Cross-posting notes from main page, as they should be removed later. Note: Video ID is the number in the video's page address.
Ideally, there'd be a link to the video page on the appropriate hosting site (or the appropriate LRR page) if it's available there.
I'm going to try and put everything up here in order of airdate until I can find sortable table markup. --MadAlric 17:08, 22 February 2012 (PST)




newline markup:

|-
| [[Video Title]]
| style="background: red; color: white" | Series/Category
| Video ID (found in the URL on LRR's site), linked to appropriate page on LRR's site http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/%ID%
| Original Airdate (formatted YYYY-MM-DD)
| Discussion Thread links [LRR]<br>[Escapist]<br>[Other]
| Quicktime "no" or [link to appropriate page]
| Download "no" or [link to appropriate page]
| Blip.tv "no" or [link to appropriate page]
| Youtube "no" or [link to appropriate page]
| Escapist "no" or [link to appropriate page]
| PATV "no" or [link to appropriate page]
| DVD no, DVD title only if unavailable, or [link to DVD item page on store.loadingreadyrun.com]


Aren't video page and video id the same thing basically? Couldn't the video id link to the video page? Lord Chrusher 02:37, 23 February 2012 (PST)

I had thought about that. I'll probably go through and make the change later. Thanks! --MadAlric 22:23, 28 February 2012 (PST) There we go. I went through and changed the Video ID to be a link to the appropriate video page. --MadAlric 22:33, 28 February 2012 (PST)

Removed revver column, as there is no reliable way to get revver links, as far as I can tell. Should I note on the page which videos are on loadingreadyrun.com as locally-hosted quicktime files, but are available elsewhere? --MadAlric 19:10, 3 March 2012 (PST)

I'm considering building some templates for use on this page. Specifically Template:Video_availability_TableHeader and Template:Video_availability_TableRow, as to allow faster editing of this page. Does anyone know if "If" statements are working? Can I make a template as a sub-page? --MadAlric 13:10, 7 March 2012 (PST)

*Grumbles* the sortable wikitable code is producing unpredictable results. Different tables are sorting out in different ways (sort the video page column), even though all of the data is structured the same way. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? --MadAlric 03:24, 10 March 2012 (PST)

This pageIndicates that there are LRR videos on Break.com. Should I try and seek them out, or are they gone now? (The link is dead) Edit: Just found the correct link for the Break.com profile. --MadAlric 17:43, 14 March 2012 (PDT)


This page is actually going to be an invaluable resource for me, as I make sure everything gets moved over to Blip and YouTube. Thank you SO MUCH for this. --Graham
