Legend

Is the legend really needed anymore? It was put up so we would know what was transcribed and what wasn't, and that was way back in early March. Everything is done now. I think it kind of clutters the layout. -- Tom 12:01, 20 Jul 2004 (MST)

I kindof like being able to see what's there. Should we add an "F" code for Fun Facts? -- JoeyDay 12:02, 20 Jul 2004 (MST)
I don't like the "F" idea either. I guess I like the idea of a simple list. The table of contents in each email shows what's in it... But that's after you click on the individual email. Maybe we could use catagories? Each toon with an easter egg gets added to a catagory called "Easter Eggs". Then there would be a list of the toons that just have Easter Eggs... Hmm... Yeah, this is all so complicated. -- Tom 12:09, 20 Jul 2004 (MST)

How to Move an Email

This is mainly for my own benefit. I keep forgetting one or two of these steps. Hopefully, a checklist will be helpful.

Copying the email

  1. Copy the summary page, the transcript page, and the easter eggs page.
  2. Add "Screenshot" and "Transcript" headers, and change "Additional Information" to "External Links".
  3. Change "See the email" to "watch {title}" in external links.
  4. Convert links from (()) to [[]].
  5. Don't forget CamelCase words that don't have partheses.
  6. Update link destinations so they are compatible with new organization methods (e.g. sbemails that are sub-paged on the old wiki).
  7. Add any appropriate category declarations to the bottom.
  8. Update the transcript (might as well while you're at it) to the latest standard format.

Copying user comments

  1. Copy the User Comments page (if one exists) to the discussion page for the email.
  2. Convert links from (()) to [[]].
  3. Don't forget CamelCase words that don't have partheses.
  4. Make sure usernames are in the correct form (i.e. User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay)
