Talk:Quote of the Week

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The fact that these dates won't line up is driving me nuts. Is there some snippet of code we can use to add a date in a sort of uniform manner? -- AgentSeethroo 13:38, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Ask and ye shall receive. Actually, I came here to ask you if you liked the table, but found your note. You like? -- Tom 13:50, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Yeah, it looks wicked! I looked at the code, and even though it's probably rudimentary HTML, I'm lost on it. That's probably gonna be your thing. -- AgentSeethroo 13:55, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Okay, I did the whole thing. It looks kind of weird now, since some of the quotes are so long. I don't like how the date and download links get moved down. How about another form of writing the date? I tried another one in the first three, check it out. -- Tom 14:05, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

It looks pretty good, but not uniform, ya know? How can we make the long quotey ones look...not jacked up? -- AgentSeethroo 14:09, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Yeah. This might be of some help. I think this might be the most confusing Wiki format there is. Maybe someone else has some ideas... Joey? -- Tom 14:17, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

This may be a stupid question, but can you use html throughout MediaWiki? Or just when creating tables? -- AgentSeethroo 14:38, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

I think it works everywhere. Strong? Em? Strike? Tt? Yup. Well, at least those tags work. But it's important to use wikitext where possible. I know that's one thing that Wikignomes do on Wikipedia, they fix someone's crazy HTML and make it simple to understand wikitext. -- Tom 15:20, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Um hath anys peoples realized that half thy links have been 404'd? --Clever Dan 17:42, 9 Oct 2004 (MST)

Yeah, if someone happens to have those quotes mirrored, it would be great to be able to link to them. --oddtodd 14:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

Okay, I have a mirror for a few of them. Most of them I don't have, though. --FatPamPam

Also, if you keep pressing the QotW button, you don't just get Homestar's broken speech bubble, but you also get a frame where he's saying 'undefined' -- Matt 16:59, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

blabittablough

Am I the only one that hears a very clear z at the beginning of the last "word" of the 12/16 quote? I suggested "zabbitablough" as a more accurate transcription, but it was reverted. (BTW, I agree with "blabittablough" in the actual email, but this sounds different.)

I hear a "Z," as well. -- FortyTwo

Yup. That's definitely a Z. Try changing it again.
