Talk:Legion Broadcast History

First thoughts

We should probably change the structure a bit to highlight the name of the series within the entries. The DCAU entries dont currently reflect that. With the current episodes listed, we could do that with a section header, although should there ever be an occasion when two series are overlapping, we'll have to re-think that. -- Gopher 06:32, 19 October 2007 (PDT)

• Option 1
• Option 2

Fairly simple - the first one is just to prefix the series title to the episode title, the other is a h3 header, ala the month headers in the LPH.

Disadvantages - 1 isn't that prominent, 2 breaks the link between the column headers and the columns to an extent.

Advantages - if intermixing becomes necessary, 1 is easier to work with, while 2 is clearly more prominient. - Reboot (SoM) talk page 12:04, 19 October 2007 (PDT)

Not sure I like Option 2. As you mention, I think it breaks up the page too much, and if we ever do have to intersperse series, I think it would be overload. I've added a couple more options. Sorry, I really need to see them side by side, so I put examples of all of them here.

• Option 3 restructures the table rows a bit, allowing a longer series title without squeezing the other cells in that row.
• Option 4 should look very familiar. At the risk of bringing too much sameness, it does provide internal consistency within the wiki and would be a heck of a lot easier to maintain. Much less table structure to stumble over, and we also wouldn't need the second header row for column labels. I realize now that after adding 20 or so episodes of the Legion cartoon, the latter ones will be so far away from the header that it won't be helpful. Works very well on the DVD pages, not so much on a long page of entries.

By bringing the series title into the individual entries, it might be more appropriate to add section headers for years, rather than the Series/Era mishmash I currently have. We could still color these by era, shading any individual entries that dont match the era.

I liked Option 2 until I saw Option 4, which I like due to its internal consistency with other entries. I disagree with section header by year, though, since that would lump the second half of season 1 with the first half of season 2 of the Legion series, and other than being broadcast in the same calendar year, they really shouldn't get lumped together like that. This is one exception where it makes sense to put the section header by series and season. -- Omnicom 20:42, 21 October 2007 (PDT)

Option 2
Superman: The Animated Series
	New Kids in Town	Butch Lukic Dan Riba	Stan Berkowitz Rich Fogel	October 31 1998	S:TAS 3.03

Option 3

	Brainiac travels back in time from the year 2979 to destroy a young Clark Kent before he becomes Superman. This version gives you less room to describe the episode, although we certainly have entries in the LPH that stretch longer than the norm. We can just valign the image and let the text extend down from there
