Idea

Maybe we could add a location row to this, where the location (city/route) of the episode takes place? -- Pikachu120 00:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Whoa.

Why does this have so many sections? That's madness. TTEchidna 06:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Battle Frontier

Should there be a separate template for the Battle Frontier series? That does after all have its own English ending in the form of Go Pokémon Go. --Bardock 22:46, 4 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Complains go here

I made it wider because Psy is a butthead and wanted the screenshots to be bigger. So everyone with tiny monitors still running Windows 95 can whine here. TTEchidna 07:40, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

YOU butthead, it's TOO big, it actually looked better when we used HD. I'm running on 1280x800, by the way. Make it smaller or whatever. Jellotalk 20:08, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, what Jell said. Also, I wasn't being a butthead, thanks. We have bigger pics, not some shitty little pics, so we should use them. --Psyライダー 20:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Edit request

Request

Can we make the thumbnail picture a tad bigger? Most of the screenshots available are big enough to be like 640 x 480, which is twice the size of the 320 x 240 from EP to the middle of DP but still. The thumbnails seem to be smaller than if you just put thumb as part of the file coding. We have such magnificent images, but we're holding them in regret, we should just love them and show them off. They looked fantastic when they were set to hd, even though apparently that's a bad thing, and I've got a much bigger display, so maybe it's just me. D: --P S Yライダー 16:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Request: Raising the allowed numbers for Assistant Directors and Animation Directors

In XY103, a total number of four possible to show assistant directors is needed when only three are allowed by this template (it will jump back to 1 if it's higher than 3).

In JN059, a total number of twelve possible animation to show directors is needed when only ten are allowed by this template (it will also jump back to 1 if it's higher than 9).

Suggesting a rework

This template is currently tailored for TV anime releases. It works fine for those, but it doesn't work so well for live-action series such as Pack Your Pocket With Adventure, or series not broadcast on TV such as Pokémon: Path to the Peak. Several of the fields are non-applicable and end up being left blank (animation directors when it's live action, broadcast date when it wasn't on TV, etc), which looks messy.

Another issue is the large amount of duplicated credits fields (director 1-5, art 1-16, etc). It would probably be cleaner to have a subtemplate for these credits, and then include the subtemplate as many times as needed instead of having multiple dedicated fields. This would be easier to manage, and also scalable if some episode came out with 10 directors or 20 animation directors.

Suggested solutions:

  • Make subtemplates specifically for live-action TV media and non-television animated media. There is a risk that some media not meeting either case comes out later (live-action but not on TV?), but this would at least resolve the current use cases.
  • Convert this template into modular pieces, so that the displayed fields can be customized. For example: have opening/ending as subtemplates, so they only appear if called. This way, only episodes that that actually have an opening/ending song would display the section. Ditto for animation director or other credits.
