			== We should separate Case into two sections: Plot (the summary of the episode) and Case (details about its mystery cases) ==

			This is what I'm proposing for it to change for the Manga chapters/episodes/movies/OVAs/TV specials pages.

			We should separate the '''Case''' section into '''two separate sections''' focusing on their retrospective topics: ''Plot being the summary of the episode, while Case would detail about the mystery cases present in the material (situations, suspects, culprit, evidence, method, motive)''

			My main issue into having both Plot and Case merged into one section is that two topics are in conflict with each other. Even though, it's about a series that focuses on mystery cases, there are ton of times where the case details '''(specifically the sub-sections made for them)''' overall distracts from the material summaries and other times there aren't any cases present, making the "Case" section pointless. To put in simply, we can't focus on both in one section without messing with how the episodes are summarized.

			I found the current Case sections to be messy and a bit disoriented. So that's why I'm giving an efficient solution.

			Separating in two sections would make things easy and it can have a consistent focus between them. The Plot section would be simply summarizing the plot of the material, allowing the non-case events to be told without conflicting with the case stuff (it does '''NOT''' mean the case summarizes won't be present, since they're part of the episode events, but it won't be told with infoboxes and per each sub-section to avoid disorganization). The Case section is where the infoboxes will go (Situation, People) and where stuff like Evidence, Method, Motive can be told as it was in Case sections.

			I made a sandbox page demonstrating what I mean by this: [[User:DavidHolandaOne/sandbox/Plot_and_Case_section_separation\|Plot and Case section separation]]
