Talk:You

This article is very clever. Kudos, Starfield! --Jimsorenson 10:55, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

How incredibly stupid not to have thought of this myself! --Khajidha 11:15, 18 May 2010 (EDT) (What T.H. Huxley reference?)

Thanks! "You" was redlinked on some of the multipath adventure stories, so that's where I got the idea. - Starfield 11:37, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Damn you Starfield, I've been planning this page (by adding the redlinks) for weeks. Now I'm drunk I don't have the wherewithal to augment it, but I will be back. --Emvee 18:58, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Noname?

Should this get a noname template? While you may have a name, AFAIK it's never mentioned in any of the books. Also did any of the books with illustrations show the reader character? --abates 18:23, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

You are illustrated on the cover of Island of Fear. I can't remember offhand if you're illustrated anywhere else (I've been trying to get my scanner to co-exist with Vista unfruitfully in any case) but a crop of that image could serve as the mainpic. --Emvee 18:58, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Tough call. You do have a name, so you aren't nameless. The fiction just doesn't ever use your name. I don't think noname is appropriate, exactly. - Starfield 20:43, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

I don't think that the noname is needed. This use is not really in the spirit of the template.--Jimsorenson

That's logical to me. I also considered putting a "Your name is <entry box>." line on the page, but MediaWiki doesn't let you use form tags on a page. --abates 20:53, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Oh, clever. What about displaying the wiki username instead? Something like "You, sometimes known as <<wikiuserid>>, are a human from the ..."--Jimsorenson 21:00, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

That doesn't seem to be possible either (a privacy thing, I imagine!) --abates 22:40, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

"You, ________________, are a human (presumably)..." -hx 12:41, 19 May 2010 (EDT)
