Futurama Wiki:Community Portal

This page is for discussing the Futurama wiki.

Use of images

Just by searching through a couple articles, I have seen a few of my images (David X. Cohen and Eric Kaplan) have been used on this Wikia site. I just recently had to add the requested information (that I ask anyone who uses my images) to the Cohen image, and I would very much enjoy the same royalty for any other of my images that have been used without my knowledge.

And in the case of the Kaplan image, this exactly the kind of attribution that would be great for any of my images that are used.

I didn't create these images and license them under CC-BY-SA for people to use them without crediting me for creating them. Feel free to use them, but please give the proper attribution. 71.114.205.234 15:10, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

Futurama Wiki's AD

We want to add an AD (the 88x31 gif pic-link) in our futurama related website to 'Futurama Wiki' like we did to every other mager futurama website. but, we didn't found your 88x31 gif pic.

I would like you to derct me to Futurama Wiki's 88x31 pic. --77.127.143.115 13:01, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

New Multilingual Portal

The Futurama Wiki is now available in Spanish.

Therefore, the URLs for the English version have changed to en.futurama.wikicities.com (as with en.wikipedia.org, en is the language code for English). The old URLs will automatically redirect to the English version to prevent breaking links. For example, http://futurama.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page redirects to http://en.futurama.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page. The only URL which is different is futurama.wikicities.com since this is now a mulitlingual portal pointing to the two different language editions. Angela (talk) 08:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Licensing

I think we need to add an appropriate license to the images. Something that generalized copyrighted media should work. I have a bot if necessary, but this is something we need to do. Joey - Talk ^Contribs 08:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, some proper templates would be ace. I doubt that the DVD images are (c) Comedy Network actually, they're probably all Fox. So Templates that go by the source of the images should probably work best (DVD Image, Comic scan, Movie image, webite image etc.) and we can then tweak the copyright in the template to properly reflect that. --◄mendel► 11:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Has anyone addressed this issue yet? If there is a system for citing the source of an image in place (say taken from an episode or movie or what-have-you) then it would be nice to have it posted someplace where users who might want to upload images can find it. Ellipses485 18:56, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, we'll need to work on that :). Joey - Talk ^Contribs 13:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I already did. Just wait for the cached data on Special:UncategorizedCategories to update and they'll be gone. :) --◄mendel► 14:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I have the following suggestions for making the category tree more balanced:

• rename category:Futurama to Category:Futurama Franchise
• take category:people out of that and put it under category:browse
  • rename category:Futurama Guests to Guest Stars (more consistent with other cats under cat:people)
• take category:in-universe out of cat:Futurama Franchise, rename it category:futurama.
• Make a category:Maintenance in cat:Futurama Wiki and move the "automatic" article maintenance categories there.

We also need to decide whether we want user boxes and their associated categories here — looking at Special:WantedCategories, so far there's only one user who really wants them, and I'd suggest making a policy of "no user categories" and then delete them off his page (I want that category to be empty). --◄mendel► 11:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC) & 20:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Problems

1. Futurama Wiktionary needs to be broken up into articles, and links to it redirected to these articles, or, in the case of non-futuramam information, redirected to wikipedia.
2. List of All My Circuits episodes needs a source. Somebody needs to determine if this is made up, and if it is, the list and all the articles for the fictional episodes could be moved to fananon. They cannot stay on this wiki if they're not canon.

Projects

Infoboxes

Infoboxes need to be added to a lot of articles. The Character Infobox needs to be added to the character pages without one and the Episode Infobox needs to be added to the episode pages without one. Also, a Planet Infobox needs to be added to planet pages without one.

Appearances

Articles in need of appearances need the appearances added to them. See Category:Articles in need of appearances and add appearances to them if possible.

Wanted Pages

Please add to the Wanted Pages. Make new articles, etc.
