With FB down today, I'm doing something I've been thinking about for awhile: Starting a discord server.
No idea if it'll gain traction with the general community, but I would like to at least use it for people to communicate about the Wiki and doing content/development.
Swing by if you're interested! https://discord.gg/xHJEmvcrCT
Working on a project with guest episodes and discovered that episode 1605 is labled as a guest episode but doesn't seem to have a guest in the description? I flipped through the episode when i had a spare moment but didn't find any brief appearances.
@Bakersandbest , looks like you added the guest category to the page, can you verify?
Heads up that I'm going through and standardizing headers, cleaning up markup, and generally getting everything in order before doing the template refactor.
No timeline on the refactor yet, but I was researching how episode page formatting has evolved over the years so that the script that I'll eventually run can account for every potential variation- and in the process found some low-hanging fruit i can easily locate and fix.
I don't really understand how this works so I'm not going to touch it. Seems like a lower priority item especially since Chris has a lot on his plate already. I just wanted to flag it as it appears to not auto-update

I need to get a hold of the admins but it seems that they haven't been active for awhile. I'm creating a new bot to do some mass editing but that account will need bot user rights which requires one of them to grant it.
Anyone know how to reach them?
UPDATE: Got a hold of one, all good here!
I'm playing around with wikimedia API and I've encountered a "unexpected character: " error once every 100 or so episodes or so when trying to convert from HTML to JSON
I've encountered it at episodes 1152, 1500, 1584 and 1637 (and I haven't really pulled anything older than that). I took a quick glance and didn't see the obvious error but I'll look again later. If anyone else has more experience with this sort of stuff, I'd love a second pair of eyes.
Edit: full list with this error (201 & 387 391 396 & 466 & 467 & 498 & 500 & 515 & 549 & 552 & 635 & 704 & 744 & 996 & 1020 & 1146 & 1152 & 1500 & 1637 & 1584)
So I was looking at figuring out my next project after doing the chrome extension, and wanted to know if it would be okay to take a crack at redoing the front page? Make it a layout with a sidebar and some organized links for more frequently viewed articles?
Does anyone know the app or extension that Ben uses while watching MLB TV that gives him alerts for things happening, like when Otani is up, etc.?
Thanks!
