Talk:Terrynate

"Yes, we know who you are."
Not sure how it should be presented (I'm used to just adding or clarrifying bulletpoints, not adding whole paragraphs or sections), but we can all agree this is a very clear reference to Terry Nation, lord and creator of the Pepperpots, right? I feel like that should be noted on the page somewhere. (Tho, I don't know if it should go in the BTS section or a newly added Notes section). Unless the reference is simply too overt to mention? (I'm not too familiar with the wiki policies.) Noob Sunrider ☎  18:15, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * A behind the scenes note should be fine. 📯 📂 18:36, 1 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Just to be clear, User:Epsilon the Eternal is not an admin. As an admin, I am pointing out that we don't usually post references to things unless there is some kind of source; otherwise we would have chaos with people adding things that they think are references.

 * Yeah, I too feel that Epsilon is jumping the gun here. The fact that the name is a reference to Terry Nation is obvious enough to be recorded in BTS (although phrased as simply "The name is reminiscent of…", not "The name is intentionally a reference to…"). But it definitely shouldn't be suggested that there exists any in-universe relationship between Terrynate and Terry Nation, the way it currently is on the page.

 * Wow, @Shambala108, I didn't know that only Admins are allowed to advise any user about anything. New to me.
 * As for Terrynate being a reference to Terry Nation, yeah, I think it's pretty clear that its intended to be an homage to Terry Nation. Don't need to be Hercule Poirot to figure that out. Granted, I should have phrased it on the page better.
 * And hold on a tickety-boo, I have seen numerous occasions where this practice of saying "notably, a guy called x y z did something" on a page where a character is obviously meant to be another character has been done all across the Wiki - don't come down on me ffs, when I was following what I believed was perfectly acceptable. 📯 📂 00:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
