Category talk:Filler Episodes

Some fillers end up in the E section
And I can't figure out why. I fixed some but some I couldn't ... 128.79.0.176 23:06, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

it's broken. There's only one episode, 319 66.30.145.13 23:01, April 15, 2014 (UTC)

Okay...My kingdom and a Ferrari if someone can explain what happened. Double that if they can fix it. 02:21, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

I did the usual temp fix, this problem happens every so often (it'll just take a little while for the category to repopulate).

The way things currently work, the filler category is automatically added to any episode that doesn't have any corresponding chapters listed. Since we don't know which chapters/pages will be covered before the episode airs, it's currently rigged up so that it only categorizes the episode as filler if the episode has "aired", which is determined by reference to the Count/episodes template. The problem is that no-one can be bothered updating this template, and every few weeks it lapses and an error occurs because the current date does not correspond to any episode within the template.

The problem would be permanently fixed by removing the dependence on the template. Since Sewil is the one who set it up, he's probably in the best position to find a fix. If there was a way of replacing the call to the Count/episodes template with one that checks to see if the Unreleased template was on the page that would be the best solution, but I couldn't figure out a way to do that. 05:01, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
