:Well I won't dispute that, but the way things currently stand (category-wise) doesn't seem right to me. There's no sensible reason for having a category, such as "Category:Comic Book", if all of the pages are in another category elsewhere. I'd make it a subcategory, except that I think it would make more sense to rename it first, for example to "Category:SLG issues".

−
:As a compromise if it was renamed, we could make a new category, e.g. "Category:Gargoyles episodes" or "Category:TV episodes", solely for the original 65, also a subcat of "Category:Episodes". We could empty out the parent cat entirely, except for the list of canon episodes and the subcats.
 
−
:Or, we could do it by season. "Category:Season 1 episodes", "Category:Season 2 episodes", "Category:The Goliath Chronicles episodes", "Category:SLG episodes", etc. At the moment I'm leaning towards the latter.

:That's not really convincing, considering I've already expressed dissatisfaction with the status quo. If you really believe that the current system is the best of all options, then I'll gladly hear you out, but right now I can't see the merits of it over other possibilities (save that it would be easier to leave things alone, which is no sort of reason).

:Take the by-season idea. This would make the episodes easier to search for using the categories. It would keep the episodic comic issues on equal footing with the older televised episodes. It would also allow paragraphs at the head of each season to sum up the important occurences and themes ("expansion" for season 2 comes immediately to mind), as well as general background information.

:Yes. A new Wikipedia user has taken the opportunity to use Ask Greg as a conduit in an attempt to circumvent the blacklisting. It is making the removal process complicated. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 03:32, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

:I don't really know how to respond to that. I know it ''works'', and has done so just fine since 11th January when the category was created, but I just don't think that it's perfect. I don't think my idea is perfect either, but I hope that it's a bit of an improvement.

:As for the statement that Greg wants it that way, well, I can't say to that. I don't know him, and I have never met him. I respect him for everything he's done on the show and in the fandom, but not even Greg should have the last word on how things are organised on this site <small>(although content is a different matter)</small>. Nobody should. That's the whole point of a Wiki: there is no last word to be had.

:That said, if Mr Weisman, or you, or anybody else believes that the current system is the ''best'' of all possible systems, and that there is nothing I could contribute to improve the situation, then I'll stop now and happily use what we've got. If not, then I'll keep talking.

:The one thing I most want to convey is this: categories are a different breed than lists or articles, and they should be treated differently. Or, at least, that's what I believe. -- [[User:Supermorff|Supermorff]] 11:39, 6 February 2007 (CST)

:Yeah, could work. To be honest I've lost track of what this discussion is about. I'm now supporting a bigger change than the one I initially made that got reverted... In fact, I'm not even supporting that original change any more. I'm now wholly convinced that issues of the comic book do belong in the episodes category (although we've got a category for them already that could serve as a suitable subcategory). Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion. Is there actually any real objection to making a couple of new categories (subcats of "Episodes") to add some structure, or is the point of contention somewhere else?

It doesn't appear that Wikipedia does it automatically - in fact, it seems they do it more or less the same way it's done on the Gargwiki (transclude the text of a special featured article page onto the main page). The only difference is that featured articles are chosen by user consensus, and there's an editor whose sole job is updating the featured article page. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_articles for more details.)
 +
 
 +
They DO have some sort of automated tool for choosing a random featured article linked on that URL above, but it's some private software hosted on a remote site and not part of Mediawiki itself. So, in short, upgrading the wiki wouldn't give you that feature.
 +
 
 +
However, I think have a solution... I found a forum thread (http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?6181-Featured-Article) that discusses this very issue... and they note that Wikipedia's method has the featured article pages set up ahead of time with a month, date, and year in the page name (i.e. "Feature/December 1, 2010"), while the main page is set up to automatically display the featured article with the current date (instead of a single "Feature" page). And I remember that I used something similar for my "Today in Multiversal History" bit on the Multiversal Omnipedia main page (feel free to check that out to see how I did it). So you could give that a shot. (Yes, you'd still have to edit the featured pages manually, but you could do a bunch at once, then sit back and let the software do the rest of the heavy lifting.)

Rotating Featured Article

JEB sent me this is an e-mail:


It doesn't appear that Wikipedia does it automatically - in fact, it seems they do it more or less the same way it's done on the Gargwiki (transclude the text of a special featured article page onto the main page). The only difference is that featured articles are chosen by user consensus, and there's an editor whose sole job is updating the featured article page.
