Number of episodes[edit]

Why do we have two different figures here? In the infobox it says there are 19 episodes. In the episode list it says 20. One is wrong. It is not encyclopaedic to have two different figures is it? Sirhissofloxley (talk) 16:36, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per Template:Infobox television, the number of episodes is the number aired/released to date. Once an episode is released, the figure is updated. Drovethrughosts (talk) 17:01, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not an answer. Because a box says so doesn't make it right. This article says there are 19 and 20 episodes of the show. That is incorrect. In the infobox it should say "Episodes aired". At the moment one of the statements is incorrect. Sirhissofloxley (talk) 17:37, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is the answer. It's how it's been done on Wikipedia for ages. TV series articles follow MOS:TV, which uses Template:Infobox television and those are the instructions at the template per consensus. If you a problem with that then I suggest you bring your concerns to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Television or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television. Drovethrughosts (talk) 17:46, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have brought it up. Surely you can see that you a TV series cannot have 19 and 20 episodes, it has to be one or the other? If I said that a sports player was 6ft 2 in one part of the article and 6ft 4 in another part of the article would you say that's correct "because it's always been that way on Wikipedia"? Do you not care about accuracy? Sirhissofloxley (talk) 18:57, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The number of episodes on the infobox is should only be incremented when new episodes air/release to date. WP:NOTCRYSTAL applies here. The series overview number of episodes is the total number of episodes for the season. They are both different. — YoungForever^(talk) 21:34, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring[edit]

Hey Ertonien and AlsoWukai, can you please stop WP:EDITWARRING by endlessly reverting each other without explanation, and instead use the talk page to settle your dispute. Thanks. Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:28, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Colour for Season 3[edit]

If not much, but if you want. I found some colours for the background for season three. It could be Gotham green (#00573F) or Tropical rainforest (#00755E). These are just suggestion I thought of. Think it through. Movieknower59 (talk) 16:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Color should be from the season 3 promo poster, not some random color. — YoungForever^(talk) 17:07, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Titles[edit]

The titles of season 3 episodes 4-8 keep getting deleted. These are confirmed names of the upcoming episodes, and please do not delete them. 67.212.119.174 (talk) 13:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adina Verson billing[edit]

Adina Verson is credited as starring in the season 2 finale, so do not remove her from the main cast. In addition to that, she has mentioned in an interview that "there was some weirdness about the kind of contract that they wanted and the kind of billing [she'd have]". This is probably because, in order to prevent her reveal as the killer, she was credited as recurring for most of the season despite the fact that she was a series regular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ribeiromatheusg (talk • contribs) 15:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AlsoWukai's grammar war[edit]

AlsoWukai keeps reverting the Season 3 episode summary based on what Common_English_usage_misconceptions#Grammar says about using the word "however". It says using "however" instead of "but" is a misconception, so AlsoWukai removes "however" from every episode summaries of Season 3. I do not automatically agree with this, escpecially since Common_English_usage_misconceptions#Grammar also says that starting a sentence with an "And" is preferable as well.

So, we have to take that as solid facts? Besides, if it's so preferable, why does AlsoWukai insist on only changing the episode summary for just one season? Why not change them all? I don't want to sound pretentious, but I'm really curious what other editors think about this. Ertonien (talk) 19:55, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No episode summaries from seasons 1 and 2 contain sentences that start with "however".

If you think it infelicitous to start a sentence with "And", that is just a bias, as Common_English_usage_misconceptions#Grammar explains. AlsoWukai (talk) 01:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not specifically starting with "however", but episode summaries from seasons 1 and 2 contain that word, and you totally wiped it out from Season 3 episode summary sentences like if you have a problem with it. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with using that word in a sentence, yet you still keep removing it every time. Ertonien (talk) 10:37, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
