{{

I felt there should be a better episode info box so i made a new template ( Infobox Episodes )<br>
which should be backwasrds compatable with the old data in Infobox Episode ( just add a s to the end )
Infobox Episodes<br>
| podcast =<br>
| thumb  = <br>

| number = <br>
| date  =<br>

'''Please link internally for cross referencing and adding additional info.'''<br>
Internal pages can contain more information about the person your linking to, <br>
instead of just linking someone off site to a single page which may end up showing nothing to do with why they were sent there.<br>
<br>
Some pages have been created for regular show guests but are Still getting linked externally,<br>
which can cause inconsistency with they way the show lists, episodes, and other pages get edited, <br>
and it also takes away the chance to add additional info for guests that have appeared on multiple shows,<br>
have multiple sources of contact, and links of interest.
From a Wiki and research aspect it also takes away from the ability to press the " What links here " internal link<br>
to see what other works , shows , and info might be related to the linked object in question.
Just because it shows up in big bold red letters doesn't mean to link it to a offsite page.<br>
Offsite linking should be more for media file locations, 1 off random guests & direct links to references relavant to that page.<br>
Spend the time to see if the page exists already on the wiki and use it. ( Reduce orphans pages )<br>
If a guest is a common guest or has appeared on multiple shows, create a page. (For more information)<br>
Don't be lazy, research a broken link, use your words and create the page.<br>
''Examples:''<br>
<nowiki>
[[DCTVpedia]]</nowiki> is a internal link which will take you to a article about [[DCTVpedia]].<br>
<nowiki>[http://dctvpedia.com/DCTVpedia DCTVpedia]</nowiki> -  [http://dctvpedia.com/DCTVpedia DCTVpedia] is a external link which will take you to the [[DCTVpedia]] article page. <br>
'''Which one looks like a easier edit ?'''<br>
<nowiki>
[[Len Peralta]]</nowiki> is a internal link which will take you to a existing article about [[Len Peralta]].<br>
<nowiki>[http://lenperaltastore.com/ Len Peralta]</nowiki> -  [http://lenperaltastore.com/ Len Peralta] is a external link which will take you to  [[Len Peralta]]'s page. <br>
'''Which one can hold more in depth information and additional links ?'''
I'm not trying to be a Wiki Nazi but this place is becoming a hot mess of outdated & un-touched stuff,<br>
and its harder to keep everything semi uniformed structured with relevant updated info with different people editing in different ways.--[[User:Joatmon|Joatmon]] ([[User talk:Joatmon|talk]]) 14:01, 22 January 2018 (PST)
