Talk:List of How I Met Your Mother episodes

Summaries = Screenshots

If someone will add the remaining summaries to season 1, I will add the screenshots. For legal reasons, it's best to have the summaries first. - Peregrinefisher 01:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Pages

I am adding wikipedia pages for each individual episode, with 3 so far. if others would like to help with this, just make sure that they are in the same format as the original three. Thanks - Eldude611 March 10, 2007

Sounds good, but I added some info to The Pineapple Incident that you may want to add to each ep as you go. I added an image, external links to the episode at TV.com and Imdb, and I created a category for these pages and added it. I also broke the plot summary into three paragraphs. I would recommend you do these things to all the eps. Cheers. - Peregrine Fisher 18:36, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i think we should disamb all the episodes, that way they are easier to keep track of... ie have them "Episode name" (HIMYM Episode) or "Episode Name" (HIMYM)... -Xornok 19:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a giant fight over this issue a couple of months ago, and only disambiguate when necessary was the result. You can read about it at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television). - Peregrine Fisher 19:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i know, i took part in it, but still, its just easier to disamb so that if another tv show has the same episode name, we dont have to go back and disambiguate and do all the redirects... it also makes organizing the pages easier cause they are all consistent. i didn't agree with the outcome of that "fight" anyways... -Xornok 23:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I've been doing, and I changed the disambiguation so that it is easier for people to tell. - Eldude611

Screenshots

Did i miss something why do screenshots no longer appear in the episode columns ?

Deletion of Episode Pages

Has there been any change in the policy for HIMYM episode pages? The new episodes from season 3 are either being considered for deletion or redirect to the episode list.

No, it's just Nehwyn on an undertaking to delete HIMYM episodes. It started because [s]he is a newpage patroller. Sailor Psychic (talk) 09:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HIMYM dose deserve to be listed, I have seen a couple of episodes on Sky a few months ago.--86.29.248.175 (talk) 07:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Hi, folks. I see that the episode articles which have ambiguous titles (like "Pilot" and "Matchmaker") are currently disambiguated by the phrase (How I Met Your Mother episode). Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television) recommends that when such disambiguation is necessary, all that's required is the name of the series (unless that itself is ambiguous, in cases like Serenity (Firefly episode), since Serenity (Firefly) would be ambiguous.

This is a heads-up that in the next few days I'll probably be moving these articles to the disambiguation (How I Met Your Mother) — so, for example, Pilot (How I Met Your Mother episode) will move to Pilot (How I Met Your Mother). The old titles will remain as redirects, so it won't be necessary to change all the links. (See also WP:R#NOTBROKEN.)

This is just a minor stylistic matter, so shouldn't be controversial. While I'm doing it, I'll also check to make sure that there are links to the articles on the appropriate disambiguation pages (I noticed that there is no link to the HIMYM episode "Matchmaker" at Matchmaker, for example — there should be, and I'll add one after I move the page.) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
