Working/Temporary title?[edit]

In some article about this spin-off series, it's stated that "Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake" is a "working title". So that means that the official title can be different, like we saw "Rumble Jaw", right? - George6VI (talk) 14:35, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that if the official title is different, the page name can be changed at that point. --Historyday01 (talk) 14:52, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Since HBO Max has felt comfortable releasing the name as is, I think it's probably safe to use it for now. But as Historyday01 mentions, if need be, we can always change the article's name.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 16:15, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's my thought too. We can always change the name if it is shown, through reliable sources, that it has changed to something different. --Historyday01 (talk) 19:10, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add a dedicated article for each episode?[edit]

I find the synopses in the "Episodes" section too brief and lacking to explain all of the significant details. I think it would be better to add a dedicated article for every episode, to at least have a complete synopsis of it written there. BidBux (talk) 11:46, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

they need to be notable, need to have production and reception info covered in reliable sources. Indagate (talk) 11:55, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, and synopsis can't just copy and paste from other website, for it is copyright violation. For citations, you can look up the Chinese article, where I added references, but I am not sure if you can add them to here, because Jamie Eilat insist not to. Plus, there are already AT Wiki from Fandom, and rules there aren't as strict as Wikipedia. - George6VI (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify on how references on plot summaries work: secondary sources are only needed either when an "unclear or contentious plot point" needs to be clarified, or when the plot of a "lost episode" is being described. Beyond those two cases, basic plot descriptions are meant to be "sourced from the works themselves", meaning citations aren't necessary. That's the basic style guideline per MOS:TVPLOT & MOS:FILMPLOT. — Jamie Eilat (talk) 14:46, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But, the episodes have to be notable before creating standalone pages. Historyday01 (talk) 13:29, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Cast is becoming trivial and unbalanced[edit]

In my opinion, I prefer the "Cast" section to be like this (may change a little when the last two episodes are out):

  • Main -
    • Fionna
    • Cake
    • Simon
    • Gary
    • Marshall Lee
    • Prismo
    • Scarab
  • Supporting -
    • Ellis P.
    • Lemoncarb
    • Astrid
    • Finn & Ice Finn
    • PB, Candy Queen & Bonnie
    • Marceline & The Star
    • Winter King
    • The Lich
    • Betty

As for the rest, supporting and guest etc., there should be a section instead of a plain list. There are some articles and websites that can be used as references, but I am not sure which section it can be put. Besides, materials shouldn't be put in Wikipedia without filter, just adding this and that. —— George6VI (talk) 16:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that completely. Historyday01 (talk) 17:22, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, while the main plot is about Fionna, Cake, and Simon, the plot about Gary and Marshall is almost as equal, or there wouldn't be the switch between two plots as seen in the seventh episode, "The Star'. Therefore, I think putting the five main characters plus Prismo and Scarab would be reasonable. ——George6VI (talk) 01:29, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is it a miniseries?[edit]

I honestly don't know. I haven't seen anyone working on the show refer to it as such. Mattgelo (talk) 01:46, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. I'd say it counts as a full series, as its ten episodes. Anime series, which have 11 or 12 episodes, are not mini-series, so why should this series be treated differently? Historyday01 (talk) 01:54, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That said, sometimes the crew did refer Fionna & Cake as miniseries (McHale: "It's in episode 6 of the new Fionna & Cake miniseries!"), while some articles called it limited series. If another season of F&C is confirmed, then it may be "spin-off series" (in general, no matter it gets renewed or not) instead of miniseries or limited series. - George6VI (talk) 03:30, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A bit of a note to add, Over the Garden Wall has 10 episodes that is listed as a miniseries as such. Also, I wanna mention that this article does say it that Fionna and Cake is structured as a miniseries. I get the debate, but I honestly prefer to wait for more information to come up. If a season 2 is renewed then its no longer a miniseries then. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 03:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair. Historyday01 (talk) 16:52, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So this question can be considered settled now, then; not a miniseries. — Jamie Eilat (talk) 19:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, it's officially a spin-off series.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 16:23, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of repeated hyperlinks[edit]

@Jamie Eilat You put back all the extra hyper links I removed because they were repeated more then once. I also had made it clarified. Im asking why It was changed back. Importantopinions (talk) 15:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Importantopinions: It is what the top section supposed to be, it is a summary of the whole article, and wiki links don't count as "repeated" in this case. - George6VI (talk) 16:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
