== Capitalization topic ==
I actually might be able to get on for the editor meeting today, but I wanted to make sure I had a "HELL NO!!!" on record as regarding capitalizing any of the words on that list when they occur in titles (except when they're the first word). Every style guide I've ever seen takes that approach for articles and prepositions: When they occur in a title, you only capitalize them if they're the first word of the title. My $.02 worth; hope to see you at the meeting. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 09:58, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
:Some of those words are generally capitalized (Is for instance, Wikipedia capitalizes it). Most I agree with though. I'll be sure to pass on your thoughts if you don't make it though. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 10:01, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
::"Is" and "Are" would be capitalized in titles because they're verbs. I didn't notice them on the list. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 10:35, 5 May 2012 (EDT)
:::Did we ever come to a collective agreement about capitalization? -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 09:10, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
::::Pretty much. We follow standard naming procedures, look at Wikipedia if you aren't sure what words are capitalized or not. [[File:SolarDragonName.png|90px|link=User:Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]]) 09:40, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
:::::That works fine for me. Thanks! -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 09:43, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
::::::I still don't see why we should capitalise "is" in titles like "[[A Star Is Burns]]" and "[[Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife]]", and not for titles like "[[A Star is Born Again]]" and "[[A Star is Torn]]". {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 10:48, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
:::::::Because someone moved them to that title. Most likely [[User:Randomno|this guy]]. :| ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])☆ 10:49, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
::::::::The way I learned it in school was to capitalize "first word, last word, and all important words". Basically, that means to capitalize everything except articles (a, an, the); conjunctions (and, but, or, for example); and prepositions (to, in, on, of, into, etc.). "Is" and "Are" should be capitalized because they are verbs. The reason we have some episode titles that don't fit the pattern is probably because that's just how the titles happened to be done when the episode pages were first made, and up to now we really haven't addressed the topic. So almost certainly there will be some episode titles around with incorrect capitalization, even aside from [[User:Randomno|some random person]] making changes. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 11:04, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

== Wordless stories and Quotes tabs ==
Got a question/idea and I wanted to see what you thought about it. For wordless stories (for example, a lot of the ones by [[Sergio Aragonés]]), there won't be any quotes to put in. However, the Quotes redlinks for those stories are bothersome and look sloppy. What do you think about putting a note on these stories' Quotes tabs, along the lines of "This is a wordless story; as such, it has no quotations."? That way we don't have the redlinks just sitting there, giving the impression that there's supposed to be something under the tab and that we haven't bothered to put it in yet. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 09:23, 9 May 2012 (EDT)
:Instead of doing that, I'll add in a parameter to the tabs to exclude the quotes tab by putting "|quotes=no" or something similar. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])☆ 09:25, 9 May 2012 (EDT)
::Excluding the Quotes tabs completely is probably a better solution, but I wasn't sure how feasible it would be. Well, best of luck with the tweak and thanks for yout thoughts. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 09:28, 9 May 2012 (EDT)
:::It is done. Resizing the tabs to fill up the blank space would be hard though as we also have a parameter for resizing them if the gags tab is in so there is a blank space where the Quotes tab was. All you have to do is put "|quotes=no" in the tab templates. [[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]]) 09:30, 9 May 2012 (EDT)
::::I gave it a try with [[Ralph's Room 1]], and it's not quite there. If you use the parameter to turn off the Quotes tab, the text all ends up center-aligned. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 08:47, 10 May 2012 (EDT)
:::::I saw where I went wrong. Fixed now, and should be fine for other tabs (just checked on appearances to make sure). ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 10:17, 10 May 2012 (EDT)
:::::It looks good and works fine now. The pages involved look just a little odd when they're missing the Quotes tab, but I much prefer that look to having a Quotes redlink just sitting there. Besides, the pages' looking a little different may entice a random wandering surfer to stick around and check out the wiki some more. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 08:40, 11 May 2012 (EDT)
::::::I fixed the length earlier so the tabs fill up the most of the page. {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 10:35, 11 May 2012 (EDT)

== Message ==

I saw your message regarding shoutwiki. I left a reply, but you must have missed it, so I'll leave it here: Congrats on becoming a staff member. :) What happened to the previous staff/techs? Did they all leave? --[[User:Orange Ice|Orange Ice]] 09:39, 10 May 2012 (EDT)

== Re:Marcia Wallace ==

But [[Marcia Wallace]] is the guest star for the episode [[Ned 'N Edna's Blend]] from the [[season 23]]. --[[User:AnthonySimpsons|AnthonySimpsons]] 14:52, 11 May 2012 (EDT)
:Firstly, please reply on the talk page I left the message. Marcia Wallace has been credited as a guest star for over 150 episodes. If we were to add her to every template and page, it would be kind of pointless. We don't treat her as a guest star here for that reason. In fact, I'm still wondering why they don't just credit her as Also starring by now...

== Sitenotice error ==

[[File:Sitenotice error.png|thumb|Click to enlarge.]]
I have know idea why, maybe it's for reasons I'm unaware of, but, occasionally, a link on the [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice|sitenotice]] is bold. Why is this?

:I have no idea why this happens but it sorts itself out every time.

::Like I said on your talk page, Frederick, I've encountered this error as well before. It usually happens after you have visited that page. It would probably be best to contact Jake about that. {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 06:43, 12 May 2012 (EDT)
:::Okay. I know it 'ain't a big deal, but I get curious (I'm sure Randomno knows what I'm talking about). :P --[[User:Frederick|<big>Fred</big>]] ([[User talk:Frederick|Talk]] '''•''' [[Special:Contributions/Frederick|Contribs.]] '''•''' [[Special:Editcount/Frederick|Editcount]]) 06:46, 12 May 2012 (EDT)

== No image ==

I think we should user [[:File:No image.png]] over [[:File:Blank.png]]. It looks much better on the page, and it shows that there is purposely no image there.--{{User:Cook879/sig}} 19:02, 12 May 2012 (EDT)
:I generally use No Image for when there is an image available but no one's uploaded it yet. Blank I use to show there is no image available, i.e. the subject was only mentioned.

== Editing ==
Hi Solar. I see some editing on the Shoutwiki hub, but the database still seems locked. Will editing be back soon?--[[User:Orange Ice|Orange Ice]] 21:22, 18 May 2012 (EDT)
:Yep, staff are able to edit now. We're testing out our features, such as CreateWiki, and tying to get them to work (having a few problems with CreateWiki right now though :S). Once all the problems are sorted out, editing will be open again :). ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 02:47, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

Hi. Do you have an era for when editing will be open, or is that still unknown ? Thanks.--[[User:Orange Ice|Orange Ice]] 10:23, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
:Not yet I'm afraid. Still having a few problems with getting everything working again. However, we have upgraded MediaWiki to 1.19 and are just trying to get CreateWiki and a few other things to work first. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] '''•''' [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]]) 16:35, 26 May 2012 (EDT)

== Song appearances ==

I was looking at the revision history for {{ch|Lady Gaga}} and saw that you left a note about a person's song being heard not counting as an apprearance and that it hadn't been done for any other singer. Well, we apparently did do it once for {{ch|Barry White}}. I think it would be easier to just stick with the idea that a song being heard doesn't count as an appearance than it would be to try to add it in for every real-world singer character and episode where it's happened, so I'm going to go ahead and remove that one from Barry White's page. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 14:02, 19 May 2012 (EDT)
:Yep. That's fine by me. If a song is played that is by that singer/band, it can be mentioned on either the real-world page for said singer or band or, if we have an article for them, in the Behind the Laughter section. Look at [[Queen]] for an example. [[File:SolarDragonName.png|90px|link=User:Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]]) 14:49, 19 May 2012 (EDT)
::Splendid idea! Done for Barry White's [[Barry White|real-world page]]. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 21:47, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

== Music tab ==

Because of [[The Ned-liest Catch/Music]] and [[The Falcon and the D'ohman/Music]], I'm wondering if the wiki should have a music tab. What do you think? ~ [[User:Phinbart|'''Phinbart''']] ([[User talk:Phinbart|'''talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Phinbart|'''contribs''']]) ''' 05:03, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
:Even if we don't have one, we need the improve the pages first. {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 05:04, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
::Once we have more, sure. Right now, we can hardly do something when, for 506 episodes, it will create a red link.--{{User:Cook879/sig}} 06:56, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
:::And also, it can easily fit into production or list of songs. [[User:WebkinzMania|WebkinzMania]] 07:44, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
::::But the music pages are more detailed. List of songs only include major ones, not ones that are for a few seconds. {{User:Randomno/sig4}} 07:50, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

== Gags ==

First off, thanks for the Golden Homer!

Second, I won't be able to do the gags page for [[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]. I have no idea what to do with all of those images from the other couch gags. o.O

[[User:WebkinzMania|WebkinzMania]] 07:43, 1 June 2012 (EDT)
:Urm... good point... Just say it's made up of previous gags. We would need to make a list of all the gags eventually so just stick the {{T|incomplete}} template on the section after. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])☆ 07:48, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

== ShoutWiki ==

For some odd reason, on ShoutWiki, the "align" on the templates doesn't work. The templates go to the left for some reason.

== Promotional image ==

Would this (http://images.wikia.com/lossimpson/es/images/5/56/Imagen_promocional_7G08.png) be considered a promo image?

:No, it's not a promo. A telltale sign of a promo is if there is a "Matt Groening" signature on the image. I can not see one. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 15:43, 4 June 2012 (EDT)

== TreehouseOfBiscuit ==

I'm not sure if talk page is best place for this message, but I have returned from the dead and stuff! I sort of completely forgot about wiki editing in general for ages, but I have free time now. Anyway, is there anything I should know about the 'new' wiki in terms of editing differences and stuff?

== Random stuff ==

We should consider giving [http://duolingo.com/#/upload this] a go while it's free, if they put up English to German. If we're successful then we get free translation from people learning the language.

::Seems you're not the only one who thinks that. Most viewers seem to dislike the episode. But with the Simpsons being rather episodic, you can just forget about any episodes you dislike, and can think of them as non-canon.--[[User:Orange Ice|Orange Ice]] 14:05, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
:::Yeah, we had long discussions about whether it is non-canon. However, due to Lisa calling Skinner "Armin Tanzarian" in "[[I, D'oh-Bot]]", we would have to make that non-canon too. <big><big>[[User:Solar Dragon|The Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]])</big></big> 14:07, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Basically, that means to capitalize everything except articles (a, an, the); conjunctions (and, but, or, for example); and prepositions (to, in, on, of, into, etc.). "Is" and "Are" should be capitalized because they are verbs. The reason we have some episode titles that don't fit the pattern is probably because that's just how the titles happened to be done when the episode pages were first made, and up to now we really haven't addressed the topic. So almost certainly there will be some episode titles around with incorrect capitalization, even aside from [[User:Randomno|some random person]] making changes. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 11:04, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

I was looking at the revision history for {{ch|Lady Gaga}} and saw that you left a note about a person's song being heard not counting as an apprearance and that it hadn't been done for any other singer. Well, we apparently did do it once for {{ch|Barry White}}. I think it would be easier to just stick with the idea that a song being heard doesn't count as an appearance than it would be to try to add it in for every real-world singer character and episode where it's happened, so I'm going to go ahead and remove that one from Barry White's page. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 14:02, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

But [[Marcia Wallace]] is the guest star for the episode [[Ned 'N Edna's Blend]] from the [[season 23]]. --[[User:AnthonySimpsons|AnthonySimpsons]] 14:52, 11 May 2012 (EDT)
:Firstly, please reply on the talk page I left the message. Marcia Wallace has been credited as a guest star for over 150 episodes. If we were to add her to every template and page, it would be kind of pointless. We don't treat her as a guest star here for that reason. In fact, I'm still wondering why they don't just credit her as Also starring by now...

== Song appearances ==

I was looking at the revision history for {{ch|Lady Gaga}} and saw that you left a note about a person's song being heard not counting as an apprearance and that it hadn't been done for any other singer. Well, we apparently did do it once for {{ch|Barry White}}. I think it would be easier to just stick with the idea that a song being heard doesn't count as an appearance than it would be to try to add it in for every real-world singer character and episode where it's happened, so I'm going to go ahead and remove that one from Barry White's page. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 14:02, 19 May 2012 (EDT)
:Yep. That's fine by me. If a song is played that is by that singer/band, it can be mentioned on either the real-world page for said singer or band or, if we have an article for them, in the Behind the Laughter section. Look at [[Queen]] for an example.

== Two things ==

=== Thing one ===
Can you make [[fanon:User:Autoyes|Autoyes]] a bot on Fanon, please.

=== Thing two ===
I have worked out a way Brandine could be all those relations to Cletus! If Brandine is Cletus' proper mother, there is no way they can be half-siblings. For half-siblings, one of your parents has to have a child with a another spouse. I made an image to explain better (on the right). [[File:Half-siblings error family tree.png|right|thumb|Uh-oh, two Brandines.]]

It could be that Brandine adopted Cletus, as they do look around the same age. Then, they could be proper siblings, thus having the same parents.

== Two things ==

=== Thing one ===
Can you make [[fanon:User:Autoyes|Autoyes]] a bot on Fanon, please.

=== Thing two ===
I have worked out a way Brandine could be all those relations to Cletus! If Brandine is Cletus' proper mother, there is no way they can be half-siblings. For half-siblings, one of your parents has to have a child with a another spouse. I made an image to explain better (on the right). [[File:Half-siblings error family tree.png|right|thumb|Uh-oh, two Brandines.]]

It could be that Brandine adopted Cletus, as they do look around the same age. Then, they could be proper siblings, thus having the same parents.

== Downloaded as .jpg, uploaded as .gif ==

For some strange reason, I downloaded this image [[:File:Do the Bartman promo art.gif]] as a .jpg file, but would not upload as a .jpg. There was a notice saying "This does not match the mime type (image/gif)" So, after trying twice, I uploaded it as a .gif. Do you know what the problem could be? ~ [[User:Phinbart|'''Phinbart''']] ([[User talk:Phinbart|'''talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Phinbart|'''contribs''']]) ''' 10:16, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

:::::MediaWiki has a problem with that sort of thing. You can't save a file under a different format from an internet browser and then upload it, to do so you have to open it in a file editing program (even Paint) and save it as the other format first.

You should ask the user first before deleting his (my) subpage... [[User:FatHomer|FatHomer]][[User talk:FatHomer|Talk]] 10:19, 11 April 2012 (EDT)
:Well, firstly it was kind of useless. And secondly, it was full of red links, most of which probably wouldn't get articles. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 10:32, 11 April 2012 (EDT)

::::::::Firstly, the edit, history etc. buttons start with capitals, something that barely any monobook skin has. Secondly, the content background is white, which makes it look bad and uncolourful. Thirdly, the gradient on the sidebar looks quite bad, and just needs to be a light yellow color. I just think it looks bad and I don't use it. {{User:Randomno/sig2}} 14:00, 13 April 2012 (EDT)

== Hub ==

Seems the shoutwiki hub is back up, but all edits before June are gone. What's going on?--[[User:Orange Ice|Orange Ice]] 11:01, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
:No idea. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] ([[User talk:Solar Dragon|Talk]] '''•''' [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Contribs.]]) 11:02, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
::I was just about to tell Solar that ShoutWiki's back up, but everything (articles, images) since it came back online in January has been lost. That means creating episode articles from episodes that aired WAY back last July. Editing is not available yet though. And Orange Ice, they've probably reverted to their December backups. ~ [[User:Phinbart|'''Phinbart''']] ([[User talk:Phinbart|'''talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/Phinbart|'''contribs''']]) ''' 11:04, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
