Talk:Quote of the Week

The fact that these dates won't line up is driving me nuts. Is there some snippet of code we can use to add a date in a sort of uniform manner? -- AgentSeethroo 13:38, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Ask and ye shall receive. Actually, I came here to ask you if you liked the table, but found your note. You like? -- Tom 13:50, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Yeah, it looks wicked! I looked at the code, and even though it's probably rudimentary HTML, I'm lost on it. That's probably gonna be your thing. -- AgentSeethroo 13:55, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Okay, I did the whole thing. It looks kind of weird now, since some of the quotes are so long. I don't like how the date and download links get moved down. How about another form of writing the date? I tried another one in the first three, check it out. -- Tom 14:05, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

It looks pretty good, but not uniform, ya know? How can we make the long quotey ones look...not jacked up? -- AgentSeethroo 14:09, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Yeah. This might be of some help. I think this might be the most confusing Wiki format there is. Maybe someone else has some ideas... Joey? -- Tom 14:17, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

This may be a stupid question, but can you use html throughout MediaWiki? Or just when creating tables? -- AgentSeethroo 14:38, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

I think it works everywhere. Strong? Em? Strike? Tt? Yup. Well, at least those tags work. But it's important to use wikitext where possible. I know that's one thing that Wikignomes do on Wikipedia, they fix someone's crazy HTML and make it simple to understand wikitext. -- Tom 15:20, 11 Aug 2004 (MST)

Um hath anys peoples realized that half thy links have been 404'd? --Clever Dan 17:42, 9 Oct 2004 (MST)

Yeah, if someone happens to have those quotes mirrored, it would be great to be able to link to them. --oddtodd 14:45, 22 Nov 2004 (MST)

Okay, I have a mirror for a few of them. Most of them I don't have, though. --FatPamPam

Also, if you keep pressing the QotW button, you don't just get Homestar's broken speech bubble, but you also get a frame where he's saying 'undefined' -- Matt 16:59, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)

blabittablough

Am I the only one that hears a very clear z at the beginning of the last "word" of the 12/16 quote? I suggested "zabbitablough" as a more accurate transcription, but it was reverted. (BTW, I agree with "blabittablough" in the actual email, but this sounds different.)

I hear a "Z," as well. -- FortyTwo

Yup. That's definitely a Z. Try changing it again.
