| I think MAL could directly import some data from Wikipedia via the MediaWiki API by enumerating the pages under the Lists of anime episodes category (670 pages, thousands of episodes) and then parsing the source of their Japanese episode list template. This would save a lot of time and effort, compared to manually entering all the information. |
| Additionally I think a notification like "we're missing X episode data for this entry" would help a lot. |
 |
| Great new feature hope it will filled up soon :) |
 |
| I don't know if its possible but a feature/function to keep track of episodes and arcs you may have left out (like fillers) but want to go back and watch at a later date. Hope that makes sense. |
| I have noticed the episode list when I click on different anime and I have to say it looks great! Thank you for your hard work. Greatly appreciated. |

So If anyone has a middle ground or can compromise then I would accept it, rather than removing it completely.. because My EYES!!. Somethings can be better Compacted and restrained, like the Recs that take up more room than the episodes.10th_man_down said: The episode "spam" on the anime page got annoying for me, don't need any more reason to scroll through even more stuff so I adblocked it.

Paulo27 said: I DON"T see Recs as USEFUL so Just keep it in the TABS. Actually just put remove everything and leave them in the Tabs.

I told you the Main page is to only Preview content, one must click on "show more" "show all" in order to get all necessary and full usefulness for each feature. This is a new feature and I expect more relevance for it in the future. So far it helps with/ potentially for those who seek further information for finding episodes or something in that nature. |

Rasco said: What the hell is the point of previewing episode titles by themselves? Other parts are also previews but still stand by themselves, unlike this one which is completely useless on the main page, it's like having reviews only showing the score and the user or only having what is shown before the "show more" and said button taking you to the tab, or recommendations only showing the anime, or staff or characters without saying who they are or do. And you know why reviews and recommendations were expanded to 4 entries? So you didn't have to click the "more reviews" button.Paulo27 said: I've yet to see an argument that supports them being on the main page, I can see the name of the first 5 episodes, in English and Japanese!

Paulo27 said: The point is to have a type of "table of contents" It keeps everything consistent. It could even help with reviews if you refer to certain episodes.

And no you Still need to click The "more reviews" button, Unless your totatally bias and only read the ones on the Main page. This is why I advocate for reviews to rotate randomly to not have the same reviews on the top. And also no thats not the reason they added more reviews and Recs, it was to display more user content. And did you seriously say it was useless? Now your just being contradictive. Lol You still need click on "show more" for staff and characters unless your highly uninterested for the other characters. In which case that's a self defeating argument. |

| you finally repositioned the thing, thank you! |
| :3 |
Kuma-Kuma said: holy crap. i never thought he would take my suggestion seriously lolPlease move Episodes on the Detail tab to below Staff and right above Reviews. I think that would be the perfect place for it. i'm probably not the only one who wanted it moved there tho LOL |
 |
| I barely look at that but I do when an anime has episode 0 and I'm like huh 0?! O_o It's a nice feature don't get me wrong. |
| Nice new placement. I wonder how many users even noticed it got moved, lol. Not seeing any complaints, so it's probably all good. ^^ I like it. |

| The problem is that now while we are in anime forums we have a big link that says "episode information" but it leads to nothing, is like broken or something. I think it would be better if it just linked to the normal page about the anime. Besides the episodes are listed in details and you can click to see them all. Also when you actually click on an episode it would be good that other than only getting the summary for the episode you also had a link to the episode discussion. That will be convenient for users that are looking for an episode discussion and are annoyed having to look for it threw a tone of pages in the anime forums. Especially if the series has many chapters episodes and many threads about all kind of conversations about the show. |

SO allow us to also submit forum links to each title; As in adding a official Box in the Episode Detail submissions.Monad said: Also when you actually click on an episode it would be good that other than only getting the summary for the episode you also had a link to the episode discussion.
