Talk:Thomas & Friends series 11

Hopper vs Hector
There seems to be a certain amount of web-rumour around that there will be a new character by the name of 'Hector'. This may, or may not, be the case, but it is purely speculation unless supported by Reliable Sources.

Also, please do not modify the quote taken from the World Screen interview with Alison Homewood. This is a direct quote from the web page and, even if it is 'wrong', should not be modified.

Edits not complying with these requests will be deleted from the article without further question.

I noticed a character called Hopper the Horrid on the Homewood page.

Lost References
Seeing as how these Season pages have so few references available, it seems a shame that the previously found web-references have been deleted. I would say that it is worth including almost anything official that allows a non-fan to determine whether the page contains fan-fiction or not. I'm sure it would be possible to include a 'Pre-season' section to incorporate this kind of information.

Remember, articles on WP must be supported by references from Reliable Sources, so the better the references, the more likely the page will avoid deletion!

This, I was going to try and add a section on references and add a citation that would have a little letter and/or number that would be about Engines and Escapades as mentioning those episodes dvd release date and then change their order and daters to when they were aired on TV NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 00:45, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Confirmed Characters/External Links section
Currently, no matter what your beliefs are on who will return this season, only characters mentioned by name in official summaries can be placed in the "Featured Characters" section. Here are some of the current issues:


 * Madge is a real character, but she hasn't been mentioned at all in these recaps. Therefore, her existence can't be cited. And even if she is proven to exist, there's no proof it'll be in this season. The only negativity of so much detail on the show's future is that not all of it fits into the grand scheme perfectly, and Wikipedia isn't the place to assume where Madge will be placed.


 * I've lost count of how many times Terence has been put on the Featured Characters list. Duck, Donald and Douglas have gone there too, among others. This is almost as bad as making up titles, which has also happened to the article. Please, only put down characters if their name first appears in a summary at WTTW (and that's a summary for this season. The web site has several mixed episodes. For a list of the Season 11 ones if you are unsure, leave a comment here.)


 * With the Narrow Gauge engines, we have word of at least some of them returning. However, Sir Handel is the only one mentioned by name, so he's currently the only one we can put. I believe that Skarloey, Duncan, Rusty and the others are bound to at least make a cameo, but the names have no sources, and can't be simply assumed.

Perhaps what would make it easier is a list of links at the bottom of the page - consisting of web sites that have the summaries. The one with the most (WTTW) is cited as the only source confirming characters like Rocky, Henrietta and Sir Handel. But if you find more that provide back info, please add them to the page.

I saw a spam episode called Toby on the Roof in the guide. It was deleted the next day. Thank goodness for WP:THOMAS. S.C.Ruffeyfan —Preceding comment was added at 12:39, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Oliver and Duck
I thought Oliver and Duck was going to be featured in this season.C.bonnick 12:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Not a word yet.It's just vandel trying to fool us...-SLJCOAAATR —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Well, they can't appear, S11 has already aired, they can't appear in the NG episodes, so let's hope there's no more vandalism to the page:)S.C.Ruffeyfan 12:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Episode list
Something's wrong with the list. I tried fixing it but it was no use. Can someone find out what the problem is ? TobytheTramEngine 19:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

According to the article,this season doesn't have more than 20 episodes.Is it really so? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.114.189 (talk) 13:42, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems that way, as no new episodes aired this morning in the UK. If no new ones air tomorrow morning or afternoon then this means that the series has finished its original airing.

PS Can we please STOP adding "Madge" to any lists - she hasn't appeared officially in the series yet so doesn't really officially count as a character. We don't even know if we will see her as part of this series. --Skarloey 21:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Madge IS a real character, but is appearing in the exclusive narrow-gauge DVD known as Engines and Escapades. I have proof here:She is real. It isn't in a model series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=057CBz44Izw S.C.Ruffeyfan 11:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Thomas
Is anyone else Sick of Seeing Thomas in Every Damned episode?

I am! He hogged the entire spotlight in Season 9! HiT is so annoying with Thomas now!

Exclusive episodes
I had added the episodes that are exclusive to that DVD for reference go here, PS Madge is in them -

These episodes were aired on TV in a different than on the DVD. I can confirm this from: https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Series_11 NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 03:33, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Different order NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 03:33, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You can confirm nothing. Let me make this very clear—we cannot use other Wikis as a source, per WP:CIRCULAR. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Can someone please bring back the references section? Cause I heavily edited the last 6 episodes' information on their order and dates and the references tab would be very helpful so that the note about the VHS/DVD release will actually display the information.

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) 05:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
