(Wish we had done this the first time around) - I've realized recently that, technically, the way we title episodes isn't in line with what's in the series. The title cards at the beginning use "7:00 a.m." - it's all uppercase, yes, but it's small caps; the "a.m." part is smaller than the T in "The" and thus is lowercase. Plus, we have the episode scripts, which I always thought used "A.M." until I realized that everything else on the title page is all-caps - so, at least in theory, it's the same situation there. Going by these and the dash formatting from that script, the episode titles should be in the format:
This btw is consistent with Wikipedia. It's a matter of personal preference (and trivial on the whole) but I think it looks a bit nicer than running the times together the way we currently do. Anyway, we've always made a point of prioritizing what's actually on screen above all else, and this is part of that. Changing all this would be easy to automate, just like the last time when we added the "Day X:" colons. --Pyramidhead (talk) 19:42, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
- There comes a point where you have to balance practicality with exactly what is given by the script (e.g. prepending "Day 1:" to the first series episodes). I think doing this mass change falls on the wrong side of that balance; the new format would be a huge pain to get used to (typing in image episode categories without any autocomplete is hard enough as it is)--Acer4666 (talk) 20:05, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm somewhat in the agreement with Acer for sure. There's no way we can do the amount of mass changes of episode titles with that format. Plus, the format we got on here is fine and it wouldn't matter anyway. BattleshipMan (talk) 21:15, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be much work at all - we have the bot to move everything and update the titles everywhere. It may not matter much (as much as anything on a volunteer wiki matters) but I still feel it would be good to use the most "official" title available. I don't think it would be that hard to adjust, at least no harder than the last changeover - plus with Ep now so widely used it's pretty rare that you have to type out the full episode names anyway. Actually agree on image categories, though, that's been pretty awful regardless - going to work on a possible fix --Pyramidhead (talk) 23:00, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
