Involvement of editors

The proposed change would have a significant impact on the overall look of our wiki. For that reason, it would be really good if a discussion could take place before any vote.

This would give the colleague who put the proposal forward the chance to properly justify the proposal and explain why he feels the current page is outdated and contains unnecessary content. What counts as “outdated” or “unnecessary” is highly subjective and very much in the eye of the beholder.

Could I therefore ask the admins and/or mods to make sure that editors are given the opportunity to share their views on this proposal? This would also allow them to put forward alternative ideas or counter-proposals, which should be considered before any final vote.

Thanks

No worries.

It was locked by an administrator bc an editor created it this morning.

This is considered as spoiler.

As an editor who has been working on the list of appearances for some time, I can clarify this issue.

This is the agreed/approved format.

The reason why it looks different in Okie's list of appearances is simple: it is generated by a parser that always provides the full reference.

Once he left the show, I will adjust the references.

May I bring it everyone's attention that it's NOT a long-established norm considering the history of EastEnders. Furthermore, it's an information that can be useful for new users.

Their needs and interests are still not enough addressed.

So I'd recmmend to keep this note as it does not cause any harm to keep it.

Hi, I and Robbie are currently on the actors pages. So there is no urgent need for creating these pages at the minute as we are still in the middle of sorting them. We'll take care of the guest characters in your absence.

Enjoy your holiday!!!

I do see your point. i couldn't agree more tho Im not currently involved in biographies. This rule as well its intention does fail its purposes here and should be revised. In general the headers should be more consistent with a character's duration.

A decision was made on this matter last year and the year before by administrators and editors, so there is no need for discussion.

I believe that it would be in the interest of all editors that their efforts on the wiki be appreciated in such a way that their accepted proposals are implemented and not repeatedly called into question in the following years.

I' ve already started to work through the list a few weeks ago, unfortunately I had to take a break for technical reasons. For reasons of consistency, all the figures listed there should be given a page. The research, if necessary, should not mean too much effort.

Personally, this practice would suit me more. However, I would like to point out that this section is occasionally deleted by administrators. (Recently with Ben Mitchell). There seems to be a need for clarification on this.

It's sorted.
