Wiki Clean-Up
I feel like this wiki's broken right now. New users come in, mess up pages, add in non-BG images...
Can anyone fix this?
Hey everyone! I finished up a bunch of reference pages to make things a little easier for editing around here:
- Character Article Reference
- Episode Article Reference
- Song Article Reference
- Book Page Reference
- Clothing Page Reference
- Game Page Reference
- Toy Reference Page
- DVD Reference Page
- Home & Decor Reference Page
- Accessories & Misc Page Reference
To use them, choose the reference page you want, copy the information through it's Source Mode tab, paste it in the new page's Source Mode, fill in the areas by following the instructions and then delete the instructions before you click on Publish.
The Development Tab is out for now, I still have to figure out the format. Here are some decisions that still need to be made about the Character and Episode Articles:
- Should adventure segment characters be included under Characters Appearing?
- Should we continue Songs and Areas? If so, where should we put them? Towards the top or the very bottom?
(I probably said this somewhere in the clean-up area, but I was thinking of having the shop, lunch joke and adventure segments on one page dedicated to those segments as a grid of some sort instead of separate pages for each.)
There will eventually be reference pages for cast members, crew members and companies.
Please tell me what you think of these! And I hope you find them helpful!
Hey, hey, everybody! After announcing the Community Section four month ago, it's finally coming together! While not every page related to the section are complete, all the main pages are up now. Take a look!
What do you guys think so far? What else can be done to this area of the website? Feel free to leave suggestions in this thread. And also feel free to contribute to the areas that are working. I was doing a lot of copy and pasting so if I messed up on some things, tell me in this thread so I can fix it or if you are able to edit the page, you make fix it.
Here are the other two threads:
Fan opinions are making some character pages poor quality. It is all based on fan opinion - something Wikia has reserved for "fanon wikis" and has named the top reason for a wiki's decline in quality. Help out by cleaning up fan opinion pages!
Ok, here are some decisions that need to be made. These polls are only for helping to make the final decisions. Some options may not become final despite the amount of votes it receives. I'll let this go on for about a week or two. Please vote when you have the time! It won't take long! x)
(To find out more about the Community Section and to submit ideas, please go to this thread)
Which of the categories should be included in the awards?
Hey everyone, I been doing some thinking for a while…ever since I came up with the Wiki Clean-Up plans, I noticed that the fandom doesn't seem very united. It seems like the fans are doing their own thing for the most part; I don’t see a lot of fans doing things with others….maybe it’s just me. Or maybe that’s just what happens when you like a show out of your age range...>_>
It seems to be a lot more casual fans that ones who like it so much that they’re willing to join a website about it… I’m wondering how many fans even know this place exists...
Anyway, as expected, the hiatus caused a drop in activity. It’s good that more members are joining the chat now but the Wiki as a whole has been moving pretty slowly.
I believe we need an area on the website to encourage unity, something for us to do in between big airing gaps and future hiatuses. An area for the community could help make things more fun around here. We already have our profiles and the forums to share things such as our thoughts and artwork, but we need more designated areas to do fanon related stuff among the informal things.
I know there’s a Fanon Wiki for this show, but hardly anyone does anything on it anymore. Plus, there aren’t any staff members managing the content over there. I think it would be better to have an a Community Section on our website instead of creating another Wiki dedicated to it; to keep everything together and it will makes it easier to manage.
TL;DR (How dare you): I’m tired of this Wiki being less active, I want us to have a Community Section to give us something to do.
Here are some things we could include in this section:
o Contests (There wouldn’t be any prizes like a DVD or something, maybe a custom badge, a request, getting featured on the homepage, something along the lines of that.)
o How to draw tutorials (I’ve been wanting to do these for a while, so I might do most of them. Others can join me in this if they want.)
o Crafts
o Pre-made avatars, signatures and Wallpapers
o Maybe an area to put reaction images and memes
o Recipes
o Printable/Print-Outs
o Games (Like things to do when the chat is dying or spotting out certain items while watching the episodes.)
o Art jams (Basically giant collaborations. We could assign each member to do a piece of a drawing and tie everyone’s contribution together as a single drawing. Another thing we could do is give a topic for members to draw and create a gallery with all of the separate drawings. We could probably do something for the writers out their too.)
o Quizzes (One of the members here made a “Which Character Are You?” quiz. [You know who you are!] Maybe we can come up with more that reflect it… like some sort of census.)
o Awards thing (We could have a bunch of polls towards the end of the year or month asking members what was the best thing to come out of that time period was. Like for the show: Best Pop Song, Best Episode, Best Moment, etc. For the Wiki: Best Theme, Best Post, Best Blog, etc.)
o Guestbook (For non-members and Wiki users from other places to let us know how we’re doing or just stop by to leave a complement.)
This thread is purely for generating ideas towards this section. After we come up with enough ideas, we can move on to decisions and setting up rules. Some things may not get included but it’s good to have a variety in case, right? We can first make pages for all the activities Nick Jr. has to offer; make a description, provide trivia if needed and link to the activity rather than reporting it. Eventually, we can allow fans to create their own things thought their blogs. Maybe some of the fan activities can build off of the Nick Jr. ones! Giving them their own twist! And we can share our results in the comment sections!
So, what do you guys think? What other things can we do for this section? What else can we do to make this place a bit more fun? Pleeeeeease help me with this! I want this Community Section to become a reality. I want us all to have a say in this instead of me just making the decisions. Who’s with me?
Hey everyone! It's August! And school is right around the corner! I've been thinking about making a background and favicon to match the "back to school" theme, but I haven't come up with a solid idea...I know I want to use a lot of the screenshots for Get Ready For School! for obvious reasons, but I don't know how I want to format everything.
I did think about maybe having most of the background as a cork bulletin board and have the pictures pinned to it. An alternitive I have in mind is a magnetic board with the pictures attactched by magnets. I also want the favicon to be a bus. x3
What ideas do you guys have? Please help me out with this!
(If you have any ideas not having to with the theme, please post them here.)
Hello, everyone! :)
In honor of the first day of summer, I've decided to give the Wiki a more summer-y look. I hope you guys like it! :D
I have some more looks planned for the Wiki, but do you guys have any suggestions for future looks?
Post 'em here in this format:
Theme:
Background:
Slider:
Favicon:
Additional Details:
Be sure to include links to pictures that can be used to create the look!
EDIT: I've created the templates now!
DVDs

I don’t think these pages need any tabs, it’ll be better to just keep everything on one page. I also think it’s better for the infobox to have Studio pictures/promotional pictures. Please avoid eBay pictures and the like. If the promotional picture is hard to find, tell me the name of the item and I’ll search for it myself. If I can’t find it, you can add yours if it’s of good quality.
As for the rest of the page,
o The top of the page should include a brief description describing what it is. Please type the description yourself, no copypasta from elsewhere. You can use previously made descriptions for reference.
o The product’s features
o Prototypes and variations
o A trivia section with interesting things to say about the item like errors that the product may have or if it’s based on something.
o A section that has a list of websites or locations where they can be bought. Provide links to sellers like Wal*Mart and Toys ‘R’ Us and if the item has a page on that website, directly link to that. Please, no eBay links, official sellers only. The items on eBay are there for a limited amount of time.
I've updated the Bubble Guppies: Sunny Days! page for members to use for reference.
So, what do you guys think? What should I change? What should I add?
I was looking at the favicon for the Wiki (the little picture that shows up at the top of your broswer when you go to a website) and I was wondering if the emote I made for Molly would make a good one. I modified and re-uploaded the emote and I think it looks better than having an extreme close up on Molly's face.
What do you guys think? Do you like it? Should the favicon be something else?
It's just...there. Most of the Wiki's that were supposed to be made, were never made and the ones that were made are pretty much abandoned. What do you guys suggest we do with it? 'Cause I don't think we should keep it the way it is...
The moment (I hope) you've all been waiting for...volunteering!
Whoever applies for Character Info Writer & Reviser must be good at spotting out grammatical errors, typos and can develop well-written paragraphs that are interesting and easy to understand.
Whoever applies for tab Organizer & Reviser must also be good at spotting out grammatical errors, typos, and knows how to mange files well.
If you feel that you would be able to take on one of these roles, ask for the role you want and the character article you would like to work on. Once your name is added to the position, you can get started.
If you are finished with an article and a position is still opened, you may re-apply.
If you have another member working with you, decide between the two of you who will start editing first. If you both work at the same time, your edits may not save properly. Once the first member is done, they must let the second member know.
Something might go wrong while you’re editing an article. Make sure you have a copy of your edits saved somewhere to your computer.
The rest of the active admins and I will supervise your work. Please let us know when you are done with an article. (We may also take on other roles if they're not chosen.)
Remember to follow the instructions on this page: http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:61930
If you’re unsure if something is true or not, post it in the thread for things that need verification:http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:61931
If there are characters that don’t have enough content on their articles or if there’s a character that doesn’t have an article at all and you aren’t able to create one for them at the moment, post the names here: http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:61932

In the past few days, Wiki Nonny and I have been working on the homepage. I want to know what you all think of it so far. Do you like it? What other things should we add? What should be taken away?
While the character picture on the slider is nice, I think it should be replaced. poor Nonny is getting blocked out and I think that picture is from the other BGs Wiki...correct me if I'm wrong. What would be a good replacement?
The "All Characters" part of the character grid links to a deleted page. I'm trying to figure out how to fix this. If anyone has any suggestions on that, please tell me.
A lot of people, whether they're on the Wiki or not, have been voting for TPATR to be the featured article for May, but it's missing a summary; a very important element in the articles. (I've been calling them pages.. x_x) Especially when being considered as a featured article. I don't think it should win the polls without one. Does anyone here want to type up a good summary for the episode? Does anyone have a suggestion for a finished article that could take its place?
The "Did You Know?" section probably won't stay there. I might hold off on it and bring it back later on in the Clean-up process.
I'm thinking about putting a listings table up for next week. I might include episode airings in Canada and the UK too. I might also include a list of what full episodes are available on Nick Jr.'s website during the time...
So...what do you guys think? Please let us know!
This thread is for listing characters who are missing pages or have little to no content on them. add the "[[]]" around the characters's name and state whether they're missing or don't have enough things on their page. I'll add 'em to this post.

Ok...I've updated the list for character pages. I used the feedback I've been given so far and I restated some things so no one will have to look back at the general plans. It is necessary for you to read these instructions if you plan on working on these articles:
Things To Change Or Add
General Stuff:
• We need to make sure the basic format for character articles are kept. Like having the same blue bar and blue text for headings that say things like “Skills” and “Looks”. Here's the page for templates:http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Templates
• Add any categories needed, delete any unneeded ones.
• Put all information on trivia, appearances and galleries in the tab pages at the top. Whatever isn’t already there, add it.
• Correct any spelling or grammar errors.
• Fix any areas that seem too choppy and give them a better flow
• If you can, fill in any areas with a “TBA”
• When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song title. I thought this would be easier to identify which things are which.
• Check closed captions or books on episodes to find out character names that haven’t been stated.
• Remove “Like the other minor characters, she/he loves the Bubble Guppies.” statements. A lot (or some, IDK) of the characters that have these in their descriptions don’t seem to have a very strong connection with the Guppies.
• Remove the gallery links at the bottom, we already have tab for that
• List outside sources. And if the characters have something like “a bare seen blue star birthmark on the back of her tail.”, there should be a screenshot confirming this or at least mentioning a scene where we can see this.
• Update the character template at the bottom if it isn’t. I think we should add additional templates for the different species the minor characters usually come in.
• If you’re unsure if something is true or not, post it in the thread for things that need verification:http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:61931
• If there are characters that don’t have enough content in their articles or if there’s a character that doesn’t have an article at all and you aren’t able to create one for them at the moment, post the names here: http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:61932
Character Info
Before the contents:
• For the main characters, add or change quotes at the top of the page if there are any. Only if they look like they need to be. Choose quotes that reflect the character’s personality well like a catch phrase.
• Check to see if the descriptions are taken from Nick Jr.’s website. If they are, give this part a heading saying “(Character Name)’s Official Nick Jr, Bio ” and provide a link to the page as a source. Move the rest to “Depiction in the series” after the contents and tweak it if you have to.
Info Box:
• Add dislikes if they’re missing. I going to figure out if there’s any way the order of the things in the profile box can be fixed. Dislikes should be closer to likes.
• Remove the birthdates and replace them with preschool-aged or adult depending on who it is. Until we find an official source to back them up, they shouldn’t be there.
• Remove any voice actors that have nothing to do with the show. If you’re not sure if a certain person performed a character, don’t just guess; do a search of that person’s name with the show, look at the credits, use context clues! (If the main cast reprised their roles, and there was a new character that spoke, whatever name is left is more than likely to be that character’s voice.)
After the contents:
Mush these sections together with what’s left of the top description in a unified manner:
§ Personality
- Social Life
- Emotions
- Kindness
- Emotions around others
- Reactions
- Sports
Looks:
• Delete the color lists, they’re not very accurate…
Skills:
•Make sure they’re accurate and worth taking note of.
Appearances:
•Only make note of these if that character played a major role in the episode’s plot.
Relationships:
• Update the relationships, add any if missing
Tabs:
Songs:
•I think it’s better to only mention songs where the characters have a section to themselves or are the ones leading the song. It’s a bit hard to determine who is really singing backup…I noticed that in most songs, whoever is leading is singing backup as well, but the characters lip sync to their voices. 0_o
Trivia:
• Trivia that doesn’t sound very significant should be removed. It’s more interesting to know Molly’s favorite color is blue rather than stating that she has four fingers like the rest of her friends and other cartoon characters.
• Throw Facebook poll stuff in this tab
Gallery:
• Any gallery that isn’t in gallery form should be converted into a gallery and should be placed in that tab.
• Remove separate galleries for songs, Make a gallery for each Season instead and make them sections on the page. Delete file duplicates and hardly distinguishable pictures.
• We should get rid of or move any fanart in the character galleries. We should ask the poster of the fanart first if they can move it to their user page, the Fannon Wiki, or the thread OonaxNonners made.http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:59962 (If they’re on here, I mean. If they haven’t been active at all or lately, we can deal with it ourselves.) For Admins, we can also move that content to the user's page if they have an account.
• Add new pictures to ongoing galleries and find pictures for characters that need them. Better to choose pictures that mainly have the focus of that character, not if they’re just a small part of a huge crowd or where it’s really hard to see them.
Development:
• I’ll try to work on this for all the characters, don’t worry about this part. Delete what is currently there in this part of the article.
Alternate Egos:
• Have a list of important alter egos that character has played, create articles for them, and link to them through the list. You don’t have to make them at that very moment, but at least have them ready to be edited by having the basic stuff (infobox, picture ). Whatever you don’t do, add “TBA” and the“Needs Work” template.
Comments:
• I forgot that regular members can’t delete comments. Me and the other active admins will work on that.
If you have a question about the instructions, feel free to ask.
♪We got a job to do,
A pretty big one too.
We will need help; it’s true,
From a mem-ber or two!''♫
AHEM.
Hello my fellow members.
Over the past months, we have made some nice improvements to Bubble Guppies Wiki. We now have a better logo, a better background and we’ve been keeping up with the newer episodes. While we do have a good amount of information to provide on our website, we still have a lot to improve on.
Since I’ve been here, I have seen posts by users pointing out that this Wiki needs some cleaning up. It’s true; it does. Consistency is a big issue we have on this wiki. There are also other things such as statements that aren’t true, grammatical errors, typos, unorganized pages, updates that need to be made, characters that still need pages and crew members that are not listed.
To help up improve the Wiki, I’ve created a To–Do list combining the ideas me and Callia12 came up with; full of suggestions, necessities, and decisions.
(It’s pretty lengthy, but please read it when you get the chance.)
Homepage
Things To Change Or Add:
· We should try to find a way to fix the format of the things on this page. It’s designed to be centered, but thanks to that stupid advertisement box jacking up the flow of things, the top part looks really off….I tried fixing it but it looked worse. x_x
Decisions To Make:
· Should we add a disclaimer somewhere letting people know that we aren’t affiliated with Nick in any way and we’re just fans? It’s probably kind of obvious, but should we?
· Should we add the listings for the episodes that will be aired every week? Then link to TV guide, Zap2it, or whatever if visitors want to see more?
· Should we get rid of the character grid and replace it with something else? If so, with what?
· Should we continue to link to other BGs Wikis?
Navigation Bar
Things To Change Or Add:
· We should add a merchandise tab to show parents and other older fans what type of BGs items are out there.
o Books, DVDs, clothing, toys, games, etc.
o Include their features, possible prototypes and variations, where they can be bought
o Gonna say this now: we are NOT making a page about underwear. ಠ_ಠ
Decisions To Make:
· Should we add a “Community” or “Fun” tab on the Navigation bar? A lot of members are becoming inactive on here. What can we do to make this place a bit more fun? Contests? How to draw tutorials? Crafts? Theories? Pre-made Avatars and Wallpapers? Maybe we could throw “Couples” under there too? It’s more fan speculation at this point than anything else.
· Should we have an “About” tab or page somewhere linking straight to what the show and the wiki’s purpose? Maybe a bit of history? Maybe that’s where the disclaimer could go? A mission statement maybe?
Character Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· We need to make sure the basic format for character pages are kept. Like having the same blue bar and blue text for headings that say things like “Skills” and “Looks”.
· Add any categories needed, delete any unneeded ones.
· Put all information on trivia, appearances and galleries in the tab pages at the top. Whatever isn’t already there, add it.
· Trivia that doesn’t sound very significant should be removed. It’s more interesting to know Molly’s favorite color is blue rather than stating that she has four fingers like the rest of her friends and other cartoon characters.
· Anything that looks wrong or farfetched, kill it with fire.
· Correct any spelling or grammar errors.
· Fix any areas that seem too choppy and give them a better flow
· Change the bios if they’re taken from elsewhere (like Nick Jr.’s website) or at least state where they’re from providing a link.
· When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song title. I thought this would be easier to identify which things are which.
· Check closed captions or books on episodes to find out character names that haven’t been stated.
· I don’t get the “Like the other minor characters, she/he loves the Bubble Guppies.” statements. A lot (or some, IDK) of the characters that have these in their descriptions don’t seem to have a very strong connection with the Guppies. I’m sure they don’t mind the class’ company, but I don’t think they absolutely adore them… If any of you guys are the ones who started this, can you explain what this is all about?
· We should get rid of or move any fanart in the character galleries. We should ask the poster of the fanart first if they can move it to their user page, the Fannon Wiki, or the thread OonaxNonners made. http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:59962 (If they’re on here, I mean. If they haven’t been active at all or lately, we can deal with it ourselves.)
· Any gallery that isn’t in gallery form, should be converted into a gallery.
· Add new pictures to ongoing galleries and find pictures for characters that need them. Better to choose pictures that mainly have the focus of that character, not if they’re just a small part of a huge crowd or where it’s really hard to see them.
· Remove any voice actors that have nothing to do with the show. If you’re not sure if a certain person performed a character, don’t just guess; do a search of that person’s name with the show, look at the credits, use context clues! (If the main cast reprised their roles, and there was a new character that spoke, whatever name is left is more than likely to be that character’s voice.)
· I really think the birthdates should be removed. A member claimed to have seen them on a website that the creators of the show made themselves. When I did a search on these birthdates with the show, nothing came up. And usually in cartoons, years aren’t given to birthdates unless a time period is pacifically stated in the show. While BGs gives off a bit of a modern feel, it’s pretty vague. Also, the characters are supposed to stay in preschool during the show’s run. If we keep following those dates, they won’t be in preschool anymore…whatever preschool is considered in their world…and lastly, I did a search on the wiki about the birthdates. Many old comments say that they came from Wikipedia, but if you go there now, they’re not there! I don’t mean to sound rude, but the fact that there isn’t any evidence to prove that these dates are cannon makes it harder to believe you. :\
· As much as I’m sure we don’t want to, we need start listing outside sources. And if the characters have something like “a bare seen blue star birthmark on the back of her tail.”, there should be a screenshot confirming this or at least mentioning a scene where we can see this.
· We need to have a clearer idea of the Season comparisons. If I ever get to buying the episodes, I’ll put some together with the characters from the opening theme, doing the same poses they do in each version. If you have any high quality episodes, feel free to help.
· Update the character template at the bottom if it isn’t. I think we should add additional templates for the different species the minor characters usually come in.
· We should make a list of guidelines/rules and tips for members to follow for character pages. One of which should be keeping the comments section on topic. I saw that some people were using the character pages to make random status up dates or using the section like a shoutbox.
Decisions To Make:
· Should we have a list of voice actors from the international dubs? Where should we put them?
· Should we change the “Appearances” tab to “Development?” and place the key episodes where the character has appeared somewhere toward the bottom of the character’s main page?
· Should we clean up the comments by getting rid of fanfics, spam and things unrelated to the page? A few pages? From this point on? I think we should especially remove dirty fics, they really shouldn’t be here on the website….
· Should we move fanfics from comments over to some place like the Fanon Wiki or OonaxNonners thread? (http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:59962) Or just do that with fanfics that have be posted in page format?
· Should we continue to have separate galleries for the scenes characters appeared in different episodes or have just one big general gallery? Should we categorize these images instead?
· Should we change or remove some of the header titles? What kinds should we have?
· Is there any way we can fix the order of the things in the profile box? Dislikes should be closer to likes.
· Should we keep the quotes at the top? Maybe we can just put a quote under the profile pic. Maybe we should only give the main character pages quotes?
· Should we have separate pages for alter egos or should they be merged with the character that portrayed them?
· Should we keep the “Colors” part under "Looks"?
Episode Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· Again, consistency, add headers, place any information that has a tab for it inside the tab, put the title card or at least a screenshot in the info box, fix errors, add categories of themes…
· Remove the voice cast list. Maybe we can place it somewhere else.
· Try to fix the formatting of the Character list.
· Move segment list to the bottom of the page.
· Any gallery that isn’t in gallery form, should be converted into a galley.
· Try to keep screenshots that came from the pop and dance songs on those song pages.
· When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song tile.
· Get rid of full episodes, only post clips.
· We need more quotes!
· Recent episodes are missing summaries, anyone want to fill those in?
Decisions To Make:
· Should we delete this episodes list? Any info that isn’t on the episode pages can be transferred to them. (http://bubbleguppies.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Bubble_Guppies_episodes)
· Should we reduce the galleries in the Season lists to a single picture from that Season? Should we even have a gallery there at all?
· Should summaries be a certain length?
· What tense should we use while making the summaries?
· Songs and Areas or just Songs?
Song Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· Consistency! Add headers, place any information that has a tab for it inside the tab, put the title card or at least a screenshot in the info box, fix errors, add categories of themes…
· Make sure all screenshot thumbnails are resized to 200px, the featured screenshot at 250px
· Make sure the lyrics are correct, listen carefully and use captions, make sure you can rewind to double-check.
· When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song tile.
· Change “Characters Singing” to “Characters Appearing” and list their roles in the songs like lead, backup and dancer.
· I was planning on making a system for the melodies in the dance songs since there are a lot with the same instrumentals. I’ll put that together eventually.
· Any gallery that isn’t in gallery form, should be converted into a galley.
· Get rid of any dead links in the videos section.
· Try to fix the formatting of the Character list.
· Try to center the screenshot used in the title box.
Decisions To Make:
· Should we add song writers and composers?
· Should we continue to add the speaking parts when the music starts? I’ve been doing that with the song pages. Does anybody mind?
· Should we remove images from the lyrics area? If we can’t find a way to fix the formatting, I think we should.
Segment Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· Add any headers if needed, put the title card or at least a screenshot in the info box, fix errors, add categories of themes…
· Update all the lists.
· I don’t think these pages need tabs, just a little summary, a gallery on the main page, trivia, reaction for the lunch jokes.
Decisions To Make:
· Should we make a separate page for Gil’s Slapstick skits? Then link to them on Gil’s page?
· Should we just make all the segments a list/grid instead? One big page for each type?
Location Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· Add any headers if needed, put the title card or at least a screenshot in the info box, fix errors, add categories of themes, summaries if there aren’t any…
· Any gallery that isn’t in gallery form, should be converted into a galley.
· Two main locations so far are Bubbletucky and Bubbledom, list all places under these locations
· Give those places separate pages and have their names linked in the list
· Probably don’t need any tabs, just have everything on the main page
· When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song tile.
Decisions To Make:
· Would it be better to do a grid rather than separate pages?
Item Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· I think we should have page for key items if we don’t already have them, like Molly’s micro fin, The Sun King’s ring, etc. I think it should just be a grid rather than separate pages.
· When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song tile.
Decisions To Make:
· Should we make pages for important items?
Cast And Crew Pages
Things To Change Or Add:
· Add any headers if needed, fix errors, add categories…
· Add pages for new voice actors
· I don’t think we need to say too much, just a little bio, roles they’ve played on the show, roles elsewhere that may be recognizable…
· Change the bios if they’re taken from elsewhere or at least state where they’re from providing a link.
· When mentioning episodes, italicize the title. When mentioning songs, use quotation marks around the song tile.
· Link to official websites at the bottom of the page if that person has one, if not imdb. Please do NOT link to social media accounts!
· Make a page for other key people: Robert Scull, Jonny Belt and Janice Burgess to name a few
· We should have pages for the companies that are involved with the show, like Nelvana for example and Wildbrain/Secret Agent Productions.
· Nickelodeon section should have some info about Nick Jr. And linking to there websites and BGs related portions.
Decisions To Make:
· How many people should we take note of? There are storyboard artists, animators, matte artists, designers, research consultants; lots of folks. Should we just make pages for key people and make a grid for the rest?
Other Wiki Stuff
Things To Change Or Add:
· Update the wiki rules, revise the general rules and make rules for other areas of the wiki.
· Customize our instant messages that are sent to new members, give them what they need to know before they start editing. Not just rules but tips as well.
· Once we make our improvements or maybe while we’re still in the process, we should ask viewers to complete a survey full of poll questions.
· We need to find a way to make the chat better. It needs some sort of notification sound or feature if possible.
· Any pages with "Candidates for Deletion" should be deleted. I may have missed a few…
· We should add some more development to the show page, like how it came to be and general Season differences.
Decisions To Make:
· Should we have a Guestbook? For non-members and wiki users from other places to let us know how we’re doing or just stop by to leave a complement.
· Should we add information about promos and commercials that the Guppies appear in?
· Should bad quality images be used as placeholders? And should they be replaced on pages if someone finds a better image?
· A bit of a stretch, but should we try to fuse with Chrismh & Joserider’s BGs Wikis? We could all help each other out.
· Should we add new boards to the forums? For fanworks and maybe as a way to pin important topics?
I know it seems like a lot, but we can break it up in to parts so we can focus on one area at a time.
I need you feedback! What do you think of the list? Do you have anything to add? Are you guys up for it? What should we focus on first? Once we decide the order, we can go into further detail if there needs to be.
