One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

re: Fernando: I was wondering if it would be Jed! I was reading about his acting in The Thing (1982) semi-recently, fascinating stuff.

Jed!

...it probably says something about site culture that he gets a page before older, more famous acting dogs.

[up][up] I've already forgotten most of my thought process behind making a page for him, other than me remembering him after seeing a wolf on TV.

[up] Yes, that This Is a Wiki and nobody bothered to make a page for anyone else. Also, there is no Animal Actors index; I checked.

Nice! I never thought I'd see a page on an actor dog, although I haven't really looked for them.

Besides, the titular dog was played by six different canine actors over the course of the show according to Wikipedia.

I know “Air” Buddy also played the uncredited role of Fluke in Fluke, so he might be worth a page in the future. Terry also appeared in a lot of movies, but was only credited in The Wizard of Oz and even then not under his own name.

Rin Tin Tin was a pretty famous dog actor who was in multiple movies. Maybe he could have his own page?

Non-existent pages can have videos attached to them so I am not surprised that they can also have reviews and live blogs.

The more I frequent this thread the more I become convinced this site’s code is held together with string, paperclips and chewing gum.

It is.

Though in this case it feels like a feature more than a bug. The real issue is that all fanfic reviews are linked in the Fanfic Recs namespace, which is an old Eddie decision I think but may as well be a glitch.

I got back from being out of town a couple of hours ago, and...

...there are glitched reviews and liveblogs as well? We previously discussed pages/ghost wicks that don't have a namespace (not even Main/), like IceHeart, and now these are more things that prevent that glitched forum thread from being unique.

I often get frustrated whenever I try to contribute to work pages because I don't watch films and the such in English, so I get a bit paranoic thinking that I wrote the name of a location in a different way than of the original version.

oh hey how are you doing?
