== Delete ''Buffy'' Stuff ==
<!-- Message sent by User:JJMC89@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Wikipedia_talk:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/ListOfProjects&oldid=923068486 -->


== Marking as inactive ==
Misplaced Pages contains entirely too much ''Buffy'' stuff. The show was all right, but it's been off the air for years now, and, even when it was still broadcast, it never deserved all the attention it is given in Misplaced Pages. Other hit TV shows do not have anything near the coverage that this show receives. Is Joss Whedon secretly paying off the Misplaced Pages staff or has he hired an army of Wikiwriters to publicize his work? Ninety-five percent of the "articles" concerning ''Buffy'' deserve to be deleted, and, yes, I was (and remain) a fan of the show. ''-- This unsigned comment was left by ] 14:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)''


I think this project should be marked as inactive. Any objections? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]&#124;]</sub> 02:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
::::] is '''not''' an official policy, the term ''Notability'' is often very subjective and it is not mentioned in any of the official policy about deletion. Generally speaking Misplaced Pages '''official policy''' dictates that we only delete things when:


== Turn this WikiProject into a Taskforce? ==
::::::*) Articles break and cannot fix some of these four rules: ], ], ], or the copyright policy (]).


I invite editors to join the ] to convert many inactive WikiProjects into taskforces, including this one. &ndash; ] <sup>]•]</sup> 12:54, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
::::OR


== Closing inactive task forces ==
::::::*) They are very much included with the detailed descriptions of ]. This includes in summary ''not a dictionary, not a publisher of original thought, not a soapbox, not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files, not a free host, blog, webspace provider or social networking site''. The section that is often abused is ''Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information'', which at first sight might seem a useful phrase to delete whatever we don't like. However that section actually offers details to how such a directive should be used, offering eight specific examples: ''Lists of Frequently Asked Questions, Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics, Travel guides, Memorials, News reports, Genealogical entries, or phonebook entries, Directories, directory entries, or a resource for conducting business, Instruction manuals.''


I invite editors to join the ] to close inactive task forces, including this one. ] (]) 12:08, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
::::Some of the Buffyverse articles need deletion or work. E.g. The ']' article has extensive original research (it looks like this article will soon be deleted), the article ']' is at the moment a glorified definition (but could be made into a proper article with work).

::::However the majority of Buffyverse articles generally don't break copyright, are verifiable (often from the episodes themselves), are reasonably non POV, are not based around original research, not dictionary definitions, not political, not advertisements, not lists of links/images/media, not blogs/free hosts/webspace/social networking, not Frequently Asked Questions, not Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics, not Travel guides, not Memorials, not News reports, not Genealogical entries, not phonebook entries, not Directories, not directory entries, not a resource for conducting business, not Instruction manuals.

::::Therefore the vast majority of Buffyverse articles deserve a place on Misplaced Pages as long as they continue to maintain such standards, and wikipedia contributors are willing to continue to write them. People who are concerned that other TV shows do not get enough relative attention, have nothing preventing them writing wikipedian material about those other shows. Misplaced Pages is not an academic encyclopedia limited to academic topics, and it is ] -- ] 16:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:::::I don't think ] is being at all fair - ''Buffy'', ''Angel'' and all the spin-offs are part of one fictional universe which is both treated with the exact same respect and tarred with the same brush as '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'' etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. It goes wothout saying that there are many articles based around the Buffyverse, as it a subject that many are passionate about and enthused by. So long as all the pages are relevant, well-written and interesting, I see no problem whatsoever with the amount of entires this topic inspires. ] 18:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

:Amen to that. Although there are a couple of articles that could be merged (Ben & Glory? Those two Wolfram & Hart dudes mentioned above?), and some which, as Paxomen rightly states, need work, there is no need whatsoever to go on a mass culling spree. ] 15:46, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree that there does NOT need to be a mass culling of Buffyverse info on Misplaced Pages. I only began watching Buffy/Angel within the last few months, and Misplaced Pages has been a great resource for learning about the series, examining relevant issues, and keeping track of episodes and plotlines. Thanks to everyone who has put so much effort into creating such a comprehensive reference system. ] 20:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Tambourineman.

== Wolfram & Hart employees ==

I recently went over the characters list. Wouldn't people like ] and ], characters who really don't deserve their own page, best be served to be merged into a single article? Lindsey, Lilah and Holland are important enough to have their own pages, but these other two were really just as minimally recurrent as Forrest and Graham (from the Initiave). ] 20:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm, maybe. Perhaps it would be wisest to merge these characters into the Wolfram & Hart page itself, as opposed to going to the (relatively strenuous) effort of creating a "Wolfram & Hart employees" page. ] 17:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Could I just ask - how come Gavin Park has materialised on the '''Great Big Buffyverse Box of Death''', when his article itself says that he is "one of the most marginal recurring characters"?

Supportspike.com has just started a to target Fox.

==Can I systematically link to my website?==

I created the Buffyology website. http://buffyology.com/ I was trying to add a link from each episode page here to my episode page, but someone thought I was a bot and deleted all the links. Or nearly all of them.

Can I link to my website from each page? If not, why not? There seems to be a completely random pattern -- some pages have no External Links section, some do, and some sites which have a page for each ep are linked pretty much at random. I think it would be logical to link to some sites like the Buffy Trivia site, http://restlessbtvs.com and the Buffyverse Dialog database too, from every page.

I have transcripts of every episode and a database of all characters, actors, writers and directors.

== New article: ] ==

I created the W&H employees article and merged Gavin Park and Linwood Murrow into it. I also took the tiny summaries from the lawyer list and put them in, but didn't add any new information because it's been ages since I saw any ''Angel'' other than season five. I thought about merging Knox into the article, because I believe that's where he belongs, but his current article is quite indepth -- possibly too indepth -- so I wanted to get a consensus here. His info would be shortened, but Knox, in my opinion, does not merit such a lengthy article. - ]: <sup>]</sup> 12:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

As well, please keep updating your ]|Arts WikiProject article table]] for articles of high quality. If you are interested in developing a ] such as ] for your WikiProject, or having a ] automatically for you, please ]. Please feel free to post your suggestions right here.

== Question on Wikify Tag ==

Someone recently put a wikify tag on the Expanded Overview section of ]. Via talk pages, I asked him why, and he said it was because there were few links and it was just a really long block of unadorned text. I'm not sure what to do about it. I don't think it needs much in the way of links, as the most linkable things are already linked in the summary. So, should there be subheadings, or less plot detail, or what? --] 06:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

===]===

] is up for deletion. Appreciated if people could have a look at the article, then read through the comments at the deletion forum.

I think it could certainly do with some work, but can't see any appropiate reason in ] to delete the article. I believe that the user who nominated the article for deletion (]) is essentially arguing that because the Buffyverse already has many detailed pages, that the article for 'Buffyverse' itself is not needed. However shouldn't that logic mean we don't need a generic ] article since the films and TV series already have their own pages? -- ] 16:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

:::That's true :) -- ] 01:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

== Hero ==

Regarding "Hero" (Angel episode).

Twice -- in the description of the character Allen Francis Doyle, and in the description of the episode Hero -- the same mistake is made. Those descriptions are as follows:

"The two exchanged a passionate kiss; a blue ribbon of electricity passing between them as he gave her his visions, which changed the course of her life considerably." (Wiki, description of Allen Francis Doyle)

"Then he hauls back and hits Angel, knocking him into the cargo hold. Doyle grabs Cordelia and they kiss, a blue light passing between their lips." (Wiki, description of Angel episode "Hero")

If you watch the episode (as I just did again), you will note that the "light between the lips" of Doyle and Cordelia is the brightening lamp being used by the Scourge increasing in luminosity in the background. It's a nice thought, that there would be some visible sign of the transfer of seer abilities, but it would have risked giving the important plot moment away. Check the episode and you will see that there is no outward sign, though the light and camera angle may have intended to be symbolic. This should be changed a.s.a.p.. I did not do so because I am not a regular contributor to the Buffyverse wiki.

-- Freemount, October 15, 2006
:I disagree. The blue light seems like an obvious special effect to me. You can see that scene on youtube (skip to the 2.45 mark).--] 15:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

==Buffyverse Magazines (UK)==

I recently created the article, ], but I'm lacking Buffy mag #44. Does anyone have this issue, and therefore could let me know the interviews/features it includes? I've seen a photograph of the cover on ebay (and therefore know it contains interviews with Emma Caulfield, & Elizabeth Anne Allen, and a set report on "Selfless"), but are there any other interviews/features, and what is reviewed in 'Grave Reviews' section? -- ] 16:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

''Could I just ask - how come Gavin Park has materialised on the '''Great Big Buffyverse Box of Death''', when his article itself says that he is "one of the most marginal recurring characters"? Why do something like this when he might not be around for much longer... if you don't mind me asking. ] 22:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)'' (from ])

::Most recent character additions to box:

::* added Gavin & Caleb.
::*Viper h added Principals Snyder and Wood.
::*John Kenney added Jenny Calendar, Kate Lockley, Forrest, Graham, and Kennedy.

::We could be going down a slippery slope, how long until we are faced with the addition of ]. Perhaps we should set some kind of guidelines for characters that can be on the box (episode count? ..but that sometimes can be misleading e.g. Graham had a high episode count but very little accumlative screentime/lines - and was arguably a glorified extra)

::If I were making the guidelines, I would say:

::::''The people who appeared in the opening credits (Scooby Gang & Fang Gang/FG) appear in the box, and the most important villains/friends who had a significant emotional impact on multiple of those opening credits characters - as long as they have a significant episode count, and preferably if they appear in three or more seasons.''

::That is of course still highly subjective but anyway.. This would immediately discount recurring characters who did not have much of an impact on the SG/FG - such as Gavin, Graham, Forrest. Characters up for debate under such guidelines might include: Adam, Amy, Caleb, Principal Snyder, Principal Wood, Professor Walsh, Eve, Hamilton, Holland, Jasmine, Kate, Kennedy, Warren.

::If I were choosing of these characters up for debate, I would get rid of the Principals, Eve, Hamilton and leave the rest.

::Perhaps after deciding which characters belong on the box, we could have put some invisible text in the box advising wikipedians to not add further characters without discussion).

::What are people's thoughts? -- ] 23:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

:::The box should, I think we'll all agree, involve the most important characters and articles to the Buffyverse and its story. Therefore, adding superfluous characters who only had a marginal prescence/effect can only be detrimental.

:::Paxomen has hit the nail on the head with his theoretical "guidelines" - significance over size. ] 10:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

::::::I removed some characters (Eve, Hamilton, Principals, Graham, Forrest, and Gavin) and put up an invisi message to discuss further changes here (see ).

===Keeping the characters to 2 rows===

At the moment the template:Buffyversenav has only 2 rows for each category (at least on my screen - is that the case for everyone else?). IMO it should stay that way, rather than get bigger going into three rows and making the whole box bigger. IMO if we add another character, we could remove one already there? What are peeps thoughts. -- ] 17:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

==== On the subject of Amy Madison ====

I noticed that Amy is listed in the main character directory as a reccuring character, but not on the bar at the bottom of the page. Is there a reason for this, or is it an oversight? She has her own article, it just takes a while to get there. I reccomend she be added to the people directory, because by standard of comparison she's probably been in more episodes than Eve. If I've overlooked something I appologize in advance, I just had trouble finding her today. -- <small>Unsigned comment from: ] 16:51, 1 August 2006

:Assuming you mean on the ]? -- ] 17:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

::And you would be correct in your assumption. Incorportating previous arguments into my own, I'd say Amy is one of the most influential minor characters in the show. First appearing in season one, Amy helped define what a witch is/can do. Further, she set the precedent of witches abusing power. She was present, be it as her human self or as a rat, for most of the series. I find it easy to infer that Amy helped Willow develop as a character by helping Willow find the worst side of herself. By doing this, she affected every member of the cast. Also, Amy accidentally showed Xander (in the first of many incidents) that magic doesn't always make things easier when she botched a love spell. I understand that the box doesn't need to be cluttered, so if it's an absolutely not situation I get that, but I just kind of think she should be there. She seems as important to the series as Eve or Professor Walsh... But then again, she's not technicly an enemy or one of the main characters, so I'm probably wrong.--] 20:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:Yeah I'd agree Amy probably deserves to go there rather than Eve. I removed Eve and added Amy, so that the character section is still only 2 rows. -- ] 22:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Chronology templates ==

Can someone explain to me the significance of the individual chronology templates being used on Buffy episode pages? For example, ]. I don't see how their inclusion is at all helpful in an encyclopedic way. If anything, it's just confusing and uses up too much space.

:I created them thinking it might be useful for some people using the episode articles, who might want to know where the episode fell in the greater scheme of the stories.. or else used as a navigation tool to get to a nearby episode or other story - say you want to skip ahead three episodes.. or find out what's happening in ''Buffy'' comics at that point in the story.

Just letting people know that the article ']' is undergoing review to be a featured article. It might even be possible to get the article on the front page on March 10th 2007, (10th anniversary of ''Buffy'' - 10 years since "]" was first seen).

Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either '''object''' or '''support''' the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- ] 18:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

== Project Directory ==

Hello. The ] is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing ]. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
*],
*],
*],
*],
*],
*], (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
*], and
*]

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at ], listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory.
The three columns regarding ], ], and ] are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters.
It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. ] 21:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

:Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now moved the new draft in the old ] pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. ] 13:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

== Category rename discussion ==

Just FYI, there's a discussion of the category {{cl|Vampire Slayers}} and the term ] ]. Cheers, ] 19:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

== stubs for deletion ==

This is just to let you know that the following stubs related to ] are being proposed for deletion. I can see that the only official stub you have listed is {{tl|Buffyverse-stub}} and that stub is not in danger. Feel free to voice your opinion on the appropriate ]. ] ] ] 19:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

:The list seems to be missing somehow (probably a copy-paste error). Anyway, the templates and categories Amalas was referring to are:

:* {{tl|Angel-episode-stub}} / {{cl|Angel episode stubs}}
:* {{tl|Buffy-episode-stub}} / {{cl|Buffy episode stubs}}
:* {{tl|Whedon-stub}}

:Please note that stub templates are used on articles less than 10 sentences long. By the definition of some editors, the standard is three sentences in length. Regards. ] <sup>] / ]</sup> 12:04, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

== Buffyverse wiki ==
I've created a new wiki for Buffyverse content at ]. It is not for encyclopedic content and doesn't aim to duplicate Misplaced Pages. Instead, the articles are mostly made up of trivia and quotes sections which can be expanded to include unverifiable material and original research, which wouldn't be allowed on Misplaced Pages. At the moment, the site doesn't have much original content since I basically took a cut down version of 700 Misplaced Pages articles to get it started - usually cutting out the extended episode summaries and most non-trivia sections. See ] for more details. I hope some people from this WikiProject will join the new wiki and help to ensure it develops into a useful resource by and for fans for everything that Misplaced Pages can't provide. We also need some new admins there, so let me know if you'd like to volunteer for that. ]] 15:24, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
