Inviting discussion
I've archived the old talk (but made a mess of the navigation box, which I hope Ned Scott or someone will sort for me) and will drop a note on Wikiproject pages to get some more comments. I think general discussion might happen here, but we should invite specific comments to be made at Wikipedia:Television article review process and WP:EPISODE.
Things still to do: develop some sort of template message to put on talk pages of parent articles to explain what is happening/needs to happen to the individual episode pgaes, and direct them to the review page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage/Articles for review.

- I think I've found all the related WikiProjects.. lets see what response we get. Gwinva 19:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Reminder of notability template use
(Copied from archive for easy reference):
{{Episode-notability}} (which is technically now Template:Dated episode notability) has now been updated to automatically add a timer. To use it you subst the template, {{subst:episode-notability}}, and after 14 days the page in question will automatically be added to a category (for now I've named it Category:Episode articles not asserting notability). -- Ned Scott 06:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, that above category has been deleted (because it was unused). I don't know if that's going to be a problem. Gwinva 17:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- No, when you tag it will still put all the episodes there (if the tag is still directed there). Once they are there we can recreate the category. You can have articles that are present in a category that has not been officially created. When you create it, they don't change. Bignole 17:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Isn't there a tag to indicate that it is a clean-up category and shouldn't be deleted just for being empty? Jay32183 18:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- Not sure, but that would be a good idea to have if it exists. Bignole 18:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I can't recall exactly what I wrote for the category's description, but I'm pretty sure it at least mentioned the template and the 14 days. I guess it just wasn't clear it was a maintenance / clean-up category. -- Ned Scott 19:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Is this good to go yet?
This seems to have died down, but is the tag(s?) ready to be used? We may not have the whole review thing up yet, but only a couple dozen series are probably going to need it. TTN 16:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say start using the tags and see how it goes. Best way to test the process is see if it works. Gwinva 09:47, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
