"Bad Blood"

The episode "Bad Blood", is actually episode ten. I have it on DVD.

Are you sure that's not a mistake on the part of whomever authored the DVD? The sources I can find say that it aired after Closure chronologically. Connor Behan (talk) 23:15, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To List or Not to List

Dear anonymous editor. I see that you removed several actors from the "recurring cast" list. First, I need to let you know about two things in case you make changes like this in the future: 1. The characters I had listed were in alphabetical order by last name. After your change they were not anymore. Please be careful. 2. Almost all SVU season pages use "Det." for "detective" in their "principal cast" section. When you did away with that abbreviation for Cassidy and Briscoe, it made the article more inconsistent.

Now, something else you might not know is that I am in the process of revamping SVU season pages as detailed in the task force. Before doing that, I requested input from an active L&O editor MelbourneStar. If you think that 5 episodes is the appropriate rule of thumb for a guest actor to be considered a recurring actor, please make your case for it there. If you wish to do this, you should also make sure that you have enough energy to edit every season page to reflect this.

Before I started this editing (I am on season 6 right now), there were already several SVU season pages that broke your rule: see Calvin Arliss in season 12 (3 episodes), Vivian Arliss in season 12 (2 episodes), Sonya Paxton in season 12 (2 episodes), David Haden in season 13 (4 episodes), Bayard Ellis in season 13 (4 episodes) and Leo Gerber in season 13 (2 episodes). 2 episodes appears to be the threshold required by most L&O editors so I will keep using this unless some other consensus is reached.

Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
