Talk:100 Things to Do Before High School

First episode

Look all I did was change the number of the pilot episode from 1 to 1-2, and bumped all the other episode numbers up to correspond, because that's obviously how it should be!! That's all I did, how was that disruptive in any way?! Seriously, I'm just trying to make the episode list accurate here! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobotAndMonsterIsAwesome (talk • contribs) 06:55, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

How about providing a source to back up your claims? As I stated in my revert, many shows that have a sneak peek several months in advance, such as this and Henry Danger, have an episode that is an hour--or 40~ minutes without commercials. Amaury (talk) 07:01, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

The first episode was a single episode special, not a separable multipart episode. One set of credits means one episode not two. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:15, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

As Much as I agree with RobotAndMonsterIsAwesome, the issue differs from what the network orders from orders then broadcasts. I don’t follow this show, but for instance in Henry Danger The network ordered 20 episodes then brought the order up to 26 episodes. So when Nick airs the episode The Danger Begins it airs as an hour, but uses 2 of those episodes that were ordered in the first place. Those 2 episodes are then combined into an hour show. This issue is not only on Wikipedia, but sites like TV.com, IMDB, Itunes and other sites. So know you are then saying that 25 episodes have aired in reality 26 episodes have aired. This is ongoing problem for Nick and Disney shows for years. But I think the best thing to do is say somewhere in the article the difference in numbers like what was done for Sam and Cat. But also The info is backed up by the production company page like in Schneider's Bakery which has the information on the production side of things. Same thing goes with this show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WP Editor 2012 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I was checking iTunes and Amazon for episode info and found that both of those locations are selling the first episode as a 44 minute movie, not an episode. Both places are pricing this as a $12.99 movie, not a $2.99 22 minute TV episode or $4.99 44 min episode. See iTunes and Amazon. The series itself is shown to start with "Start a Garage Band Thing" - see iTunes and Amazon. This all conflicts with Futon Critic which shows this as the first episode but still, with the large gap I think we could classify the first episode as not part of the series and as a stand-alone movie called 100 Things to Do Before High School not as the first ep of the series called "Special". Opinions? Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:24, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Were you still wanting feedback on this? Looking at the episode guides, I also don't see it listed, unlike Henry Danger's "The Danger Begins" which premiered on July 26, 2014. That was also an hour special before the show began its regular airing on September 13, 2014, but I don't know if it was advertised as a movie or not. 100 Things to Do Before High School first aired as a movie on November 11, 2014, but it didn't begin its regular airing until May 30, 2015. I suppose we could move it out of the episode table and list is as a special like we have done on Girl Meets World and Make It Pop. My question is if we do that, do we still list the series' start date as November 11, 2014? Does the movie still count toward that or would it be changed to May 30, 2015?

@Amaury: It's been a while, best to leave article it as is now as we are using Futon as our primary reference for this and that is what Futon shows. Zap2it doesn't list the movie as an episode same as Amazon and iTunes, so looks like Futon is the outlier on this one. It could be moved out of the episode table and called a movie that is not part of the series. That would mean series would start with the episode on May 30, 2015. Looks like they first made a movie as a stand-alone project/pilot then created a series from that. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:52, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

changing the image in the info box, please share your opinion

hello everybody and thank you for helping Wikipedia improving for better. I think that the image in the in the info-box looks so old with it's very low resolution and the way the main characters appears in it so I thought about changing it to this one file:Property-header-100-480x270.png but my edits was reverted more like twice, so I need your opinion to change it, what do you think? shorouq★kadair 👱 (talk) 19:43, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

@Super ninja2: One problem was that you have not provided a fair use rationale (see the other image page, the same should apply to your image – it is not really a screenshot from the show, rather promotional material released by the network, but that was not the main issue). But I think the current image is better as yours seems too small in the infobox, and if we increase the size that makes the infobox too wide. (Also, I have fixed your file link – use a colon for linking to a file, and even if you meant to display it, non-free images have restrictions on where they can be displayed.) nyuszika7h (talk) 19:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see you've added a non-free use rationale, though {{Non-free promotional}} would be better for the license template (and I presume when you said "high resolution" you meant "low resolution"). nyuszika7h (talk) 20:07, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

I still prefer the original image. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:13, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, me too, I'm just stating that the issue with the NFUR seems to be (mostly) resolved. nyuszika7h (talk) 20:16, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

"Featuring" credits

In the end credits there are "Guest starring", "Co-starring" and then "Featuring". Not sure if the last one is meant to be a significant role or not. nyuszika7h (talk) 09:17, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

In the pilot movie, they use "Cast" instead of "Featuring". One actor I've noticed in that list so far who may be somewhat significant is Raajeev Aggerwhil who is listed as a recurring character (Mr. Bored), though I haven't checked the roles of the other "Featuring" actors. (And the Froman twins are only credited as "co-starring" as well.) nyuszika7h (talk) 09:46, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Usually credits types are in order of importance which would mean "Featuring" is a lower credit level than "Co-starring" for this show. If the actor's character was important enough to the story to be mentioned in the edit summary might be best to add that actors name in perenthesis after the first mention of his character in the summary and leave out a "featuring" listing at the end. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:03, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

@Geraldo Perez: Yeah, that's what I was thinking – especially since in one episode, I saw at least 5 people getting a "Featuring" credit, so that makes it even more likely that those are mostly meant to be minor roles. (Also, I guess you meant "episode summary" rather than "edit summary".) nyuszika7h (talk) 10:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Special, pilot, or both?

The Futon Critic reports "Special," while Zap2it reports "Pilot." Calling something a special of course doesn't preclude it from also being a pilot, but what would be best here? I have both listed for now. Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:43, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Additionally, based on Nickelodeon's advertising and the first discussion above, I think the first episode could have its own special section, akin to "Girl Meets Demolition." Even Amazon supports this, as seen here. Notice how Special/Pilot is not is listed there. It instead has its own page, as seen here. However, that doesn't resolve the issue of whether it's a special or pilot. But again, calling something a special does not preclude it to also being a pilot. I guess we fall back to our sources here? Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:49, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
