We definitely need to establish some conventions for what information should be included in video entries, and how that information should be formatted.  I've tried to expand the entry on 'The Bet' in a way I think approximates the Strong Bad email listings on the HRwiki.  I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestions you might have.  Oh, and we really need to figure out which videos were released on what dates.

Is it really worth having a template for that section?  Typing out the template entries takes nearly as long as just typing out the words themselves, and the template forces us to have blank entries for things that don't come up in every video.  For example, there weren't any special thanks or music in the "Serious Cravings" video, but the template puts in Music: None and Thanks to: None anyway.[[User:Melendwyr|Melendwyr]] 18:59, 30 September 2006 (CDT)

Agreed. Having the "Music: None" thing is a bit odd. (This is Graham, I don't know how to sign my name)

Conventions

We definitely need to establish some conventions for what information should be included in video entries, and how that information should be formatted. I've tried to expand the entry on 'The Bet' in a way I think approximates the Strong Bad email listings on the HRwiki. I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestions you might have. Oh, and we really need to figure out which videos were released on what dates. Melendwyr 22:32, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

I think we need: Title, Date, Appearing, Writers, Camera, Music, Editing, Thanks (all the stuff that is in the credits) Plot Synopsis, Trivia, Location, Popularity. Lord Chrusher 22:48, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

What about Title, Introduction, Date, Cast, Writing, Camera, Music, Editing, Thanks, Synopsis, Location? Melendwyr 23:10, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

Also, Category. Shorts, Music etc. Graham

Further, people in the template should link to their bio page, if there is one.

Look at what I have done on The Worst Homosexual. The templates are bit tricky to work with Lord Chrusher 23:42, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

I made a slightly different template for comparison purposes (and practice) for The Bet. I don't know enough about formatting to force the normal text away from the info box, though. Thoughts? Melendwyr 08:24, 30 September 2006 (CDT)

Multiple videos on one day

There are a couple of conflicting methods of listing videos which were all released on one day in this list. Which should we use?

{date}: {video}
{date}: {othervideo}

-or-

{date}: {video}; {othervideo}

Or even a mixture of the two, depending on which videos are released that day. --MadAlric 13:17, 17 March 2012 (PDT)
