No drop down info?
I've noticed for a long while now that the information for "English Information", "Episode Credits", and "Statistics" aren't droppable anymore. Is there any reason why for this? 06:36, December 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's fixed now.

Japanese vs. Kanji
I think the Episode Box should have Japanese Name rather than kanji Meshack (talk) 21:20, November 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's too ambiguous. "Japanese name" (or any variant of it) could refer to the base kanji name, the Ruby annotations, the full kanji+Ruby name, or the romaji rendering (and if you wanted to stretch your definitions, it could also cover an English translation of the name). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:08, November 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * But not everything is in kanji. Meshack (talk) 22:03, November 25, 2016 (UTC)

Art
I'm confused why the "art" parameter is labeled as "storyboard". Also where are you taking the credits for the episodes? From the episodes themselves or is there a site?

Most likely the credits. I think Toei's site only lists the episode names. Do we even really need a credit section though? SeaTerror (talk) 17:29, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Still, "Art" and "Storyboard" should be two different roles, so I'd like to be certain that we didn't confuse one with the other.

I want to add Animators list too below AD we need Staff column

Need Key Animation column in Episode Box - Credits
Need Key Animation column in Episode Box - Credits Give Separate column or rename other credits as Key Animation, so we can update Key Animation Staff names there. we can get Key Animation staff names from weekly episode opening .VickyDluffy (talk) 22:54, July 4, 2018 (UTC)

We don't include every credit. SeaTerror (talk) 08:18, July 5, 2018 (UTC)

Debut section
Is it allowed to use the "charDebut", "locationDebut" and "techDebut" entries? They have been in the template since 2013, but only few pages use them. Ampola (talk) 21:12, November 6, 2019 (UTC)

Interlanguage Specials
Currently the Episode Box is set to automatically create links to the corresponding episodes on other language wikis based on the # parameter. While this is a boon for normal episode pages, this presents an issue with specials, which generally aren't named numerically. Is there a way to except specials from this automation? I think it would be better to have the other languages list their translated links here rather than force them to adopt redirects that we dictate.

I will note that an automatic link can be overridden by placing the individual interlanguage link code above the Episode Box, but that doesn't really resolve the underlying issue. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 16:12, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

That should be possible, and after a bit of fiddling I have something that works in a test environment. I'll add the logic shortly and verify that it works as expected.

If it does work, the logic is implemented so that any article titled "WORD NUMBER" (regardless of what WORD is) will generate the interlanguage links as "EPISODE NUMBER" (with EPISODE in the respective language); basically, all existing episodes should work the same as now, while any page with a non-standard page name will be ignored.
