Progress

"That's twice this thing has failed now. Do we just not have a big enough following for this to work, or is this not a good idea? If it fails again, I'll probably discontinue this"

No, it's totally working, we just need a judge to check each page at midnight to actually remove the incomplete tag, because NONE of us are comfortable doing it ourselves 199.27.128.66 21:18, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

I can totally do that. I'm checking all these anyways at the changeover. It'll just take a wee bit longer to read them. Davidy²²[talk] 00:24, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Um, it's been stuck on 503: Terminology for three days. Is something wrong? 199.27.128.66 18:51, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I had final exams and this slipped my mind. My bad, switch'd. Davidy²²[talk] 23:08, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Can we do 256 soon? I've nearly got it done, but there's a few bits, like "The Lonely Island", "The Wet Sea" and "Chasm" which I'm really not sure if I'm missing something obvious. I can probably have the framework fully in place soon. 141.101.98.149 05:13, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm loath to do it so soon after chucking Online Communities 2 at people. I'll do it in a few days. Davidy²²[talk] 15:36, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

When ready, it's actually just a small bit more work to be completely done, which would be a rather good thing for one of the large images. =) 141.101.99.235 05:42, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Finished it today. 141.101.99.235 12:06, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

843 should be the Incomplete Explanation of the Day for February 4th. It's just appropriate. 108.162.237.64 00:45, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't know where this is coming from, but sure. Why not? Davidy²²[talk] 01:55, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. February 4th will be the first Tuesday of the month, and that's the specific day of the month that that particular comic references. Since that comic's page still had the incomplete tag, I thought it would be a fun sort of meta-humor. 108.162.237.64 14:39, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Aaah I'll be doing that then. Davidy²²[talk] 01:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Things we can do after this is finished

Along with the 3 items already listed, should we add "explain" pages for each of the weekly "What If" pages on xkcd?

This is requested a lot. I might make it a thing, but I'm reluctant to do so since they're already pretty self explanatory in themselves. Randall even cites all his sources and everything. I'm not quite sure what we could add to that. Davidy²²[talk] 06:24, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Adding dates to every comic

The dates for every comic is in the tooltip for cominc 45 onwards on http://xkcd.com/archive/ -- Some of the comics are related to current events and it would be worth having every explain page containing a date. Spongebog (talk) 14:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

That's not limited to after we've finished every explanation though, we could do that right now if we had access to that information. Davidy²²[talk] 14:52, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Agreed -- I have created this page explain_xkcd:xkcd_by_date with the data -- keeping it up-to-date should be a bot task, but at least this is a start Spongebog (talk) 19:52, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't see any need for this new page. At the List of all comics you can sort by date and much more. And I prefer two different date formats: ISO (2014-08-11) or easy readable for humans (August 11, 2014). --Dgbrt (talk) 21:41, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Humm.. good point, didn't see that page -- Im not sure how to delete it again. Davidy22? Spongebog (talk) 22:26, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Done and done. Davidy²²[talk] 02:39, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Incomplete Explanation of the Day???

"Incomplete Explanation of the Day" -- these are now staying around for weeks or a month without changing, so maybe they should be called something else, like "Incomplete Explanation currently needing attention" 199.27.133.6 02:59, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

That would probably be apt. I'll change it next rotation. Davidy²²[talk] 03:06, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

As there are currently 17 different pages needing attention, what's stopping us from having the need of the day rotate among those different pages? Pmw57 (talk) 00:12, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Partially laziness, partially the current one not being completed. Davidy²²[talk] 09:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

XKCD Fandom

It's time somebody said it.

XKCD needs a fandom name. -- FandomsForever (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Congress

The full transcript would likely make the page overlong, so it's as complete as it can get. 108.162.215.163 09:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
