[edit] List of Smallville episodes
I believe the list has finally reached a point that it's well formatted, and easily accessable for changes. Information that needs to be cited is. It provides links to seasonal pages for expanded information, and individual episode pages where necessary. The lead paragraph may need some work, but that's something that I'm hoping can be address (if need be) here. The page provides a short overview of the entire show.

- Comment There is a slight problem with the formatting. The tables have exact pixel widths set. If you set the width you should use a percentage, such as 98%. The table spill off the sides of the screen on my monitor. Jay32183 01:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, I didn't realize that, I was just copying "The Simpson"'s design. Do you have a suggestion for a good percentage? (Just changed to 90%, but if better percentage is suggested I'm all ears...er...eyes) BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- 98% is usually good, because it looks like it fills the page, but doesn't push the limits. I hadn't noticed The Simpsons because the 700px does display properly on my screen. I think anywhere between 90 and 100 should work, it's not that big of an issue. Jay32183 04:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cool. I put it at 95%, for an in between. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 10:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- This now looks like the perfect list for one that does not include summaries, which are optional. I give my support. Jay32183 18:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

OpposeI'm finding the header cell colors to lack contrast everywhere. Most of the time, these headers should have white text instead of black. tables 2-4 also jave colors a bit too harsh in the body, could they be toned down some? Circeus 19:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- The borders are colored to the DVD boxes, I can look through the list of colors to try and find lighter body colors though. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 19:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm made the changes. I lightened up the body color and made the titles white. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 20:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nice. Other stuff I just noticed on closer look: too many links to same people pages (only the first instance should be enough), and a couple links to disambig pages (Brad Turner, david Carson, John Schneider, for examples) Circeus 20:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, we did that with the old format because the page was so long. I've removed the multi-links, corrected all the links so they go to the right person. If they don't have a page then I just removed the link altogether. The edit summary has the red link for the correct person. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 21:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Ooops. I've added a fair use for the "list of eps" page, as well as a brief summary and provided the source of the capture. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 17:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support Clear and concise, despite no summaries; the subpages for each season, however, remedy this. Qjuad 02:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support per Qjuad; I also added a Seasons section, like at The Simpsons and The Sopranos. Cliff smith 01:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think that as far as LOEs go, they should be like this one or The Simpsons if the show ran for over 5 seasons or so. Cliff smith 21:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - please remove colors from the tables... There is no need for them, especially so bright... Renata 00:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- That seems more like a personal preference of visualization, and other Featured Lists have colors. See the List of Simpsons episodes. That has what, 19, 20 seasons. We're talking about 6 seasons of Smallville. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Support. Can you explain why the list is tagged "incomplete"? Michaelas10Respect my authoritah 14:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Because Season 6 won't be finished until May, so episodes dates could change is something came up. Also, they haven't release the writers and directors every every episode on Season 6 yet. Lastly, Season 7 is all be confirmed to happen, so we'll have that season to tack on afterward. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 14:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Having future episodes symbolizes the incompleteness of the show rather than the list itself, take a look at other current shows' episode lists as an example. Michaelas10Respect my authoritah 15:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- The Simpsons has the same tag above their current season. I'm not suggesting that it needs to be up for the "potential season 7", just to let people know that season 6 hasn't finished airing yet, and is subject to change without notice because of that.........wait (looking at the page now), you weren't talking about the tag at the top of season 6, but the tag at the bottom of the page that said the "This film, television, or video-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it." Right? If that's the case then I removed it. I hadn't noticed that tag at the bottom. I thought you were referring to the box above season 6 that was saying it is still in progress.

- Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks. Michaelas10Respect my authoritah 19:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
