Template talk:TSMBSS Episodes

Deletion?
Would anyone mind if I marked this template for deletion? Its two sections are being covered rather neatly by and. The animated template might be a bit large, but we're no stranger to large templates and that's no reason to keep two sections together even when they have no reason to be together. Even if the episodes weren't already in the other templates, I would think that people looking for the animated episodes would want to look in the template about the animated episodes and not a wholly separate template.


 * Tbh, I was fine with the episodes being outsourced to a separate template: it makes sense keeping the subject lists separate since it'd be too long and the two halves of the show had very little to do with each other anyway - except for that fact that the episodes aired side-by-side, and with that in mind, it actually makes sense to have them listed side-by-side in a single template too. Plus, MW:NAV specifically says things like levels (and by extension, episodes) are allowed to be kept separate to keep size down (in general, why have massive templates when you can easily avoid it: even your PM:TTYD example's size has been kept down by the separation of the item list). And people don't search up a template to find pages: they'd find an article and then go from there, and every episode article would have both the subject and the episode templates, so it'd work out just the same as if they'd been trying to find a specific Yoshi level, SMG galaxy or MP minigame via similar means. On the other hand, it could be frustrating if one couldn't access the live-action level list from an animated episode page and vice-versa. If it was only one set of episodes, (like and, which I noticed the other day while adding the [edit] buttons, and was already thinking of merging on my own time), I'd say delete it, since we don't need two sets of these links, but given the unique situation of the two-shows-in-one, I'd rather keep this set instead of the ones that were later/semi-recently added (by you - let's be fully transparent here) to the other templates. -  17:10, 2 November 2015 (EST)
