Arrowverse Wiki:Dead Week

TL;DR: You did not arrive here by mistake, so please do not fix the link on the previous page. We are attempting to have more consistency at Arrowverse Wiki. If you would like to help, please read below.

Again, this was not an error and the direct link being down is only temporary. Between May 31, 2019 and June 4, 2019, we are celebrating what we are dubbing "Dead Week" which is a project we are undergoing which requires a lot of help from our editors. (That's you!) This week is designed to help bring consistency to our wiki in hopes that we closer align to our Manual of Style. The Manual of Style states that all episodes must be linked to using the Ep template; all comic book issues be linked to using the Com template; and so on. This is primarily due to formatting consistency as well as the hovering feature that these templates are equipped with. That being said, this week the following templates are "dead":


 * Template:Com
 * Template:Web
 * Template:Bk
 * Template:Cross
 * Template:Image-screenshot
 * Template:Image-DC
 * Template:Quote (only the source feature)
 * Template:Dialogue (only the source feature)

This is primarily for a trial run as the major component that needs help is Template:Ep and Template:S. Judging by the success this go around, there may be another Dead Week in-between these airing seasons that will make Ep and S dead. If this project is a success, we hope that it becomes an annual thing that we can do to "clean up" in between airing seasons.

The reason for killing these templates is so that we as users can easily spot the places in this wiki in which a given episode is linked but is not done so using the appropriate template. Here is the procedure in which we will carry out this project:


 * 1) Pick a title from the list below (way down)
 * 2) Go to that page and click the "What links here" button on your toolbar at the bottom of the screen
 * 3) Be sure that Namespace is set to "(Main)". (Primarily because user pages and blogs can kind of do whatever they want and we don’t necessarily need to change those links)
 * 4) Click on a page title that appears in the list (Hopefully the list is small)
 * 5) Find all instances of the link in the article (Ctrl+F helps when finding things) and change it using the appropriate template. (See the Manual of Style for specific details)
 * 6) Repeat this process. What should happen is if you refresh the "What links here" page, the article you just changed should no longer be there. This means you are helping with consistency! Thanks a bunch!

As Dead Week continues, the following list will be updated to display titles that users have finished clearing. If you finish a clearing, please state the title you cleared using the announcement thread.

Another thing to be cautious of is to really, really, really watch other users and make sure that they aren’t undoing the style we want and placing a direct link down. They think they are helping, so don’t get upset at them. They just didn’t read this message so they don’t understand what we are doing and why we aren't wanting to link to a given page. Please correct their error and kindly leave them a message directing them to this page.
