About episode previews

edit

Hello. For episodes that are about to air, I'm thinking about taking an approach similar to what the List of Dragon Ball Z Kai episodes did when the series aired; hide the episodes with the airdates until the sources (i.e. TV Tokyo) can verify it as well as the official title.

TV Tokyo posts the title and airdate of each and every upcoming episode as soon as its preceding episode airs. User:SubZeroSilver (talk) 13:28, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, that's why I included it as a general reference. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 15:56, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
I thought that's what we've always done. User:SubZeroSilver (talk) 16:23, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Short summaries

edit

I would recommend that the short summaries should be more detailed. Long, but accurate is better than short, but unclear. Abhinandan katoch (talk) 09:51, 5 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

As per the guidelines of Template:Episode list and MOS:TVPLOT, summaries in episode lists must be between 100 and 200 words. That is enough to offer core storylines without any technical or minute details. User:SubZeroSilver (talk) 13:25, 5 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Summary ideas

edit

While we don't want to edit war over copyediting the episode summaries (which is obviously forbidden), I think we should discuss some ideas on how we can trim and rewrite the summaries to make more sense for unfamiliar readers and limit redundancy and puffery without sacrificing much of the plot's importance.

There is no discussion needed for what must be done. All there is to it is writing what happens within 100-200 words, avoiding vague descriptors when more direct language is available (that means no "lavender unicorn syndrome"), and above all, making sure it's accurate and concise.

I understand. I was only trying to help. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:56, 12 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
