Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Episode airdate information

Usage in episode articles

How did you picture the episode articles thing? Were you going to use {{Maelstrom NTSC broadcast date}} (which has been done BTW, I've been contributing to this project before it even existed) in Maelstrom? --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 04:31, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

It was my bad I didn't realise that Maelstrom existed so i have changed it. It was only to serve a point anyway not an example of a change. I think you are a little confused on what exactly I'm trying to do here. Its an overhaul of the current system not something completely new. And you can see how i did the channel logo by looking at the code. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:30, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

Integration into {{Episode Data}}

Could be integrated automatically :-) Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 05:03, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

That's what I was getting at in my previous comment. We just use Template:PAGENAME NTSC broadcast date, really. --Catrope^{(Talk to me or e-mail me)} 05:19, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

I would like to see mockups for ideas, but I think the "date" in the template would need to be shorter. Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 05:23, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

How short would you want the date to be? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:30, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

Also it couldn't be added automatically because there are some episodes with the same name as a TOS episode or like the Pegasus episode also shares its name with other pages. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:48, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

Example of use on page

See Crossroads, Part II for how a template would look on the page. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:37, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

Included US airdate template too. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 05:47, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
