[edit] Synopsis

I would like further opinions on the synopses. By having Synopsis: before each summary, it adds clarity, and similar to both the title and airdate, labels that particular section of the table. If any other page with this tabular format is also missing such a label, then they too should be put right. I cannot see the logic in having the episode title supported by “Title” if the synopsis is not going to be supported by “Synopsis”, however "obvious" it might be.

It is not appropriate and not something that should be added. It does not exist in any other episode list. Please do not start yet another edit war over your disagreement with the consensus of how an episode list should be format. We do not add the word "Synopsis:" before every one, period. If it were necessary, it would be part of the template. It has never been felt to be necessary. Collectonian (talk) 16:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
It's completely unnecessary to add something that is obviously assumed. That and every featured episode list doesn't do it either. There's a difference between clarity and pointing out the obvious. Per Collectonian, it would be part of the template if it was necessary, and it is not. Please do not add them to any episode pages. Regards, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 19:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Colours

Okay. Have had another look at the Episodes page, and for my two cents worth, wish to say again that the colours used in the headings definitely clash! Actually, I think the colours would harmonise if not for the bright red. The bright red colour is distracting, and makes the page hard to look at. Take it out (replace it with something milder) and the page would be a lot easier to read. Thanks, Bee Coz (talk) 10:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taking to FLC - Some Suggestions

I think this list could potentially become a Featured List with a little more work. I would suggest editors work on sourcing the statements in the lead, and on making sure each episode summary is thorough and includes the major plot points of each episode, including the ending. With that done, a peer review and copy edit from an outside editor (maybe from the LoCE) should be all that's needed before its nominated for FLC. Collectonian (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, at some point (when I get round to rewatching the series), I will redo the edit summaries. --UpDown (talk) 08:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Colours

I think too many colours are distracting, thus i have reverted the colours to the cream which relates to Hyacinth's wallpaper and colours of the box sets. The Christmas specials should have a separate colours, because they are separate from the series' episodes. Edito*Magica (talk) 18:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Repetitive!

I think we need to come to a consensus that some of the information in this page's lead is removed; most of it is repeating what's on the main page. Wouldn't it be better to say "for more information go to....", because for a user that has already seen the main page and the box set picture, they won't want to see the same things again.

Unless the lead paragraphs feature new information, I really don't see the point in them being there for the sake of it, just to keep exactly in line with the so-called "manual of style". Other views please? Edito*Magica (talk) 20:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

A lead paragraph is always meant to be a summary of the whole article. That's policy per WP:LEAD. If you disagree with policy, you'll need to start a discussion there not here.--UpDown (talk) 07:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
