To sort or not to sort

[edit]

Grapesoda22, is there a guideline, manul of style, or RfC indicating that episode tables should not be sortable? I made it sortable because I figured some people might want to sort by the episode numbers in the series, which is broken down into types of episode (episode/plot, talk/discussion, and soundscape). However, I can see why it might not be worth the trouble given how few episodes there are. TipsyElephant (talk) 01:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TipsyElephant: The table needed to be updated to use the standard episode table template, which is used for lists of episodes from virtually all TV shows and podcasts. The ability to sort episodes is not supported this template. Grapesoda22 (talk) 23:55, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Grapesoda22: is there any benefit to using the template rather than a regular table? They look identical and a regular table can be customized. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:21, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TipsyElephant:The reason we use this template is because it synchronizes new changes and updates to all of the episode lists at the same time. This table may look the same now, but if there were stylistic changes made to the template in the future this page would become outdated. It saves us the hassle of constantly having to update every episode list manually, which was a headache for years. Adding short episode summaries, in your own words, to the list would help out a great deal. It helps me out when I want to look into specific episodes of shows.Grapesoda22 (talk) 04:23, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
