449:. What's the point of having a template for something that we already have an entire article for? And on that note, last I knew, when a template is made for a given topic, its function is to link to major articles relating to the subject matter, not to just focus on a specific area of the subject matter. If we did that with every major franchise in film and television, we'd have pages littered with templates dealing with episodes, characters, actors, and various other subjects. We don't need a template to list episodes from a television series, the links provided on the

list of characters from a particular franchise. Please explain to me how a template with the names of episodes of a television series would in any way aid a person who is either unfamailiar with or only somewhat familiar the series in question? It wouldn't, there is absolutely no use for this template other than for the fans to conveniently navigate from one episode article to another. And again, Knowledge (XXG) does not pander to fans, for that go to
324:. Multiple shows also have templates containing the episodes for each season, where this template simply retracts the need for multiple templates by substituting one. Although there is an article for this same material, the current medium provides a space-friendly way to have these episodes presented. And length should have no bearing on whether this should be kept or deleted.
515:! No need to find the "List of..." article, something that someone unfamiliar with the site would most likely be terribly troubled to find. Now, let me ask you a question. How does this template hurt the article? As far as I see, it aids people familiar with the site, it aids people unfamiliar with the site; it aids people familiar with

myself, I know how fans of the show have a bad case of information overload which can often reflect itself in the way the show is represented on
Knowledge (XXG). But as for the issue with this particular template, I really can see no reason that this Template serves. This template is basically just a

I think that the real issue of this is that in the end, the template only serves for the benifits of fans of the show, but need I remind you that
Knowledge (XXG) does not pander to the needs of fans. I can't tell you how many articles for fictitious characters I've seen reduced to a brief entry in a

Again, your original premise and assumptions are false. An extremely simple reason someone unfamiliar with the show would find the template useful: someone comes to the site, remembers the title of and finds the particular episode of interest to him that he had previously seen (he's only seen two

who couldn't tell you the name of a particular episode. You can make up all these reasons for why this template is useful but I'll tell you right now: In my time at
Knowledge (XXG) I've seen articles and templates that seemed a hell of a lot more useful than this one deleted or merged with other

articles countless times, and I highly doubt this one will be any exception, even if my nomination is turned down. In fact, I'm willing to make a bet that this template won't be here two years from now… Eh who am I kidding, no I'm not! I'm a cheap bastard. –

It's not a question of whether it hurts anything, it's a question of neccessity. And regarding your example, not all the episodes have names that link it so clearly to the subject matter (e.g. "
