Episode Chronology

If I'm not mistaken, MLS came before The yellow dello.

Correct. --Upsilon

Too crowded.

I do say, this page will be overly crowded when done. We need some type of standard. Like little .png files. Two cents anyone? -- FireBird

Agreed that we need a standard, and small images would be great. Perhaps this page can even be a table or matrix of small images that shows characters on one axis and time on the other. But this page seems to be developing slowly enough that I don't think it's anything we need to worry about that kind of formatting yet. What would help quite a bit, though, would be to demand a common aspect ratio for all of these images, since some are tall, some are wide, and they'll all look odd in a table together. I propose that all the images on this page be square (1:1). Any other favorite ratios? Do I hear 4:3? Anyone? Render

I think at the very least we should give each character's evolution a page to itself. I do like the idea of the Matrix of Evolution, though. I'd recommend 50x50 to 100x100 for the matrix idea, or 200x200 for separate pages.--Upsilon

Character Evolution page vs. Category:Character Evolution

Should the Character Evolution page exist? Right now all it has are links to the seperate evolution pages. These links are already on the Characters page, so should the Character Evolution page be deleted? --[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy/_talk]] 09:40, 27 Nov 2004 (MST) Since the time I made that comment in November, the links to the separate character evolution pages were deleted off the Characters page and a link to Category:Character Evolution was added in their place. — Kilroy / talk 18:56, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't see why not. --Upsilon

I don't see them on the character page. Do you mean clicking on individual characters and then pressing evelution? Well, I like this page. I vote stay. --Joshua 06:16, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)

He's right. With this, we'll be able to delete the individual pages, and the bandwidth will never be exceeded again! --Technochocolate 03:38, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This shows the development, we NEED IT-battlefrank

The comment on this page said that it should be deleted because it is a manually maintained list, and I agree. I've replaced links to this with links to the Category:Character Evolution page, which serves the same function and is automatically updated. Unless there are objections, this page will be deleted. Aurora the Homestar Coder 15:46, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No, keep this page. Lists like this are good. Expecially if we add more non-main characters, like 1936 Strong Bad! -- Joshua

Joshua, I think you miss the point. Category:Character Evolution is a better version of this very page. It's better because we don't manually maintain it. If we make any more evolution pages, then you just have to put [[Category:Character Evolution]] at the bottom of the page, and the list will be updated automatically.

Reddish Radish and Yellow Dello pics?

Should sections for the Reddish Radish and Yellow Dello pictures be in here? They were both a seperate design made for just one cartoon. I don't think they should contribute to the actual evolution of the character. Anyway, unless someone disagrees, I'm gonna get rid of them soon. --Joshua 18:03, 25 Mar 2005 (MST)

YES! YES! YES! We want descriptions of the Reddish Raddish and Yello Dello pictures!

Just delete it. This is stupid. -User:Tapd260

Um, they've been deleted for months. --Jay (Gobble) 20:58, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Maybe he means delete the page, and put it on the wrong discussion (see above) Homestar Coder 21:05, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Ah. Now that would make sense. If that's the case, never mind. --Jay (Gobble) 21:06, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
