[edit] Colors

The color combination used in template makes my eyes bleed. This template needs better colors. utcursch | talk 12:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bikini Bottom

All of the specific locations have since been redirected. I don't know where Bikini Bottom should be linked, because it would look funny just as its own row. Anyone have an idea? I (talk) 23:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

The whole thing should just be redirected or merged into a tiny setting subsection of the main article. It is just a giant OR and cruft magnet otherwise. TTN (talk) 23:35, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess that section already exists, so it should just be redirected. TTN (talk) 23:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

You mean the Bikini Bottom article? I'd rather leave that one. We cut a bunch of other articles, and my redirects have stuck, and I'd not like to redirect this article without discussing it first, and I'd still support keeping it. It could do with some scissors though. I (talk) 23:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It really is not a large enough topic to stand on its own. After removing all of the OR, it barely pushes a few paragraphs. The whole thing is just a pieced together ball of OR and cruft from the various episodes. Anyways, I'm just suggesting it, so you can do whatever you would like.

[edit] Teletoon

When did the show air on Teletoon? To the best of my knowledge, the show only airs on YTV in Canada. 99.230.152.143 (talk) 01:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I removed the mention of Teletoon from the template,currently. 99.230.152.143 (talk) 02:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
