Template talk:Infobox/video

So is this eventually going to be on all the videos or what? Xentrilus 17:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah, I'm actually working on adding it to all the videos, right now. Here's an example of how it works.--NeoShadow 17:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Dating

ATTENTION: The date format for these infoboxes is now: (two-digit day) (month) (year) It's settled. If you see one that's wrong, don't bitch. Change it plz. Xentrilus 20:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

HAY. Should we bother including the "th" "rd" st" bits after the day? I don't think we should as CWCKi:DATING doesn't include them. Xentrilus 20:22, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah, good point. Gettin' rid of 'em. --NeoShadow 20:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

This is a bit of a problem. The majority of the completed infoboxes use the dating format: MONTH DAY, YEAR. AFAIK this goes against the CWCki standard. Now IMO this wouldn't be that big of an issue, provided EVERY infobox used this format, but the thing is some of the infoboxes use the format DAY MONTH YEAR.

Before we go ANY further, we need to decide which one we should be using. Otherwise it could lead to quite a bit of extremely tedious work.

tl;dr, HALP WHAT DO WE DO. Xentrilus 19:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Oh snap, I didn't think of that... I guess, we should go by the CWCki standart DAY MONTH YEAR, just to play it safe.--NeoShadow 19:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Mmmmmkay. Seems reasonable enough. --Morganna 19:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• OK, BRB, going through all of the videos I did replacing the dates. Lol. Xentrilus 20:08, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

It's p. awesome, good job. --Sonichuis44 19:57, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• lol. Thanks... I guess.--NeoShadow 19:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Video guide

The video guide element makes the succession template added to video pages pretty redundant, if this is now going to used for all videos should the succession template be removed? MaesterTonberry 21:12, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Hmm... yeah, that makes sense... But, that's minimum priority right now. Atm, we should just focus on adding the infoboxes to ALL the videos.--NeoShadow 23:49, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Infobox Types

Well, now that we have This infobox for TRUE CWC videos, and the Fan-Video infobox, I was thinking we'd probably also need Infoboxes for the Audiobooks, the Videobooks, Liquids videos, etc. So, help me list off all the infoboxes that should be made.

• Audiobooks
• Videobooks
• Liquid Chris
• ...?

--NeoShadow 23:49, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Videobooks definitely.
• Is an Audiobook actually embedded in any page in the CWCki? I was under the impression they were all just linked. That one might not be necessary.
• Videos from Liquid, sure. All that would really require is a change of color scheme (brown).

I can't think of any others either, I'm not sure that there are any others. Xentrilus 23:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• Alright... but, why not just embed the Audiobooks, then?--NeoShadow 23:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

• The Audiobooks tend to be linked on the page for their corresponding issue. Embedding like 4 videos in a row on one page is really not worth it when you can just link them instead and take up less space. The GOOD news is, however, that I was somewhat mistaken before - there is one instance of an Audiobook being embedded. So if you do feel like making a spin-off infobox for this one video, no-one's going to stop you :P Xentrilus 00:09, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
