I recommend a Wikia is to be built.
 
The character pages on Wikipedia have extended descriptions of each character, thereby making the main characters article 33KB and the secondary characters one 49KB. Goo's section is being ridiculously handled too, because of her number of season 4 appearances. (Then again, her section is shorter than Cheese's. Even though she now appears on the BFAHP ads that show at the end of FHFIF showings as with what happened yesterday afternoon.)

You mean a Foster's Wiki page, right? :-/

Master Knight DH 08-22-2006 01:33 PM

Well, I believe so, if I'm correctly guessing the context of what you said, but I might not be. This is where Wikias can be started. You'd have to use the request form.

Right now, I'm going to try to see if I can get a Wikia started for Nintendo's Wars series and Nectaris.

I can see that. People make wiki for almost everything - bands, web cartoons, star-trek... why not foster's?

I think it's a great idea to start a Foster's Wiki.

I think that (if no one minds... I don't want to steal anyone's idea without their permission), I might start one.

If I do make one, would anyone like to help???

EDIT: Goo is now on the main characters page...

Voxxyn 08-23-2006 07:57 AM

I'm all for that. Quite frankly, I'm displeased with some of the information on that page, ESPECIALLY with Frankie(I don't like the summary writeup about her on the main FHFIF page, because it makes her look like an arrogant, bratty diva who hates the imaginary friends... and named after Frank Black?). I'd alter it myself, but I'm afraid I'll get stung by the "Wikipedians".

And I don't get why Foster's gets shafted while Billy & Mandy has pages for every single character and episode.

lucyrocks73 08-23-2006 09:03 AM

What shall we call this Wiki?

Any ideas???

I want to start working on it...

Here's a totally stupid question: WHAT is a "wikia"? How is that different from the article on Foster's which appears on Wikipedia.com, and how will address most of all the huge amount of spam(especially where upcoming episodes are concerned)about the show that gets dumped on Wikipedia?

Go ahead and fix it. Just make sure you explain that your changes truer to Frankie's character (or site your source, like "in the episode ____ ..." etc) and no-one should give you any problems. I wrote a whole chunk of the Wilt bio, and no-one "stung" me :P

I think it's a separate Wikipedia-type thing where all the articles are Foster's related, like the Homestar Runner Wiki: http://www.hrwiki.org/
