	********* We're going to have problems if they name an episode the same as any article (like if they call an episode "Matt Parkman" or "Empathic mimicry" or anything). The Seasons pseudonamespace doesn't really make this problem any worse or any more likely ... it's just another challenge in such an instance. As for the Season One on the navbar, it's only there because the episode navbar is designed to be Season-specific. When episode 201 rolls around, the "Previous" button will go back to [[How to Stop an Exploding Man]], but the list of episodes will be blank (except for Episode 201). The season number is just there to make it easier to tell where you are if you're using the next and previous buttons to navigate. It can be relabeled or removed if need be, but I really doubt it will cause any problems ... particularly since, again, the episodes don't get archived, so there won't be an article called "Season One:The Hard Part".--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 19:17, 21 May 2007 (EDT)		********* We're going to have problems if they name an episode the same as any article (like if they call an episode "Matt Parkman" or "Empathic mimicry" or anything).

	* So I probably should have checked this discussion before moving the pages, but I'm going to feel confident that I can put forth some arguments in favor of the way I just set them up. :) Psuedo-namespaces are a bit messy. They're back from when I didn't really understand that it didn't automatically create a real namespace when I did that. The convention just stuck and in certain instances I think it's good. Think of a namespace (or pseudo-namespace) as just that: a "name space". My intention was to be able to give articles the same name even if an episode, graphic novel, or character shared the same name as an episode. So namespaces are more for completely different articles that happen to share the same name. Subpages, on the other hand, are more for organizing information about a specific topic. Subpages make more sense here since they're expanding on information in the parent article. I'd like to avoid creating any additional psuedo-namespaces since they don't really accomplish much good and make creating new namespaces more work since those existing articles have to be renamed, etc. Any new namespaces should be real namespaces which involves some additional configuration on my end and should be used sparingly for different collections of articles. Episodes info, graphic novel info, and character/place/etc. info are all pretty different so there is a logic to having them split into multiple namespaces, though it was by no means absolutely required. As far as linking to the season histories is concerned, the pseudo-namespaces do make it a little easier to pipe link it, but I think we'll be using templates for the links soon enough so it shouldn't be a big deal.

	* So I probably should have checked this discussion before moving the pages, but I'm going to feel confident that I can put forth some arguments in favor of the way I just set them up. :) Psuedo-namespaces are a bit messy. They're back from when I didn't really understand that it didn't automatically create a real namespace when I did that. The convention just stuck and in certain instances I think it's good. Think of a namespace (or pseudo-namespace) as just that: a "name space". My intention was to be able to give articles the same name even if an episode, graphic novel, or character shared the same name as an episode. So namespaces are more for completely different articles that happen to share the same name. Subpages, on the other hand, are more for organizing information about a specific topic. Subpages make more sense here since they're expanding on information in the parent article. I'd like to avoid creating any additional psuedo-namespaces since they don't really accomplish much good and make creating new namespaces more work since those existing articles have to be renamed, etc. Any new namespaces should be real namespaces which involves some additional configuration on my end and should be used sparingly for different collections of articles. Episodes info, graphic novel info, and character/place/etc. info are all pretty different so there is a logic to having them split into multiple namespaces, though it was by no means absolutely required. As far as linking to the season histories is concerned, the pseudo-namespaces do make it a little easier to pipe link it, but I think we'll be using templates for the links soon enough so it shouldn't be a big deal.
