The Show

If anyone's going tomorrow, try to do these. You don't have to do it if you don't want to, but it would be very helpful:

• 1. Try to write down or record everything that happens.
• 2. Take some high-quality photos to put on the page.

Also, soon we're gonna have to split this into two pages (like Limozeen Live!) and make this a disambiguation. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:54, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Goes for the Gold

Now that the toon has been recorded, should we have a seperate article for the toon? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 18:40, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

I've created a transcript on the sandbox using the recording. I don't think it's ready for primetime, so I think we should leave off until it gets released onto the site or uploaded to YouTube. - Catjaz63 18:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

There are pages for stuff like this, and we have the transcript for it, so... I don't see why not. I'ma vote yes. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 04:40, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

But the thing about this toon is that we're pretty sure it'll release on the website or onto YouTube sometime soon. Dad's Garage & Friends we'll probably never see the light of day of. - Catjaz63 04:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Another yes vote from me. Assuming it's going to be released on the wedsite, that doesn't mean we can't get a leg up on the pile. -- ■■   PURPLE  WRENCH   ■■ 10:07, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

If we do create an article, what would it be called? "Homestar Runner Goes For The Gold! (animated version)"? "Homestar Runner and The Brothers Strong"? "20th Anniversary Toon"? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 20:42, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

I would think we'd call it The Homestar Runner Goes For The Gold! (toon), like we you guys did for Where My Hat Is At?. Either that or we put all the toon information on The Homestar Runner Goes For The Gold!, and move its current content to the Fun Facts section. I could see either possibility. Also, I vote yes. Although we might need a little more transcript cleanup first. Lira (talk) 23:57, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

It appears Gfd has tried to make the page already, so I guess I'll have to revive this discussion. In its current state, I do not feel the page is in any state to be released. The transcript is full of mistakes due to inaudible lines due to the audience and some information that should be filled is in filled in yet. Unless we put a notice that an unofficial source was used, like over-the-top-ly did so in the Sandbox, I don't think it is at all in any state to be expanded into its own page until it's released officially. Maybe inside the page of the event, but I don't think it's worth its own independent page as of now. - Catjaz63 05:16, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Merge?

I've noticed that there have been a number of recent edits designed to avoid linking to this disambiguation page. However, rewording sentences to so that there are places to hang both links ends up making the wording awkward and clunky. Since the two performances are nearly always both linked, I propose merging both articles here in order to do away with the redundant linking. What do people think? — Defender1031*Talk 17:27, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Information for both shows could easily fit on one page. I'm leaning towards a yes on merging, though I'm curious: should both dates be appended to the title? Every other page in Category:Interviews and Public Appearances that has a specific known date has that date in their title, but as far as I'm aware this would be the first with two specific dates if it does get merged. DEI DAT VM^┌_{datvm center}\^{super contra}_┘ 18:08, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I'd leave the existing titles with the dates as part of them as redirects to the proper section on this page. I wouldn't put the dates in the merged title though. — Defender1031*Talk 19:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I'd lean towards no, since they have a different description and different performances. They're different enough that leaving them seperate is fine. I also think that the disambiguation page should be linked to, since it's different from most disambiguations. (For example, no articles should link to Baby, because that can refer to multiple things. On the other hand, Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show is a convenient way to link to both pages at the same time.) Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 22:09, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

No. Disambiguation pages should not be linked to, full stop. I've noticed that the Wiki is more lax about this guideline than it was when it was active. RickTommy (edits) 23:11, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Why not? (I understand in most cases, but not for the 20th Anniversary disambiguation.) Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:51, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
