Not left a message here in a while! Just to note that I've updated the above file's image summary. Looking back on it, i think we could easily re-word it and use it on all the screenshots which FelixCheng added. I think this is a task we could set about doing. Anyone interested?
As always, responses are welcome. --SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 16:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Regarding size of "List of..." pages - possible solution
Hi again, I've thought of a possible solution to the problem with the size of the "List of..." pages (List of minor TUGS characters, List of recurring TUGS characters), where I think that the Lists are way to big in size (I mentioned it at the recurring page a while ago).
How about instead of having a new Level 3 heading for every character ===Like this===, we simply add the characters in bold text, with a short description, in one paragraph? It would be sort of like what's going on on the Bigg City Port page, here's what i think i mean:
Name of Fleet/Boat type
- Name of Fleet/Boat type character 1: Short description of character 1.
- Name of Fleet/Boat type character 2: Short description of character 2.
- Name of Fleet/Boat type character 3: Short description of character 3.
Now, i see what everyone would be thinking (Lunacy! Madness!), but here's my justification for this.
- The "short description" section allows us to really cut out the crap of the characters. I mean, think how simple it would be. We wouldn't need to include a full description of some adventure the character has had, we could put that on List of TUGS episodes, under the episode in question. It could just be "They do this, they were in this". Really concise!
- The contents page of the article would be small, as opposed to the gigantic one currently over at the two list of pages.
- It sort of reflects what happened in the TUGS AfD, they said that all these characters didn't need their own pages, I suppose I'm just taking it one step further.
- A lot of links to the page could be more general, pages linking to "List of TUGS characters#Fleet/Boat type" would be more useful that "List of TUGS characters#Individual character".
The funny thing is, i think it's quite similar to what's going on over at the Theodore Tugboat page. But trust me we are not in cahoots. I think i'm probably going to go about doing this, as I think its a very good idea. If anyone disagrees, feel free to comment. Now, if anyone is looking for stuff to do in relation to the project, there are two things which will spring up instantly as a result of these actions:
- Since we're hopefully now going to be covering each character in a few lines, there would be no need for all the character images (you can see a full list at Category:WikiProject TUGS articles) so we could probably go about deleting alot of them. This would include all of the Star Fleet images, as they can be covered in one single image (Star Fleet Full.png). A similar image could probably be worked out for the Z's, as well as maybe a few compilation images of the Barges, Liners etc.
- There's going to be a hell of a lot of links which need to be redirected, as I've already outlined above. And I know its stupid since I've probably only recently finished fixing the links from when i rearranged everything before, but hey, price of perfection and all that.
I'll leave anyone reading this to mull it over. Bit of an interesting one this. --SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 03:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- BRAVO!!! I like your thinking, it really is a great idea. ZEM talk to me! 18:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
