== Message ==

Earlier this year, it was [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 37|suggested]] that there be a site notice that asks people to give their opinion on deletion discussions. Should we put up such a message? Not only will this help clean out the Articles for Discussion category, which some pages have been in for over a year, but it may also boost the wiki's edit count, which is quite low these days (that was also pointed out in that discussion). And on a partially related note, is the fundraising drive still going? 'Cause autumn (spring where I live) is over. '''[[User:RickTommy|Rick]][[User talk:RickTommy|Tommy]] [/wiki/Special:Contributions/RickTommy (edits)]''' 13:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes. We may or may not change the name, but the fundraising drive will be going on for the foreseeable future. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
I don't really see boosting the edit count as that important, but seeing as a lot of those articles have been in the category for a while, we should do ''something'' to garner attention. Not sure what, though. [[User:Power Pie|Po]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Power_Pie wer]https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/0/07/Homestar_Kamikaze_Green_Favicon.png[[User talk:Power Pie|Pie]] 20:01, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

== well the brothers Chaps have returned ==

good to know they have returned ey?

cheers
[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 08:23, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I think we are all happy about that! :) [[User:Homestar-Winner|'''Homestar'''-'''Winner''']] [[User talk:Homestar-Winner|'''(talk)''']] 17:26, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm skeptical, this could be like the Xeriously Forxe stunt, they might not have another peep for a year.

== Wiki image ==

I noticed the Homestar image in the top left corner (of every page) is just a gif, and a high quality one at that. It's over a megabyte. That's a GB of bandwidth for every thousand people who have to download that gif when they visit the site. I dunno, considering you guys are always asking for donations to help pay for the server, it seems like you could be cutting down a bit by replacing that gif with a light-weight SWF or something. --[/wiki/Special:Contributions/184.56.45.155 184.56.45.155] 03:36, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Normally it's a [http://hrwiki.org/w/skins/common/images/wiki-kb.gif small image]. We only use the larger one for a week or two at Decemberween time. We monitored our bandwidth last year and, while it did increase noticeably, it was only a fraction of our overall usage. Besides, we have unlimited bandwidth in our current setup, and it was over a year since our previous fundraiser. Not that a SWF is a bad idea, if only because it would give us more flexibility. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:16, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

== Stuttering? Stammering? ==

Does anyone else think that we should have a page on characters stuttering/stammering? [[User:NighttimeDriver50000|NighttimeDriver50000]] 04:33, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

No. Yes. Maybe. It's hard to answer yes/no questions like this one. If you can come up with enough material, '''be bold''' and create the article. If you are worried about going to a lot of effort for nothing, then at least try and make a case when asking the question. I personally can't think of a lot of stuttering or stammering off the top of my head, though. https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/3/37/JustOrangeCouch.png/48px-JustOrangeCouch.png [[User:OptimisticFool|'''OptimisticFool''']] 07:08, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I believe the rule is 3 instances for an article to stay. If you can find three clear-cut, without a doubt, singled out, the only way I know, instances, then just go for it.--[[User:The Swedish Ace|The Swedish Ace]] 16:02, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Our [[HRWiki:IN|inclusion guidelines]] state that for generic things, we need "at least five to ten appearances" that are "of at least moderate importance to the toon" in most of the instances. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I don't really think there is a lot of material on stuttering specifically, but on speech difficulties in general. There's really only one character who stutters (Homestar) while there are several characters who can't speak properly (Homsar, Senor Cardgage, among others).

Really there just needs to be a generic article on the use of realistically poor or exaggeratedly poor diction in Homestar Runner, as it is a distinct part of the series' appeal, and somewhat unique in the general body of recorded media. (compare the works of Loren Bouchard) — 75.73.70.113 ([[User talk:75.73.70.113|Talk]] | [/wiki/Special:Contributions/75.73.70.113 contribs]) 00:42, 9 April 2011 (UTC) (left [[HRWiki:Standards|unsigned]])
Anonny, do you mean like [[Deliberately Poor English]]? We already have that. They were talking about creating a more specific page than that. https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/8/8e/JustOnionBubs.png/20px-JustOnionBubs.png[[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|The Knight]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/The_Knights_Who_Say_Ni s Who] [[User talk:The Knights Who Say Ni|Say Ni]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/6/68/sbeyes.PNG/20px-sbeyes.PNG 01:25, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

== Discussion templates ==

It seems that there have been a few cases where one discussion bleeds onto another page, and certainly there are quite a few cases where conversations have transferred pages. Should we make templates for these occasions, like {{[[Template:discussion-continued|discussion-continued]]}}, {{[[Template:discussion-moved|discussion-moved]]}}, and {{[[Template:discussion-transferred|discussion-transferred]]}}? —'''[[User:Soiled Bargains|Soiled Bargains]]''' ([[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 20:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

After [[HRWiki talk:2011 Server Move|a recent edit]], I feel like mentioning this again. Should we? In [[Template talk:see|the words of]] [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]], would it spoil the wiki? —'''[[User:Soiled Bargains|Soiled Bargains]]''' ([[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 21:14, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
My opinion now is the same as a month ago: meh. They might be useful, but the formatting is so simple and the wording so straightforward that it's hardly worth making templates. If, like that {{[[Template:see|see]]}} template, they went in ''articles'', I might be more in favor, but given the complexity of discussions there's something to be said for the flexibility of ad-hoc notices. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:09, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP Trogday 2011 sale ==

It should be noted that a blurb for Telltale's Trogday sale (50% off SBCG4AP) has been included on the Main Pages for January 13th. '''''[[User:Kyojikasshu|kyojikasshu]]''''' 05:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== H*R Content ==

So are we back to one cartoon every 8 months now, or what's the deal? The Brothers Chaps have never really given a formal statement as to what's going on with the site there, here, or anywhere else. We all know the theories - the littlest of tiniest babies are a handful, they're working for Hollywood now, there's a series coming on Cartoon Network - but not once have they ever said "Here's what's going on with the website and why new content is not a priority any more." It's not even so much the lack of new content that's frustrating, it's the total lack of information that's frustrating. Even a conversation with Senor Cardgage would make more sense - at least he'd say SOMETHING. [/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.225.171.64 68.225.171.64] 18:00, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

We (still) don't know the answer to your question. If we did, we'd have said something already. Please direct all frustration and speculation to the forum — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't really do the forum thing (I prefer to not give out my non-dj-mankiewicz e-mail that much) but thanks for the response. It's more of a response than the Chaps have given us. [/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.225.171.64 68.225.171.64] 20:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Btw, email addresses at the forum are only used for registration and are not made public. In fact, unless there's some kind of problem with a user, most of the time even the admins never see them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

== Visible noses ==

Shouldn't there be a [[characters with visible noses]] page? or a [[lack of visible noses]] page or something like that? I already have a list of characters with visible noses just so you know. ([[1-Up|1-up]], [[Marshie]], [[Gel-arshie]], [[Mr. Shmallow]], [[Pan Pan]], [[Trivia Time]], [[Strong Mad]] and [[Characters|some more]]) The page will be like [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|Lack of visible body parts]].

I don't think it comes up enough to warrant a separate section on [[Lack of Visible Body Parts]], let alone a separate page. We'd only mention it if it was specifically referred to the character having/[[EP026|not having a nose]], which could easily fit under the "Other" section for anyone who isn't Strong Bad or Coach Z. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

You should just add those lines to the article and find out. If no one removes them, then they're good. If they do get removed, then it can be discussed on the article's talk page (which is a better place to talk about specifics than here). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:42, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, yes. I admit it's kind of low-key, but so is H*R these days.

== User pages of banned accounts/useless templates twofer discussion ==

I would like to point out that many people who have been permanently banned still retain their userpages. Examples include [[User:Bubs and Pom Pom fan|Bubs and Pom Pom Fan]] (alternate account for Marzifan) [[User:H*Bad|H*Bad]] (for use of sockpuppets) and [[User:Ugozima|Ugozima]] (threatening to DoS the wiki). I have previously tried bringing this up, but I was a lot more forceful, immature and... well, that's behind us. The point is, these pages are not visibly different than any other account, but we have a banner for such things [[Template:block|here]].

{| class="wikitable"

| '''This user has been blocked {{{length}}} from editing HRWiki, per ruling of [[HRWiki:Sysops|administrators]] for {{{reason}}}. See the [/wiki/Special:Log/block block log].'''
|}

When I attempted to add this template, it was undone, as I, admittably, was overstepping my allowances. But again, that was a year ago, and that isn't the point. The point is that we have this template, can use it, but are not using it. And it isn't even the only one. Some templates haven't been used since we changed our wiki's holding, and won't ever need use. Examples include [[Template:wrongtitle|wrongtitle]], [[Template:soft redirect|soft redirect]] and the rather bizarre [[Template:Trophy|Trophy]]. Where I'm getting at about all of this is:

* 1 — Should we add the above template to currently existing user-pages without a user, leave them, or delete them altogether?
* 2 — Should we weed out obsolete, unneeded templates that only take up space and never see use.

I bring this up now as, since we are in a lull, it is quiet enough to properly discuss this without thousands of other projects being done. So now that we have the silence to discuss it, let's discuss. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jellote here] 01:06, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Each of the templates you've mentioned are currently transcluded, mainly onto the userpages of those who have been long gone. {{[[Template:Trophy|Trophy]]}}, unlike the others however, is being discussed. In my opinion, it would only waste time to handle/substitute these transclusions so we can safely delete the templates. In regards to {{[[Template:block|block]]}}, I don't mean to speak for the sysops, but I find it draws more attention to user-critical situations than necessary. —'''[[User:Soiled Bargains|Soiled Bargains]]''' ([[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 02:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

== Mr. Bland? ==

I was editing a few seconds ago and I saw "[[Mr. Bland|Mr blaNd]]" in the CAPTCHA! What happened? --[/wiki/Special:Contributions/206.116.143.157 206.116.143.157] 01:43, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Every now and then, the CAPTCHA will pick a word from the body of work. (Originally it was part of an [[HRWiki:AFJAOBN|April Fools' joke]]. Afterward, I incorporated the Homestar Runner-related ones permanently into the mix, chosen at random intervals.) There are 193 to find.

Not sure if it's relevent or not, but there is a fun sighting of our favorite characters [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zrnd63DAH8o&feature=feedu here] on the latest Vlog Brothers video.

Is there a "[[Non-Letters being treated as letters]]" or a "[[Time Machines]]" page? I wanna know! --[/wiki/Special:Contributions/206.116.143.157 206.116.143.157] 22:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

The first is at least partially covered by [[Internet Slang]]. As for Time Machines, how many times have time machines appeared in the Homestar Runner world? I can think of a whole zero. One email [[2 emails|mentioned]] them, but that's not enough for a page. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Gobble)]] 01:17, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
oops. i meant to say '[[non-numbers being treated as numbers]]'. (e. g. [[Corpy NT6|NT6]], [[20X6]], [[TGS Issue 7|purple]].) as for time machines, i wanted the page to be a page ''refrencing'' time machines, not ''showing actual'' time machines! also, there's another [[part-time job|refrence]] to a time machine, but you never see it. --[/wiki/Special:Contributions/206.116.143.157 206.116.143.157] 22:24, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Wouldn't we then have to allow indirect mentions of time machines? IE: Poopsmith dressing up as Future Doc Brown? If so, I'm '''''against''''' that. Regardless, two mentions doesn't warrant a page either. https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/b/b1/Nohito.PNG/18px-Nohito.PNG [[User:ColdReactive|Cold]][[User talk:ColdReactive|Reactive]] 01:55, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

== Homestar on Chatroulette ==

Listen, I don't know if it was The Brother's Chaps or not, but I just talked to Homestar for a good couple minutes with somebody who did a flawless voice. They also had a flash overlay that went along with the conversation. Let me know if anyone else has witnessed this phenomenon. --[/wiki/Special:Contributions/74.76.114.79 74.76.114.79] 07:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Does [[Template:tobediscussed2|this]] or [[Template:rando|this]] seem useful? --[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gfdgsgxgzgdrc https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/a/a2/Strong_Bad_in_small_picture_frame.png/18px-Strong_Bad_in_small_picture_frame.png] '''[[User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc|Gfdgsgxg]][[User talk:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc|zgdrc]]''' 00:04, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Depends on what the content of these templates would be. I assume rando would behave like [[Random Toon]]? —'''[[User:Soiled Bargains|Soiled Bargains]]''' ([[User talk:Soiled Bargains|talk]]|[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Soiled_Bargains ctrb]) 00:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC), edited 00:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
We already have a [/wiki/Special:Random random button] and we don't need a second to be discussed template. — '''''[[User:DeFender1031|Defender1031]]*[[User talk:DeFender1031|Talk]]''''' 00:33, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Okay, after seeing them, we definitely don't need them. Rando is a bunch of gibberish template code that does essentially nothing at all but print broken template code, and even if the proper closing braces were added it'd do nothing but send some parameters straight through in a roundabout manner. The TBD one is essentially a more affirmatively worded version of the original, but without any of the elegance and namespace magic. There's no reason to put a notice about whether a page should stay as opposed to whether a page should be removed. — '''''[[User:DeFender1031|Defender1031]]*[[User talk:DeFender1031|Talk]]''''' 01:08, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

== Featured Template ==

I think the Featured Article Template: {{[[Template:featuredarticle|featuredarticle]]}}
should be shown on the main page and not on the talk page. I thinks its good for a user to know if an article is featured, so if the template is on the main page, it will be easier for new and/or inexperienced users to know if the article is a featured one. Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Concerns?

I don't think so. Wikipedia does mark Featured Articles (and, in a move I thoroughly oppose, even Good Articles) in the mainspace, but that's because Wikipedia FAs are chosen on their encyclopedic merit. Ours, by contrast, are chosen on a number of factors, not all of which have much to do with quality. To quote the FA template, being a Featured Article "...means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool." So I don't think marking them in the mainspace is a good idea.
