Transfers from my Sandbox[[edit source]]
I can't provide proper credit, not being an admin, so I can't transfer edit history, but I'd just like to note that User:Aquanafrahudy was very helpful in the writing of the Chibnall sections of the guides I'm discussing.
Guide:Crash Course is ready to go.
Guide:Plot summary for those who left with Tennant, Guide:Plot summary for those who left with Smith, Guide:Plot summary for those who left with Capaldi, and Guide:Plot summary for new Who could all use a section on Flux and the specials to be written if someone would like to do that. (If not, give me like 30 min - 1 hour and I probably can. I'll, you know, have to figure out what the hell actually happened in Flux first, but I can try.) I'm going to clean up the episode suggestion guides real quick and then they should be good to ship, they're really easy to work with. Najawin ☎ 23:07, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- I can do the Flux summary, gimme a minute. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 23:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Guide:Episodes for new Who, Guide:Episodes for those who left with Capaldi, Guide:Episodes for those who left with Smith, and Guide:Episodes for those who left with Tennant are all fundamentally ready to ship. They can be cleaned up and made to look pretty, but they're in a state that's useable. Najawin ☎ 23:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Fixing typos four times over is exhausting. Couldn't we do a Clever Thing with template/modules so that each of the three or four pages automatically uses the same plot summary for a given season ? Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 00:01, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Probably? But I'd suggest this is a bad idea. I can't recall off hand if for the plot ones I changed much but I do know that I tweaked stuff for the episode lists between each guide. They aren't quite identical, because they're tailored to slightly different people. Najawin ☎ 00:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- The plot ones end a bit abruptly at the moment, should there be something at the end saying something roughly like "and that's everything that's happened since X doctor left"? Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 08:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I've been unavailable for most of today. If there are large sections that are identical between guides, they can definitely be split off and transcluded. Perhaps something like Guide:Shared components/some form of name for the reused section? In any case, I will add the finished guides onto the index tomorrow. Bongo50 ☎ 19:12, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- I've added all of the guides to Guide:Index. Before I link it on the main page and do an announcement/sitenotice, does it look alright? Bongo50 ☎ 20:01, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Update on the mainpage link? Najawin ☎ 04:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
