Section order
editI've noticed the recent edits regarding the order, if cast goes first or episodes. I have seen different thing in different articles, for example all law and order season articles from every series in the franchise, and the blacklist, and all Chicago shows, and a BUNCH of other shows have cast first. something must be done here to make every articles format universal. I personally think putting cast first makes more sense in addition to looking nicer, but i will go with whatever the community says. Jdavi333 (talk) 00:12, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I've had discussions on this in the past; if I find them, I'll add links. Typically, as we know, the overview/synopsis/plot/etc. always appears as the first sub-header. The episode table is an expansion of this, hence it and its extended plot summaries should directly follow the overview section. The cast then follow, followed by production information. MOS:TV follows this natural procession, listing the lead, then the plot (where episode tables and their summaries are explained), then onto cast, characters and production. Agents of SHIELD, as an example, follows this example, the first two seasons of which are good articles. Alex|The|Whovian? 00:30, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I was just confused because there seem to be a lot of season articles, albeit not necessarily rated high on the quality scale, that are formatted differently. Jdavi333 (talk) 00:51, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- The MOS has never been super clear, so I guess the major contributors of any of the season articles that exist have their own way of doing it. Just like I do. It's not a major issue, the layout, I've just always thought it makes sense - if there are any arguments against it, I'd be more than happy to discuss them.

I think the cast section should be moved to before the episode table. It is more structurally, and easier for people to understand which actor is playing that particular character whom is mentioned in the season summary and in episode summaries. Thus, by moving the cast section between the season summary and episode table, it is easier to understand who is who. Also, the majority of television show's Wikipedia pages has the cast section before the episode table, for example Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, The Walking Dead, Homeland and The Big Bang Theory.

- Please note that per WP:OTHER, this article shouldn't base how its content on other articles. There's been a discussion of this at MOS:TV as well; the overview connecting to the events in the episode table has a far more stronger relation than the cast and the aforementioned episode table.

Section order with regards to spoilers
editI would propose that the Overview contain a summary of what the season is about without spoiling the details, and that a "Detailed Summary" after the episode list explains exactly what happens in the season. That way the user can safely choose to view the episode details knowing that the further they read the more they find out about the season and potential spoilers, and they can read the Detailed Summary for the full explanation of the season if they choose to.
It is not immediately clear to a reader that by reading the "Overview" they will find out every exciting twist and turn that the season goes through, which will spoil the experience for the user. The Wikipedia guidelines state that spoiler warnings don't regularly get used, however, it is to be used with discretion, as stated in the article. If it is insisted that spoiler warnings do not get used, then the proposed changes to the "Overview" should be made as explained above.
Unfortunately, the layout of the article and the Overview spoiled my experience of the season, as it gave away the ending. Therefore I feel my suggestions above are fair if editors insist on not adding a spoiler warning. Redfox05 (talk) 06:18, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
In light of not being allowed to use spoiler tags, I have reviewed the guidelines on Wikipedia:Spoiler which states that headings such as 'Plot' can be used to suitably label this section. The use of 'Overview' was not clear that it would be going into detail on the exact plot. Redfox05 (talk) 06:26, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
