Infoboxes
No problem. Thank YOU for going through the dvd episodes and correcting orders and infoboxes in the first place from the data we hastily slapped on back in 1988. Back then the infoboxes covered just writer and director and when we took the decision to expand them I used my spreadsheet of credits from old TV Times. It's astonishing how many times in the 1980s the magazine was wrong and makes me wonder how many of the others of that period are correct.--Jtomlin1uk 15:18, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Deleting a category redirect - often a bad idea
Not a good idea if it's a category some ignorant person can then immediately re-create, and then give parent categories to - plus a whole lot of other things that then have to be undone, just because you deleted the clear indication that what they have created is wrong and telling them what it should be. Why do you think I went to the trouble of creating the category redirect? -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 12:45, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Will do. It won't be tonight as I'm out with friends (yeah!) but I'll have a look the next night - it seems a really simple one for me - I don't understand the confusion. If I die at 4.00am "tonight", my date of death is 18th April - what's difficult about that?!!--Jtomlin1uk 17:16, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Granada Plus edits
Hi Karen,

Thanks for all the hard work you and the others put into making the site so informative.

I've noticed that you sometimes alter the number of appearances that a character has made as the character has not appeared in an episode where they've previously been credited. If your source is the Granada Plus repeats I wonder if this is always correct. As I'm sure you're aware,at least some of these were edited. It's possible that the character appeared in a scene that was cut or trimmed. During the 1970s and 80s a regular character almost always appeared in both episodes,even if only briefly. But,I suppose we'll never know for sure unless these episodes are released or made available uncut in the future.

Keep up the good work,

70s Fan 20:30, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

ta for help on my new page
I am glad you did the bits and bobs that I missed or didn't know about on Eric Summers. I feel right stupid about the tense. Some places put everything in the present in fictional universes, which is daft in my opinion, so I'm not sure why I did it here.

I wouldn't be totally surprised at what 70s fan said above, but I would think that if Granada Plus edited episodes then they'd have all been the same length, and they are nowhere near. I found those 77-78 eps are anywhere from 21 to 25+ mins. I did find it odd that one of the most dramatic eps (around the time of Ernie's death) was only 20!

All the best! derekbd 20:43, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Karen

I see you have uploaded a screengrab of the episode where Stan finds his birth certificate. Was a shot of the certificate seen in the episode or was the info read out, ie parents names, or was Stan's full name revealed?

I have the episode dated 30th Nov from my 1983 8 episode boxset but would love to see this ep. I am after any backhistory info on Stan that i can find.

Hi Karen,

I'm planning on making a montage of Kevin Webster clips, and I've located the episodes of the clips I want.

I've noticed on each episodes page, there's an image from that episode and I noticed they were uploaded by you. I can't find these episodes/clips anywhere and I was wondering since you've got the images from those episodes, that you have the actual episodes as well. Would there be any chance of me having a copy of these episodes if you do have them?

Thanks :) Episode 2521 (29th May 1985) Episode 2611 (9th April 1986)

Thanks

Episode 2797
Hi Karen,

The page on Episode 2797 has been edited to include Audrey in the cast. This is one of the episodes you have, I think - just confirming 100% that she's not in it before I revert it. John says hi btw (we're just back from a good day at the BFI :) David (talk) 18:08, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

regarding Audrey Roberts in Episode 3028 - I have a taped copy of every episode of 1990 and Audrey is definitely not in that episode

Places
Hi Karen, I see you have been adding places to 2008 episodes recently. I was just wondering, what range of episodes are you planning to add places to episode articles for? I'm planning to add them to the remainder of 2009, 2010, and 2011. Just trying to avoid us treading on each other's toes! Notdoppler (talk) 13:38, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I would rather not if that's okay, because I have taken over the new episodes again from David, and as I said I'm adding places to 2009 episodes, so I have a lot of work! Plus I'm not totally confident with the formatting of the LoA pages. Hope you understand. Notdoppler (talk) 13:54, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks like I might take a while with 2009, so once you've finished 2008 go ahead with 2010 if you wish. Notdoppler (talk) 17:35, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. Notdoppler (talk) 17:53, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Just out of interest, how do you manage to add the places to the articles so quickly? Do you watch the full episodes or do you skip through? It takes me a good couple of hours to do a whole weeks worth but I do prefer to watch the whole episodes as I missed a lot in 2009. Notdoppler (talk) 10:32, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Karen, I'm back from my break from editing. I was literally just about to start working on the 2009 episodes again but I see you've started adding the places. If you would like to continue with them I would be happy to start on 2010 instead? Notdoppler (talk) 18:27, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

I don't know why you and your mates keep deleting trivia which people add. No wonder people are relunctant to help improve these sites!

The storyline of the health inspector turning up at the exact moment a large creature got free in the Rovers kitchen WAS rehashed - it even says so on your own Wiki plot summaries!

Episode 7893 was the one in question where the story was an exact repeat of 3417 (apart from spider replaced with rat), some 20 years later.

images and aspect ratio
Hi Karen, I am writing this because of the picture you altered, File:episode4301. In the time I have worked on this wiki I have come to respect your knowledge of the way things work here and have been grateful for your help and your messages to me. Your comment on the new changed image you uploaded (as well as some comments to me in the past) points out to me an issue about which I DO have a pretty good understanding. You seem to equate the terms "dimensions" and "aspect ratio"; they are not the same thing. The AR refers to the RATIO of the height to the width, not the actual VALUES of the height and width. What you did with the image in question did not correct the aspect ratio but changed it to be incorrect, which is why Ashley's and Fred's faces look tall and skinny. It is one of my pet peeves to see images posted (anywhere on the web) that look so unnatural. That's why you see me do some alterations here from time to time, especially on the images of single characters (such as Phil Nail). In those cases I usually just grab the previously uploaded image and alter it to look more realistic.

Now I was confused about File:episode4301 because the image I uploaded was exactly what is seen on my copy of that episode, although I know that the episodes of this era were in standard 4:3 ratio. What I think has happened is that we have both taken our screen grabs from a copy of the episode as included on the Peter Kay DVD, and apparently that release had cropped the original standard ratio (4:3) image to be displayed in widescreen (16:9) ratio. It became apparent to me by looking at the opening title, since bits of the landscape of Manchester were missing from the top and bottom of the picture. If you feel that the image upped to the site should be the same dimensions as the episodes surrounding it (and as ep4301 was broadcast) then the image I uploaded should be cropped. I have done so here. I hope you will grab my new, cropped version and replace the one on this wiki but I will leave it to you to decide.

Thanks for your time. derekbd (talk) 15:31, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

Portable Infoboxes
Hi, Karen2310!

We're reaching out to a few of our top communities, hoping to get you on board with the migration to the new infobox markup. And we have tools to help!


 * Why we’re doing this

Simply put: Most current infobox structure translates very poorly to mobile experiences, and indeed any device that doesn't use desktop-style displays. On desktops and laptops, they often look amazing. The problem is that Wikia's traffic is trending mobile.

There is an important graph from our forum post about infoboxes a couple weeks back.

Mobile is the future. Not just for Wikia, but for the web as a whole. Take a look at the recent trends and future growth predictions for mobile traffic - it's staggering.

We partnered with the Wikia community to create this new markup to make sure that your hard work can be displayed on mobile devices (as well as any future technologies) easily and without any new coding conventions. It'll take some effort up front, to be sure, but we're here to help, and the work you put in now will pay for itself tenfold in the future.


 * Tools we’ve designed to ease the process

We've enabled two new features on your community. One is a tool for migrating the "old" infobox code to the new markup. It identifies templates on your wikia that look like infobox templates and places a box on the right rail of the template page. When you click the "Generate draft markup" button in this box, it opens a new tab containing a draft of your infobox using the new markup.

The second is a new feature on Special:Insights that will highlight which infoboxes on your wikia have not been migrated to the new infobox markup. It's fairly intuitive - you can click on the infobox title link itself to see the old markup, or simply click the "Convert!" button on the right, which performs the same action as the "Generate draft markup" button. Keep in mind the tool is not perfect, however, and false positives may be returned.

This is our help page for the new markup. If you'd like, I can help get things rolling by converting a template or two to draft form as an example, as well as watching this forum post for any questions that can be forwarded to the powers that be.

Best regards,

Dr Lowther
Dr Lowther

Hi Karen, I read in the Coronation Street magazine when Jean Alexander was interviewed about the upcoming VHS The Women of Coronation Street that Daran Little had written a great little script for her, and the storyline was that Dr Lowther had since died and left Hilda his house. Hope that helps. Many Thanks. Matt

Re: No.11
I assumed Michael was back living at No.11 because after starting his relationship with Eileen he was seen leaving her house and appears to be back living there (as I am guessing they would as they are together). Sometimes gets confusing when characters keep moving about. NathanJohnson (talk) 11:34, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Bethany Platt's Birthday
Hi,

I've been looking over episodes when Bethany was born and Sarah goes into labour on Martin's birthday (2nd June) and the episode on the 4th June is set on the 2nd June. Doesn't that mean Bethany's birthday is the 2nd June 2000?

Re:Joshua Peacock
OK. This does, however, raise the issue as to whether "legal" parents should be included in the character infobox. The waters are muddied further here because it is slightly different from adoption (i.e. Nick Tilsley and Sarah Platt have Martin Platt listed as their "adoptive father"). In regards to Joshua Peacock and Ryan Connor as I mentioned, they never had their biological parents as legal parents to begin with. To put it simply, should Ryan have Michelle and Dean removed from the parent field or should Joshua have Ashley added to his? Is there any criteria on this and if not do you have an opinion either way? Notdoppler (talk) 20:35, November 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you on that, the equivalent of listing Josh and Freddie as brothers would be to list Ryan and Alex as brothers!!! Since nobody else seems to have any objections, I've included Ashley in the father field for Joshua and noted Matt as "biological". Notdoppler (talk) 23:47, November 3, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was confused as on the emmerdale wiki all spouses are included Aks6609 (talk) 20:03, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

Episode 3353 (4th March 1992)
Hi, Karen. The page for episode 3353 is not rendering. I looked at the edit history and the page stopped rendering after the minor correction to notable dialogue revision you made on September 21, 2015. You only changed one word, so I'm not sure what's going on there.Darvec (talk) 02:03, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Carla Connor info
After the episodes of Monday 14 December 2015 I was puzzling over how Carla could be any kind of blood relation to Johnny, Aidan and Kate (since, as far as we know, her maiden name is Donovan and Connor is her married name) so I came here looking for any discussion. I noticed that you had changed Carla's infobox to denote the aforementioned as being her father and half-siblings. Even assuming this does indeed turn out to be the case (and it's happened twice before on the Street) isn't it premature to make that change before it's actually confirmed? Has there been a change of policy here on spoilers? Thanks. derekbd (talk) 12:33, December 15, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out.

Karen, just wondering if you need any help with any thing like the LOA or episodes or anything like that I am happy to help. Kind regards User:CorrieKing.

Karen just to let you know some of the character pages are not editable from CorrieKing

Thank-you for the info. From CorrieKing

Karen, I was wondering round the wiki and noticed that when it shows that Sophie was formerly called Lauren it says ne rather than nee I was just wondering if you could change it as it is one of the pages that I can't edit.

Whoops forgot to leave my name Corrie King

Karen Rana has been added to the main character list when she is not a main character just wondering if you could change that as I am unable to edit it. CorrieKing

It also says on Caz Hommond's page that she has made her last appearance when it is made very clear that we will be seeing more of her

Marta
Sorry! I was going to add basic infobox information to that Marta page. Not so good with writing backstories, though :)

ambiguity
27th July 1997, there is this sentence in the synopsis...
 * Alan feels bad about upsetting his parents, especially when his mother, Mary, starts to cry, saying Fiona should consider other people's feelings.

Who says that last bit, Alan or his mother?

Image Update request
Hi. I took a screenshot of a recent episode featuring Pat Phelan and would like to add it to his profile, but it is locked. Would you kindly do it? The current one on his profile is nearly three years old and think it could do with a new better quality image of the character.

Here is the photo in question.



Regards.

On  13th May in 2016 page, you are missing a ) after Carly Matthews. And there was already a link of Carly Matthews.

Harry Platt
Just wondering if you could take the lock of the Harry Platt page as Max and him are not biologically related. or you could take it of yourself. From Karl3210
 * Good spot, thanks. Page protection has also been lowered.
 * As Callum is both Max and Harry's father it makes them half-siblings, I have just readded this on Harry's page, but Max's page is protected so I am unable to do so. Could you unlock the page for this to be amended please? Thanks Aks6609 (talk) 12:44, May 27, 2016 (UTC)
