Thanks[edit]

I BrokenSegue bestow upon you Lesoria the minor barnstar () for removing the colors from Pokémon types. That must have taken quite a while. This link is Broken 00:56, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I feel almost guilty now -- one regular expression find & replace took care of it in less than a second ^_^;;;; I definitely didn't want someone to spend a lot of time if I could do it so quickly. The Pokemon articles can surely use peoples times more wisely, with as much work as there is to do on them. --Lesoria 06:00, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Re: Avatar Cleanup[edit]

Lesoria, I hate to muck with your mission, but I, (anonymous user 172.1mymileagevaries) have been redirecting certain isolated bios back to their equivalents on the secondary character page in cases where the isolated article contains significantly less info than the secondary characters' capsule bios. Ex: Bumi, Jeong Jeong. It's just less messy for now. May I submit the suggestion of remapping Gyatso's full article to Monk Gyatso, and leaving a redirect at the previous address, similar to my redirecting of Zuko to Prince Zuko one month ago?

I haven't focused much on the secondary/minor characters yet. I personally believe (for any series) that any character who hasn't had a major role (speaking role, at least three scenes per episode) within at least three episodes doesn't warrant their own page, and if even mentioned should be on a page of "minor characters" (not even listed as "secondary"). Pointing Gyatso to Monk Gyatso sounds good to me. Don't let my efforts stop you from simplifying and improving where you see fit =P My hope is to bring the Avatar: The Last Airbender up to a quality that won't leave it with a bunch of stubs which will eventually be voted for deletion.

Some other well-intentioned noodges: If it originated with you, you may want to consider changing the Avatar character infobox template a bit, to allow for picture-captioning and the use of the more grammatically correct term "nationality"--172.173.168.233 07:22, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I can do the nation->nationality when I find the time. Would be a good time to go ahead and add image captions, too. I just need to re-read up on images and wiki-syntax, since they use CSS floating in some way, I think. Lesoria 07:29, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Prompt! Now another noodge. (she says, growing increasingly presumptuous) The Avatar episode infoboxes could use picture-captioning, a "prod. code:" addition, and a "guest star(s):" addition. Ex:A typical Star Trek Episode infobox, for The Man Trap. But remember, this is just a suggestion from an anonymous user who's too lazy to get an account. No pressure. Take your time. Wikibending is hard work. --172.133.205.197 23:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You probably should sign up for an account, if nothing else so you can show off however many edits you do ;) Do you know of any place which lists production codes for Avatar? I'm sure someone out there has access to them and can add them in, but I'd hate to add it to the template and have it sit there blank for all episodes for a long, long time. Also, adding guest stars, do you see any conflict between this and listing voice actors of characters in that episode further on the page? Lesoria 01:29, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I s'pose leaving guest stars out of the infobox is okay, but I can tell you that production codes are readily availible at tv.com's Avatar entries.--172.164.0.76 20:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Adding production codes to the template itself is easy enough -- I'll add it to my TODO list, unless someone beats me to it. Lesoria 00:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
