Online Phenomenon Infobox
I've been thinking...Since Online Phenomenon pages are PR pages, how about we create an infobox for sites? So far, For role-play site articles, we can make an infobox that reveals this information:

There will be game information in the infobox.


 * Name of website:
 * Picture of Website logo:
 * Website link:
 * Website abbreviation:
 * Type of role-play website (modified canon for an example):
 * Website Staff:
 * Date founded:

This is for role-play websites though, I'll think of ideas for others, and I'll work on the infobox, if I need to make an example. Thoughts, comments, and ideas? 18:50, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

It's a good idea. Have it somewhat like the Clan articles, or even character articles. We'd need to get into contact with the founders of the fanfiction websites, though that's not much of a problem. 20:47, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

I agree too. I'm not all that good with online fan stuff and everything, but I think this will work. 01:54, Sun, Feb, 12, 2012

Here is the model. The first infobox. 04:41, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

That looks good, but I'm not sure what to add.

Maybe add under important dates close date if appliable. 05:25, 27, 02, 2012

Anything to add I think would be on the dictation of those who are founders of the website. We can start on the coding and then find all the founders who've made applications for online phenomenon and start editing. To forewarn, these will not have nominations. 00:13, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yet another infobox
Again, another idea for an infobox. This is for the official sites page. Look at the second infobox here. So, my idea is this:


 * That a infobox could be placed in each section of a website on the official sites page.

Thoughts, comments, and ideas? -- 04:41, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

This makes sense to me, but shouldn't there be like a category for what type of website it is?

Sounds good, I'll add that into the model to see how it would look like. 18:23, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

That looks good.Just curious, why is this necessary? Is it for orginization? Just not quite clear on that.

Yes, organization. If we can spruce up the reality pages more, then we are able to nominate them. 18:38, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Okay thanks.

I agree this is good. 05:35, Mon, Feb, 13, 2012

It's a bit more than sprucing up pages to nominate. Its so we have a clear understanding of how certain Reality pages should be laid out. As for the template, I'm a bit wary on the charcat box style. It seems overwhelming when there are 4+ of those templates on just one page. Take note that each official site can not stand as it's own article due to the small possibilities of information we can put on those articles. 23:52, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...I thought that an infobox would be much. I rethought it, and since the official sites page is more like the prey page, we can have a template like the prey one. 17:39, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

I agree to have something like the prey template. 00:32, 25, 02, 2012

I agree with DJ.

Er...Here's my idea. Comments? Thoughts? Ideas? -- 21:31, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Great job Stoney! We'll need to organise the coding though. 06:07, 26, 02, 2012

It is simple, but right now, it's coded from scratch, which is not how we're going to use it. I added parameters, which is simple, so users can just fill in the info, not code it out. This is the complete set of coding that will be added on to the template page. Once it's on the template page, when we add the template, it'll be simple 'cause it uses parameters. Sorry if I didn't explain, well, but that's what I mean. 06:04, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Also, the image we could put can be the logo of the website. 21:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

I like the idea of that Stoney. 01:00, 03, 03, 2012

Same here. 01:04, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

The only question I raise is do we need an image? Otherwise, it'd be wonderful if we can start putting this idea into action. 00:13, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

We don't need one...but I just thought that we could possibly have the image as the logo of the website, so others get familiar with it. 00:17, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Erin Hunter ~ Silver Nomination
I hope it's fine to nominate this. It needs some work, but I added references and expanded Vicky's and Tui's section. Comments? 02:40, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe expand Vicky and Tui a bit more? It's fine if there isn't much to add. 23:09, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Can you add more references for the Author's section? If not, I understand. 00:49, 03, 03, 2012

I saw a reference from wikipedia....I would suggest changing to to whatever reference Wikipedia is using. 18:41, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, there are quite a few references from This requires a user to navigate in order to find the relevant information (even though the navigation is minimal - one click, I believe a reader should not have to search through a page to find information) I would suggest taking a screenshot of the "Meet Erin Hunter" part and using it as the reference.  18:45, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

I expanded each of the authors' sections, added refs, and I'll get to working on enhancing the references now. 05:01, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

I added screenshots to the warriorcats.com references, replaced a reference from wikipedia with another. I just need to replace one more wikipedia reference. 01:55, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Chat template
I know I shouldv'e sort of posted this in the previous discussion. I tried adding chat templates to the Chat pages, and when I previewed the edit, it just came up with the coding that I copied from the template page, with my edits to it. Is there someway to fix it, or is it just the coding? 09:39, 06, 03, 2012

What pages were you adding it to, and what's the link for the template? I'll take a look around and see what's up. 09:41, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

The link is here, and I tried adding some to Erin Hunter Chat 1. I'll try adding them to different chat pages. 06:12, 07, 03, 2012

Yup, I noticed it too. In the coding, for outcome and summary, there's a particular set of coding--different then on question and answer, and the two sets aren't mixing well, so that's the problem. Atelda's going to fix 'em, but for now, let's not add the templates to the chat articles, until they're fixed. 18:05, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Kay. 06:10, 08, 03, 2012

I edited the template a bit, changing ifeq to switch. I think it's working now, see Erin Hunter Chat 1. In the outcome field, entering "False" or "Unsure" will open a new variable "summary". For the edit I made, the code was

For this, the outcome was:

If you enter anything but "False" or "Unsure" in outcome, "summary" will remain closed. I might have misunderstood, but I think Atelda said that we don't need a summary when the information is true. If I did misunderstand, I'll change the template.

Kind regards, 14:34, March 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, first, I very sincerely apologise. I should've seen that there was a much simpler way. Perhaps working on all that knives coding has "complexified" me a bit. All that had to be done was to add a default parameter. I deleted the "summary" parameter. Now the usage is like this:

For, we get

For, we get

For, we get

Hope that clears it up. My apologies, again.

Kind regards, 15:11, March 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, yet another thing. On answers like "Cherith's favorite food is chocolate." and answers which tell us why something happened (why did Ferncloud lose so much family etc), I think we do not need the "outcome" parameter, so if you enter "none" in the outcome parameter, it will not be displayed.  gives us:

The rest is unchanged. I can, of course change it back if you all so wish.

Kind regards, 18:19, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Lightning, that really helped. Okay, so everything's cool, I'll start adding them to pages. 03:09, 09, 03, 2012

Fake References
Hi all. I went over here to unify the references. Unification wasn't needed, and I was bored, so I decided to read what was there on the official forums listed as references. Not one of them opened. Error every time. I asked two users on chat to try it, and they said the same. Considering there are a lot of references, this seems to be a pressing matter, which needs work.

Kind regards, 19:18, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

The admins at the official warrior forums deleted all the forums that we references. They brought back the Fall Q&A, not sure they'll do it with the Summer one. However, as for now, it raises the question, do we delete this article and restore it once we can properly cite the information revealed, or leave it putting a notice up. I preferably stand with the first option. 00:18, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I asked on the Official forum about this, and got an excellent response. I'm going to be getting the entire transcript from Dawnwing. She's one of the few users who's words I actually trust. It'll be a little bit until she can post it, but, we will have the references. 18:05, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

Great, thanks Cloudy. I don't know why they deleted the forums... 05:39, 15, 03, 2012

Authors in the Chat template
Decided to make a new section as this is a different issue. In the Erin Hunter Chats, several times one question is answered differently (even if the answers are similar, there's always a slight difference) by two, or three, or four of the authors. In such cases, what should be done? I could add an "Author" parameter, but I'm not sure what I want it to look like.

Kind regards, 14:57, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know how other's are doing with the chat template, but I just put in who answered the question at the very end. It might look odd with another section, but we'll have to see. 18:43, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

It seems like a good idea, but as 'Teldy said, users can put the erin who answered the question at the end. I think we should leave it for now, and see how things go. 04:41, March 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Update: I edited the template (again :O) Now you can add in the authors like this:

Kind regards, 11:35, March 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Update again: I added in options to add all four authors. See here. Kind regards, 12:16, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

I was actually already testing how things would look with adding in the authors on this page (though I didn't think of trying multiple authors). xD It looks excellent, Lightning, and it works great. I like this idea. Though, I believe that if all of the questions are answered by a single author, then it can be added near the end of the article, like DJ did with Erin Hunter Chat 1, though we'll all need to see how this goes. 06:17, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

<3 You are really good at coding Lightning. That looks fantastic. I agree with if there's only one author in the chat, it shouldn't matter. But normally the author would be stated in the intro anyway. 06:44, 23, 03, 2012

Erin Hunter Chat 1 - Silver Nomination
I've been working on it a lot, and I'm proud of the articles look. I added in the chat template, and stated almost every thing mentioned in the chat. Comments? 03:13, 17, 03, 2012

Can you try adding references to the little description of the Erin Hunter Chat? If not, then it's fine. 06:35, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

I added, one reference. I'll add more if you want me to. 02:15, 18, 03, 2012

Hmm...Try adding a reference for each sentence on that little description. If you can't do it, then, it's fine. 04:22, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

I can add screenshots... Otherwise they're basically all on the same page (the transcript). 06:45, 23, 03, 2012

...You could always repeat references. Hmm, I think I'd leave it up to you on whether it's necessary or not. It would be nice, but it's your decision. And add the authors now that we have coding for it. Also, perhaps add in references for whether things were true or false (you can probably even just go searching around the wiki, though be wary of false citations). 02:12, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Template:Human
I added TestInput to the said template. Now it's like the charcat template, where the fields in which "None" or "Unknown" was entered are not displayed. The pages have adjusted themselves. (Wow. That sounds weird :O)

Kind regards, 20:38, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

That would make sense to me. 22:30, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

8D Thanks, Lightning (You so good at coding... =O)! ^^ I was never too happy with having "Unknown" entered into the fields where we couldn't find information. So, yeah, thanks a lot. ^^ 06:10, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Great job Lightning, it's very annoying when you have unknown entered everywhere, and now with this, it can't show it. <span style="">01:59, 24, 03, 2012

Erin Hunter Chat 7 - Silver Nomination
Okay, after temporarily abandoning it, and then few weeks later deciding to sit my but down on it and work on it, here we go! xD 19:59, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
