Hey guys! So over on this thread, we kind of decided that we were going to start a point system that decided the popularity and success of shows. You recieve points when your show gets some sort of publicity or special thing. Here are the points we were thinking of:
 * 30 points to start off with when pilot/movie idea is picked up
 * 15 points for weebly feature about the show/movie or Pilot about the show/movie
 * 10 points for publicity of an actor on the show (in a Weebley, signed to WR, in a Pilot, etc.)
 * 10 points for a What's Up With...? appearance.
 * 10 points for a special episode
 * 5 points for every promo image
 * 5 points for every song that is released from the show/movie
 * 5 for being involved in a WC special
 * 1 point for a chatter mention from someone NOT on the show/movie or producing it.

This is what came from that thread. I really want to get this system going, I think it'd be really cool and fun. Plus, a lot of things on this wiki seem to reach a dead end at some point and don't get finished, I didn't want this to be one of those.

We could make a page for this. I was thinking we could have a table/chart to keep track of all of the points of all of the shows. Then, underneath the chart, each show would have their own chart for logging added points. Think that would work?

I think the point system could be the deciding factor for a lot of things for the show. Things like how many viewers the show's episodes get, what shows we include in specials, and things like that.

I think we should think of a name for this. What should we name it, Show Point System, or something cooler? :P

Also, what do we about the points for shows that are already airing? I don't think we should just start fresh and give all the shows an equal amount of 30 points, because some projects have already been featured in a lot and they've had a lot, I think they should get credit for that. Maybe we should go back and start from a certain point, maybe from February 2014? I feel like that was a point when the wiki was getting really juicy. :P

I also think we should add to the list of what you can get points for a special guest star, a video from the show, and I think you should get at least 1 point for when an actor from the show releases music, that's a form of publicity but just on a smaller level since it's not too directly connected to the show.

Please reply with your thoughts below, thanks! :)
