Some public notes ahead of our text chatting[edit]

Hey guy! Just a few thoughts from me before we connect via messenger:

  • Template:700s doesn't exist; I'm happy to make it if you think it's easier for the transcription bot to grab from it rather than fill the parameters that the Infobox template also allows for:
|episodeMonth		= M
|episodeDateNumber	= D
|episodeYear		= YYYY
  • I like the idea of keeping the Outro in italics (see Template:Outro664), since it's a voice-over rather than something recorded each episode
  • I like that you combine Who's the Noisy with Jay's announcements
  • Hopefully we can break up the bot's section-making for Science or Fiction, since sometimes there are some meaty discussions about each item.
  • Visually, I prefer seeing the News Items listed in this wiki's TOC more like the shownotes page:
== News Items ==
=== xanderox is cool ===
=== so is Mheguy ===
=== and Hearmepurr might be the coolest ===

I feel like "News Item #N: _item_name_" doesn't look as smooth.

  • obviously there's still plenty of human-touch polishing that's probably easier to have us humans do, rather than trying to get the bot to automate some of it (like show-specific captions for the icon, creating redirects, and filling in some of the other template parameters that the skeleton showcases)
  • Thank you for this awesome tool you've introduced!!
