Strong Bad Email Navigation

All the Strong Bad Emails need the "Strong Bad Email" template added just before the Category listings. This will add the navigation box (the box can currently be seen on several of the newest emails).

Progress:

  • Done: 90-113
  • Not Done: 1-89

Filmography Categories

All of the main characters now have a Filmography Category. To add a toon to a character's filmography, you put a category link at the bottom of the toon's page, e.g. if Strong Bad is in Toon X, then on the Toon X page you put this at the bottom: [[Category:Strong Bad Filmography]]. That will make Toon X appear on the Strong Bad Filmography category page. The "Project" here is that many of the Toons and Emails currently don't have complete filmography links.

Having the filmography categories makes updating (what would have been a list) painless. However it does clutter up the bottom of each page. There are 12 main characters, if each one appeared in a toon , as they do in Where's the Cheat?, there would be at least 13 categories at the bottom of the page (characters + toon). Instead of using Categories to track filmographies, how about templates? A new instance of the Character shows up and the template is updated. The template could be displayed on an Article page that would not need to be touched. Any thoughts? - Drhaggis 22:49, 13 Sep 2004 (MST)

Cast (in order of appearance)

We'd like to standardize the way appearing characters are listed on toon pages. Many of them currently say "Featuring:" followed by a list of characters that appear in that toon. Instead, this should say something like this:

Cast (in order of appearance): Strong Bad, The Cheat

Notice that only the left part (up to and including the colon) is bold and the character names are not. And, of course, the characters should be in the order in which they appear in the toon. This is a project that may be most convenient if done in concert with the Filmography Categories project.
