Hey there,

I'm not a huge fan of storylink because it usually has to refer to the entire title of an episode (sometimes too long) and doesn't appear to mix well if used in actual lengthy pages, causing huge lines of information to become one liners, which is what happened with the Gaim pages months back. Also, the general appearance and how it looks with its background seems to clash with the pages and looks weird.

Taken inspiration from other wikias and their solution to not using storylink, I thought of something similar and more robust (kind of?) with just simple coding:

(TV/Special/Movie): (Title here)

because this can be managed and can shorten excessively long titles (like the Movie Wars) and can be more specific to also alert wiki viewers and users that: It's a TV Episode, a Movie, or a 'Special'.

So other examples are like (Special: Countdown to Global Freeze) and (Movie: Golden Fruits Cup!) instead of.

And if the summary of a character's biography is condensed to contain two episodes within 2-3 lines, this method can show two episodes with the same parenthesis like:

(TV: Why Did My Time Stop?, What is a Kamen Rider?)

instead of

__________________________________________________________________________________________ Would you think this would be acceptable as a replacement for storylink? I mean I don't think most users really like storylink which is why most of the storylinks were removed off the excessively long Gaim biographies because it didn't look clean/professional.
