Character Names in Episode Titles

Alright, bringing this up because this is inconsistent in our titles overall. Are we using Western order name style (given, family) in episode titles or Japanese order name style (family, given)? --skyechan

I would normally go with the Western style here to keep things standard with the rest of the wiki but maybe if you gave a concrete example, I could have a better idea. --Maurice 01:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Western ordered:
Japanese ordered:
--skyechan
Ok, yup. I think we should use the Western order style for many reasons. The main one is that from the start we had to choose between either using the full Japanese style or Western style but not a mix of both. Since we've been converting everything to Western style so far (e.g. translations, names, etc...), it would be best to keep the standard going (question of best practice). Another reason would be our audience, which is used to the Western-style transliterations of Japanese media. --Maurice 22:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Taken care of moving the titles. Going through wiki to correct wrong links. --skyechan

269-270

Do 269-270 show up as a redlink for everyone else? I created this article, and it shows up as a redlink on my browser, even after my cache is cleared. It even shows up that way on Internet Explorer, which I NEVER use. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem... CarpetCrawlermessage me 07:56, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Seasons

How should we set up the seasons? It's obvious that season 18 is getting way too big, and I don't know if the show even HAS official seasons, anyway. What do you guys suggest we do?

  • Make the seasons go year by year? For example, 1996 is season 1, 1997 is season 2, etc...
  • Go by certain important episodes? For example, user kkslider5552000 of the forums at DCTP has an interesting method that he goes by, in which certain important episodes mark the beginning or end of seasons.
  • The 13 or 26 episode format that a season in television normally has? This would give 44 seasons under a 13 episode format, and 22 seasons under the 26 episode format. Source.
  • A different method?

Either way, the current way it's set up with season 18 is getting ridiculous and completely unmanageable. I think something needs to be done. It may be a long project, considering the lengthy amount of work it took to get the current seasons done, but it would definitely be a good project. What does everyone think?
