The Darkest Hour/Chapter 18 - Silver Nomination
Let's try this again.Potato Flakin (talk) 18:23, December 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * Add a main quote
 * Split the character lists, into two or three columns
 * Remove the Stub marker at the top
 * Highrock, Blackfoot, Mistyfoot, link to redirects in the summary (and for the characters, their redirects are linked in the characters section as well), if you could resolve those
 * All chapter summaries need to be written in present tense, and more especially in the latter part of this, it isn't. If you could tweak that, that'd be great.

Alright, on it!Potato Flakin (talk) 02:47, December 30, 2018 (UTC)

I tried my best. For some reason when I tried to sort the characters the text and Mclist are formatted, and what do you mean by redirects?Potato Flakin (talk) 05:28, December 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirects are when a link doesn't link to the current page, and links to say something like Alderpaw, when the link should go directly to Alderheart, with the text showing as just Alderpaw. For Mistyfoot's link in yours, it should be Mistyfoot, not just Mistyfoot , for example.
 * Please add some context at the start of the first paragraph about what exactly Brackenfur had just reported - the chapter previous ends at a cliff, but those reading this as an article should know off the bat that they're talking about Tawnypaw's disappearance.
 * Please add cites to the character list that state the page number that said characters appeared on, ones like [1] don't cite any proof.
 * You did an excellent job with the past tense, but there's still some left, using Ctrl+F on the word 'was' should be able to catch most of what's left, and also one instance of 'thanked'.

Tried fixing some things. Also the first paragraph wasn't made by me, but I'll try to add context to it. I'll find the past tense as well. I've been struggling with references and Patch has offered to help me with them, I'm just waiting for her to reply with some advice.Potato Flakin (talk) 15:46, December 31, 2018 (UTC)

like so. Look into the code of this and see the space between the "l" and the left margin. In your mentioned, some of the characters from your mclist have a space, which creates the code format.
 * Whitestorm in the first paragraph is used pretty often, try substituting that with something like "the white tom".
 * All of the characters here are mentioned by their name quite a lot. This might just be a pet peeve, but try spicing it up with descriptions and such.
 * Firestar thanks him and telsl him he is a great friend to ThunderClan.
 * The template for citing is . So in this case, the arc would be os, for "The Prophecies Begin" (don't ask), and the book # would be 6, because TDH is the sixth book in the arc. Then just add the page number where they appear and you're good to go.
 * Adding a space after you hit the left margin creates a code-type-format-thing:
 * Whitestorm in the characters section has four brackets on one side for his link, it only needs two to form a link.

Thanks for your help Star! I'll get on it!Potato Flakin (talk) 18:21, December 31, 2018 (UTC)

That's all I'm doing for now, I'll work on the Mclist later. Be advised I don't use Source Editor as it often confuses me with all the coding.Potato Flakin (talk) 18:51, December 31, 2018 (UTC)

I figured Mclist out! It's almost finshed, just gotta put the mentioned characters in a Mclist and add all the missing references.Potato Flakin (talk) 18:21, January 1, 2019 (UTC)

And there we go! Just how do you link the characters in a Mclist? I don't know how to link them.Potato Flakin (talk) 01:40, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

Yeah ngl visual editor is... not compatible with most of our templates. Just went ahead and did it for you because I did try to find a way for it to be done in VE, but all that happened was redlinks, so then switched over to source mode. CBV?

Enter the Clans/Cliffnotes
As this is a compilation book, I'm not sure why this has cliffnotes. I propose that we scrap these - these are exact copies of the respective ones for Secrets of the Clans and Code of the Clans, no reason to have the same exact content duplicated on the wiki, and no work would be lost anyways. Just personally don't think they should exist - we don't normally do cliffnotes for compilations, per redundancy. Thoughts?

I agree it should be pitched... don't see the point in having it if it's a compilation book and it's all already on Code of the Clans/Cliffnotes and Secrets of the Clans/Cliffnotes. It seems unnecessary and redundant. 00:29, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

February FA
hmm so we should probably do The Raging Storm or Tallstar's Revenge since those are the last non-gold books other than guides; thoughts?

Let's feature Tallstar's Revenge first since it was released earlier, then save The Raging Storm for next month.

Tallstar's Revenge will work. 23:22, January 1, 2019 (UTC)

Actually, I propose The Raging Storm first, to get all of the A Vision of Shadow books out of the way. Also, Tallstar's Revenge needs more links, and there are some grammar issues that I should have seen prior to nominating it silver. 09:57, January 2, 2019 (UTC)

Whatever works best. If we feature The Raging Storm first, that'll give TR time to have the errors fixed. 00:29, January 3, 2019 (UTC)

Graystripe's Adventure (book) + Gallery ~ Gold Nomination
basically contentless, just a compilation documenting three gold book articles, so

CBV?

Ravenpaw's Path (book) + Gallery ~ Gold Nomination
same as above^^

CBV?

Chapter subpages in infobox
So I know we have that dropdown for chapter subpages at the bottom of the page; but isn't that kinda hard to find? Gotta scroll all the way down to the bottom; gets annoying. I was kinda thinking we could add something like this to the infobox; move the summary above resources (resources don't show I know, it's because it's in my userspace), and then have the summary above that, then the chapter subpages all listed there. I suppose we could keep the bottom nav too, but meh, either way I think it'd be cool to have them in the infobox. Thoughts?

Yeah! I think it would be a great idea. Besides, sometimes I'm editing near the bottom of the page and I somehow delete the template, but having it in a infobox is a better idea.Potato Flakin (talk) 18:56, January 4, 2019 (UTC)

Talked w/ Icy and just plopped it onto actual pages to get it working. If anyone has any issues with it lmk
