- transcribed Science or Fiction on SGU_Episode_581
- updated functionality and documentation of templates
- Template:Google_speech
- (experimental, in progress) Template:Editing_needed
I have been adding templates to the Templates category, they are all sub categorized which makes them harder to discover. I think categorizing them all improves that. Some of them are not editable by me, however. So here's the list I'm keeping for myself of those.
- [Template:W] - wikipedia link creator
- [Template:5X5_infobox]

Desirable Template
For suggested placement at the end of the Science or Fiction section.
After investigation, I suspect this is desirable to implement as an extension. I plan on installing a local wiki and working on that.
{{SOFResults
|episode=581
|host=Steve <!--- asker of the questions --->
|topic1=whiskers <!--- short word or phrase representing the item --->
|topic2=chimpanzees
|topic3=coma
|fiction=whiskers
|topc4=
|rogue1=Bob <!--- rogues in order of response --->
|answer1=whiskers <!--- guess, using one of the topic's names --->
|rogue2=Jay
|answer2=whiskers
|rogue3=Evan
|answer3=whiskers
|rogue4=Cara
|answer4=whiskers
}}
Would output something like:
| Science or Fiction (581) | |
|---|---|
| Steve | crushed |
| Bob | whiskers |
| Jay | whiskers |
| Evan | whiskers |
| Cara | whiskers |
| other topics | |
| chimpanzees | |
| coma | |
Suggested colorings:
| Host Colorings | ||
|---|---|---|
| swept | #ccffcc | all the rogues guessed one of the incorrect items |
| scattered | #ccccff | each item was guessed at least once (Steve's preferred result) |
| mixed | #ffffcc | some wrong, some right |
| crushed | #ffcccc | all the rogues guessed the correct answer |
| Rogue Colorings | ||
| correct | #ccffcc | correctly selected the fiction item |
| incorrect | #ffcccc | selected one of the science items |
