[edit] Computer eras

I typoed my explanation on the "reasons for editing" box, so I'll restate it here: Why were the Pom Pilot/Tangerine Dreams e-mails not counted as part of the Tandy era, but the Corpy was counted as a Lappy mail? I understand it has to do with era, as I see now looking down the edit history, but the Tandy has been left this way so long. It bugs me. Just stating my reasoning because I misworded that.

[edit] Combined template

Since this and {{strongbadpapers}} are so similar, I wondered how a combined template would look. So I made this. What do you think? Should we use it?

Hello? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 00:10, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

It looks pretty good to me. You've got my vote. Lira (talk) 22:27, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I feel about current being on the left and the former being on the right. A 2x3 box would look much better imo, but maybe that's just me. - Catjaz63 01:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, I actually like this one better. Cut! Print! Put it in the template! Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 01:19, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Anyone else? Should we do this? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 21:53, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

I do like this table format, and I'm okay with combining the templates for compies and papes. DEI DAT VM^┌_{datvm center}\^{super contra}_┘ 14:19, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

[edit] Are papers computers?

So I didn't realize until I'd made the category edit that Papers were included in this template. I thought about removing them from the Strong Bad's Computers category but now I'm wondering if they do belong there or not. What does everybody think? --Stux 21:15, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Probably not, especially since papers have their own category, but both category descriptions should probably link to the other one. (Or not, since they can both be accessed easily from Category:Strong Bad's Items.) Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 22:20, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gfd, what you said makes sense, so I've removed the papers from the computers category. I did add diambig links to each category since even though they share a category, the topics are so closely related. Finally, thanks for moving the computers category into the items category. I originally intended to do that and I forgot all about it. Once again thanks for all your help! :D --Stux 08:33, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
