Although the DVD commentaries are generally just the two Brothers Chaps, many times they are joined by [[contributors|friends and family]] and/or Matt will portray one of the dumb animal characters. The toon articles all identify who is present for the DVD version with a "Commentary by:" subheader, but is there a separate article tracking commentators? Something like [[:Category:Filmography]], [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender]], or [[Fan Costumes#Costumes]]. If not this is something that I think would be a good addition to the wiki. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 17:26, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

== Trogday decor ==
-
:Each DVD page (e.g. [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One]]) lists the commentators of each toon, but it might be interesting and helpful to have a centralized list of all of them. Ideally it should be formatted differently from the DVD articles (such as having separate sections for each character), or else it might be redundant. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 18:05, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Does the '''Featured content of the day (or whenever)''' template automatically switch to different links on certain days? Such as linking to [[dragon]], [[Trogday '08]] and other things when the time comes? Or is that done manually? Because tomorrow is Trogday. - [[User:HoveringSombrero|HoveringSombrero]] ([[User talk:HoveringSombrero|talk]]) [[File:Shoulder shoomps.png|23px]]

How many references to a thing need to be on a page for the thing the page is about to become a real page? Just curious because my mock-up seinfeld page includes eight references to the titular show. The page on [[The Big Lebowski]] has the same amount of references... so do I just make a [[Seinfeld]] page now? ----[[User:Jeffjman|J∃ffJ]][[User_talk:Jeffjman|Ma]][[Special:Contributions/Jeffjman|n]][[File:jeffjsigchrismas.png|23px]] 20:13, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

==We need to do something about these spambots!==

I have been getting sick and tired of these ridiculous spam bots! Is there not a way to protect the site? Mayhaps we could add an ''s'' to the ''http'' and ''s''ecure the website? Maybe even '''BAN''' the bots and make a lot of our lives easier in that way! Who's with me? Mods? Admins? Sysops? Whatever the Authority here is called? Fellow Gnot-a-gnoblin-gnot-a-gnelf-I'm-a-gnome-and-you've-been-gnomed's? Come on! Let's do this! --[[User:Jeffjman|J∃ffJ]][[User_talk:Jeffjman|Ma]][[Special:Contributions/Jeffjman|n]][[File:jeffjsigchrismas.png|23px]] 12:56, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
+
-
: A number of the bots ''have'' been banned. Unfortunately, they use dynamic IP addresses, which is a problem on two levels. Ban one IP address, you don't really solve the problem. Ban a range and there's a chance you're actually hitting real people (hosting [[Decemberween Short Shorts|real people parties]]) alongside the bots. For example, the ban of [[Special:Contributions/185.220.100.254|this user]] (which I do not feel should have been infinite). Two gnome edits, followed by spam after a year-long break. It's possible the spambots are that advanced, but I suspect the gnome edits were done by an actual human, and then the IP address got nabbed by a spambot later.
+
-
: I don't know a ton about https, but I do know that there are other solutions: practical if a bit irritating to anonnies (like a stronger CAPTCHA) to outright detrimental to them (strongly limiting anonny edits). We've done the latter before, but typically only during REALLY bad spam/vandalism outbreaks; we're not there at present. And the former isn't my decision to make. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

== SVG support? ==
+
-
 
+
-
Is there any potential for the wiki adding support for uploading SVG images? Although PNGs are still ideal for toon screenshots, photographs, or game graphics, a lot of pages (especially galleries like [[Items]], [[Symbols and Logos]], character [[:Category:Character Variations|variations]] and [[:Category:Character Evolution|evolutions]]) include cut-out images of Flash graphics. Because these are already created in vector format, SVG is a simple process of conversion and takes out the guesswork of resizing a PNG; it also can allow for smaller file sizes and easier dynamic rescaling without the need to re-save a higher resolution file. This has [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 31#SVGs|brought up since at least (gasp) 2009]], and I think the idea still has merit. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 19:56, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

:I generally agree with the sentiment, but I also feel that voting can be justified when a major decision lacks the participation necessary for consensus. The [[HRWiki:Main page redesign/Votes|main page redesign voting page]] isn't intended as a substitute for discussion {{--}} it was created as a last resort after [[HRWiki talk:Main page redesign|multiple long discussions]] regarding the various pros and cons of each change, and was specifically designed to facilitate free discussion within a simple format. It allows users to more easily indicate "I agree/disagree for the above reasons", and leaves room to elaborate if needed. The decision of which changes to make is ultimately up to the sysops, but I thought having a clear visual indicator of public opinion would help with that. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 07:43, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

::Hey TMBGLOVER, since you're interested in learning how to contribute to the wiki, I would strongly encourage that you start familiarizing yourself with the pages linked from [[Help:Contents]].  In particular, the [[Help:Editing]] page answers the question that you have.  Nevertheless, it's also important questions such as "when should I create a page?".  The [[HRWiki:Inclusion guidelines]] guidelines help answer such questions.  Also the [[HRWiki:Standards]] page helps determine what content to put in a page.  Although using other existing pages as a template also works it's helpful to know the details.  Note that both of those pages are linked to the Main Help page via the [[:Category:HRWiki Policy]] and [[:Category:HRWiki Guidelines]] category links.  When in doubt, feel free to ask for clarification.  Hope this helps! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:59, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

:I dunno, it's never really been explicitly stated as "[[for kids]]", even [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|the page]] on the website as a whole it's demographic is described as "teens and young adults".

From [[Tastes Like Chicken Interview (censored)|early in the site's history]], the Brothers made it a point to avoid over-the-top gross-out shock humor.

== The TALK talk page ==

Discord has an age barrier, and many people don’t wanna create an account on there just to talk. And the IRC channel is dead, basically. Thus, I have a revolutionary idea, on how to talk to people. I introduce to you, THE TALK TALK PAGE! Basically, we put up a page, (the page could be a guidelines/introductory thing) and in the talk page, we can chat through people editing with their own thoughts! Listen, this doesn’t have to go on forever. All I’m asking for is a good week or so to test out the idea. If we link it from the main page, and let people try it out, we’ll see how many people use it, and then we can either keep it up, or not. I’m just asking for 1 try. Please?

The template could be:

Why come whenever I try to link to [[lady…ing]] and [[Cheat Commandos…O's]], the link is broken? Is it because of those ellipses? {{--}} {{User:HoveringSombrero/sig}}

:Sort of! "…" is different from "...", it's a single character rather than three periods. Try highlighting it and you can see. This is kind of like the difference between “curly quotes” and "straight quotes" - in both cases, the former is typically made via autocorrect in word processors or mobile keyboards, while the latter is preferred by the wiki. So while [[lady…ing]] and [[lady...ing]] may ''look'' the same, they are actually two different typed entries. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 22:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

and it would look like:

What do you guys think? Cool idea? Stupid idea? I have made more templates over on my [[User:HoveringSombrero/Sandbox|sandbox]]. - [[User:HoveringSombrero|HoveringSombrero]] ([[User talk:HoveringSombrero|talk]]) [[File:Shoulder shoomps.jpg|23px]]

It has been suggested that the Main Page be redesigned. Feel free to use its project page for proposed redesigns.

Trogday decor

Does the Featured content of the day (or whenever) template automatically switch to different links on certain days? Such as linking to dragon, Trogday '08 and other things when the time comes? Or is that done manually? Because tomorrow is Trogday. - HoveringSombrero (talk)

It's not automatic, but as you can see (at the time of this writing), the decorations were indeed put up to coincide with Trogday. — It's dot com 01:43, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

How many references do you need?

How many references to a thing need to be on a page for the thing the page is about to become a real page? Just curious because my mock-up seinfeld page includes eight references to the titular show. The page on The Big Lebowski has the same amount of references... so do I just make a Seinfeld page now? ----J∃ffJMan 20:13, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

done and done ----J∃ffJMan 20:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
See our inclusion guidelines. — It's dot com 21:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Songs archive

Would it be OK if I created a subpage to my user page with a complete archive of every existing song in the Homestar universe? I wanna be the TMBGLOVER too! 22:28, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure we have that covered. — It's dot com 23:18, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Well, I was gonna add MP3 files with them, so people could download them and stuff. Is that still OK? I wanna be the TMBGLOVER too! 00:26, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
No, that's not what the user space is for. — It's dot com 00:43, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Why come whenever I try to link to lady…ing and Cheat Commandos…O's, the link is broken? Is it because of those ellipses? — HoveringSombrero (talk)

Sort of! "…" is different from "...", it's a single character rather than three periods. Try highlighting it and you can see. This is kind of like the difference between “curly quotes” and "straight quotes" - in both cases, the former is typically made via autocorrect in word processors or mobile keyboards, while the latter is preferred by the wiki. So while lady…ing and lady...ing may look the same, they are actually two different typed entries. -- Bleu Ninja 22:17, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
I've added redirects to fix the issue. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:06, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
