Wiki discussion is the place where major discussions and decisions can be made. Larger discussions will have their own pages but smaller discussions will go here.

Foreign broadcasters

We seem to have a whole load of pages about foreign TV stations that broadcast the show. I don't believe we need all of these. The major English ones we should keep, in the scope of the wiki, but the foreign ones should go unless there's a special reason an article should stay. Thoughts? The Solar Dragon 12:22, May 21, 2016 (EDT)

There is no serious disadvantage of these pages. If some editors have energy to maintain them let they do.
However if not – and I suspect this is the case – a simple list is enough. Practically content of Template:Broadcasters --2F13 (talk) 01:57, May 29, 2016 (EDT)
A list or a table is enough, I think T-Mac (talk) 15:49, August 1, 2016 (EDT)
The stubbier pages could probably be merged into a table. --Nick97 (talk ~ contribs) 22:41, August 16, 2016 (EDT)

Ask a question

Does page https://answers.simpsonswiki.com/ask work? Weeks ago I posted a question but I don't see it at all. --2F13 (talk) 10:56, June 19, 2016 (EDT)

Yes, it works. Due to a large amount of spam, questions need to be approved. I haven't done so in about a week (your question was posted a week ago). I have approved them now. The Solar Dragon 11:55, June 19, 2016 (EDT)
Just to add, once you've had at least one question approved (as you now have), the system will allow you to post new questions immediately without the need for staff approval. --Jake 15:56, June 19, 2016 (EDT)
Fine, thanks. :-) --2F13 (talk) 01:44, June 21, 2016 (EDT)


Category membership

I think if an image is member of any subcategory of Category:Images then it should not be duplicated in Category:Images itself too. Especially I mean 30413 members of Category:Images_by_license_(fair_use) also appear in endless list of 31367 simple "Images". --2F13 (talk) 01:49, June 23, 2016 (EDT)

I feel like it's best to have all images in once place so Category:Images should have them all in. Having images in subcategories alone will usually result in some being missed if any bot tasks need to be performed on them. This is the same reason we have all characters in one category, all locations, episodes etc. The Solar Dragon 05:49, June 23, 2016 (EDT)

SNPP

Tons of information can be found on late SNPP. My favourite is the "Didja notice …" section in the episode capsules. :-) I don't say we should copy everything from SNPP into this wiki but I suggest to place links pointing to this good old site serving for more than a decade. --2F13 (talk) 02:39, July 10, 2016 (EDT)

Whenever we use content from SNPP, we always leave a link to the source in the References section of that article. We also have a dedicated article on The Simpsons Archive itself. --Jake 16:32, July 10, 2016 (EDT)
