The Town Hall is a place where users can meet and discuss larger changes to the wiki, such as policy proposals and new ways of displaying and organizing information. It serves as a way for users to be involved without having to find a relevant discussion page. Please be constructive and courteous when corresponding with fellow editors.
We're testing this new discussion system for the Town Hall right now. You can still view the old Town Hall.
Ever since the wiki went down, the Window for "Today's Episode" on the front page has been missing. I miss this element of the home page. I like to use it to jump to information on today's episode after I listen to it. I hope there are plans to restore this element of the home page.
I understand if it is just taking time to fix things.
Right now the Pete Reneday entry simply says that he is also a prolific TV actor. I am wondering if this should be expanded. I am thinking about changing this to "a prolific voice actor." He seems to do quite a lot of things for movies, TV shows, and video games. I am also wondering about adding something about how he is well known for playing Splinter in the animated 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoonand for doing voices at theme park rides, especially the Country Bear Jamboree at Disney World. (See Wikipedia for more evidence of this information.)
I also recall hearing Reneday in the Last Chance Detectives story "Last Flight of the Dragon Lady" and on Focus on the Family's "The Singing Bible" CD thesingingbible.com
Are all of these details worthy of being added to the Pete Reneday article?
I just realized that I am probably posting this in the wrong place on the Wiki. I had posted the question on the discussion tab for the Pete Reneday entry, but now one week later I didn't see anyone interact with it, so I posted it here. I'm still relatively new to the wiki, and I welcome anyone teaching me the more appropriate way to do things around here.
Feel free to add {{Active discussion}} to a talk page you edit, that'll help it get seen. It's not perfect but it does a little.
I'm finally back here to do a little cleanup of the disrepair that the wiki has fallen into. Here are a few notes for the active admins (if there are any) in the future:
{{New Episodes}} but it was still affecting the main content. I'm going to fix that section myself, but clearing out errors on those pages is a high priority.This goes for anyone reading this, not just the admins. If you see something broken, fix it. We can always rollback if the edit goes wrong. And if you can't edit it yourself, email me. Thanks!
In the meantime, looks like DPL doesn't like {{{uses}}} anymore and News links require a colon like file links. Reddo any idea what's up?
I've been reflecting on the Odyssey timeline. Specifically, my kids asked how long Whit was gone in the Middle East. Now, I know it was just over 3 years between Gone (September 1993) and Home Sweet Home (November 1996), but how much Odyssey time passed? Of course, any time we start thinking about the number of years that have passed, things will get a little goofy since some kids age and Whit and other adults never do. (Connie is her own unique situation as well.) But I've been thinking that based on the flow of school and summer episodes plus Christmas episodes, could we construct a sort of estimated timeline for all of Odyssey? I'm wondering if anyone has done any work with this or if there is somewhere on the wiki that a page has collected some of this information. If not, I am interested in starting to compile what I can.
Just as Wikipedia does yearly donations, have ya'll ever thought about allowing a donation area to help with server costs/domain renewal/etc via something like a paypal or anything? Even if it's a small donation I'd love to help. Over the years I've visited the site enough.
I think this is a good idea. AIO Wiki is such a great resource that I would be happy to give some money to help its upkeep!
Hey all! Some of you might have seen Moviemanev making edits and uploading photos recently. This is Evan David, content producer (I believe) for AIO! This is the first time in my memory when a member of the AIO team has been directly involved with the wiki.
I’ve been considering how to regard Evan’s edits here on the wiki. Because he’s on the team, and since he’s been creating canon (or not, depending on how the “old guard” decides) with his social media posts, he could have the potential to create canon directly with an AIOWiki edit. This would give him a privilege that no other user has, although he would still be bound by the general guidelines for users and non-sysops.
I see two alternatives for Evan’s edits:
Thoughts?
I think the first option is the better and safer route. I welcome expanded canon aio content. However I do not think we should be counting contributions on the wiki as creating canon. Official AIO should come from an official source. Opening up canon/world creation to essentially any wiki editor could or will cause problems. We do not want to host user created content as official. User created content is great, but not the focus of this wiki. We are here (as far as I understand it) to document everything created by the AIO team. Which gets back to the original question. I see the main problem being precedence. Even in this very unusual situation I do not think we can open up the door to calling user created materials official.
Who wishes Alice Funderburk was a more frequent character?
I think we should all share our ideas for what they should do for the issue of Will Ryan's death.
I noticed the thumbnails for the seasons don't exist. A couple of these I found online but I "made" a couple up by taking the soundtrack thumbnails and removing the word soundtrack (for seasons 6-8). They still have the music credits on the bottom cause I didn't want to take the time to photoshop them out. I don't know if I have permissions to upload them to the season pages or even if ya'll want them there, but here they are if you want to add them.
Since those aren’t official images, I don’t think it would be best to use them. We have custom images for upcoming albums and the unreleased episodes, but those have been seen as special cases on the wiki since they also aren’t official. If the other admins/users disagree, I’d be happy to reconsider.
