Episode 1 problems

Yeah, I've got a couple of questions about Episode 1. They're at Talk:Episode 1: Pilot. VDZ 17:15, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

The last couple of seconds need a name

At the end of every episode (or for the newer episodes, the second-to-last scene), there's a Yu-Gi-Oh! scene with some other audio clip, usually a reference to something else (you know what I mean). However, to describe those parts, we need to have a name for them...because The part right at the end of the episode which is usually a reference to something consists of Yugi saying 'Get out of my head!' to Yami Yugi isn't the best way to describe that.VDZ 17:15, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

It seems to be called a 'stinger'. VDZ 04:04, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

It seems that the technical term is "post-credits scene", and that it also goes by "stinger" and "tag". I think we could go with stinger, it sounds better than post-credits scene (especially since YGO:TAS has no credits), and besides, it's shorter. Tatterdemalion 00:30, 23 September 2007 (EDT)

Name templates

If you've edited Episode 1's article, you'll have seen that instead of listing the characters names in the script, templates are used instead. This is so that if we, for example, would decide that Yami should be listed as 'Pharaoh' instead, we do not have to edit every single page; change the template, and it changes on every page using the template. To use a template, type two {s, followed by the first letter of the character's first name, then the first letter of the character's last name, then two }s. For example, in Yugi Muto's case it would be YM. Exceptions:

• Yami Yugi is YY
• Pegasus is P
  

Of course, you can just write them down as Yugi or Kaiba if you like, changing it isn't difficult.VDZ 17:15, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

Wiki help needed

The wiki is calling this wiki 'Yugiohtas' instead of Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Wiki. Does anybody know how to change this?VDZ 17:15, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

Transcripts

I'm sorry, but do we really need transcripts for entire episodes? I mean, I see the purpose of this wiki, and I'm entirely behind it, but wouldn't it be better served if we were to organize the information in a more...organized way? And is a full transcript really necessary? I mean, if someone wants to find out the entire text, couldn't they just watch the episode? I think this wiki should devote more time to explaining the intricacies of the series, and each episode as is necessary, focusing more time on important detail and background information, and less on ver batim recapitulation. Still, that's just my view. Tatterdemalion 21:20, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

Full transcripts make it easier to look up a quote. For example, if you write in references that Yugi's line of "Dark Magician! You are not a gun! You are what you choose to be! Now choose!" is a reference to the Iron Giant, the reader may want to check back to read that part again and think "Ah, so that was the obscure movie reference Shahdi was talking about!" Of course, a full transcript isn't required for an episode article...but the more information the better.212.187.108.75 01:59, 22 September 2007 (EDT) That was me, forgot to log in.VDZ 02:00, 22 September 2007 (EDT)

We could link to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia for the transcripts when we're too lazy to write it in the article.VDZ 03:56, 22 September 2007 (EDT)
