-	How should we cover them? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 09:43, 25 June 2015 (UTC)	+	There are a lot of talk page discussions happening on this wiki. The problem is, this wiki is not very active, so such discussions rarely get consensus and very few things get done. (That's why I'm {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Links&diff=777176&oldid=777175 always}} {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Puppet_Character_Variations&diff=prev&oldid=776839 reviving}} {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Homestar_Runner_20th_Anniversary_Show&diff=prev&oldid=775801 old}} {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Teenage_Variation&diff=prev&oldid=776233 discussions}} with a phrase like "I still agree with this.") I think there should be some way to keep track of all the ongoing discussions. Maybe a <nowiki>[[HRWiki:Discussions]]</nowiki> page or something to keep these discussions from becoming inactive. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 01:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
-	:I think the first question to ask is "SHOULD we cover them". Followed up, depending on the answer, by "how". Personally, I'm on the fence about the former. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 08:58, 26 June 2015 (UTC)	+	:I still agree with this. <small>(See?

		+	:My bad. I probably copy-pasted it when updating and forgot to change the date. Thanks for bringing it to my attention~  --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
-	So, [[User:Broncotroll|Broncotroll]] has been adding a new <nowiki>'section'</nowiki> to certain articles that separates [[Poker Night at the Inventory]] references to <nowiki>'Out-of-Universe'.</nowiki> Personally, I don't believe that PK&tI references should be segregated, but rather just considered normal and added in the normal 'Appearances' and references to it in articles [http://hrwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Strong_Bad&curid=817&diff=749230&oldid=747999 should not be removed]. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 18:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)	+	== Two Questions ==
-	:I can understand what you mean about the segmentation, but having references to Strong Bad "going to the inventory" definitely merited deletion. Strong Bad is an oft-visited article and it should not have passing references to out-of-universe games no one bought. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:: Also, I mostly segmented the PNATI references when having them in the text of the article would be confusing or break the fourth wall. For example, I have no idea who "Heavy" is, and mentioning him as if he's an hr character and not some crossover guy is misleading. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:59, 26 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::: Just unsegmented it in places where it was streamlined into appearances. But I think the segment should stay when foreign characters or references are involved. Also, I have a precedent. I got the particular wording from [[Explosions]]{{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 22:05, 26 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::::I still disagree and find it '''completely irrational''' to segregate just bullet points because they make references to characters outside of the Homestar Runner universe. You shouldn't remove or segregate information on articles just because ''you don't understand it''.	+
-	::::Also, you saying '''<nowiki>'passing references to out-of-universe games no one bought.'</nowiki>''' is incredibly ignorant.  - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 23:30, 26 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::::: Just because you say it '''in bold''' doesn't make it true, it just makes you like a '''supercilious ***'''. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:08, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::::::You call me supercilious when you just violated an HRWiki policy by [[HRWiki:Swears|swearing]] in a situation where it does not add to the conversation and is not a quote. .	+
-	::::::Also, you keep referring to some 'precedent', yet you never link to it. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:23, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:::::::Okay, I'm going to try to steer this conversation from a never-ending slapfights of ad hominem into a conversation again. The big question I ask with this decision is, Are there enough examples of out-of-universe bullets to warrant a new section on ''every page'' that PK&TI is mentioned? Since it's the only thing that's really big that isn't just a small short that is out of universe and features a Homestar Runner character, there is almost no reason that it should warrant its own section and not be incorporated into the HRWiki like everything else is. It's such a small game that it can be easily put into articles seamlessly and doesn't need this silly column just for it. If you don't understand the bullet point, you could click on the game title and learn about it and who 'The Heavy' is in the game. These changes are not needed and should all be reverted for adding nothing to the content but being intrusive into the natural flow of articles. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:52, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::::::::Edit Conflict: Broncotroll, The "precedent" you refer to as "proof" that we do things this way was originally added by... wait for it... {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Explosions&diff=next&oldid=735705 '''you'''}}! This sectioning off has '''never''' been how we do things. In addition, your recent comment using profanity was uncalled for, and inappropriate. Please do not do it again. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:54, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:::::::::On the topic of whether we should be separating references like this, the answer is no. They are references made by TBC in works in which TBC were directly involved made by HR characters. Oh, and for the record, if we're going to start separating every reference by what universe it's in, every page is going to have like [[Storybook World|four]] [[Old-Timey|or]] [[20X6|five]] [[Cheat Commandos|sections]]. I agree with Catjaz. It breaks up the flow of pages and gives undue attention to the "out-of-universe" entries. In essence, separating them makes them stand out more, and gives them MORE weight, not less. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:09, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::::::::: Okay, I'll defer. You're right. I totally didn't remember making that edit. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 01:13, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:::::::::::Fair enough. The one thing I do agree with you on though is the removal of the line that essentially said "Strong bad likes to spend his free time when he's not checking email jumping out of the HR universe and playing poker in a multi-universe crossover" from his character bio. Stuff like that doesn't really belong. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:16, 27 July 2015 (UTC)	+

-	This is an odd idea, but would it be possible to embed Strong Bad's latest tweet on the front page? I feel like there's a lot of wasted space under the 'Browse the Knowledge Base' section that could be used for an embedded tweet or something else. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:38, 30 July 2015 (UTC)	+	== Some questions we would like to ask about... ==
-	:Whoa, great idea! That would actually make the main page a lot livelier. I would recommend putting it in a template and updating ''that''. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 10:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::Idea I like! +1! How about calling the template {{t|latesttweet}}?  It'd have to be a the sysop who'd add the template to the main page in the end. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 12:30, 30 July 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:::I don't think that the HRWiki can support embedded tweets, however - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 06:27, 18 August 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::::Well, not literally, but I meant just copying the tweet's contents into a template (or any other kind of page), and then embedding that page on the main page, similar to the list of updates. We don't need to implement a live Twitter feed or anything <strike>complicated</strike> ''requiring an API'' like that. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 19:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:::::Oh, we could do that definitely! The only thing we need now is a sysop. But the question is, are sysops Legendary Legends or Mysterious Myths? Nobody's ever seen one in the last 86 minutes! - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 20:16, 28 August 2015 (UTC)	+
-	== An idea (again) ==	+	Hi there, I'm a stranger who wants to ask you some questions.
-	It would be a good idea to make a page with a list of all of the [[Talk:Date Nite#Title Card|title cards]] in it (similar to the [[Opening Credits]] page)? Like [[:File:I_Killed_Pom_Pom_title.png|this one in I Killed Pom Pom]] or [[:File:ADecemberweenMiracle.png|A Decemberween <s>Miracle</s> Mackerel]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 17:22, 11 August 2015 (UTC)	+	1) When will ALL the old Flash pages turn to HTML5?
-	:Do we not have a page like that already? I'm surprised... Well, if we don't, I'd recommend that it be named [[Title Cards]], have a description explaining what a title card is, elaborating that only the big ones and holiday ones really ever have them, and then a gallery of all the title cards that ever happened in chronological order, with perhaps a see also pointing to [[Irregular Loading Screens]], and Stockton running a slant to break through the defense. Got it? Annnnnd.... BREAK! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:43, 11 August 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::Good jorb. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)	+
-	== [[H*R.com updates 2015|H*R.com updates]]? ==	+	2) When are you going to UNBAN IP addresses who "committed" persistent vandalism?
-	Back when TBC's activities were mostly contained within homestarrunner.com, these page titles made sense. But with updates happening on twitter, YouTube exclusives, and with off-side updates sadly being more common than on it, should these pages be changed to a more neutral title to reflect these off-site updates more accurately? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:04, 5 October 2015 (UTC)	+	3) If Flash is dead, are you going to cancel HomestarRunner.com ?
-	:I feel like "H*R.com" is more representative of the Homestar Runner body of work rather than the website itself, but I can agree that it would be better to change it to "H*R Updates" possibly. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 03:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::Incidentally, "H*R.com" links to [[Homestar Runner (body of work)]] instead of [[homestarrunner.com]]. If there is a supporting consensus for this, I've posted how updates to Homestar Runner as a whole could be covered on the main page in the [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki%3ASandbox&diff=752021&oldid=752020 sandbox]. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 15:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)	+
-	:::I like it, especially because the Strong Bad twitter page would dominate the main page's update list if each tweet were given as much weight as a site update. It sounds like simply changing the titles from "H*R.com" to "H*R" will reflect the recent paradigm shift quite nicely. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:23, 5 October 2015 (UTC)	+

-	== Uhh... this is awkward. ==	+	4) Why wouldn't we see ANY updates from 2011 to 2014?
-	Anyone else think it's weird that the videos of the day (or whenever) on this exact page are christmas things and yet it's not Halloween yet? [[Special:Contributions/98.159.29.164|98.159.29.164]] 13:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)	+	5) Could y'all please tell us what email The Brothers Chaps have?
-	:That's left over from last year, I think. It just hasn't been updated. Although, this wiki has a Halloween design, so that might show Halloween toons by then. But hey, even [[vacation#Postcard 3|a stopped clock]] is right twice a day. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 14:22, 12 October 2015 (UTC)	+
-	::Incidentally, given how unlikely it is for a clock to be perfectly calibrated, a stopped clock is right MORE often than a working one, a working one likely never being exactly right. It's one of those weird cases where a decent approximation all the time is more useful than an exact number occasionally. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:43, 12 October 2015 (UTC)	+

		+	:1) We don't know. Ask [[the Brothers Chaps]].
		+	:2) Never. Why should we?
		+	:3) You'll have to be more specific as to what that means exactly. We aren't involved with homestarrunner.com, so we can't take down someone else's website. And The Brothers Chaps are planning to give the site a HTML5 update, so they won't take it down.
		+	:4) Kids, creative burnout, side projects, etc. See [[HRWiki:Hiatuses]] for more details.

Also, make constructive Wiki edits (that means not vandalism, with or without scare quotes), not just Talk page chatter. Basically, you need to start over completely and pretend you are not and were never you and do not care about you - and that doesn't mean to insult yourself, it means ''do not mention'' yourself. You've built up far too much bad karma, so it's very likely that even the slightest hint that you are you will be treated with immediate suspicion, and likely result in further blocks.

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

[edit] Featured content of the day (or whenever) issue

I noticed that the trogdor 08 link to "watch" links to trogday.html, and not trogday08.html is this a known issue? ColdReactive 13:04, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Fixed. — It's dot com 15:48, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

[edit] Discussions

There are a lot of talk page discussions happening on this wiki. The problem is, this wiki is not very active, so such discussions rarely get consensus and very few things get done. (That's why I'm always reviving old discussions with a phrase like "I still agree with this.") I think there should be some way to keep track of all the ongoing discussions. Maybe a [[HRWiki:Discussions]] page or something to keep these discussions from becoming inactive. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 01:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

I still agree with this. (See? That proves my point!) Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 06:17, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

I also agree with this. (You have a good point!) Minecraft lover147 04:58, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

There's HRWiki:Open Discussions - not really active, but since it's directly linked from The Stick it could be revived easily. -- Bleu Ninja 21:40, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

[edit] Aquabats Kickstarter Cameo

Homestar Runner makes an appearance in this Aquabats Kickstarter video

[edit] February 21?

Why does the Main Page say that the newest Skills of an Artist was released on February 21 when it was released this month? 76.184.27.104 20:23, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

My bad. I probably copy-pasted it when updating and forgot to change the date. Thanks for bringing it to my attention~ --DorianGray 20:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

[edit] Two Questions

These two edits raise two questions concerning wiki standards.

See HRWiki talk:Standards → Linking to articles with disambiguation in the page title

and HRWiki talk:Standards → Retroactive names in transcripts

[edit] Some questions we would like to ask about...

Hi there, I'm a stranger who wants to ask you some questions.

1) When will ALL the old Flash pages turn to HTML5?

2) When are you going to UNBAN IP addresses who "committed" persistent vandalism?

3) If Flash is dead, are you going to cancel HomestarRunner.com ?

4) Why wouldn't we see ANY updates from 2011 to 2014?

5) Could y'all please tell us what email The Brothers Chaps have?

--83.185.35.154 18:37, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

1) We don't know. Ask the Brothers Chaps.

2) Never. Why should we?

3) You'll have to be more specific as to what that means exactly. We aren't involved with homestarrunner.com, so we can't take down someone else's website. And The Brothers Chaps are planning to give the site a HTML5 update, so they won't take it down.

4) Kids, creative burnout, side projects, etc. See HRWiki:Hiatuses for more details.

5) Their email address used to be brotherschaps@homestarrunner.com, but it was removed from the site's Email page, so it seems @StrongBadActual is now their primary contact method.

Hope this helps! Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 22:33, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Concerning the answer #2, why never? --83.185.35.154 22:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

To reduce the risk of a repeat offender. The Knights Who Say Ni 23:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

THAT repeat offender is way worse than CE5, aren't we right? --83.185.35.154 23:36, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Look, I'm not sure what your issues are, but the simple truth is that the best thing for you to do is behave like someone who has never even heard the name "Maudi Algabban" (we are not fooled, we know who you are) and has literally zero curiosity about the name or the user's history, while also showing no particular interest toward all the things you show far too much interest over (such as the Pyongyang reference, the hiatuses, and the possibility of homestarrunner.com being taken down) and never, ever, even for a moment, even consider writing loud yelling, swearing posts demanding people unblock you and give you answers to questions we have no way of answering. Also, make constructive Wiki edits (that means not vandalism, with or without scare quotes), not just Talk page chatter. Basically, you need to start over completely and pretend you are not and were never you and do not care about you - and that doesn't mean to insult yourself, it means do not mention yourself. You've built up far too much bad karma, so it's very likely that even the slightest hint that you are you will be treated with immediate suspicion, and likely result in further blocks. And if you think this is unreasonable, perhaps what you really need to do is to find a way to end your obsession with this Wiki. You've been pulling these bizarre stunts for literal years. --Jay v.2020 (Talk) 23:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

I must tell you all that I'm NOTHING but a stranger, but if you would like to send some ANGRY emails to him, his email address is -redacted- . Maudi MUST be punished and he's WAY the worst contributor on Homestar Runner Wiki! LET'S GET HIM!!!! --83.185.35.154 23:57, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

*sigh* I tried. --Jay v.2020 (Talk) 23:59, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

[edit] Netiquette w/r/t interviews on defunct sites

As I clean up various pages on the site I'm finding that many cited interviews and links are dead and gone.

See HRWiki talk:Standards → Interviews on defunct sites

[edit] https

Hi! Can you make this site secure please, https. Thanks kindly!

 ?

I have literally no idea what you mean by that. -Minecraft lover147 04:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube channel?

Maybe you could consider adding the HomestarRunner YouTube channel to the new content watchlist, since that's where TBC seems to be doing most of their work, now?

[edit] Redesign

I was just looking at the HRWiki:Main page redesign, and it had something entitled, "On this day..." for H*R stuff that happened on that day in history. I like the idea of that, but when I looked on it, it had stuff for February 9th. Where I live, it's still February 8th.
