This is doable (there's a big however though). I've just added mentions to the [[Template:Infobox Astronomical Object]], which took roughly an hour and a half / 2 hours and that was for close to 400 articles. | This is doable (there's a big however though).

Adding another field to the infobox isn't too tricky, but combining it with the code to make it collapse/not appear in the infobox see [[Arkon]] (it has mentions and no appearances) or [[Orbis]] (only has appearances and type). Having this code in the infobox has a side affect of all the fields needing to be present on the article, otherwise the infobox doesn't work (even if they're not being used). (Contact me if this is somewhat rambling I have just finished the 400 articles). | Adding another field to the infobox isn't too tricky, but combining it with the code to make it collapse/not appear in the infobox see [[Arkon]] (it has mentions and no appearances) or [[Orbis]] (only has appearances and type).

Anyways, there are roughly 4000 individuals article pages that use the infobox template. The mentions field can be added to these articles before we add it to the template, but we still would need to make sure all 4000 have the mentions field on it.

:It's actually fairly easy to add "if" checks to these, the only problem is the excessive amount of html code in each of the infobox templates. | :It's actually fairly easy to add "if" checks to these, the only problem is the excessive amount of html code in each of the infobox templates. If those could be put into the CSS file and the styles used instead, they would be much more easily done. I've made some changes (easily reverted) to [[Arkon]] and the [[Template:Infobox Astronomical Object|astromical object]] template to show the changes that would (could? should?) be made to prevent someone having to update 400 (4000?) articles just to clean up/fix an infobox. :) -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 16:11, January 13, 2010 (UTC) | ||

Back in October 2009, you flagged a bit of dubious info on [[The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith]] regarding Nicholas Courtney apparently having a stroke. Just a heads up I've gone ahead and removed this information (or, to be more precise, reworded it as a myth). I can't find any confirmation of this in any reputable source either, 18 months after you first flagged it. [[Special:Contributions/68.146.64.9|68.146.64.9]] 13:34, January 20, 2011 (UTC) | |||
