    When you upload a new image of a character, either make a gallery with the old one in it, or (if it's bad) tag the old one for deletion.

    Would you mind chiming in on this discussion on my wall? I think it's important to get someone else who's made a considerable number of edits to episode pages to comment on this issue.

    When making a link, stopping the code for it at the | drops everything before it that doesn't come before a colon or in parenthesis. So if you write [[Oliver Queen (Arrow)|]] you get Oliver Queen. Helps on those Arrow pages so you don't have to write everything twice.

      Well, didn't know that. I've tried it a long time ago but at that point it hadn't worked. Maybe it was just a wikia error. Thanks, LoveWaffle :)

    Wouldn't the distinction between "Featured Character" and "Supporting Character" be the same as between "Series Regular" and "Recurring Character"?

      I his name isn't revealed, it would just be Floyd Lawton (Arrow), since there isn't another notable Deadshot.

      So yes, deal

    Nice work on getting all the episodes created. Its nice to see the Smallville tv series page without a ton of redlinks.

      I think you just need to use your best judgement and even that's a subjective thing. If there's a janitor who walks by and someone says, "Hey Walt," and that's his only appearance in the show, I wouldn't make him a page. If they're important enough you'd write some history for them on their character page, they can probably get a page.

    Since they're only one word, they likely share their name with another concept. Don't forget to add them to the relevant disambiguation page (Spirit, for example). See here (under Other Media) for a way to implement it.

    A couple of things:

    • Can you at least add artist info? This is already available on DC's site
    • Please name textless covers accordingly - "Smallville Season 11 Vol 1 5 Textless.jpg". Smallville Season 11 Vol 1 5.jpg is for the final cover.
    • Comics should be listed by cover date.

    Nicknames / Alias

    Hey Jimmy, I see you made an edit to Tim Drake's Earth-16 page and I want to discuss something with you as I work on the page.

    We've been keeping an extra eye on the Earth-16 pages to keep them on a certain level of workmanship where they're at least skeleton pages that users can then further edit. So trust me when I say that I'm not the only one doing our best to keep them up to date and in order.

    As such I want to bring to your attention our unofficial policy on nicknames, alias and the like. At the moment we're having an open discussion about names for characters like Superboy, one I think you'd be interested. In Tim Drake's case, we all know his name is Tim Drake but of course his full name is Timothy; Tim is just a nickname. Calling Richard Dick isn't an alias it's a nickname. As such nicknames belong in the trivia section or in Tim and Dick's case it belongs at the top of the page in the real name field since they go by them so frequently.

    I'm going to fix up Tim's page once again but I want you to understand that in case this situation arise again if you'd like to debate how these nicknames are handled feel free in a talk page, forum post or simply in the Database Chat where our admins frequent.

      I totally understand it, Midoki24 but I also got a question. On the Carter Hall (New Earth) page, Prince Khufu Kha-Tarr is listed as an Alias but it was his real name. There are many pages where nicknames are listed as aliases.

      Maybe we should add "Nicknames" to the tamplates?

      Btw. sorry for my bad english today. English isn't my native language and I'm not feeling that well today.

      Oh it's totally fine don't worry about it, you're far from the only member here who's English isn't their native language.

      Specifically for Carter Hall, his "real name" is actually Prince Khufu Kha-Tarr however this isn't the current incarnation's real name. We actually should have a page for the Prince and all of Hawkman's other incarnations as well. Carter Hall is the curator and adventurer and that's what Hawkman's real name is.

      I suggested that we add Nicknames to the template a long time ago and I was told then the same thing I'll tell you now and it's that nicknames can both be serious and silly and as such they become more trivia than actual information such as "Battling Bowman" and "Cass" they differ in substance and it's easier for everyone to include well known names as information and nicknames as trivia. Check out Captain Marvel's page for instance.
