I'm trying to hotlink an image, but I can't get it to work in the sliderbox. Do you have any suggestions or codes that could fix that? It would be really appreciated, thanks!

  Hi again. Having had the time to read through the guide completely to gauge correctness and thoroughness, I have found both to be somewhat lacking, unfortunately. Secondly, I do not see why wiki categorization need to be elaborated on the BSST, as that is more than adequately covered by our extensive categorization policies for both fanon and canon.
  On past BSST help guides, the content was usually on more complex processes regarding topics such as wikitext coding, usage of certain templates, or illumination of useful features of the wiki that were not generally known about. Categorization is not an aspect of the wiki that is widely unknown to most users, nor are there difficulties in finding correct editing guidelines on it.
  To sum up, is there any other topic you could create an informative piece on? Or, just to give you a new idea to which you might be more partial, may I suggest that you could give an opinion/speculative piece on the Air Nomads? That would also be acceptable.

  It's not my job to tell BSST contributors exactly what they should write - if you have an idea to write about something, you write about it and submit it to see if it will be featured on the newsletter. If you don't currently have an idea, then you have no need to write about anything until you either find one, or one comes to you.
  Yes, the comic articles are one of the areas in which you're writing up sections, is it not?

Bot?

Lady Lostris

Is there any way that this can be made easier by a bot transition or should it all be done manually?
Wouldn't it be possibly to run a program changing every " in "[[episode name]]". " to just " .[relevant reference] "? If so, that would be awesome if you could run such a program as it would take care of the biggest part of the change.

  I wish there was, but no. Mostly because those references are most likely already on the page, so the old one should be changed to <ref name=whatever>{{Cite episode|whatever|whatever}}</ref> and the first occurrence of that reference to <ref name=whatever /><nowiki>.

  Is that really necessary? Cause if we would leave that be, then would be possible to just change it to <ref name=whatever /> for the quote, right? All ref names should have the same name -and an abbreviation list was made, so that can easily be checked.
  The only downside would indeed be that there is then a possibility that the reference number in the quote would not read "1", but wouldn't the easy change via bot, the time that is saved by that, outweigh to very minor downside of that number not being entirely chronologically correct? I mean, I get why it would preferably be done otherwise, but the easy change just seems so much more beneficial than chronology at the moment ^^.

  ~~Not necessarily, as that would depend on the number the reference is used on the page for the first time.~~
  Never mind, it would indeed always turn up as 1, which solves the problem, imo. Cause sure, then the the chronology on page wouldn't entirely be correct, but on the other hand, I believe in this case the easiness of the change far outweighs the "benefit" of "first instance = full reference" habit, but that's perhaps just me.

  The other "issue" we might get is when two refs are together, normal format is to place the lower numbered ref first (ie. [1][25] not [25][1]), but this change will mess up some of the ordering.
  That said, I think both those issues are something that could be cleaned up over time, rather than worrying about them now, and I agree that the ease of using a bot to make the changes far outweighs any small aesthetic issues.

  I was under the impression the consensus was to include the descriptor as noted in the original proposal. This is consistent with quotes on the episode pages themselves, which include a small sentence rather than "Katara to Aang" for example.

  If chronology is not an issue per the source mode policy, then great. But still, when making a script like this, we need to account for all possibilities, i.e., assume that there is a quote from every single episode. That is, we'd need to make a rule for every single one of them:
  
  Replace "in [[The Boy in the Iceberg]]" with <ref name=BI />;
  Replace "in [[The Avatar Returns]]" with <ref name=AR />;
  
  And so on and so forth for 73 episodes, one by one. And even if that wasn't a tedious and time consuming chore, are those ref names overall accurate? I've stumbled upon different names for the same episodes on different articles.

  In general, all the ref names should be the same, as they have been systematically made consistent over time in line of this list.
  I know that it would be a tedious job to write such a script, but wouldn't that be the same for when it is left to change manually? There are over 500 pages using quote boxes which need to be changed. If the largest chunk of that change could be taken care of by bot, then the few mistakes that will undoubtedly occur will be taken out manually -which I believe, if we were to do it like that, would still be less time consuming than doing it all manual to start with.
  (A minor note though, it would be changing "in [[The Boy in the Iceberg]]." with .<ref name=BI />)
  I know I have easy talking since I wouldn't be making the bot scripts, but based on the scale of the task, I do think this would be the easiest and most convenient way to go around. Though if you don't think so, then my solution to do it manually would be to enter it all into AWB and then change it from there.

  I was under the impression that we would just replace them by the reference without more explanation, based on the idea of "if the main quote needs more explanation to make sense, then the main quote isn't good enough". It also makes little sense to me to change the way the majority of the quotes is presented with the lesser used blockquotes, than to just remove the extra info from the blockquotes to be in line with the main quotes -if we absolutely want them to be the same, cause I don't see why they could not remain as they have always been thus far.

  It didn't take me long to find inconsistent names: in Architecture in the World of Avatar, episode 101 is tagged as "TBI" and in Airbending, episode 102 is tagged as "TAR".

  Umm, actually that's what I meant when talked about "script" and assume it was that you were referring to. ^^

  Yeah, after all, the point of this change is to leave things as if no change has been made: before there were labels, now they should be in-universe refs. If those contextual descriptions weren't deemed necessary before, then that doesn't change now.

  I must have missed that discussion, since I wasn't aware that had been decided.
  That said, I don't see what issue there is in adding a couple of extra words to the sentence so that it reads better. What I was thinking when I included that originally was something along the lines of the descriptors used on episode page quotes (like here for example), or the captions added onto images. A few extra words, that adds some information to the quote that otherwise wouldn't be obvious. The quote for Appa is a good example here, since the quote and episode don't make it obvious the quote is from Aang and Appa's very first meeting, but the descriptor can clarify this. In my mind, such additions make the quote better, not worse.

  Hello. Lots of conversation on my wall - unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I would like to contribute meaningfully to it. As has been stated, there is no quick way to address this problem in an automated fashion.
  However, I have one other solution. I am prepared to lend KMB temporarily for whatever duration of time that is required to our most esteemed content editor, Lady Lostris, and if she willing to do so, she can carry out all the desired and planned changes herself by AWB - without incurring a flood of edits, and thus, complaints. I believe that this is an acceptable resolution?

  It doesn't really speak or pertain to an issue/event on the series or the wiki in general - it reads more like an autobiography, which does not have much relevance in respect to these two things. So, if you can change it up and write something on either of the two above, I can include it on the next edition.

  The fanon topic is too narrow in scope, isn't very relevant, and it's very tangential, tbh. As a note, it's not my job to majorly edit the contributions of others - the final draft handed to me should be pretty much the main product.

The actual writer of the article generally isn't considered a newsletter topic. And if it's fanon article, this definitely applies to the WLS.
  For both newsletters, contributions also refer really to a submission of your own ideas and work, so generally speaking the staff wouldn't be the ones deciding for you what to include. Just some things I'd encourage you to consider for later :)

  Minnichi, you should ask Kettle for what I wrote and you decide whatever it goes to the next issue or not.

  As a deputy editor, I still respectfully leave decisions to KMP, who's chief editor. While I do tend to regulate fanon-related contributions to the newsletter, however, as usual I don't have any issues with his judgment. I did see your contribution, and it focuses solely on you. Fanon articles can be self-advertisements, but the article should really be focused on fanon (literally, either the story or writing itself), and not so much the author. Otherwise it's a topic about just you, which isn't suitable for a public newsletter. Sorry about that, but hopefully this made any sense ^^"

  A paragraph isn't really a sufficient length for an article...sorry. Also, there's nothing anywhere that mentions anything about a fanon's story, or about writing - and on that note, I say "writing" as in an actual literary content, not a stated fact that someone happens to write.
  UA, I advise you not to seek to contribute an article for the sole purpose of contributing. It's not to be seen as something to praise your own name, and the true *contribution* should be to the community. Please consider this in the future, put thorough effort into it, and take the time to at least lengthen it past 8 sentences. Sorry again.

  Sole purpose of contributing? I really wanted my article to be published, nothing else. If you got it the wrong way, sorry.
  So you say that something that achknoledge the community? What if I write about my fanon? Why I wrote, where I got the idea etc... ?

  That's pretty much the same thing - you want to publish, but mainly for the publishing and self-advertising aspect. Not for what we generally prefer, which is the 'desire to help the community' aspect.
  How about you think of it this way: Can you write one that you think will actually help someone besides yourself?

  Like some tips for starters? since this is my first fanon, tips would be useful, imo.
  And, I never intended to self-advertise myself, sorry if it gone that way.

  Anything that you feel would help a writer is game - which could mean a lot of things, so it usually shouldn't be too difficult to think of a topic. The writing and 'brainstorming ideas' is entirely independent and is your responsibility, so you should really only be consulting the staff once it's done.
  For now, just have the article finished first - with thorough effort - and show staff when you feel it's at its best.

  Great. Since Minnichi is the fanon expert for the newsletter, the advice she has given is definitely invaluable - so it's good if you can take it to heart. Anyway, I think this little tangent is finished, and I believe all of us have other better things to do than to sit around and talk about the newsletter. So, both of you, shoo ^^

  An associate is someone who agrees to sniff out news for the BSST, and either present it on the newsletter or create a blog in-between editions. It is a program which was established to promote news sharing and get an active scour of the latest out on the net. Though it's quite small and specialized at this point - all of the users we have on there are regulars when it comes to the many social networking sites.

Coding fix

Krazykid51

Hi KMP. An issue has popped up concerning the cite comic template. The coding automatically makes the title of whatever is being referenced italicized, but for short comics like the recently released "Rebound" as well as things like "Sokka the Avatar" and "Bee Calm", quotes are required per common grammar rules. Any chance you could change the template so that, by putting italics around the title of the source being referenced, the story is unitalicized? That way, one could simply put quotes around the title in the ref and have it turn out formatted properly. LL had the idea about putting italics around the title to fix the problem, but that or anything else that makes the title allowed to be unitalicized would work fine. Thanks!

  I assume you mean the output of "title" on the template? If so, I have added the "short" parameter. When filled in as "| short = yes", it will remove the italics from the title of the reference.

  Thanks for talking with me. About your timetable, you'll do very well as an associate, considering that it fits perfectly with how you roll on the wiki ^^
  Like I said, if over the Summer is fine for you and we are down a DE, you'll definitely be my first choice - we'll probably get you on as an honorary editor, so make sure to tell me when you have huge amounts of free-time and nothing to fill it up with :p

Deputy Editor? Maybe? Yes? No? Possibly? Probably? Definitely not? You-should-never-have-asked-HELL-NO?

Chakrasandwich

I don't know how formal I should make this, but I'll make it formal just in case, in letter form and all that shmancy jazz
Dear KettleMeetPot,
I, Chakrasandwich, do humbly ask if I may be considered for the position of deputy editor after seeing the topic on the Internet Relay Chat. If you sir, would kindly process my request, I would be most humbled and...
yea that doesn't work for me XD
I think you get the gist though ^_^
Sincerely,

  Hey Chakras! Sorry for the delay in replying to this - just been way too busy recently. Minnichi and I are currently discussing who should replace Taikai, since there are a few other people interested, and we haven't come up with a decision as of yet - though your input to her was definitely helpful. You'll probably have an answer by Wednesday at the least.
  EDIT: Or maybe even sooner. I suggest you get around to talking to Minnichi in your spare time - she'll get you up to speed.

  Haha... No problem! It was a join decision between minnichi and I anyway, and she had the utmost confidence in your abilities - as do I. You'll be a great addition to the team, I have no doubt of that. As for your duties to the newsletter, Minnichi will probably hand you some of the tasks that was originally her responsibility in Taikai's absence - including tracking down new articles for us and the like. I suggest you contact her sometime in the future and she'll give you the probable timetable for the next release.

FAS

AcerEvan

Hey KMP. As you see in the Fanon Portal lately, the FAS header is just outdated and there was one fanon that didn't advertised yet. Sorry, but can you tell me how to manage the header so the fanon title, image, summary, etc could be updated fortnightly? Maybe some of Fanonbenders know how to change the header, but I don't. Thanks for the help, anyway.
