Changes: Style Guide/Episodes

Revision as of 00:54, 10 April 2015

This is a STYLE GUIDE page- part of a series of supplements to assist you in your editing of the wiki. The STYLE GUIDE is currently in construction. Please be patient.

Episodes are integral units of the wiki and hold the wealth of information on the wiki into organized chronological sections. Thus episode pages must be treated with utmost care.

Using the Infobox

Episode articles have to feature the previous and next episodes for navigatability. To assist in maintaining continuity, movies or specials that fit in between episodes are also listed. In turn special and movie articles feature both the in-continuity chronology as well as the production order (what special/movie came before and after).

Cast

The cast list can just feature the entire cast, without discriminating from Primary and Guest Cast as the meanings of both can be arbitrary.

Naming

In order to feature better on the character articles or others, Sentai episode numbers are to be included. These allow readers to figure how far along into the story someone or something appeared, providing more context to the article. Series without special titles may have their episodes simply labeled Ep. 1, Ep. 2 etc, while those that have special titles will reflect on the article name as well. The reason for this is to still assign numbers, while easily suggesting that there aren't any special titles given- the exception being 'Dekaranger".

As Power Rangers episode numbers are in some parts debatable, because of two-parters, out-of-order episodes etc, the episodes are still to be named unnumbered, pending a discussion on how to properly number them with a universally acceptable system.

Special Episode Titles per Sentai

Gingaman - Chapter
Timeranger - Case File
Gaoranger - Quest
Hurricaneger - Scroll
Dekaranger - Episode (not Ep. as "Episode" was used in English)
Magiranger - Stage
Boukenger - Task
Gekiranger - Lesson
Go-Onger - GP
Shinkenger - Act
Goseiger - Epic
Go-Busters - Mission
Kyoryuger - Brave
ToQger - Station
Ninninger - Shinobi

Citations on Episode Pages

Synopses and plots no longer need to be cited as any watcher can verify the information. However production-related notes and trivia are to be referenced at all times.

Citing episodes on other pages

Use the storylink function to provide episodal references. To reference the beginning of the finale of Gokaiger you can use {{Storylink|Ep. 50: The Day of Battle}} to get " TV STORY-Ep. 50: The Day of Battle" instead of saying "in the episode 'The Day of Battle'". This keeps the article in-universe.
