New TBBT character articles

I'm in the midst of creating the new articles for the main TBBT characters, as was discussed briefly on the "List of TBBT characters" talk page previously. I have a limited time to work with at the moment, and after my edits there are still a lot of cite errors on the new articles due to cites not being complete (as they were simply copied from the original article). I will continue to fix these issues later today into tomorrow, but in the meantime welcome all other users to assist in the transition.

The original article, List of characters in The Big Bang Theory, can either be merged into The Big Bang Theory, or better yet, changed to incorporate the new articles (i.e., the full descriptions are removed in favor of shorter descriptions, and the list of secondary/tertiary characters remains. I recommend the latter, which I will do upon return to editing tomorrow. Thanks. — ^{`</sup>CRAZY`(lN)`SANE<sup>`} 17:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I question this character's notability, I do not think a recurring character should have an article on their own and this may want to stay on the main List article. The other recurring characters could be expanded to include info boxes such as Kurt, Dr. Eric Gablehauser and Dr. Stephanie Barnett so it doesn't look weird by it's self.

It was stated in the main The Big Bang Theory article that Leslie Winkle was a "main" character during the first season; she was demoted to a recurrent character once the writers realized they couldn't produce enough material for her. Personally, I'm fine with her being a main character. As for including separate pages for Kurt, Gablehauser, Barnett, etc. I disagree. Let's keep separate articles only for the main characters. Take a look at List of characters in The Big Bang Theory, it's shaping nicely to hold the information on the rest of the characters. 189.175.178.189 (talk) 15:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Leslie Winkle

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Leslie Winkle's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "S01E05":

• From Leonard Hofstadter: "The Hamburger Postulate". The Big Bang Theory. Season 1. Episode 6. October 22, 2007. {{cite episode}}: Unknown parameter |serieslink= ignored (|series-link= suggested) (help)
• From Sheldon Cooper: "The Hamburger Postulate". The Big Bang Theory. Season 1. Episode 5. October 22, 2007. {{cite episode}}: Unknown parameter |serieslink= ignored (|series-link= suggested) (help)

Reference named "S01E02":

• From Penny (The Big Bang Theory character): "The Big Bran Hypothesis". The Big Bang Theory. Season 1. Episode 2. October 1, 2007. {{cite episode}}: Unknown parameter |serieslink= ignored (|series-link= suggested) (help)
• From Sheldon Cooper: "The Big Brain Hypothesis". The Big Bang Theory. Season 1. Episode 2. October 1, 2007. {{cite episode}}: Unknown parameter |serieslink= ignored (|series-link= suggested) (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 10:36, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Restructuring the article: new sections

The articles of the main characters, Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Penny (The Big Bang Theory), Howard Wolowitz, and Rajesh Koothrappali, are growing in size but without a proper structure. I propose creating standard sections in which to put information: Personality, Family, Work, and Relationships. I believe the show centers mostly around these topics, so the information would fit nicely. I'm not saying these are the only sections that will ever be used, but they are a good start; perhaps they will need to be modified in the future. Also, let's keep the content complete but encyclopedic; there is no need for an indiscriminate collection of information. 189.175.178.189 (talk) 15:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Referencing episodes

I suggest using this format to reference the episodes

<ref name="S01E01">{{Cite episode
|title=Pilot
|episodelink=List of The Big Bang Theory episodes#ep1
|series=The Big Bang Theory
|serieslink=The Big Bang Theory
|airdate=September 24, 2007
|season=1
|number=1}}</ref>

as suggested in Template:Cite episode.

The "episodelink" field includes the link to the appropriate episode in this way List of The Big Bang Theory episodes#ep1. The number in "#ep1" refers to the continuous episode number in the series, not within a season. For example, The Griffin Equivalence is episode 4 of season 2, but it is referenced as List of The Big Bang Theory episodes#ep21.

The citation in the actual article may very well be in "horizontal" format.

<ref name="S01E01">{{Cite episode|title=Pilot|episodelink=... etc.

This has already been implemented in List of characters in The Big Bang Theory. 189.235.132.118 (talk) 17:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

is she really notable enough

I can't believe Leslie Winkle has her own article but Darlene Conner doesn't. For An Angel (talk) 00:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

"Oops" #REDIRECT: its destination [anchor] has apparently been re-named

In the Latest revision as of 13:58, 18 May 2024 version of this #REDIRECT [-type] article, the #REDIRECT command in the wikitext (which ... is pretty much 100% of the wikitext there) says: [QUOTE]:

#REDIRECT [[List of The Big Bang Theory franchise characters#Leslie]]

but

(I checked, -- using a clickable hyperlink that I found somewhere, which probably pointed to "Leslie Winkle")

and it seems that ... it does not work.

The "anchor" that this "#REDIRECT" seems to be "intended" to refer to (or, "point to") ... has probably been re-named. Now it is coded in the wikitext as a sub-sub-section name (surrounded by quadruple equal signs), and the name there is not "Leslie".

Perhaps that sub-sub-section name (or ... some other way of creating an "anchor") used to (?) be spelled "Leslie";
(or else maybe the "#REDIRECT" shown above never worked?);
but now that "anchor" is [created "using"] a sub-sub-section name, and now it is spelled "Leslie Winkle".

So, now ... the #REDIRECT should probably be changed, to say

#REDIRECT [[List of The Big Bang Theory franchise characters#Leslie Winkle]]

instead. (right?)
