Tweaking up the References/Citiations Page up

[Propellus]

So this idea has just recently popped into my mind for this kind of formatting which is referring to this page. And I'll explain it in detail.


Thread's Premise

You know how some TV shows has multiple episodes in 1 episode? For instances like Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, etc. The reference tutorial goes like this:

Anime, Animated Series, TV Series and Webseries

• [Series name]; S [Season number] (If any); Ep. [Episode number].

But what is my suggestion for this optional instance?

If the said series has multiple episodes in a single episode:

• [Series name]; S [Season number] (If any); Ep. [Episode number] [Episode Part 1/Episode Part 2]

Note: It is recommended to always bold the specific episode if that's being referred to in question along with this additional note "Note: When a single reference is in bold, this means that it is the exact episode where the specific feat/scan is located." See this profile for a prior example.

That's all. Won't be mandatory though.

This is logical. I’m fine with it being added.

Honestly, you actually created the staff thread before me. You are faster, you won. Anyway, I agree, it was my plan to discuss it.

I almost thought I was the one with the idea considering that I've basically invented this kind of formatting towards this page. But glad I'm not the only one.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

This seems fine.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

I like it, it's simple enough. Agreed.

 

[KLOL506]

Seems fine. Though then again, I'm pretty sure they'd do it any way even without this specific part being put into the page as some episodes do have specials every once in a while.

 

[Psychomaster35]

Yep, seems fine to me.

 

[Dereck03]

I could see this being fine. Gladly it's not mandatory cos IMO sometimes it could be a pain in edition.

 

[Propellus]

Bump

Some bonus thing I’d recommend on the topic of anime/TV/webseries: Along with bolding the exact episode it happens in in a back-to-back format episode, I feel that the exact timestamp of a certain feat/ability/statement should be listed so they would know where to look when they want to be quick. Especially since there are some instances where episodes can potentially go up to an hour long. As an example, see here.

That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea, thanks for the addition

That's great idea

I also think that this seems uncontroversial to apply.

Timestamps should probably only be optional though.

[SamanPatou]

It's good.

 

[Antvasima]

Is some experienced member here willing and able to properly apply this change please?

 

[Psychomaster35]

Timestamps should probably only be optional though.

Would it still be possible to list it but note it being optional?

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, that seems fine to me.

 

[Propellus]

Bump, we could use someone's experience to apply this

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I could temporarily unlock the page in question if you are able and willing to apply your intended changes to it on your own.

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

Bump.

Here is simply the draft, and it needs to be added in the "references" page. The page is currently locked:

To properly label a series that contains multiple episodes in one episode, follow this format:

[Series name]; S[Season number] (if applicable); Ep. [Episode number] [Episode Part 1/Episode Part 2].

It is suggested to bold the particular episode when referring to it in a question or discussion.
Additionally, include the note "Note: When a single reference is in bold, this means that it is the exact episode where the specific feat/scan is located."

For an example, refer to this profile.

It is also recommended to include the exact timestamp of a specific feat/ability/statement in addition to bolding the exact episode in a back-to-back format to the current draft for labeling a series with multiple episodes in a single episode. This will provide viewers with an even more streamlined approach to finding specific content within lengthy episodes. An example of this can be seen here.

For an example, check this profile

Please note that this is optional and not mandatory.

 

[Antvasima]

I will unlock it for you. Tell me here when you are done please.

 

[Antvasima]

I have unlocked the page:

References

References is a section in character profiles where the source references can be shown. They should be used whenever and wherever possible to increase the reliability of the information presented in the pages and to improve the overall quality of this wiki. To use them, switch to the source...

vsbattles.fandom.com

'Ey, my page is up as an example!

 

[Antvasima]

I am not sure if it is a good idea to use example links, as the pages can be revised to use different formatting later on.

Well true, but they still could be useful to give the viewer an idea of how the Reference will be displayed onto the profile

 

[Antvasima]

Maybe wiki-hosted screencapture images can be linked to as examples instead?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Sure, @Propellus could you do screencapture images if you don't mind?

 

[Propellus]

Sure thing.

 

[Propellus]

I have uploaded them

 

[ImmortalDread]

Ay, I think we can now apply. @Antvasima you got any issues with the uploaded pictures?

 

[Antvasima]

It seems fine to me. Thank you for helping out.

You can probably apply the intended changes here now.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

I have implemented the changes as instructed, although I have made some adjustments to the initially intended modifications. This was done in light of the suggestion to use images instead of pages for the examples. Please check and confirm if the changes are acceptable.

You were supposed to use the images instead of the actual pages since the formatting of those pages could likely change


Edit: Never mind, you've handled that already. So it's fine either way

Wait, if I recall correctly, I believe that prior to your comment, I had already replaced the examples with images?

Edit: I even explicitly mentioned in the message you quoted, that I replaced the page examples into images instead.

You did as I re-checked the revision. I edited my reply from above since I have noticed it
