Talk:20X6

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 16:25, 8 October 2005

20X6 is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute.

Are we sure that Sticklyman is 20X6 The Poopsmith? I remember there was some debate about this when Under Construction first came out. I always thought he was just supposed to be a XiaoXiao guy. --Dark Grapefruit

It still is debated. See: Talk:Stickly Man. I think the wording on the article is sufficient until we get more info. - Drhaggis 13:40, 26 Oct 2004 (MST)

Note: Stop making non-canon (not from the cartoons) additions to the 20X6 pages.--Hysterical Woman 13:38, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)

A Discussion Waiting to be Discussed

We've seen Nebulon in Main Page 1 and LimoZeen But They're in Space which are both in present time. But we also see Nebulon on the game Stinkoman 20X6. I think this should qualify Nebulon to be a 20X6 character as well as a present-day. Cheatachu72 13:23, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

20X6 Template?

the Stinkoman 20X6 game has its own template, and much more recently Old-Timey got its own template thanks to bkmlb, which is looking good... shouldn't the 20X6 world (not the game) have its own Navigation Template as well? I think it's big enough it deserves one. --Stux 04:00, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think we may be going overboard with the templates. Some of them are too big (this one would be), and when pages have two templates it looks odd. That's what I think anyway. Username-talk 04:05, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I agree with HSRUsername, we have some templates that are flat out useless in my view. 20X6 would be to big, like Old-Timey is. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 04:07, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Heh, you think pages get big with all the templates, check out some of the longer Wikipedia ones, like some politicians. -- Tom 04:16, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I don't know if this is the right place for my comment, or if a more central location would be better, but I think we're going a little overboard on nav templates here. For example, the only common thing about the Shorts is that TBC call them all that. I think we should consider removing some of the new templates from pages that don't really need them. — It's dot com 06:21, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I not... not, not... not! not! not! not second that. You do like me! Eh, I find them rather helpful when I want to randomly jump around or see what's related. Sometimes it can help when you're looking for a certain something related to so-and-so, but don't know what that first thing is ... called? I dunno. But yeah moderation is not, not... er I mean definitely a good thing. --Stux 18:46, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure I'm reading your comments correctly, but if I am, then you're right: I don't not dislike not you. Seriously, I think you're doing a good job around here. These templates, however, do need to be examined more closely, and we need some more feedback. — It's dot com 19:26, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Gah! The templates! They're- they're attacking! O_O It's the gallery thing all over again. The way I see it: Use them where it's logical, such as SBemails and Stinkoman 20X6, but don't use them just to use them, like Shorts and Old-Timey. - Joshua 19:29, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think that templates should be used for things like games, where we would have to list them at the bottom of the page. Like at Stinkoman 20X6, we would be listing all of the related articles at the bottom of the page is it wasn't for the template. We don't say

On another short, do we? Rogue Leader / (my talk) 19:34, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I personally don't like the sudden onslaught of templates either... I think we're kinda pushing it a bit. Some things make good logical sense to group together, like Joshua said. Others... I don't think so. It seems we ARE using some, just coz we can. There are already lists for some of these things, too. Shorts, for example, are all already listed on the Toons page. Seems to me like the templates are really just trying to do the job that the categories already do... I just think they're getting a little clunky is all. Un...settling. --DorianGray

2 cents: We are going overboard with the templates. I don't mind the SBEmail, PQ, Stinkoman 20X6 (game), and Sightings templates; but things like CC, Old-Timey, and 20X6 are best left to the Categories. —BazookaJoe 19:43, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I will let you in on a little secret page of mine (one of two that i keep) with all those teplates. Just make a list of which one are fine and which need to hit the road. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 20:13, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
