2. The new menu works completely differently and will probably need it's won page or subsection. Still trying figurue out if there's a pattern to Strong Bad's comments on the emails.

:Yeah, I was just wondering that myself. We need to create [[Strong Bad Email Menu]], stat! (Also, I notice you've been adding descriptions to each email's page. I'd suggest holding off on that for now. It's a big project that needs consensus for how it's going to be implemented.) {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 02:43, 1 January 2021 (UTC) | :Yeah, I was just wondering that myself.

- | :: | + | ::Descriptions are currently being added to the top of email pages, but I don't know if that's the best place for them. They're not ''so'' important that they need to be listed alongside date and running time. (Especially considering [[TV Time Toons Menu]] descriptions have never been documented on toon pages. I think that should change, but that's another discussion for another time.) I would add them to the Trivia section (alongside [[YouTube]] and [[Podstar Runner]] descriptions), like so: |
- | + | ::<code><nowiki>*The [[Strong Bad Email menu]] description for this email is "X"</nowiki></code> {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig}} 22:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC) | |
- | + | ::: But it's a fact that now can exist for literally every sbemail, and most if not all toons. If we're putting them on the sbemail/toon pages anyway, I think having a dedicated space for them, not under "Trivia", is the way to go. Maybe not necessarily at the top, but not in "Trivia". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:18, 8 January 2021 (UTC) | |
- | + | :::: Here are a couple of things that we will need to account for as we decide where and how to standardize this info: | |
- | + | ::::* Most of the menu descriptions are identical to the description on [[YouTube]], but some are different. | |
- | + | ::::* Some of the YouTube descriptions are in the Trivia section, while some are in a YouTube Version section. | |
- | + | :::: I think we should list the menu description, the YouTube description (if any), and the Podstar description (if any) together in a standard place, either in the upper area of the page or perhaps in a new Description(s) section above Explanations. If descriptions are identical, they should be combined and noted as such. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:46, 1 February 2021 (UTC) | |
- | + | :::::I definitely support listing all the descriptions together on each page. I like the idea of a Descriptions section. That would also be a good place to note the [[Talk:homestarrunner.com#Hidden Descriptions|hidden page descriptions that Gfd brought up]]. {{User:Lira/sig}} 20:47, 1 February 2021 (UTC) | |
