Wikipedia / TV complaint

On a wiki page for one TV series, the link for the episode list is not
always in the same place. Sometimes it is in the contents box,
sometimes in the middle and sometimes in the links list near the end.
The page for the Twilight Zone did not even have a link to the episode
list.

And since all the content comes from users, that would likely be
because whoever is writing the specific entries have a different style.

Unless someone actually gathers episode information and types it in,
there would be an episode guide. If they link to an external website
that has an episode guide, of course it would be an external link. If
there's no episode guide anywhere, then there won't be an episode
guide.

If you don't like something, you are supposed to add to the entry,
or edit it. That's the point of the whole project.

If you have some episode details, then you start adding them, and
that may encourage others to add to it.

ANd I gather you can bring up meta issues somewhere over there. So
you participate there, and try to invoke a standard template for
tv shows. I don't know how successful you'll be, but it will
achieve more success over there than merely ranting here.

The problem with TV is that it's a one-way medium, and people tend
to be mere consumers of it all. They sit back and let the content come
to them, and they don't react, though in part that's because there
is little avenue for reacting. But the whole setup leaves people
lost when it comes to the internet, because they can't see
themselves as anything but the consumers of content, they don't realize
that on the internet they are both consumers and creators of content.

Plus, for many people, they come to the internet with the expectation
that content is only coming from some monolithic corporation, so
they can't imagine a cooperative and communal site, that is more
interested in content than flash.

BRAVO !!! Michael.

Of course it does. It's in the infobox. It's always in the infobox.
See the "number of episodes"? If the episode list exists on Wiki,
that's the link.

There isn't one for Twilight Zone:

Captain Infinity...

Are you under the impression that there's only one "Twilight Zone"?
There is not. There are several. That article has links to each
incarnation. And like I said, if an episode list exists in Wiki, the
series will have a list link.

The article you're looking for is probably
The link to the episode list is in the infobox.

By the way, if you're new to the internet, a "link" is something you
"click" on with your "mouse". You're "welcome".

The list of eps on that page is only in the "See Also" section at the
end.
