Back to template

Font size Edit

Okay, this has been ticking me off forever. Is there a reason why the font on all these templates is eye-poppingly small? There's no need for it to be like this. --Pyramidhead 22:31, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

18 Episodes Edit

The season will have 18, the template should have 18 slots. DQ17 00:58, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

No, there will only be 16 episode articles. 6x01/02 (the premiere episode) is technically one episode like any other double finale. The same goes for 6x17/18 as the finale of the season. The name of the first episode article will be "(title) Parts 1 & 2", which I'm sure the press release will title the episode as. I do however think the template should be changed to list it as #01/02 instead of just 01 if possible.--Baker1000 01:19, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I kind of guessed that, but there should be an indication of the double episodes. DQ17 01:21, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Why don't we do that for all the other seasons? I just looked and the season 1 episodes are all Pilot part 1 and Pilot Part 2 and Exodus is the same LOST-Figg 14:38, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Pilot aired separated hours, the two hours weren't back to back. Same thing with Exodus, Part 1 aired a week before the two-hour part two. Also, the title of the clip show has been announced as being Lost: Beginning of the End and the navbox should be updated. cgmv123TalkContribsE-mail 14:34, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

The navbox currently says 6xrc1, it's Template:Ep that needs the updating. And in regards to this subject, I think 6x02 should be changed to LA X, Parts 1 & 2. I've asked for it on the talk page. Everyone is saying there will be 18 episodes, if we don't consider the premiere to be 01 and 02 it's going to cause a lot of confusion, plus make it look like there are only 17 episodes in Season 6.--Baker1000 17:51, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

How about we use "[[LA X, Parts 1 & 2|LA X, Part 1]]" for {{ep|6x01}} and "[[LA X, Parts 1 & 2|LA X, Part 2]]" for {{ep|6x02}}? --Pyramidhead 21:02, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, so 18 episodes, with 1&2 in 1 slot labelled #1. There will be a three part finale aired in 2 parts, so #16 should be part 1, with #17 being parts 2 and 3, surely?--CooperSimply 21:09, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Like I said, I did ask for 6x02 to be "LA X, Parts 1 & 2" but that has not happened. I suggest that if you want it to be changed, you give your reasons on Template talk:Ep/6x02. It just doesn't make sense why we consider "LA X, Part 1" as two episodes on every character appearance (see pages like Jack Shephard (alternate timeline) but we count it as one episode number on Template:Ep. Plus the fact that most sites are calling "What Kate Does" 6.03, 603 or 6x03. It's just going to make editing (and discussion) very confusing if we refer to every episode after this as a different number to everyone else in the fan community. Forget the fact that it only has one set of credits (because finales do too, but they count as two episodes - see 4x14 which takes you to "There's No Place Like Home, Part 2"), DarkUFO posted the episode title spreadsheet from ABC which calls "LA X, Part 1" episode 104 and "LA X, Part 2" episode 105. There has been confirmation that 18 episodes will air this season but if we number the episodes in this way, there will only be 17 episodes according to Lostpedia. So, if you think we should change next weeks episode to 6x03, say so on Template talk:Ep/6x02 and give your reasons.--Baker1000 21:28, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

6x01 and x02 centricity Edit

Let's note it as various. There were flashes of a kind, and from a few distinct characters (Jack, Kate, Locke, Jin & Sun, arguably Hurley)...--Golden Monkey 04:42, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Reported Centricities from TV Guide Edit

EDIT: I'm new here, so I'm not sure if this is considered a spoiler.

The February 15-28, 2010 TV Guide magazine reportedly is saying that the February 23 episode is ***-centric. Also it says that the March 9th episode is ***-centric, the March 16th episode is ***-centric, the March 23rd episode is ***-centric, and that the March 30th episode is *** centric. This can all be found on page 2, 6, and 7 of the February 15-28, 2010 issue of TV Guide, incase anybody would like to add it to the template. So, to recap:

Of course, this may be incorrect, but it came from the producers, so I'm inclined to believe it. --RetianFes 22:08, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Lostpedia. Centric character information is considered a spoiler by the site spoiler policy so we don't add them until after the episode has aired. I have removed them from your message, but I do believe those are correct, DarkUFO has them listed on his site. Although it may turn out differently upon viewing the episode.--Baker1000 23:53, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

6x03 centricity Edit

This hasn't been listed as kate yet. --SandlasJuagas 11:40, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Seperate Articles? Edit

Now that we are listing the Finale, etc as two, three episodes shouldn't we make individual articles? Otherwise this looks pretty weird. Shortguy457 23:48, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

It does look weird, but it's consistent with our practice of keeping as single articles shows that were written as one piece and were first aired together on the same night in the U.S. Robert K S tell me 00:02, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

When and where was it decided that we should have the finales split on the nav templates?--Baker1000 00:32, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Finales are being split on the nav templates for consistency. We have "LA X, Part 1" and "LA X, Part 2" on the Season 6 nav both linking to the SAME page ("LA X, Parts 1 & 2"), so the same thing has been done to the finales. -- CTS Talk Contribs 00:49, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

This doesnt really need to be discussed i feel this is the best way the sysops could handle episodes like LAX. -- B1G CZYGS Talk Contribs 01:59, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Series finale Edit

I thought it was 3 parts, according to some interview with Darlton? 16 is part 1, 17/18 are parts 2 & 3...I recall this but can't recall from where. --Golden Monkey 13:05, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

I also read that it would be a 3 part finale spread over two broadcasts.--Baker1000 13:17, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

"Locke" Edit

The alternate reality focuses on John Locke. However, the main timeline clearly focuses not on Locke himself, but on the dark entity. Teh Rote 14:08, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re-collapse Edit

When was it decided to leave this un-collapsed? cgmv123TalkContribsE-mail 22:35, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sundown Edit

Why hasn't it been switched to "Sayid" yet? --Golden Monkey 12:50, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
Seconded- should be changed to Sayid.--Frank J Lapidus 21:04, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Thirded, it should be changed by now.--Baker1000 23:56, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Fourth-ed. It should be changed by now. I was going to change it when I saw the page was locked. RevanFan 02:25, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

A fifth (of MacCutcheon whisky, perhaps?). (I posted below before realizing that it was already being discussed here.) —Josiah Rowe 08:37, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sixth-ed Surely someone should have changed it by now--IsSuchAGeek 16:15 March 4, 2010

Seriously? Nobody who can edit locked pages has seen this? How has it not been changed yet? --Golden Monkey 16:20, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Odd. Especially since the next episode's name was added.--Tim Thomason 16:38, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

The name of the next episode is added to a separate template, which is linked to this one. Even so, it's still taken too long to do this. It's not like the centricity was left unclear.--Baker1000 17:39, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Seventh-ed. --Fixman 00:58, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Eight-ed. I noticed that an user can edit this page. I notified him about this problem but I got no response. --Dr. James (4 8 15 16 23 42) 04:09, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Nine-ed (Seriously, we should stop doing the "ed" stuff) Only the established user (and it took me a while for me to get to that level in Wikipedia) can edit it, or maybe an administrator. Why in the world hasn't it been changed yet?! Jal11497 11:59, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. It was pretty obvious it was about Sayid! --Dr. James (4 8 15 16 23 42) 01:20, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Finally! It's changed. RevanFan 02:39, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

What Kate Does Edit

Shoudn't it be "Kate & Claire"?--NiveKen13 13:45, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
- No, Kate is the main focus for the whole episode, and all of the flash-sideways are from her point of veiw. Claire only appears in a few flash-sideways, and only when she is with Kate. It's the same reason "House of the Rising Sun" is just Sun and not Sun & Jin.--Baker1000 18:44, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Dr. Linus Edit

So how long will it take to change this week? :P --Golden Monkey 15:48, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Probably another 2 weeks. Just kidding. RevanFan 16:20, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

The centricity link for Ben directs to his flash-sideways timeline character page. This goes against the current pattern of linking the characters' original timeline pages, so let's fix this. --Jacknicholson 13:10, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't even notice that. Yes, it should be changed.--Baker1000 13:32, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Finale, Parts 1 and 2 Edit

They officially named the finale on this week's podcast. Should the template be changed to reflect this?--Yuefairchild 18:21, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

No, we don't add the title of the episode until it is the next one to air. See LP:SP. While the title is not spoilerish, and doesn't give anything away, we have to respect the people who don't wish to know until it is the next episode. Please don't post it again, especially not in a section heading.--Baker1000 20:18, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry! I didn't realize people were that serious about spoilers. I remember The Incident being added as the title around this time last year, is all. I won't do it again, promise! --Yuefairchild 02:51, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

It's an easy mistake to make! But if it was up to me, we would allow it. I don't consider episode titles spoilers, and especially not the finale title. Some people have complained in the past, so we decided not to allow any titles except the upcoming one. The Incident was added in May last year, after Follow the Leader had aired.--Baker1000 16:50, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Adding Episode Titles Edit

Personally, I disagree. Now that the rest of the Season 6 episode titles have been released, I think they should be posted. They are not spoiler related by nature and they provide solid incite to where the season is going as well as a basis for theories. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rocohen (talk • contribs) 2010-03-29T14:13:27.

If you wish to discuss whether or not titles are spoilers, you should bring it up on LP:SP. Personally, I don't think they are but I respect the opinion of people who do. And if you ask me, with so little left of the season I don't think there is much point in changing the policy now.--Baker1000 19:21, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

The episode titles may have been released, but I can guarantee you that posting them here is prohibited (except for the next episode) and that doing so will get you banned, not necessarily by me.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 21:28, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

6x13 centricity Edit

Various? I thought it was Jack-centric, especially as he appears to be the title character (the Last Recruit). --Butseriouslyfolks 04:00, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

The nav at the top lists the flash-centricity (when possible) and Jack was not the main focus of the flash-sideways this week. Damon and Carlton even said on the podcast last week that there is no solo centric in this episode.--Baker1000 19:47, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Besides, only half of the flash-sideways story (Claire/Locke/Jack) was about him. The other half (Sayid/Sawyer/Sun and Jin) was about the Keamy/Omar abduction/murder arc. --Golden Monkey 19:54, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Candidate Centricity Edit

Seems clear to be Jack/Locke, most heavily on the side of Locke. Even most of the Jack only scenes were about Locke and his history. Ao-bōzu 青坊主 * Talk * Contributions

Lost: The Final Journey Edit

Can a SysOp add the retrospective special Lost: The Final Journey, announced in this press release to the season 6 nav? Cheers. Jimbo the Tubby talk contributions 04:36, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

I created the article when I heard the title. As you can see if you click the red link, the page was deleted and then locked because apparently it is a spoiler. I think that is just being pedantic, really. It's a clip show, it spoils nothing. I don't know anyone who considers a recap title to be a spoiler, and the title is no more spoilerish than Lost: Final Chapter. It's basically just taking the name of the first clip show Lost: The Journey and telling you it is the final recap. We've always made the clip show articles long before they air, even after we clamped down on episode titles as spoilers in Season 4 and 5. It could be because the series finale is coming up, but I still think it's silly to consider it a spoiler. Either way, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.--Baker1000 19:51, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

6x15 centricity Edit

This is Jacob and MIB centric, not just MIB. Aside from the fact that it told both of their stories, there were scenes with just Jacob and Mommie Dearest. --Butseriouslyfolks 02:28, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed! Please fix. --Jackdavinci 06:04, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Finale title Edit

Why is the last ep still listed as "Series Finale"? It was announced a while back.

Cap'n Calhoun 00:57, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. I'm linking the pages (6x17, 6x18) to this. Avindratalkcontribs email 22:55, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if you were to kindly refer to the spoiler policy, you will see why we haven't added the name yet. We only add episode titles when they are the next to be aired, so by those rules we won't put the name up until after "What They Died For" on Tuesday night, the same as we have been doing all season long, and since Season 4. There are people out there who consider episodes titles as spoilers, and while I disagree we should respect their wishes. A lot of people especially don't want to know the name of the finale. So, I have to remove the title of this section heading as per the policy. Sorry, but thems the rules. After tomorrow night, all episode titles will be freely available to view on the site and this won't matter. I'm sure you can wait until then.--Baker1000 23:13, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

The New Man in Charge Edit

Can we have the epilogue added to the nav please. Mhtm ghnd....talk 03:35, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, we should definitely have Thew New Man in Charge added to the Navbox.. -- Blackout0189 talk contribs email 15:03, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
Also can we have the nav box for Lost: Missing Pieces put between season 3 and 4. --Anfield Fox|talk|contributions 12:46, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

How about adding TNMIC after "The End" in the list, but without an episode number? It logically belongs at the end of the list, but giving it an episode number would be misleading. — Lawrence King ^(talk) 19:11, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Naturally. The template for it isn't 6x18, it's just "EP" so we should write that.--Baker1000 19:29, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I added it after "The End" and labelled it as an epilogue, similar to how the recaps are listed. It does not have an episode number. Jabberwock talk contribs email - 21:05, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

An even better idea. Thanks.--Baker1000 22:39, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Great but why isn't TMP between S3 and 4? A nav box for them already exists. Lost: Missing Pieces --Anfield Fox|talk|contributions 23:15, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed the Missing Pieces Nav Box should be linked in. Mhtm ghnd....talk 04:27, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

The link to "The New Man in Charge" needs to be fixed. Either the page should be moved to all caps, or the title here should be "The New Man in Charge" (not "The New Man In Charge").--Tim Thomason 05:16, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Good spot, I didn't even notice that. There's not need to change the article title, I think the correct grammar is with a lowercase "I". The template must be changed.--Baker1000 12:21, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Probably, but the "correct" grammar is whatever the producers called the epilogue. I don't have season six. Some please verify and I'll act.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 14:40, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Missing Pieces Edit

A link to Missing Pieces needs to be added at the top between S3 & S4 Rachel P 01:08, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
