HELLO
Welcome to Phineas and Ferb Wiki, and thank you for your contribution to Talk:Phineas and Ferb Wiki! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements. A short list of rules for the Phineas and Ferb Wiki can be found here.


 * Please make sure you're signed in! It'll help you, and the rest of us, keep track of all your edits.


 * New to wikis? The Community Portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.


 * Before you continue editing, please read through Manual of Style and "How to write a great article". Also, check out the FAQ. These pages will help prevent you from making many common first-time editor mistakes and make the job of the administrators easier.


 * Recent changes is a great first stop each time you visit, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.


 * Questions? If you still have questions, you can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!


 * Get Involved! Once you've edited a couple of pages, check out our IRC Chat room and Downtown Danville to weigh in on issues pertaining to the site. A wiki is a democratic place and your input is very much encouraged. You may also wish to look at the Phineas and Ferb Wiki Project: Featured Articles.

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Talk page edits/wiki protocols
Swampy, it's great to have you here and contributing to the wiki. It's great to know that the creators of the series we all care so much about care so much about their fans. I am the bureaucrat of the wiki, meaning that I've been entrusted with the quality control over the wiki. I've been replacing all the references to Buford's last name in every page using an automatic bot thanks to your information. It's really cool that The Agency will finally get a name! I just had a quick note for you about adding information to regular articles and talk pages. We are trying to keep the main articles written in a manner that sounds somewhat encyclopedic. Your edit to the Buford page would have been better on the Buford talk page. Speaking of talk pages, instead of signing your name (or in addition to if you prefer), you can add a signature to your post by clicking the squiggly line in the toolbar above the edit box. This will add a link to your username and a timestamp so everyone will know when your comment was posted. Again, thank you for your work and thanks for your new information. I hope to be talking to you again soon. —Topher 21:02, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: General User Questions
Any simple errors you find, you can feel free to edit yourself. That is the great thing about this being a wiki. Wikis work when the whole community contributes. If you don't feel like making the changes yourself, the best place to suggest changes is on that article's talk page. Just click on the Discussion tab in the upper right corner, then click on Leave message to add a new heading and conversation. The major contributors will keep an eye on the Recent Changes page because that's the best way to know how the wiki is changing as new users edit it.

Don't worry too much about all the little mistakes you think you might be making, everyone does it at first. Some of us have been editing these wikis for a couple of years or more and still don't know all the ins and outs of it. Just keep an eye on what other people are doing and look at other people's code to figure out how things work. The only important thing is that when you edit a talk page you need to sign it like you did on your User page. This is important on talk pages, but you shouldn't add a signature to any regular article edits you make.

The only caveat I have for you is that if you make changes to articles that aren't common knowledge from on-screen, you should make sure to note it on the talk page for the article you're editing. For example, you already made a note on The Agency's talk page about its real name, so you can add it to the Background Information section of the article. We try and keep track of things the way they are on-screen in the main portion of the articles and have behind-the-scenes stuff in the Background Information sections. When O.W.C.A. gets named on-screen, it will then be changed in the main portion of the article (and the article moved to O.W.C.A. instead of The Agency). An appropriate way to make the note on that page would be something like, "According to Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, the name of The Agency is actually O.W.C.A. which stands for Organization Without a Cool Acronym."

Please feel free to keep in touch with me if you've got any questions or get lost. Another place you can turn to for help would be in the chat room. It's not a big group, but a few of us hang out there once in awhile. Check out Phineas and Ferb Wiki:IRC for information on how to access the chat room. —Topher 02:06, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Opinions
Hello Swampy, I am Perryfan and I work in the wiki since February. I joined the wiki because I love your show. Anyway, many of the users I currently work with have many discussions over articles. Do you think you could answer our questions. Just go to the article and click discussion. (Ex. Talk:Tip of the Day) —Perryfan 18:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Comic Con Images
Please mark any Comic Con images you upload as a free license image. To do this, use the "Licensing:" drop down menu on the upload page and choose, "This file is licensed under the GFDL." This will allow us to edit the images (crop them, change resolution, etc.) and will allow them to be used on other websites other than Wikia and other Wikipedia. It also prevents any copyright infringement issues. We ask that you at least consider releasing them under the GFDL, so that all your fans can use them.

If you do not want to release them under the GFDL, then please upload them, but choose "I took this photo myself/I am the author." This will still allow us to use them on this site and other Wikia sites and Wikipedia, but will not allow us to edit or share them with other websites. —Topher ( Talk ) 05:40, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

A Few Questions.
Hello Swampy.

I heard from a few sources that some upcoming episodes are named "Phinio and Ferbigi" "Mission Improbable" and "The Folympics" I decided to post these on the wiki, but they were shot down as fake.

Are They Real?

--Green Cake 04:26, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

They are indeed fakes.--Swampym 16:25, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Done. I will make sure that it stays removed from the page. (I was the one that originally added it, so I don't have any problems removing it.) — RRabbit42 03:37, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. No problem with this. —Topher ( talk ) 05:12, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Movie?
I was wondering if I could send you ideas/scripts for a possible movie. I can usually be found on my user blog! --AgentP 23:22, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid we are not allowed to accept or even read any unsolicited script or story ideas at all.--Swampym 19:41, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Real episodes
I found this episode listing here at Zapit2it. These episodes are on it that I am not sure are real:

Spot the Difference(Spot the Diff sequel)

Just Passing Through; Candace's Big Day

Undercover Carl; Hip Hip Parade

It says that these (and many more Season 1 and 2 episodes) are part of season 3? Can you clear this up for us? --- Zacbio--Agent Z 20:25, January 14, 2010 (UTC) Talk

These are all legit. --Swampym 19:42, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Phineas and Isabella
Hi, Swampy

In the season 3 annoucement, you say that Candace and Jeremy will finally become boyfriend and girlfriend. But what about Phineas and Isabella ? Will they be a couple like Candace and Jeremy ?

I hope that you can answer this little question.

Your truly fan

Namcan2000 01:17, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

P.S: Just call me Nam !

That would be telling. You'll have to watch. --Swampym 19:44, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Is this a real episode?
"Phinabella and Ferbessa" Is that the name of a real episode? If so that's awesome because I'm a major PhineasXIsabella shipper ~Bowser101 01:27, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Nope--Swampym 19:43, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

To quote Adyson Sweetwater: Awwwww nuts! ~Bowserstar Talk to the new leader of ThunderClan 00:31, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Keep the Show Going
Do you plan to ever end making new Phineas and Ferb episodes, because I think it's such a great show it should last for years, maybe, you could eventually make the whole show about them as adults (after you do like 4 summers with them as kids), or show them going to school.--Ed

Real episodes
Are any of the episodes Unregistered contributor 24.131.42.22 created are real episodes? Zacbio (I have a crush on Isabella!)'(talk to me) 15:59, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Season 3 theme song reccomendation
Hi, Swampy!

I have a reccomendation for the Season 3 theme, so here it is:

(to the tune of the Christmas special theme)

There’s a hundred and four days of summer vacation,

Before school comes along just to end it,

So the annual problem for our generation,

Is finding a good way to spend it

Phineas: So, Ferb, what do you wanna do today? (Ferb shrugs)

Bowling For Soup and Chorus: Like maybe…,

(2nd verse of Today is Gonna Be a Great Day:)

BFS: Crossing the tundra or building a roller coaster.

Skiing down a mountain of beans,

Devising a system for remembering everything,

Or synchronizing submarines.

Racing chariots, taming tiger sharks, constructing a portal to Mars,

Building a time machine, stretching a rubber tree, or wailing away on guitars.

As you can see,

There's a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall.

Phineas: Come on Perry!

So stick with us,

Cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all!

So stick with us,

Cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all!

Candace: Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!

What do you think?

--22pandrew 02:43, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Season Box Sets?
We loyal fans of your show would love nothing more than to own its greatness on DVD. Is there any chance of you releasing season box sets

User:J.Severe or That Guy! 21:08, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

We so hope that happens! Fingers crossed. --Swampym 19:39, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

whenever they come out that'll be great!

Who are this fireside girls in the right?


Hello Mr. Marsh. I do not wish to interrupt you in your work of Phineas and Ferb. I just what to know who are two new fireside girls in the far right? They first appeared in I Was a Middle Aged Robot, and later on one of them in The Beak. With the behalf of the members of the Phineas and Ferb Wiki, can you help us identify their names? Patrickau 26 12:43, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Future Soundtracks?
Hi Swampy my name is Kyle. I am a big fan of the show. Especially the songs. My question is will there be a soundtrack for the Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs To You special just like you did for the Christmas special? Also is there any plans for a Season 2 soundtrack yet? Please reply as soon as possible. Knarrow02 06:55, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hey!
I didn't know you were actually on this wiki. But it's really cool that you are!

Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask you anything about future plots, in fact, I'm totally against spoilers. (Total Drama Island got spoiled for me, and I ain't going back!)

But someone on deviantArt said I should propose an idea for an episode to you. I write fanfiction, see. (and I must admit, I'm mostly canon) There's no better way to get my ideas out there than to ask you, the co-creator! Am I right?

Anyways, the idea comes my friend (kiki-kit.deviantart.com). Sorry, I'm big on giving credit. I just wrote a story about it, but the idea is hers.

The idea is: What if Phineas and Ferb's invention goes horribly wrong, and Phineas loses his voice for a period of time?

Tell me what you think, please! I actually want to be a cartoonist one day, mostly inspired by your show!

~TeamPhin/Haley, 13:54, August 5 2010~

When???
Hi there Swampy!

Season 3 Start date
There has been a unusually large number of season 2 episodes and I'm wondering if you plan on starting a new season soon and I want to know what day.--Bowl108 14:31, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Dear swapy,

Please send me your e-mail address i would love to tell you som e suggestions for the furture.Phineas1912 00:22, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I too am curious about Season 3, unless I'm mistaken it has been stated in interviews that Season 3 would feature a rollercoaster musical, a Wizard of Oz parody and an episode in which Candace and Jeremy officially become a couple. Two of the three have already happened. Guess it's not too big of a deal or anything though, honestly I would just rather have more episodes.

Anyway, Phineas1912, I know you mean well but I doubt Swamp would send you his personal email address for suggestions. I mean just imagine how many people want to suggest something to the series his inbox would be too full and some of these suggestions would be really long, people want to convince him to use their ideas. If you have ever read a Phineas and Ferb fanfiction you can easily see how disastrous some fan ideas are. If Dan and Swampy read through all of these they will end up having less time to make the series and some of it will be a pain. EriktheEagle 14:43, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

You Being an Admin
Users of this wiki are in a heated debate as to whether or not you should be an admin, considering who you are, if you want to see what people are saying or want to say something yourself, go here.--Eduardog3000 16:34, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

What happens when Summer ends?
There's 104 days of summer vacation (lucky...) and school comes along just to end it. So what happens to Phineas and Ferb when summer is over? And by "Phineas and Ferb", I mean the show. Is it over? Do we move on to next summer? Do we get a new show along of the lines of "Phineas and Ferb in School"? I sure hope it's not over, despite wanting some closure I would sure miss this series, it's the only reason I watch regular Disney these days and, along with Naruto Shippuden, the only reason I watch Disney XD.

Alas, everything even things that are good, must end but I sure hope Phineas and Ferb last longer. I was feeling really miserable at the end of "Summer Belongs To You" just because it FELT like the last episode. I heard we may get a spin off of Isabella and Fireside Girls which is fine, but seeing how they nearly always with Phineas and Ferb, I doubt it would take place in the same summer. So the question remains: What happens next?EriktheEagle 00:59, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Major MonogramXD!
Sorry if that subject looked fangirlish but don't worry I'm not going to give you my ideas and show my fancharacters, I may mention my character's name but I know that you won't care, I'm just want to ask two short questions.

1. Is Carl ever going to have a crush(I want to know so I can get over using Carl as my character Bekah's crush.)?

2. What does Carl like to do when he is not an intern for the O.W.C.A.( I sound like such a nerdXD).

As you can see Carl is my favorite character in Phineas and Ferb( Which is obessive, it's so obessive I think he is hotter than JeremeyXDDDDDD).

Movie is the end?
Would Phineas And Ferb Across The Second Dimension In Fabulous 2D End the show because they are not supposed to know that Perry is a part of The O.C.W.A?IMAWSOME 12:59, August 17, 2010 (UTC)Will,Age 8


 * I don't know myself but it's only a year away and they haven't even started season 3. You see it might be another "what-if" episode in which someone is dreaming. Or there is the simple possibility than Major Monogram demands that Phineas and Ferb have their memory erased.EriktheEagle 13:40, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Character Relationships
Good evening Swampy Marsh

First me and my little brother are a huge fan of your show, second I had a few questions about "Character Relationships"

1. Will Phineas and Isabella ever date/kiss?

2. Will Ferb tell Isabella how he feels about her?

3. In the epsiode "Phineas and Ferbs Quantum Boogaloo" (Great name for an episode), we see Candace's kids, Amanda, Xavier and Fred. Candace has fantisiced multiple times about marrying Jeremey and having two kinds, Xavier and Amanda. So if 2 and 2 make four, does this mean Candance will marry Jeremey, as we have now seen they have become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Thanks for reading

Oscar Gilmour 16:29, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Can I have your email as I had a cool idea for a sixty minute special? :)

I don't want to sound rude but I HIGHLY doubt he can answer any of those questions, it would be giving away too much.EriktheEagle 22:21, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe so, but I would like as much info as he could give me Oscar Gilmour 10:50, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

I see...still I don't think he can or will answer any of those except MAYBE his email and #3, but it's still very unlikely.

1) I think Swampy said on this very page that he cannot reveal more about Phineas and Isabella

2) If he can't reveal anything about Phinbella, I don't think he can reveal anything about Ferbella...Ferbella might not even be canon.

3) Again, he isn't supposed (doesn't want) to reveal anything like this. Although he MIGHT cut you some slack because they have gone far enough to make Candace and Jeremy a couple and might never reveal on show whether they get married or not.

Unnamed Tina Fey Episode
What's the real name of this episode? Will Jane Lynch also be in it? You recorded these women on nearly the same time. Leave the answer on my discussion page or move the article to right name. I don't speak English very well, but I think you will understand me ;) Marekos1996 21:04, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Just another bothersome question...
So as I'm you receive these type questions often, I would be very flattered to get a response. I, as so many others, have written episodes that I would love to see make "Phineas and Ferb", but I know that you and Dan cannot accept these as you have said before, "No, I'm afraid we are not allowed to accept or even read any unsolicited script or story ideas at all." So I was just wondering what steps I would need to take in order for you guys to even be able to look at my scripts? Is it even possible? Many others seem to want to become animators like you, but I would much rather become a scriptwriter WITH you (I can dream, can't I?). I feel like you have probably answered questions similar to these, but cannot find it since my questions are slightly different. Thank you very much for your time! You have no idea how much I appreciate the help! 4.244.63.115 02:13, August 19, 2010 (UTC)joeman613

Wait...wha--? Dan and Swampy can even READ anything fan made? Is it just ideas they can't read or any type of fanfiction at all?EriktheEagle 02:34, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know absolutely nothing about the industry, but I seriously doubt that any unsolicited scripts would be looked over even if you were a union writer (I'm guessing Phineas and Ferb writers are represented by the Animation Guild as opposed to the Writers Guild of America West, since the Animation Guild has a collective bargaining agreement with Disney), in part because of the potential legal issues that would come up over proper compensation combined with the fact that Phineas and Ferb is not "scripted" as most television shows are- rather, its stories are constructed in the fashion old cartoons were, where someone comes up with a basic premise (as Swampy himself told the McClatchy-Tribune News Service, "Some suggested dialogue. Some suggested situations. We never have an actually script [sic] until after the storyboard artist is done") and most of the actual dialogue and gag ideas are thought up during the storyboarding process. As for not being able to read any outside ideas, which would most likely include fan fiction, I would assume that is for legal reasons as well: if the writers were to adapt an idea from a piece of fan fiction, the writer of the fan fiction would most likely try to sue Disney for stealing their idea without credit or compensation (or at least Disney's legal department would fear they would).

Pants on the Ground?
On BuddyTV, there is a Phineas and Ferb episode called 'Pants on the Ground'. However, when I created a page for it, someone came and deleted it. All of the other episodes there are real, so can you tell me if this one is? Here's the link. http://www.buddytv.com/phineas-and-ferb/season-3/pants-on-the-ground-1.aspx. I'm guessing that Jake is one of Ferb's friends from England, and Phineas is doing something else when that happens.Summary:


 * Candace goes to the park to haves a good time. Suddenly her pants fall on the ground.; Jake, Ferb, and all the other citizens of Danville make fun of her with a song.

Please respond! -67.177.71.141 17:41, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I couldn't tell you for sure...but I can't stress how unbeliebably fake that sounds.EriktheEagle 17:46, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm going to answer this one for Swampy. I deleted the page for two reasons. First, based on the description, it is a fake because it shows Ferb acting out of character by being unkind to Candace. He and Phineas do not behave that way. Second, it had been added before and was determined to be a fake also. I have added a comment to the BuddyTV page that it is a fake for those two reasons. — RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 17:58, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * The real "Pants on the Ground" was a goofy and now famous song performed by Larry "The General" Platt during this year's American Idol auditions. Combined with the reasons above, I can without a doubt affirm that it's a fake episode. Mobo85 19:27, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay.Thanks!67.177.71.141 19:29, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Possibly a Poser
Did you know some Anonymus User is saying they ARE you?

I just need to know if he/she really is you.

And another thing, will there be more episodes centered around the couples, like PhineasxIsabella or CandacexJeremy?

My email
Hi Wikia Administrators,

Guys, I regret that I have had to disable my email on these pages. Those of you that are administrators and that I know of and have corresponded with before are still more than welcome to contact me for answers and clarifications and I will gladly respond as and when I can. The growing number of emails lately has made it impossible for me to continue to post my email for the public. I do hope everyone understands. I love and support all the work you guys do here and want to continue to be a part of the Phineas & Ferb Wikia site. I just find it necessary to control the access to my email better so that I am not innundated with email.

Thank for your understanding.

Cheers,
