  • A technical and historical note on the page id: the page id is in fact a date of the form YYYYMMDD (incidentally, one of several ISO standard date formats). For recent comics, the date corresponds to the date the comic was published to the web. However, comics well into the fourth volume — [ Vol .

This material was published to the web as Girl Genius 101, page-by-page, simultaneous with the completely new Girl Genius Advanced, when Studio Foglio leaped to webcomics in 2005. After GG101 caught up to Girl Genius Advanced in 2007, all the pages were moved to a new unified namespace. The GG Advanced pages kept their dates, but the GG101 comics were backdated as if they had been published on the same schedule since 2002. (Fortunately, or perhaps to some extent consequently, this wiki didn't really get going until after the changeover, and as long as Studio Foglio continues to use software that identifies each page solely by the same eight-digit date (common, but far from universal), we can adapt easily.) This needs to be moved to the article's talk page. — m (talk) 05:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
