Dangeresque: puppet squad?
This was added to the template, and the template was added to that page, but i don't see this as fitting. The promotional media is gameplay trailers and previews. This has nothing to do with the next game aside from using the same characters, most likely to get people in the mood. We're not about to put stunt double on this list, are we? — Defender1031*Talk 12:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I think it fits primarily because of the link at the very end, which does point back to Telltale Games, though you are right that this is not as direct as previous promos. On the other hand, Strong Bad Gameways is also pretty tangental, and I don't think anyone doubts that belongs in the list as well. wbwolf (t | ed) 14:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- Strong bad gameways is clearly telling people about safety on wii flights. this has nothing to do with wii flights. — Defender1031*Talk 15:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm vaguely wondering if Shark-Tooth Bubs' "Or did you?" line means the short is meant to be a sort of prologue trailer for Dangeresque 3, but we'd have to wait for the game to come out to be certain. Regardless, the "click here to visit Telltale Games" link does kinda suggest to me that it's meant to be at least a promotion of some kind. --Belthazar 15:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
- I wish to remove it from the template as well. The fact it's not available at telltalegames.com probably means that it wasn't completely intended to promote Dangeresque 3.

- The puppet stuff is listed under promotional material for the game, and it definitely fits that description. In other words, it wasn't created just for the heck of it; it was created to generate interest in and advertise SBCG4AP. What differentiates it from stunt double is that the email wasn't created to promote the game, and that's why the email isn't listed here. — It's dot com 05:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- I agree: the puppet short was created to promote the game, even if its plot isn't related to the game's. So, it should go in the template.

This template is getting HUGE. We need to do something like space it out so it's not so obnoxious, anyone agree? — MichaelXX2

- We could (shudder) copy what Wikipedia does for insanely large templates (sampled here) and break it up to episodes (already done) and put the episode names in a column on the left. Or we could be more selective about the articles we put on the template. Either way, I'm not entirely sure that this template really needs it. If there's a second season, that's a different matter. --

- I think if they make another season we should give it its own template. BBG 02:42, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm for it. Let's see here...

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 1:
Homestar RuinerVarious: Snake Boxer 5, Teen Girl Squad, Walkthrough
Responses: (House of Strong, Marzipan's, K.o.T. Castle, The Track, The Field)
Promotional Media: Homestar at the Track, Around the Field
- There we go! My first publicly viewable WikiMedia table! Yay! Though I did copy and paste some of the code for the current template, it was just the CSS. --75.5.176.233 03:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC), edited again on 03:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC), and 03:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC).
- Looks good, but it would look better if you boldfaced "various", "responses", and "promotional media". BBG 03:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- That looked ugly (in my opinion), plus, Wikipedia does it with the example Martyo posted earlier, and we do a similar thing for the Dangeresque template. Oh, and allow me to correct myself: MediaWiki, not WikiMedia. Oops. --75.5.176.233 03:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- Now that I think about it, this thing isn't going to be easy to manage. Its formatting makes it hard to work with, not to mention find something. --75.5.176.233 03:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- I think we should just keep it as is, as it allows easy navigation between episodes in the series, and as Annony said, we'd have to redo the current formatting on all those pages.
