibiverse]]'' are not the primary focus of this wiki. It wouldn't make sense to have that kind of image repetition across multiple pages (much like how the ''Amphibia'' easter egg is only on that page, but not Goliath's). --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 19:47, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
 +
:::::So then, just say the Lexington article in the apocrypha section? [[User:Antiyonder|Antiyonder]] ([[User talk:Antiyonder|talk]]) 10:17, 22 October 2025 (PDT)
  
* I just noticed that there are no pictures of the [[New Olympians]] on that page.  I thought this might be an excuse to show pics of [[Taurus]], [[Boreas]], [[Proteus]], [[Talos]], [[Sphinx]] etc...not all of these naturally, but enough to give people an idea of the diversity of the speices. [[User:Griffinwyrm7|Griffinwyrm7]] 03:26, 16 August 2008 (CDT)

::::::Uploading Bronx's appearances.  Titling them as a number just in case since for one, he appears in two episodes.  Second, for detail sake.  Namely that the episode has some characters spraying others with a potion that makes them opposite in behaviorBronx is sprayed too and I'm including 3 images to show how he is one of the few to not changeOnly displaying minor annoyance. ----

:::::::And done for right now. Obviously I'm not looking to capture every moment of a cameo.  Just did more for Bronx since the pics are more noticeably different and you can make the final call before they are used.  Goliath's pic I label as Goliath Chibiverse 1, as they ''Gargoyles'' was referenced more than one so I'm just factoring in further cameos/appearances.  Brooklyn getting more screentime than everyone else thus far evenGood job on the Broken Karaoke article, BTW. ----

===Wanted Pages Cleanup===
 +
I've tamed the list to under 150. With new canon constantly being added on a (wonderfully!) monthly basis, I wanted to clean up the [[Special:Wantedpages|special page]] so that the majority of the dead links would either be pages the folks on this wiki would like to actually create and build one day, or continue to serve as placeholders for pages needing proper names (this second example mostly applies to future issues of the current comic). The remaining dead links are largely cluttering old talk discussions or were outright typos, and so eliminating them throughout the wiki will make it easier to determine what still needs making. In the case of the old talk pages, I hope those edits properly preserve those discussions without being obtrusive. --[[User:Phoenician|Pheon]] ([[User talk:Phoenician|talk]]) 22:52, 1 June 2023 (PDT)

Editors are also encouraged to give a brief explanation as to why they have listed the page, and ideas for improvement.

Pages in need of expansion

Special:Shortpages contains an automatically-generated list of pages with the least information, but users can also list pages to be expanded here.

  • Humans -- Talent for invention and technology. Make too much noise (and constantly modify their environment) to sense the biorhythms. Probably invented naming. History with a focus on their relations with other races. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 10:07, 24 December 2007 (CST)
  • Kenner Action Figures
Post-Quest update list:

Requested pages

Special:Wantedpages contains an automatically-generated list of non-existent pages with the most incoming links, but users can also request pages to be created by listing them here.

For future reference, Scarecrows! (I don't know where else to put it, since it is only a premise and not a full episode like the three above.) [1] --Pheon (talk) 22:18, 12 November 2023 (PST)
  • I was just thinking. We have aircraft and exo-frame pages. Shouldn't we have one for weapons? DTaina 21:46, 18 January 2009 (CST)
  • It's hard to believe there's now so much merchandise that we are falling behind! So for those interested in making pages for the following:
the Goliath Vinyl Soda Cans
Mondo 1/6 scale figures
Premium Collectible Studios 1/4 scale diorama
--Pheon (talk) 18:31, 3 September 2025 (PDT)
  • No real place for these CIT tidbits until pages are built for the Arthurian characters of Guinevere and Lancelot (not to be confused with the future Manhattan Clan gargoyles). I don't see any urgency for those pages until Pendragon gets greenlit one day. So for ease of reference: [2][3] --Pheon (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2023 (PST)
  • Morgause is apparently a separate character from any of the survivors, but there's no indication if she will have a role in any series, so the need for her own page is unurgent, but the reference can live here. [4] --Pheon (talk) 22:10, 15 March 2024 (PDT)

Requested images

Here, users can list articles that they believe could be improved by the inclusion of appropriate images.

  • Ishimura Clan -- Matt has requested a collage of higher quality pics of all members seen in canon.
  • Demona's Clan needs an updated picture (collage?) with new clan members shown in the TimeDancer comic arc. -- Litwolf 25 August 2009
  • Old Pog could use another pic of him not in his stone form, although this may require someone to donate a model sheet or a drawing not used in the comic. -- Supermorff 10:22, 12 December 2010 (CST)
  • This is an unusual one, does anybody have any better pics of "Gargoyle" from W.I.T.C.H.? The one I have isn't that great. Ideally I'd like one from season 2 where he got that new lava hand from Nerissa. --Algernon 16:55, 13 August 2010 (CDT)
  • A general thought, but it'd be awesome if we eventually found images for a lot of the old various merchandise, like the VHS's, books, and posters (even the ALA READ poster). No doubt, there's probably a few dedicated editors taking on this endeavor, but I thought it couldn't hurt to add the post . . . for officialness-sake :) --Pheon 21:30, 26 March 2011 (CDT)
  • Not sure if its something you might already have/in-the-works, DTaina, but I was thinking that a pan of the logo on Fortress-1 (from "Awakening, Part Five" I think) would be nice for the Cyberbiotics page. It might not be the official company logo for Cyberbiotics, but I think the page could use a cool pan :) --Pheon 10:09, 31 October 2011 (PDT)
  • I wouldn't mind providing images for the occasional appearances made the several Gargoyles characters in music videos or Chibiverse. Only problem is that the best I can do is screenshots of material from the videos with my cellphone. Could I send a pic to determine the quality? Antiyonder (talk) 07:28, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
Actually I'll just upload it and only that image and see what anyone's assessment is. Antiyonder (talk) 15:38, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
I think it'll work, until we can come across a higher resolution. Now we just need a page for it. I left red links on the Timeline_(Real_World) page. :--) Always more to do around here. --Pheon (talk) 18:29, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
I figure it might be suitable for the Lexington article. Incidentally also the Amphibia, DuckTales and Donald Duck articles. Antiyonder (talk) 18:43, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
While I personally want to have all the latest cameos and easter egg references documented to show just how newer generations are coming across Gargoyles, Broken Karaoke and Chibiverse are not the primary focus of this wiki. It wouldn't make sense to have that kind of image repetition across multiple pages (much like how the Amphibia easter egg is only on that page, but not Goliath's). --Pheon (talk) 19:47, 21 October 2025 (PDT)
So then, just say the Lexington article in the apocrypha section? Antiyonder (talk) 10:17, 22 October 2025 (PDT)
Uploading Bronx's appearances. Titling them as a number just in case since for one, he appears in two episodes. Second, for detail sake. Namely that the episode has some characters spraying others with a potion that makes them opposite in behavior. Bronx is sprayed too and I'm including 3 images to show how he is one of the few to not change. Only displaying minor annoyance. ----
And done for right now. Obviously I'm not looking to capture every moment of a cameo. Just did more for Bronx since the pics are more noticeably different and you can make the final call before they are used. Goliath's pic I label as Goliath Chibiverse 1, as they Gargoyles was referenced more than one so I'm just factoring in further cameos/appearances. Brooklyn getting more screentime than everyone else thus far even. Good job on the Broken Karaoke article, BTW. ----

Wanted Pages Cleanup

I've tamed the list to under 150. With new canon constantly being added on a (wonderfully!) monthly basis, I wanted to clean up the special page so that the majority of the dead links would either be pages the folks on this wiki would like to actually create and build one day, or continue to serve as placeholders for pages needing proper names (this second example mostly applies to future issues of the current comic). The remaining dead links are largely cluttering old talk discussions or were outright typos, and so eliminating them throughout the wiki will make it easier to determine what still needs making. In the case of the old talk pages, I hope those edits properly preserve those discussions without being obtrusive. --Pheon (talk) 22:52, 1 June 2023 (PDT)
