Married with children episodes category
Hi there - my understanding of the conventions of Category:Television episodes by series is that episodes should be categorized by show there, not in the parent category of Category:Television episodes. That way, the episodes can more easily be found when looking through Category:Television episodes by series. Ordinarily small categories are to be avoided, I entirely agree, but I think that this situation is an exception to WP:OCAT#Small with no potential for growth. Any thoughts?

- Actually, looking at the MwC category again, the list of episodes article would fit into the episodes category as well. Plus it's not as though there is no possibility of expansion of the category: further articles may yet be written about other episodes. Bencherlite 01:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- There will be no need for thirty small categories. That whole category will eventually be pared down to around five to ten series with more than ten episodes, so any others will be one to three episodes at most. It will be just as easy to use the main category, and the list category to find search through them. The chance for more episodes is rather slim at this point (the previous articles were redirected, and only a couple showed potential). If it does get to that point, the category can be recreated.

- OK, you seem to be doing a lot of editing in the field of TV episodes, so I'm perfectly happy to let you get on with it. I keep thinking that I've seen some useful comments one way or the other at WP:CFD recently, so I may have a dig around and see what I can find, for my own reference. Do you happen to recall any such discussions? Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, you can reinstate the speedy tag on the MwC episodes category. Regards, Bencherlite 01:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Found something, anyway. At this discussion, the eponymous category was deleted, with comments that episodes of a TV show X don't belong in an eponymous category X but in a category of X episodes. Just a thought. Bencherlite 01:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- With that many episodes (and the fact that the category was useless), it makes sense, but this is just two articles for one category. TTN 01:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Would it be helpful...
if you annotated the message that you leave on "list of episode" article talk pages to state that other users would be responsible for merging any plot information into the list?
