Latest revision as of 23:13, 24 January 2007
We may want to consider including the following creator fields in the Episode template:
- Original airdate
- Producer(s)
- Storyboard Artist(s)
- Background Artist(s)
- Animator(s)
- Theme Song
- Music (
- Running Length
Why "Guest Actor(s)? Why not simply Actor(s) or Voice Actor(s) or Voice(s)?
Also, I needed to add HTML for the actors names to wrap correctly. Is there any way to build that in to the template? - Gopher 21:36, 13 July 2006 (PDT)

Template Updates
