[edit] This *is* ludicrous.
Couldn't we just name it "Dante And..." and put the full title somewhere below, in the text? This looks like a bad example of someone making a wp:point. Stevage 12:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Shouldn't you have waited for a response before moving the page? The full title is the actual title of the episode, Dante And Randal And .... is less likely to be typed in then the full episode title, seeing how people wouldn't know how many words were added. If anything you should have done something like Clerks: The Animated Series (episode 5). I feel it should be put back to the original title, even if it is too long. -th1rt3en 04:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

- I was bold. Also, the full title redirects here. It depends what you mean by "too long" - even if MediaWiki supported 1000 character titles, I would strongly argue against having such a ridiculously long title. I agree that naming it by the episode name would have been fine, too, but you'd probably want to implement that on all similar articles. Out of interest, how do most fans refer to this episode? Do they just call it Episode 5? Do they actually spell it out entirely, punctuation and all? Do they use the first letter of each word? That should give you some guidance.

- The episode titles are only shown on the DVD before you select to play each individual episode. So I would assume the episodes are referred to by numbers (Episode 5, etc.). I'm just not entirely sure about using the current title. -th1rt3en 15:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

- I reverted, as you should have as much of it as possible, even if you can't make it the whole thing. Nobody will search for "Dante And Randal And ...." and we should have it at the title people are most likely to search for. Also, there are 3 periods in an ellipsis. --Rory096 21:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- With respect. There is a redirect in place for the whole thing abbreviated thing, which totally takes care of searching. Do you really think someone is going to type the first 255 characters, capitalising each word, and without making a single typo? Be serious. Be sensible. Be realistic. Be sane. Thanks!

- I would think that someone would copy and paste the title from another source. That said, do you think somebody would correctly type out only a few words and know how many words to use? -th1rt3en 13:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's extremely unlikely anyone would attempt to find the article by typing in an exact name and hoping. More likely they'd search by series name, then navigate through the episodes. Stevage 16:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
