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)

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. small_logo.pngUsername-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

Short
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)

Joshua - Okay, going through your list from top to bottom, here's my opinion:
  • Strong Bad Email #1 - Delete These things don't really go together too well. They just aren't related closely enough. I.E, I don't really see Floppy Disc Container relating to SBEmails by Length enough to share a template. I know they were grouped together before, but then it was under "Additional Information," not "Strong Bad Emails." Am I making sense here?
  • Peasants Quest - Keep It has a purpose. Although I'm not sure if the "Scalding Lake" link is nessecary.
  • Teen Girl Squad - Partial Delete At least the Characters part. The Issue section is actually okay.
  • Limozeen - Delete Not needed at all.
  • Sightings - Keep Useful.
  • Cheat Commandos - Delete Pushing the limits here...
  • Marzipan's Answering Machine - Keep A-okay. Although I don't like how the 12.2 hangs out like that.
  • Main Characters - Delete I know this one's been around a while, but I don't think we really need it.
  • Toons & Shorts - Delete For reasons stated above
  • Videlectrix Games - Keep I actually like this one. Many of these games are little known and closely connected.
  • Stinkoman 20X6 - Keep Very useful.
  • Main Pages - Neutral I don't know about this one. It's sort of like Shorts and Toons, but I like it for some reason.
  • Old Timey - Delete No. Just, no.
  • Strong Bad Emails #2 - Keep Probably the best template out there.
— It's dot com 20:43, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC):
  • Strong Bad Email #1 - Keep. The different ways of organizing the information should be interlinked.
  • Peasants Quest - Keep.
  • Teen Girl Squad - Keep.
  • Limozeen - Neutral.
  • Sightings - Keep.
  • Cheat Commandos - Prune severely. Maybe just the characters...
  • Marzipan's Answering Machine - Keep.
  • Main Characters - Keep. It's been around for a while with no complaints till now.
  • Toons - Delete. These technically are unrelated to each other.
  • Shorts - Delete. Same as above.
  • Videlectrix Games - Neutral.
  • Stinkoman 20X6 - Keep.
  • Main Pages - Keep.
  • Old Timey - Delete or severely prune. Again, maybe just the characters, or something...
  • Strong Bad Emails #2 - Keep. Good ol' sbemails.
--DorianGray:
  • Strong Bad Email #1 - Neutral.
  • Peasants Quest - Keep.
  • Teen Girl Squad - Partial Delete. Just the episodes.
  • Limozeen - Delete.
  • Sightings - Keep.
  • Cheat Commandos - Delete.
  • Marzipan's Answering Machine - Keep.
  • Main Characters - Keep.
  • Toons - Delete. They're unrelated and can all be found at the big Toons page.
  • Shorts - Delete. See previous answer.
  • Videlectrix Games - Keep. Some of these are obscure...
  • Stinkoman 20X6 - Keep.
  • Main Pages - Keep.
  • Old Timey - Delete. This is just too big and clunky.
  • Strong Bad Emails #2 - Keep. This is pretty important.
On a side note, is there a better place for this? Maybe in Da Basement? This is getting to be pretty big, especially if everyone wants a vote. --DorianGray
It will probably need to be moved and eventually archived. But, on the other hand, this page is relatively empty other than this discussion. — It's dot com 21:00, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Bad Info: See this talk. Keep
  • Peasants Quest - Keep
  • Teen Girl Squad - Keep
  • Limozeen - Keep. If not all, then leave just the charactes.

  • Cheat Commandos - Keep. If not all, then leave just the charactes.
