Disambiguation

I noticed that the episode pages whose titles require disambiguation (like "Lonely Hearts" and "Bachelor Party") are currently disambiguated with the suffix "(Angel episode)". Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) recommends simply using "(Angel)" instead, except in cases in which that would be ambiguous or confusing, such as Darla (Angel episode). At some point in the next few days I'll go through and move the articles that need to be moved (so Lonely Hearts (Angel episode) will move to Lonely Hearts (Angel)). I don't expect this to be controversial — this is just a heads up. The old titles will remain as redirects. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:30, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Buffy next — but not right away. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Articles

I am in the process of reverting all of Drovethrughosts' edits. The ones where he moved all the articles from saying Angel episode in parentheses to just Angel. The reason why I feel it necessary to change it back to Angel episode is because you never know where there might be another television series with an episode that has the same name. Comments anyone?

Never mind. (WP:TV-NAME) Shaneymike (talk) 17:22, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taking away episode synopsis

I really don't think it needs to be done. By doing so you make it harder for people to find out what each episode is about. By taking away the plot synopsis, which was put in place many years ago, you force a visitor to click on each episode to get an idea of that they are about. This hinders anyone doing a quick search for a certain episode. The point of this page is to give quick and easy refrence for people to browse. Taking away the synopsis and the crossovers does not help. They should be left alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miscue (talk • contribs) 19:54, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No one's taking away the episode synopsis', articles have been created for the individual seasons of Angel so content can be expanded further. Please take a look at the season articles to see. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:05, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I meant the mini-synopsis on the episode list. By taking those away you are adding un-needed mouse clicks as a user has to search individual episodes for information on them. The information that Xeworlebi removed and added does not make the browsing of these episodes easier, it makes them harder. Miscue 20:23, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, they are not taken away, they're right here. It's a common practice on Wikipedia for television shows to have individual season articles (look at any major show on here and it will be the same). Just take a look at the season 1 article of Angel and see how much the information has been expanded. Please stop undoing the edits. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. My apologies I was having issues due to my browser and wasn't seeing the new pages. I will step back and let you clean things up. Sorry for the issues. Miscue (talk) 20:33, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:49, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pairing with Buffy episodes

Shouldn't it be noted that many Angel episodes were paired with a Buffy episode and they were showed one after the other? It was like a two parter with the Buffy episode the first and the Angel episode the second part. 80.98.146.68 (talk) 01:27, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for the first two seasons (when they were on the same network) Buffy was followed by Angel almost every week. (The only exception I see is that Triangle and Redefinition had no companion episodes.)

Since this article has no plot summaries, I don't think it appropriate to mention crossovers. They are cited in all the relevant episode articles. —Tamfang (talk) 05:01, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

network(s)

Funny that the intro tells which British networks showed the series, but not which American network(s) ... (and I've forgotten, so I'm not adding it) —Tamfang (talk) 19:54, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, that is a bit odd, I just added that info. Thanks. Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
