Talk:Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn/Transcripts
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Tabs unnecessary
Splitting them into parts (using tabs) is useless since the final content is one single 90-minute film. I suggest moving back to the previous format. That or we stop transcribing and just place the videos, just like how I did with the videos for Halo 2 Collector's Edition if the transcript is "ridiculously long".— subtank 10:57, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
- The page is already long with just one transcript, just imagine how much longer it will be when we have the full 90 minutes as opposed to the 15-20 we have right now. I would be more in favor of your video suggestion.--Spartacus 11:02, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
- If someone still feels that this is necessary, put the entire script in a
.txt
file or a.pdf
file and we'll put the download link in the main page. — subtank 11:06, 18 October 2012 (EDT)- Oops, default sig there. Lets just do that then, but I'm not an image guru, so how would I do that if I was able to?--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 11:14, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
- Microsoft Word or LibreOffice should come with a PDFCreator (located under the file drop-down menu) or at least the ability to export the document as PDF.— subtank 11:46, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
- The pdf file idea sounds great, but that would mean editors need to get the original word file if they want to edit one single word. But before anyone makes a pdf file, I would suggest we finish all the transcripts here on this page first, and then those who wants to put the transcripts in a pdf file can have a general template to start with, then they place the file link here.—S331

- I figured this would be the case when I finished Part I, I think the video option would be best, but that's my opinion.File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 12:20, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

(Reset indent) Ok, so how about we do this: We leave the transcipts the way they are now until the full thing comes out, then we implement either the pdf or video suggestion. What does everyone think about this?--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 13:26, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
