Talk:List of Frasier episodes

Links

I don't really care to get involved in a revert war here, but there is a reason why not everything on any given page is made a link, particularly when 98% of them are red. Right now there are three links to existing articles, and one of them at least is losing its fight for survival on VfD. I don't think we need to encourage others to write more of these, certainly not until it's settled what the policy will be. Deleting these as links still makes it possible for a person to write these articles, but less likely for them to. Anyone who is going to let the lack of a dead link prevent them from writing such an article is highly unlikely to write one of quality. If someone writes an article on I Hate Frasier Crane, they can turn it into a link when they're done. But they shouldn't be surprised if it immediately ends up on VfD or merged with this list.

Very funny. The reason the links are red is because they will have pages eventually. I'm currently working my way through Season 2 and then I'll work my way through the rest. (It's just I'm watching Season 2 on DVD just now.) And don't let the red links annoy you, they can't hurt you. It may look unprofessional just now, but it'll get better over the next month. So hang tight little man.

Names for episode articles

Since I've been writing a few episode summaries recently, I've also taken the liberty of converting many of the pages I've come across, so that they direct to a page clearly identified as being for 'Frasier'. That way, it makes it clearer that these links refer to the particular episode of Frasier being discussed, and any other topic which might happen to relate to this heading has it's own page. --Joseph Q Publique 10:31, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I'm temporarily de-linking some of the episodes which don't have articles - the copy of the list I uploaded a while back, when I started writing the thumbnails, didn't have the links, and I decided not to add them back in now for two reasons:

I'm too lazy (not really :-)
The real reason is that most of them haven't been turned into piped links to article names that include "(Frasier" (i.e. of the form [[Foo (Frasier)|Foo]]), and i) I really am too lazy to fix all of those, plus to which ii) I'm not sure if we do want to rename all the episode pages names to be of the form "Foo (Frasier)".

So, I thought I would leave dealing with them up to someone else. I am being very careful to keep the links for all episodes which do have the piped link already there. Noel (talk) 16:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, one other thing: most of the pages for individual episodes of various series are disambiguated by naming them "Foo (Bar episode)"; see for instance:

whereas most of the episode articles for this series seem to be named "Foo (Frasier)". I was going to fix the few that are named "Foo (Frasier episode)" to be the same as the rest of the ones for this series, but since that doesn't seem to be the Wikipedia style, I'm going to leave it for now. Someone else should check and see what policy is, if any. Noel (talk) 18:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode thumbnails

There is in fact a very good reason why I put the 2-line thumbnail descriptions (which I have tried very hard to make sure do not contain any spoilers) here, as opposed to simply writing stub episode pages. That way, if someone wants to find the name/season for a particular episode they remember the plot for, they can simply look down this list, as opposed to clicking on (eventually) close to 200 separate links. So please do not remove these short descriptions!. Noel (talk) 16:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the two seasons I just uploaded (4-5), I also have most of seasons 3 and 6 done, and will upload them shortly, as soon as I have added the last few episodes. I haven't yet started on 1-2, but plan to do them at some point, unless someone else does them first. Noel (talk) 16:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Major Reformatting

Evening folks. It is my intention to reformat this article from a big list, to a more organized table. During this process, some information may be temporarily gone. Do not fear though, I will have the original article (as of tonight) stored on my user page, HERE

--WBredefeld 04:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem with the info being reformatted into a more user-friendly form, but, please make sure that the thumbnail episode descriptions are available as a list somewhere; as I explained above, the whole concept is to have a list of them on one page so it's easy to scan down the list and find the episode one is looking for. Noel (talk) 20:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since nothing has happened on this project in a month, I'm going to add the thumbnails back in. Feel free to move them out if/when you return to working on this project. Noel (talk) 20:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I've been searching for a constructive project for a small part of my free time, and this is as good as any. Over the next few ~~weeks~~ months, I will be adding several episode summaries of Fraiser episodes as well as revising some of the existing summaries. It looks like a few users have tried to do this in the past, but gave up? I'll be using The Good Son (Frasier) as my template for this project. Suggestions/comments are very welcome. --Fopkins 01:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
