Intent of use

This template is intended for use in articles concerning television (or other audio-visual) series, in which a a plot or character element is described but no episode is cited. It is essentially cut-and-pasted and serves the same function as the {{fact}} template; it, however, is an in-line request that refers to the need for the specific citation of a primary source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisGriswold (talk • contribs) 05:57, 13 June 2006

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. Template:Episode will remain as a redirect by default. To change or delete it, please bring it up at WP:RFD. --BDD (talk) 00:08, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Episode → Template:Episode needed – Request to move this template back to its original name, so that it is more clear what this template does, and that it would then be named similarly to "Template:Citation needed" and the rest of the templates in Category:Inline citation cleanup templates Funandtrvl (talk) 19:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename, as nominator Funandtrvl (talk) 19:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Move Per both arguments of nominator. Note that we have {{Page needed}} and {{Volume needed}} as well. Debresser (talk) 20:20, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Rename without redirect this should be moved without leaving a redirect behind. {{episode}} makes no sense as it is currently used, considering {{infobox episode}} and other more relevant templates. All transclusions and documentation would need to be changed to reflect the new name. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 06:50, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem with not leaving the redirect is that the history of the template would not be saved, unless somehow it can be transferred to the new template name. Funandtrvl (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whar are you talking about? The edit history moves with the [move] function inherent in using the MediaWiki pagemove request. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm fine with deleting Template:Episode after the move. Thanks, Funandtrvl (talk) 18:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
