Separation from Gilmore Girls
I believe that this article should be separate from
Synopsis or plot summary?
Any support to make synopsis more of a broad overview without spoilers. We could still include a more detailed plot summary that deals with potential spoilers. As written, the synopsis section is very spoiler heavy. Knope7 (talk) 02:54, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

- A poor reply, Izno. Guidelines do not explain all; you should expand further. To conform wit other television articles and the local consensus of the Television WikiProject, the plot summaries should be moved to the episode table and the respective episodes, and the prose content should remain as a synopsis. ? 08:41, 30 November 2016 (UTC)]
- Spoilers are allowed, but not always necessary. As written, the synopsis relies heavily on spoilers. I understand that something being a spoiler alone is not a reason to remove it, but the section ignores several story-lines and leans heavily on events in Fall. Also, as written Lorelei reconciles with Rory even though the synopsis makes no mention of them fighting. I would prefer to try and minimize, if not eliminate, spoilers from the synopsis and leave them for plot summaries. Knope7 (talk) 03:46, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
- @WP:LOCALCON is not sufficient to override either of those guidelines. --Izno (talk) 12:47, 1 December 2016 (UTC)]
- Pretty sure policy basically overrules guidelines, but sure. The summaries should still be moved to the episode table. That's the entire reason behind the existence of

Pretty sure policy basically overrules guidelines
--please review what I linked. I'm a little ambivalent on where the summaries live--but since they're so short and unlikely to get much longer, and there are only 4 episodes, in this case it seems fine to leave them where they are. (The existence of a parameter of a template does not mean use of that parameter is required to convey some piece of information.) --Izno (talk) 13:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)- There could be one episode and the summary should still reside in the table. And if they are moved, then they are bound to be expanded by other editors; not sure how familiar you are with television articles, but this is the prevailing behaviour. ? 23:51, 1 December 2016 (UTC)]
summary should still reside in the table
That is a bold assertion without basis in sitewide policy or guideline. As I said, if someone wants to move them, I won't stand in their way, but then I see little reason to have a 'synopsis'/'plot' section whatsoever. At that point you're simply duplicating content, and that is certainly a bad decision. --Izno (talk) 12:52, 2 December 2016 (UTC)- I could name dozens of articles with both a plot/synopsis section and summaries in the episode table. It seems you are extremely unfamiliar with how content is display in television-related articles; the Manual of Style is the guideline upon which I base my "bold assertions" - I would recommend you read up upon it. A synopsis would be sufficient as prose, where the individual episode summaries can go into more detail. ? 13:16, 2 December 2016 (UTC)]
