Twitter….[edit]

So I was digging on the Twitter account of Matt Braly, which is reliable since it is verified, but he retweeted about the script of "Olivia & Yunan" (#307B) someone else (not verified) posted: https://www.twitter.com/ZehraFazal/status/1457394445377146881

Since the tweet Matt Braly retweeted us doesn't seem reliable, I'm not sure about using the source.

Guest Stars[edit]

Does anyone else feel that we should remove the "Guest Stars" sections from the episode descriptions? Because I'm thinking we should.

Looking at Wikipedia's Manual of Style, there is a clear statement that plot sections should "avoid any information that belongs in other sections, such as actors' names". The "Guest Stars" sections clearly violate this. These sorts of meticulous credits are part of why character pages exist, and Amphibia already has a character page. So not only does having the guest star credits here violate the Manual of Style, it's just plain redundant.

I already have an edit for this done & ready, but I want to get other people's thoughts before actually publishing it. If nobody has any objections, or if nobody chooses to weigh in, then I'll go ahead & do it. - Jamie Eilat (talk) 19:10, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • To be fair, they were cluttering the list in the past with the exclusively detailed summaries, resulting in the summaries to get a noticeably get shorter. But due to user complaints, we have to readd guest stars on the bottom of the summaries so everyone would know. Considering that their not in the title cards of each episode, I think necessary to have them removed. Same can be said for the Big City Greens episode list as well.

I kind of enjoyed it because I could see if sasha or marcy was in the episode. 174.34.4.51 (talk) 14:27, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Season 3 last two episodes[edit]

So the names of the last two episodes of season 3, "All in" and "the hardest thing", have been released. So why do they keep getting removed from the page even when cited directly from the studio? 14:30, 22 March 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smiles005 (talkcontribs)

@Smiles005: To be clear, these two episode titles have been leaked, but not officially released. They were posted to the Russian website Kinopoisk, but are (as of now) yet to receive any corroboration from either Disney Press, or from any members of the Amphibia Crew. Kinopoisk cannot be used as a reliable source, since it isn't affiliated with Disney. So unless these titles are corroborated by Disney/the Amphibia Crew, we shouldn't add them.

Runtime of last episodes[edit]

Since the creator of the show, Matt Braly, confirmed the alternate runtimes of the last episodes, will we put that as a footnote (as in, a note that redirects to the section of the page called "Notes" {not sure what it is called}) or as a note in the episode description? Of course, the episode hasn't come out yet, but I want to double-check first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ARandomInterwebGuy (talkcontribs) 22:10, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding All In as either 1 or 2 episodes.[edit]

So, there have been some recent back & forth edits regarding the apparent discrepancy between DGEPress & FutonCritic. The Disney Press site shows All In as one episode, and fully under the production code 317. (Compare with Gracenote, which also lists All in as episode 17.) However, FutonCritic lists All In as episodes 17 and 18. Now, we know that All In is going to be 47 minutes, i.e. roughly double-length. Therefore, I suspect that All In may be analogous to the S3 DuckTales episode "Let's Get Dangerous". "Let's Get Dangerous" was originally aired as a single double-length special, and later split into two separate episodes both for reruns, and for Disney+. "Let's Get Dangerous" also displays the same listing discrepancy, with Disney Press listing it as one episode with production code 313, while FutonCritic labels it as episodes 12/13. If indeed "All In" is split in reruns, like with "Let's Get Dangerous", then we may end up formatting the table entry either like this:

No.

No. in

  1. ^ a b This episode is a one-hour special. When aired as two half-hour episodes, the first part is titled "TITLE" and the second part is titled "TITLE".

To be clear though, this could be wrong, and it's possible "All In" will be consistently treated as one episode. There's no way to know until we can see how it is treated in reruns. What we can say right now is that it was produced under only one production code (317). — Jamie Eilat (talk) 00:29, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • That is according to the press, but that website also has an error with the 307 code repeated. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 17:54, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Honestly, at this point, the issue of production codes is besides the original question. My whole bit of speculation above was meant as a pre-emptive consideration, hence the word of caution at the end. When it came to the question of whether "All In" would be a two-parter or not, what ultimately mattered more was how it would be presented through airing and re-airing, rather than some behind-the-scenes production labels. And now that it has premiered, it seems pretty definitive that "All In" is a singular episode, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. You can check Disney Channel's schedule and see that it is in fact not being split up in re-runs.
    With all that, therefore, we can separate the issue of the accuracy of DGEPress vs FutonCritic from the initial debate of if "All In" would be 1 or 2 episodes. – Jamie Eilat (talk) 19:05, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    What about WebVoyage though? BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 19:30, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    WebVoyage only has entries going up to episode 7 of season 3, but it does seem fully accurate. And now that I've taken some time to look closer at DGEPress's production codes, I think that WebVoyage may be more accurate than Press – Jamie Eilat (talk) 20:47, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes. The Futon Critic also goes by production order beginning with "The Shut-In!". It is reliable for some other Disney shows as well. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 01:42, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    FutonCritic does seem to be more accurate than DGEPress. Press is missing s2 ep15 and mislabels the subsequent 4 episodes, but FutonCritic gives it accurately. Critic's 308 code is definitely more accurate than Press' duplicated 307. And though "All In" having two production codes does feel a bit odd, given that it's solely being treated as a singular episode, it is still a double-length episode, so it isn't nonsensical. FutonCritic does seem to have the leg up.
    Honestly, we can probably remove the DGEPress citation for production codes entirely. Besides those other inaccuracies, it's also missing nearly half of season 1. So we're already basically relying on WebVoyage + TheFutonCritic for production codes. May as well ditch Press fully. – Jamie Eilat (talk) 10:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should there be season articles[edit]

Going through the list is a bit difficult at times because there's a lot of long episode descriptions. Does anyone else agree that the seasons should each have their own season article? LeotheBoy1110 (talk) 17:47, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Disagree. The summaries can be shortened but there is not enough episodes to warrant a split. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 17:51, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That doesn't make sense because Gravity Falls has even less episodes and that has separate articles for its seasons. LeotheBoy1110 (talk) 15:10, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Placement for The Shut-In[edit]

So, the second season is apparently ordered by production, which I guess would make sense if its a List of Futurama episodes situation, but the problem is that the episode is entirely non-canon. So, what’s the point in listing the second season episode list by production order? The first and third seasons go by broadcast, so why does this season have to be any different. I know the creator implied where he would personally place the episode, but at the end of the day, the episode is non-canon, and I don't see much consensus on why is episode is placed as is.
