Re: "top" vs prepending
That is an implementation decision that Simant (who has been inactive for years) and Dantman (still reachable by email) made long ago. I'm not quite certain myself. 18:23, October 16, 2018 (UTC)
 * Didn't answer this, but yes, your proposed solution you left on my talk page seems totally fine. 21:37, January 1, 2019 (UTC)

 * For clarity, whenever people ask for the infoboxes from here, i just use the same response, which is to stop people blindly copypasting the infoboxes from here and expecting them to work. :D —Sajuuk 01:21, January 27, 2019 (UTC)

Re: tired property
Why is it more useful? It's only used for episodes, whereas Property:Japanese release is used for everything; books, movies, games, etc. By having two properties dedicated to release dates, two searches need to be performed to find out what was released in, for example, January 2010. If a person only wants to know the release dates of episodes, they can narrow the results of  to Category:Episodes/Concept:Episodes. ~SnapperTo 08:05, January 31, 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm not denying the usefulness of only having the release information for a specific media type. But, as I said, you can limit your search parameters to the media type you're interested in. It's not strictly necessary to separate them preemptively in anticipation of wanting that precision. To use your apples and oranges example, it would be like having one store that sells the apples and then another store that sells the oranges. It's useful from an organizational standpoint to have the separate resources for each produce, but if I ever want to buy both I need to visit two stores. Ideally, I would visit one store and limit my fruit needs to  or  . You may have the concern that the typical reader won't know how to limit their needs for a specific media type's release information, but that's why we have articles like List of Animated Media and List of video games: to provide a narrowed assortment of information.
 * Now you make the fair point that there's not much need to ever want to know the release information of all media types simultaneously; after all, apples and oranges don't pair well in the same pie. But that's not to say there's no need. For instance, if I wanted to have an area on the Main Page that shows the five most recent releases, I'd need only:
 * If your media-specific properties were used instead, I'd need a query for every media type, which would likely also give me far more than the five results that I want. Unless you know of a way to list results by a specific value rather than a specific property? Like say:
 * In the likely event that my arguments haven't swayed you, maybe you can at least agree that both styles of properties have their uses: have a combined property like I prefer and have the specific property like you prefer; in the infobox you'd use . ~SnapperTo 19:13, January 31, 2019 (UTC)
