Forum:Add filler information to episode list?

Hi Narutopedia folks,

It has recently come to my attention that there is no comprehensive source of filler information for Naruto on the web. This is a great opportunity to make Narutopedia an even more frequently visited Naruto source than it already is: simply add information to the list of Anime episodes on what episodes are fillers, recaps, etc. Judging by my own preference and the number of questions about "what episodes are fillers?" out there on the web, this would be an appreciated addition.

Look no further than the Once Piece Wikia for an example of a good list of filler information. 99% of the time I visit that Wiki is to check out which episodes are fillers, and it has proved very helpful. It would be great if we could do the same for Naruto, especially considering how Naruto fillers are a bit harder to pick out from canon because they usually try to include some important characters and plot elements (for example, that Yuukimaru debacle had me fooled for a while).

I can start the template and perhaps add a few of the fillers, but I haven't read the manga, so I will need help. But I think this is something worth working on.

 * I'm sorry but I'm really confused, what exactly do we not have that that, extremely large list did?--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:04, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * He wants color codes on the list; i don't think we need that, all you have to do is go to the plot page, there are links to it at the top of the episode list article. Simant (talk) 02:59, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, you can look at the individual episode articles. If a manga chapter equivalent is given, then there's something non-filler about it. ~SnapperTo 18:48, November 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes like Simant said I was talking about adding something such as color codes to the episode list page. Now that Snapper has pointed out the existence of the plot pages, I can understand why it would be unnecessary to put filler information on the episode list page itself. But it did take me a whole forum thread to discover there was such a thing. Google search on "naruto filler" doesn't lead me to those pages at all. I think the problem is that the word "filler" doesn't show up on the page. I know it's a fan-created and informal label, but it's what most people refer to these "anime-only arcs" by, so what do you say about putting the word somewhere in those plot pages?

I support this idea ...--Elveonora (talk) 20:51, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

filler guide please!
I'd like to revive the idea of a filler colour guide in the episodes list.

The alternative solution that has been mentioned is impractical. Who would want to click through 100 pages just to see which ones are fillers or not? A filler guide will make sure that a person gets information that's relevant to them as quickly as possible. There is no valid reason that there shouldn't be a filler guide.
