::Almost! The website link is showing up now, but the actual list of guests has disappeared: [[Harmontown No. 1: Achieve Weightlessness]] Also, RE: the discussion on [[Category_talk:Podcast_Episode]], any issue with me adding a [[Category:Podcast_Episode]] super-category to the ''*Episode'' categories you've been using for the episodes of other podcasts?

:::You can add the [[:Category:Podcast_Episode]] category to podcast episodes. To edit articles in mass, use [[Special:MassEditRegex]]. Also, in order to simply wikilink to a category instead of adding the talk page to that category, use : before category in the wikilink. I'm not sure what is exactly the problem with [[Template:Infobox_podcast_episode]], however I will continue working on it until it works.

:::I fixed the issue of the guests not appearing in the podcast episode infobox by merging the guests section with the main information section
:::I have added the episode categories for three of the other podcasts to [[:Category:Podcast_Episode]]. Cortex and The Pen Addict don't have their episode articles categorized yet like the other podcasts do.

== System administrator has communicated their intent to remove certain cross-wiki redirects ==
Last month, a system administrator named [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Reception123 Reception123] left a [[User talk:Hapsbro|message on my talk page]] informing me of their intent to remove certain cross-wiki redirects to Podpedia. While I personally have no objections to this, I thought it would be best to let you know as well. [[User:Hapsbro|Hapsbro]] ([[User talk:Hapsbro|talk]]) 05:01, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
== Articles ==
Hey Coolster! You could help me out by putting together an outline on which pages I can create. I couldn't find an article to do and expand it (3284 articles) and our goal is to reach 3300, but I can't find an article to create/start, because my podcast style is different [[User:YellowFrogger|YellowFrogger]] ([[User talk:YellowFrogger|talk]]) 16:38, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
:In terms of formatting that I would recommend, [[Portal:HelloInternet|Timpedia]] for Hello Internet was always the core of the effort put into the wiki, with much of the rest being imported from Wikipedia in the hopes that there would eventually be enough interest in it to expand on that content. In regards to the content of that section of Podpedia specifically, each episode of a podcast was intended to make use of an infobox with standardized information, with a standardized layout of several sections, such as a summary, links to subjects discussed in an episode, and an episode transcript. Other pages would document the most recent episodes, a list of episodes in general, and articles for specific subjects repeatedly discussed over the course of a podcast's run. In retrospect, much of Podpedia's content should really be deleted and improved upon with a better layout and ideas from someone who listens to a wide variety of podcasts (I generally only listened to two myself). As I only had experience in article copyediting when I created Podpedia, I borrowed quite a few templates from other wikis, which could perhaps be improved upon to better suit the needs of this wiki. While I wouldn't say my own abilities with templates have improved much since then, if you have ideas on how you think the wiki as a whole should be structured, I'd be glad to put what I've learned in improving my new wiki to use here. In my opinion, the goal of the wiki should be to focus on not just documenting podcast episodes, but writing articles for podcasts and notable subjects discussed within and about them that would otherwise not qualify for Wikipedia's notability requirements; rather than trying to compete with Wikipedia on general subjects to which it already has articles, creating articles of a similar caliber to emphasize quality over the sheer number of articles that the wiki has.

::Sorry for the inactivity. I'm doing other things and little time [[User:YellowFrogger|YellowFrogger]] ([[User talk:YellowFrogger|talk]]) 17:01, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
:::No worries! There's so much I'd like to add to my other wikis yet so little time to do so; on the bright side, editing articles periodically rather than all at once also helps to avoid burnout. If you ever have any questions, feel free to notify me again as needed. [[User:CoolieCoolster|CoolieCoolster]] ([[User talk:CoolieCoolster|talk]]) 20:21, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
