"Everybody Wins" episode
Has anyone else seen this episode title anywhere? I saw it on Futon Critic's listings for August 26. I wonder if this will be the September 2 title instead, or they just changed the title entirely? I checked AMC's future schedule which has yet to list Sept. 2 (scroll/page down if you view it). Just curious. A redirect article was created for "Everybody Wins" at some point too. — WylieCoyote (talk) 17:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Dead Freight Air Date
The Air Date for Dead Freight is Aug 12, not Aug 13 like in the article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.252.183.127 (talk) 22:33, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- We fixed the article, thanks. This could've went on the episode article page. — WylieCoyote (talk) 20:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Creating episode articles
Not that anyone will see this, but in creating episode articles, please check Wikipedia before creating them to see if one has already been named and redirected here. For example, "Dead Freight" was created on July 29 and automatically redirected to the Season 5 page. Another editor created "Dead Freight (Breaking Bad)" on August 13. I had to go to the first and redirect to the second. Also, the proper Wikipedia naming policy is: if no other article exists, it's okay to title the episode article without the added series parentheses, as "Hazard Pay" has been done. The only time you added the series parentheses is in the case of "Say My Name", which has a disambiguation page, but, when typed in a search box by itself, takes you to the Destiny's Child song. By the way, "Say My Name (Breaking Bad)" was also pre-created on August 12 and redirected here. — WylieCoyote (talk) 20:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- This is why episode article redirects shouldn't be created in advance, because usually another editor will come along trying to create the article and will be redirected (and most likely not know how to get to that target article without being redirected), so they'll create another article, usually with an incorrect name or like what was done with "Dead Freight". Because yes, "Dead Freight (Breaking Bad)" should just be "Dead Freight", but can't be moved because there's already a page with that name, and an editor will probably have to request that the page be moved. It's easier if editors don't create these redirects in advance. Drovethrughosts (talk) 21:17, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Totally agree. What I do is: wait till a few days, maybe even just one, before the episode airs, create it with just enough info to pass as a stub using the basic information — episode number, writer/director, infobox, and ext. links — then add a "construction" tag to it. That saves redirecting. But, again, they should check to see if one exists before even jumping into it. And if it is redirected, it's easy to edit over the redirect, so long as the article is properly named. If anyone who reads our comments needs assistance with this, just ask on our...well, my talkpage. — WylieCoyote (talk) 14:29, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
