Perhaps it might be useful to discuss the episodes concerned when notability is supplied, as has been for two already Alastairward ( talk) 18:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Line from the episode gained popularity on t-shirts and in a magazine article.

This episode needs expansion too, to meet the notability guideline. Great work on the other episodes by the way. How do u find all these sources?-- Diaa abdelmoneim ( talk) 10:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Here are some sources we can work from:
Cirt ( talk) 05:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm getting the feeling that 3/4 of the examples are notable (I couldn't find much on the Terrance and Phillip one). My guess is that most of season 1 is notable, about half of the rest of the 1990s eps are notable, and probably just about all from the (post internet explosion) 2000s are notable. Not sure what to do with this information. It would be great if the SP project could start looking at them in groups of four or something, putting found references on the talk pages, and intelligently merging dubious ones, but since they only have one GA, they're probably not equiped to do such a thing. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 00:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
It looks like most, or maybe all, of the episodes are notable. Are we going to force Hunter Kahn to improve them all, under pain of redirection? Of the four test articles, it was easy to find refs for three of them, and Hunter Kahn found refs for the fourth, using Lexis Nexis or something. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 06:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
You seem to have problems understanding that the improved articles do meet the criteria for notability, thanks to the considerable efforts of Hunter Khan and others (not, I notice once again, you). Also, your edit summaries are somewhat discourteous and provocative. pablo hablo. 18:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't recall ever saying I wanted to delete any of them. Straw man alert.
Here's a mad idea. Instead of banging on about half-understood policies and "secret deletion", and "merge=delete", and what the evil "deletists" "want" to do, and what they "will be able" to do, and asserting that "fan's protests" make more sense than good-faith efforts by hard-working unpaid editors to improve Wikipedia, why not, just once, try and source an article yourself? Go on, give it a go. pablo hablo. 19:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Ok all, I've made a subpage on my user page with what I hope will eventually become the South Park Episode Notability Task Force as part of the South Park WikiProject. Check it out here:
As you can see, I plan to make little subpages for each of the South Park seasons listing all the episode articles currently failing the notability standards. I've set the loose deadline tentatively at October 31, just to give it a little more than six months, but I'm open to changing that. (Please bear in mind that I have never started a task force before, so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong so far.)
I believe the first step will be to bring this over to the South Park WikiProject and ask on the talk page for a consensus in starting this task force. But first, I wanted to run it by you guys and see if you had any thoughts, suggestions or criticisms. Also does anyone want to serve as a co-coordinator with me on this? Please let me know.
Thanks all! — Hunter Kahn ( contribs) 22:44, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) A good location/name would be Wikipedia:WikiProject South Park/Featured topic Drive, with the first step in the process being notability sweeps for individual episode pages. Cirt ( talk) 08:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
I did some reformatting to the topic drive page, at WP:SOUTHPARK/TOPIC. Please continue discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Park/Featured topic Drive. Prior to any GA drives, the first priority will be notability assessment sweeps of all episode pages. Cirt ( talk) 17:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject South Park participants have started a page at WP:SOUTHPARK/TOPIC to organize featured topic drive collaborations. The primary goal is to improve the quality of articles about South Park episodes, with the ultimate end goal of getting sets of episodes by season to Good Topic or even Featured Topic status. We are starting off by focusing on Season 1, to get it to Good Topic status, see Wikipedia:WikiProject South Park/Featured topic Drive/season 1. Any help is appreciated, and feel free to comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Park/Featured topic Drive. Cirt ( talk) 22:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Um, so what happened to the formatting changes to this page that apparently had consensus and were reverted by some random IP? You know, the actually sourced page? To clarify, if there was contention over the consensus (lack of opposition does equal approval), that's fine. But I'm pretty sure "don't fuck with a good thing" isn't the formation of a new consensus. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 19:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Ok, all of the season pages are up and running. They still need major work, but the basics have been started. Someone could probably go through and expand the plot summaries for each season (I don't watch the show), as most are just single sentences. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
This is the consensus? Two people (mostly bignole) in a new discussion thread? After the original format was returned, it remained that way for several weeks, which should say which format was preferred in this discussion. It's not a matter of looking cleaner, it's a matter of usefulness. Making individual season pages makes no sense because individual seasons are not notable by themselves, and just distributes information rather than adding it. Bignole is some sort of lone radical who just stated he doesn't even watch this show! It's truly ridiculous (and unencyclopedic may I add) that he would be drastically editing this or any of the SP pages without any knowledge of the show itself. Disgusting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1234onthedancefloor ( talk • contribs) 12:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
I think if you read above on the talk page you'll see that several people besides myself had earlier commented about this page's format being better before it was shortened. Whether or not other television shows use a similar format should not be the point, nor should the aesthetics be supported to the detriment of the content. If you watched the show, you would also know that the individual seasons of the show are not notable on their face because the episodes that comprise them are rarely related to each other. It's a silly way to group them. In a paper encyclopedia, the person writing the articles is familiar with the subject- you do not seem to be. What you're doing now is simply dispersing the same information that existed on one page, increasing the number of clicks someone has to make to access it. If you'd like to make season pages then fine, but I think this list should retain the short summaries; I simply don't see how your format improves anything besides making it prettier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1234onthedancefloor ( talk • contribs) 02:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Comment: Bignole ( talk · contribs) has done some great reformatting work to this page and it looks much better. Cirt ( talk) 11:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Please change back to the old formatting. This article used to be a very useful for finding a specific episodes but is useless now. A short, one line plot summary was much more useful than a few pretty colours. The title of each episode is usually vague and not enough to determine which one it is unless you are an extremely diehard fan. With the new format you have to click through and read each individual episode summary and check the individually = VERY ANNOYING! Gumdrop27 ( talk) 08:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
The short summaries really need to be pt back up. If I don't know the name of an episode, but know a little bit of the key plot, I want to be able to do a page search for it instead of going through every single article. This is ridiculous! As for the size, I believe someone else pointed out that it's not a piece of paper, so who cares how long it is! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.7.188.114 ( talk) 04:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC) It's not going to be changed back, is it? I have seen plenty of episode lists on here for long running shows with a short synopsis for each episode. It works so much better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.212.24.44 ( talk) 02:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

The chronology of season six is also inconsistent with southparkstudios.com.

Yeah, I have a thought. Bring back the brief summaries! Almost every other show's episode list has them. So if you're going to complain about the amount of space, go change all of them too.

Much to my disappointment, the episode listed to air July 6, 2009, "Whyatt Beanstalk Has Farty Pants", appears baseless. This is also entirely inconsistent with South Park's airing pattern over the past several seasons.

Does "On The Simpsons" deserve to be a "special episode"? It is neither in the canon of, nor in some way a part of, spinoff of, product etc of the series in question, and was a thirty-ish second parody which appeared on a different TV programme.

I went ahead and deleted the "On the Simpsons" segment from Special Episodes, as I cannot see how it is a "special sequence" (not being a sequence actually involved with the program in reference, but a parody of it in someone else's program, and deserving to belong in a "South Park: references in pop culture" segment, perhaps?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.11.133.70 ( talk) 14:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

How to handle episodes that have been migrated en masse to Hulu/iTunes/Amazon and are no longer available on South Park Studios? In fact, the episode I looked up most recently South Park Studios maintains is on Hulu, and Hulu says it's no longer in their archives.

Since the IPs haven't started this, I guess I will. The film should not be in the series overview table for an article that is a list of episodes. The film is not and episode, and as such, does not directly fall under the scope of this article. It is properly mentioned and included further down the article in the "Shorts, sketches, and other appearances" section. Additionally, an IP quoted in
this revision the following: "Following the standards for other TV shows that have feature-length films, it should have a redirection to the movie's article on the episode's section. It must be featured between the seasons on which it was originally released.
" Where did this come from, because this isn't a "standard" for other series. Yes, they may do that per
WP:OSE, but that does not mean it is correct. Additionally, @
Coffee:, as the protecting admin, I kindly ask you to restore the
WP:STATUSQUO of the article at this point, which is
this revision (noting that the status quo changed with an IP making the adjustment

So I added the film, since the Pandemic Special has its own section now, and I was wondering why in the past there was extreme opposition to having it even get a passing mention. List of The Simpsons episodes includes the movie, List of Steven Universe episodes includes the movie, and even List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, which doesn’t list the movies on the main table, gives them their own sections near the bottom of the page. If the film shouldn’t be on the table (which makes sense due to it airing in the middle of season 3), at the very least it should have a section somewhere on this page, as it is an official and significant piece of South Park media that didn’t even get a passing mention and has been warred in and out. Unnamed anon ( talk) 06:02, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Because the Simpsons is almost exclusively a television show, a reader may reasonably expect to see all of the Simpsons material here, so mentioning the movie in this article makes sense.I am not in any way advocating for the movie to be added to the table, but I absolutely believe that it deserves just some passing mention on this page, even if just one sentence i. prose like the current page has.

Is this good enough to go back on the featured list? Seems good enough to me. Govvy ( talk) 10:48, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Is the "Director" and "Writers" part really necessary? Most episodes, and for the past few seasons ALL episodes, are written and directed by Trey Parker. A handful from seasons 2 to 6 were directed by Eric Stough and occasionally from other staff members (co-creator Matt Stone directed two, "Spontaneous Combustion" and "Jakovasaurs"). In the early years there were "written by" credits given to other writers, but otherwise it's mostly just Trey.
It just seems redundant to me.
Hey user:QuestFour, let’s have a discussion about my recent edits the other day. My argument would be, that the section of shorts, sketches, and other appearances is redundant here. The list makes much more sense to be on the South Park franchise page since that article pretty much lists everything about the franchise. Like other episode articles, they list movies and exclusive web episodes. Considering that the list mostly contains from awards shows and TV specials, is non-canonically and redundant here. Kinsley Bottom ( talk) 23:57, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
The film should be listed here as it is common with TV shows with a film to list it in their episodes pages. For example: The Simpsons, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Jimmy Neutron, Phineas and Ferb, Beavis and Butt-Head, Sex and the City, The X-Files, Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys, etc. With some of these episode pages even been listed as a featured article with the film in their page. Just trying to be consistent with the others. Kinsley Bottom ( talk) 22:23, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Hard to believe I'm actually having to raise this an an issue, but it seems that there's a belief that the two recent special episodes have a runtime of one hour, despite it being easily demonstrable that they are actually 45 minutes. Or 47 minutes each, to be precise.
It makes no sense to include the advertisement breaks in the runtime. What about countries outside the USA with fewer than 13 minutes of advertisement breaks, or none at all? Or the runtime on streaming? Or the runtime on the eventual home media releases?
The latest reversion edit summary claims that "this discussion has been discussed in length in the actual episode articles", which is untrue. The Vaccination Special talk page has no mention of the runtime and the Pandemic Special talk page contains a discussion which did not reach a consensus.
The edit summary also claims that "this is not an infobox". Clearly it isn't, but what rationale is there for a mention of the runtime in an article contradicting the guidelines for runtime in an infobox? Barry Wom ( talk) 14:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
I do agree with Barry Wom. I'd also like to note that sources from CC rounding up the runtime to an hour are clearly just doing so becasue it's better for marketing purposes and shouldn't be used literally in this encyclopedic context. We actually had this debate before and came to reasonable compromise of adding a note that spelled all of this out, but it was evidently removed somewhere along the line and never restored. Grapesoda22 ( talk) 02:05, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
As User:SanAnMan has unilaterally decided to make changes without waiting for further input, I guess we need to bring this to a close. 2-1 support for using the actual runtime. Barry Wom ( talk) 07:07, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Let's discuss what we do agree on so far. I agree with you now that the use of the term "one hour" to describe the specials is not encyclopedically accurate, and that is why I removed that phrase from this article and the corresponding episode articles. I also agree with you that having the accurate time added to the articles' infobox is accurate and should definitely be there. So we agree on those points. I disagree with your edits on rounding off the runtime of the episodes to 45 minutes and then using a footnote to describe the accurate runtime. In reviewing other articles about television episodes (including other South Park articles) and specials, the run time of the episode/special is hardly ever mentioned in the lead of the article/section whatsoever since the infobox provides the accurate runtime. User:Grapesoda22 agreed with you that it is not acceptable to use the "one hour" phrase, but he has never said anything about your edits with the inaccurate run times. Your comment to me about not making edits until a consensus was finally reached is disputed by WP:BRD which states "when you have a better understanding of the reverter's concerns, you may attempt a new edit that reasonably addresses some aspect of those concerns. You can try this even if the discussion has not reached an explicit conclusion". Now, as per the WP:BRD process, I really think the best compromise at this point is to just eliminate all references of the run time anywhere in the articles other than in the infobox, which is the edit that I've made. - SanAnMan ( talk) 13:41, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
I've reverted the removal of the running times from the ledes. The discussion at WikiProject Television mentioned in the edit summary has been archived and can't be added to, but there is nothing at that discussion to suggest that we should not supply the runtime in the lede if it is pretty much the only reason for calling these "special" episodes.

There has been a massive misinformation problem with the airdates of Volcano (prod. #103; aired August 20th, 1997) and Weight Gain 4000 (prod. #102; aired August 27th, 1997). Currently on this page the dates are swapped, and this is a problem ALL OVER THE WEB. South Park's official site even has the incorrect airdates, as does IMDB and others (though I am trying to fix them there, too). Long story short: The first DVD set listed the wrong airdates on the package and when the show was made available for streaming those incorrect dates carried over. In fact, the SOURCE for the airdates that is currently cited on the page lists them correctly (with Volcano on the 20th and Weight Gain 4000 on the 27th), but they are still shown incorrectly on this wiki page. I have written about this extensively in a twitter thread: https://twitter.com/jixbyphillips/status/1423524075889065989
Please fix the dates and please don't let anyone change them back. Thank you.

Latest Dec 4 edit removed the South Path Post COVID episode from the page. This was an actual episode and should be added back to the table. Reverting the Dec 4 change should fix the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AstrumArchos ( talk • contribs) 04:29, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
If I may say, it is interesting that they’re being called "events" more than films, as recent promos have.-- CreecregofLife ( talk) 20:34, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I freely admit, at first I fought for these movies to be called "movies", and not episodes. But for the time, I have to agree that these "films" are nothing more than extended-length episodes. And they should be classified as such until proven otherwise. - SanAnMan ( talk) 17:53, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
FYI, I found a source which I have added as a cite that states that Parker and Stone do not consider the Paramount+ projects as films at all, and that it was ViacomCBS who decided to market them as such. And to me, if the creators don't consider them as true movies/films, then neither should we. - SanAnMan ( talk) 19:52, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Seems that further complications have arisen now that the two "special" episodes are confirmed as being Season 24. I disagree with the move of the Paramount+ films to follow Season 25. If the consensus is that the films are to be treated as episodes, I'd suggest we list each block of "films" with their year(s) of transmission. This would give the following structure for the episode table:
Season 24 Episodes 2 First Aired September 30, 2020 Last Aired March 10, 2021
2021 Films Episodes 2 First Aired November 25, 2021 Last Aired December 16, 2021
Season 25 First Aired February 2, 2022
2022 Films
Season 26
etc.

I also agree that the 2021 films should precede the 25th season as of right now there are only two of them, but should we also consider listing each paramount film as there on. - Season 24 - Post Covid - The Return of Covid - Season 25 There is no confirmation whether the paramount films will share continuity with the show or even themselves with future installments. The only examples we have right now were related to each other, but there are still 12 more paramount+ movies planned to be released and with the COVID story supposedly wrapping up with The Return of Covid, it is possible they could all be standalone and therefore not related. Zvig47 ( talk) 16:37, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
I feel as though the paramount films should be treated as both episodes and semi films until further come out. While they do share more similarities to slightly extended specials as opposed to the first feature film, they are films nonetheless. There is reason to list them in the way you have suggested above while also creating a page dedicated to the South Park films. For instance if they are indeed treated as episodes and the paramount films are treated as a “season”, it should have a page much like every other season. Season 24 was comprised of only two specials and that deserved a page, I believe the paramount films should be treated in the same regard. Zvig47 ( talk) 19:00, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
I think the films should have their own page and not be listed among the episodes. Trey and Matt have confirmed they're TV Movies, but they're not connected to any of the seasons and they're also not airing on Comedy Central, also have their own sort of ongoing storyline, and there's going to be 12 more over the next 6 years. It's going to make this guide more messy if we continue listing them among the actual series, as well as messing the episode count up since they were never intended to be added to the regular series episode count. OL.Wise.Editor ( talk) 19:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
With proper additions and constructive edits, I feel South Park (film series) would be a noteworthy addition and make future Paramount+ films easier to note and make the episode count less messy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zvig47 ( talk • contribs) 20:15, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
I’m also suggesting a new column for the television films. Much like there is a section listing “Episodes”, there should be one listing “television films” or “Paramount+ films”. Zvig47 ( talk) 03:22, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
While the first two films are connected, both Parker and Stone have said they would mostly be disconnected from the show. If the consensus agrees with the termination of the article, I will accept the decision, but if these movies are more like extended special, then much like the specials have a page for season 24, the movies should have a page for themselves too. Zvig47 ( talk) 16:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Plus, they're NOT even episodes themselves, they are their own thing, they're TV movies/films, they should NOT be counted as episodes, it will give a messy episode count that i'm sure they're not even going by. OL.Wise.Editor ( talk) 16:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
The article South Park (film series) can be subject to change, but not deletion. It can be more dedicated to the paramount+ films, but not deleted. I mean I understand what you mean when you say that the movies are like episodes, but of course they would feel that way. Made by the same people the same way as the show. It’s going to have a similar feel. The main reason why the two movies were about COVID was done so they could start fresh for season 25. They know no one wanted anymore pandemic stuff from South Park so they used their two, hour long made for tv MOVIES, and then were able to continue making season 25. It’s going to get messy if we count these movies as episodes. When they eventually reach Episode 400 and mention it, this page is going to be like 10 behind. If we have the movies be their own page and flesh out that page the redundancy you think is happening with that article will become less than every edit. Zvig47 ( talk) 17:16, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
I think they should be listed due to them directly affecting the events in the series, so if someone where to refer to the episode list to see what to watch next, they could get confused say, when Season 24 begins and the boys are now friends, cause the two movies that dealt with that plotline aren't listed Ryan Jay ( talk) 22:05, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Barry Wom recently added a cite from Futon Critic that shows that the two Paramount+ films from 2021 have production codes that are in alignment with the two special episodes now confirmed to be Season 24. Also, the consensus to this point has been that the Paramount films are, for all intents and purposes, extended-length episodes that just happen to have aired on a different network. Since the Paramount films also have matching production codes (something that has, to my knowledge, not been done in other kinds of TV movies) to the other episodes of Season 24, I propose that the two 2021 Paramount films be included in the article South Park (season 24). Feedback welcomed. - SanAnMan ( talk) 18:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

This will be on Paramount+ and Comedy Central.
I know that there was once a discussion about this somewhere. Some editors have taken it upon themselves, without discussion, to go back to all old SP articles and rename any reference of Token Black to Tolkien Black, due to the character's retcon name change in " The Big Fix". I do not see a reason to do this. There are existing DVDs, interviews, and multiple other web and media sources that all confirm that prior to the episode, the character's name was Token Black. Just because the producers decided to change his name on pretty much any media they can get their hands on (games, closed captioning of old episodes, etc.) does not mean that the character was not previously named Token. His name was Token until Parker/Stone decided to change it, and all articles up to "The Big Fix" should maintain the old name. I'd appreciate any feedback on this. - SanAnMan ( talk) 13:29, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
So we've got another Paramount+ special coming soon, but this time, the episode doesn't seem to have a production code (see [7]), plus the fact that multiple sources stated Credigree Weed St. Patrick's Day Special was definitely considered the finale of S25. It's definitely too early to call Streaming Wars part of S26. Also to note that the sources state another Paramount+ special will be airing some time this summer. So the question is how to list these in the episodes table? I don't think it's accurate this time to call Streaming Wars part of S25. Maybe we should just list a separate "mid-season" section after S25 and maybe call it S25 Films or such? I'm open to ideas on this one. - SanAnMan ( talk) 14:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Now that we’ve seen The Streaming Wars and see that it’s basically a continuation of Season 25, is it safe to say we should list it as such. Post Covid and The Return of Covid are both listed as a part of Season 24, and this is due to it containing elements of the previous specials and being a continuation of the story presented in them. The Streaming Wars is essentially a longer episode in Season 25, so I feel it should be listed as such instead of separated from that season. Zvig47 ( talk) 15:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@ SanAnMan:
On August 5, 2021, Comedy Central announced that Parker and Stone signed a $900 million deal for extending the series to 30 seasons through 2027 and 14 feature films [...] Two films were confirmed to be released at the end of 2021, which Parker and Stone later indicated would be made-for-TV movies.All four film articles begin by detailing each entry as an
American adult animated comedy television film.
ViacomCBS [...] decided to advertise them as movies. South Park also states in its lead
the series was renewed through 2027, and a series of films was announced for the streaming service Paramount+. {{ South Park}} lists the four entries under a Films category.
Either they are films and are to be listed as such, or they are not films and the prose and formatting detailing them need to be adjusted. These articles do not get a pass to violate the WikiProject Television and WikiProject Film's Manuals of Style. If you cannot find it in yourself to understand this situation, I am happy to take it to an expanded venue, such as an RFC. Cheers. -- Alex_21 TALK 03:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

@ Xery1234: I see you added this source to the rating numbers of episodes from seasons 1 to 10. This website, Ratings Ryan, doesn't seem reliable, as it is a self-published blog. I've tried to check, but I wasn't able to find evidence that the person behind it is a subject-matter expert either. According to Wikipedia policy, it is preferable for some episodes to be with no rating score from the absence of a reliable source that states it than including it while citing a blog. ObserveOwl ( talk) 11:27, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
The specials need to be included in the table, not just mentioned in a footnote. I just spent some time trying and failing to do this myself so I'm hoping someone more familiar with table syntax and formatting could help out.
I'd suggest having "Specials" in the Season column with "2" in the Episodes column with links to the Franchise article. Barry Wom ( talk) 15:36, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
I've tried playing with the table to have it go S24, Specials, S25, Specials, S26 so that they could be listed chronologically; but I can't seem to get the formatting and such to work out right.

Cirt ( talk) 05:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm getting the feeling that 3/4 of the examples are notable (I couldn't find much on the Terrance and Phillip one). My guess is that most of season 1 is notable, about half of the rest of the 1990s eps are notable, and probably just about all from the (post internet explosion) 2000s are notable. Not sure what to do with this information. It would be great if the SP project could start looking at them in groups of four or something, putting found references on the talk pages, and intelligently merging dubious ones, but since they only have one GA, they're probably not equiped to do such a thing. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 00:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
It looks like most, or maybe all, of the episodes are notable. Are we going to force Hunter Kahn to improve them all, under pain of redirection? Of the four test articles, it was easy to find refs for three of them, and Hunter Kahn found refs for the fourth, using Lexis Nexis or something. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) ( contribs) 06:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
You seem to have problems understanding that the improved articles do meet the criteria for notability, thanks to the considerable efforts of Hunter Khan and others (not, I notice once again, you). Also, your edit summaries are somewhat discourteous and provocative. pablo hablo. 18:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't recall ever saying I wanted to delete any of them. Straw man alert.
Here's a mad idea. Instead of banging on about half-understood policies and "secret deletion", and "merge=delete", and what the evil "deletists" "want" to do, and what they "will be able" to do, and asserting that "fan's protests" make more sense than good-faith efforts by hard-working unpaid editors to improve Wikipedia, why not, just once, try and source an article yourself? Go on, give it a go. pablo hablo. 19:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Ok all, I've made a subpage on my user page with what I hope will eventually become the South Park Episode Notability Task Force as part of the South Park WikiProject. Check it out here:
As you can see, I plan to make little subpages for each of the South Park seasons listing all the episode articles currently failing the notability standards. I've set the loose deadline tentatively at October 31, just to give it a little more than six months, but I'm open to changing that. (Please bear in mind that I have never started a task force before, so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong so far.)
I believe the first step will be to bring this over to the South Park WikiProject and ask on the talk page for a consensus in starting this task force. But first, I wanted to run it by you guys and see if you had any thoughts, suggestions or criticisms. Also does anyone want to serve as a co-coordinator with me on this? Please let me know.

Um, so what happened to the formatting changes to this page that apparently had consensus and were reverted by some random IP? You know, the actually sourced page? To clarify, if there was contention over the consensus (lack of opposition does equal approval), that's fine. But I'm pretty sure "don't fuck with a good thing" isn't the formation of a new consensus. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 19:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Ok, all of the season pages are up and running. They still need major work, but the basics have been started. Someone could probably go through and expand the plot summaries for each season (I don't watch the show), as most are just single sentences. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
This is the consensus? Two people (mostly bignole) in a new discussion thread? After the original format was returned, it remained that way for several weeks, which should say which format was preferred in this discussion. It's not a matter of looking cleaner, it's a matter of usefulness. Making individual season pages makes no sense because individual seasons are not notable by themselves, and just distributes information rather than adding it. Bignole is some sort of lone radical who just stated he doesn't even watch this show! It's truly ridiculous (and unencyclopedic may I add) that he would be drastically editing this or any of the SP pages without any knowledge of the show itself. Disgusting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1234onthedancefloor ( talk • contribs) 12:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
I think if you read above on the talk page you'll see that several people besides myself had earlier commented about this page's format being better before it was shortened. Whether or not other television shows use a similar format should not be the point, nor should the aesthetics be supported to the detriment of the content. If you watched the show, you would also know that the individual seasons of the show are not notable on their face because the episodes that comprise them are rarely related to each other. It's a silly way to group them. In a paper encyclopedia, the person writing the articles is familiar with the subject- you do not seem to be. What you're doing now is simply dispersing the same information that existed on one page, increasing the number of clicks someone has to make to access it. If you'd like to make season pages then fine, but I think this list should retain the short summaries; I simply don't see how your format improves anything besides making it prettier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1234onthedancefloor ( talk • contribs) 02:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Please change back to the old formatting. This article used to be a very useful for finding a specific episodes but is useless now. A short, one line plot summary was much more useful than a few pretty colours. The title of each episode is usually vague and not enough to determine which one it is unless you are an extremely diehard fan. With the new format you have to click through and read each individual episode summary and check the individually = VERY ANNOYING! Gumdrop27 ( talk) 08:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
The short summaries really need to be pt back up. If I don't know the name of an episode, but know a little bit of the key plot, I want to be able to do a page search for it instead of going through every single article. This is ridiculous!

I went ahead and deleted the "On the Simpsons" segment from Special Episodes, as I cannot see how it is a "special sequence" (not being a sequence actually involved with the program in reference, but a parody of it in someone else's program, and deserving to belong in a "South Park: references in pop culture" segment, perhaps?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.11.133.70 ( talk) 14:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Since the IPs haven't started this, I guess I will. The film should not be in the series overview table for an article that is a list of episodes. The film is not and episode, and as such, does not directly fall under the scope of this article. It is properly mentioned and included further down the article in the "Shorts, sketches, and other appearances" section. Additionally, an IP quoted in
this revision the following: "Following the standards for other TV shows that have feature-length films, it should have a redirection to the movie's article on the episode's section. It must be featured between the seasons on which it was originally released.
" Where did this come from, because this isn't a "standard" for other series. Yes, they may do that per
WP:OSE, but that does not mean it is correct. Additionally, @

So I added the film, since the Pandemic Special has its own section now, and I was wondering why in the past there was extreme opposition to having it even get a passing mention. List of The Simpsons episodes includes the movie, List of Steven Universe episodes includes the movie, and even List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, which doesn’t list the movies on the main table, gives them their own sections near the bottom of the page. If the film shouldn’t be on the table (which makes sense due to it airing in the middle of season 3), at the very least it should have a section somewhere on this page, as it is an official and significant piece of South Park media that didn’t even get a passing mention and has been warred in and out. Unnamed anon ( talk) 06:02, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Because the Simpsons is almost exclusively a television show, a reader may reasonably expect to see all of the Simpsons material here, so mentioning the movie in this article makes sense.I am not in any way advocating for the movie to be added to the table, but I absolutely believe that it deserves just some passing mention on this page, even if just one sentence i. prose like the current page has.

Is this good enough to go back on the featured list? Seems good enough to me. Govvy ( talk) 10:48, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Is the "Director" and "Writers" part really necessary? Most episodes, and for the past few seasons ALL episodes, are written and directed by Trey Parker. A handful from seasons 2 to 6 were directed by Eric Stough and occasionally from other staff members (co-creator Matt Stone directed two, "Spontaneous Combustion" and "Jakovasaurs"). In the early years there were "written by" credits given to other writers, but otherwise it's mostly just Trey.
It just seems redundant to me.
Hey user:QuestFour, let’s have a discussion about my recent edits the other day. My argument would be, that the section of shorts, sketches, and other appearances is redundant here. The list makes much more sense to be on the South Park franchise page since that article pretty much lists everything about the franchise. Like other episode articles, they list movies and exclusive web episodes. Considering that the list mostly contains from awards shows and TV specials, is non-canonically and redundant here. Kinsley Bottom ( talk) 23:57, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
The film should be listed here as it is common with TV shows with a film to list it in their episodes pages. For example: The Simpsons, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Jimmy Neutron, Phineas and Ferb, Beavis and Butt-Head, Sex and the City, The X-Files, Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys, etc. With some of these episode pages even been listed as a featured article with the film in their page. Just trying to be consistent with the others. Kinsley Bottom ( talk) 22:23, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
Hard to believe I'm actually having to raise this an an issue, but it seems that there's a belief that the two recent special episodes have a runtime of one hour, despite it being easily demonstrable that they are actually 45 minutes. Or 47 minutes each, to be precise.
It makes no sense to include the advertisement breaks in the runtime. What about countries outside the USA with fewer than 13 minutes of advertisement breaks, or none at all? Or the runtime on streaming? Or the runtime on the eventual home media releases?
The latest reversion edit summary claims that "this discussion has been discussed in length in the actual episode articles", which is untrue. The Vaccination Special talk page has no mention of the runtime and the Pandemic Special talk page contains a discussion which did not reach a consensus.
The edit summary also claims that "this is not an infobox". Clearly it isn't, but what rationale is there for a mention of the runtime in an article contradicting the guidelines for runtime in an infobox? Barry Wom ( talk) 14:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
I do agree with Barry Wom. I'd also like to note that sources from CC rounding up the runtime to an hour are clearly just doing so becasue it's better for marketing purposes and shouldn't be used literally in this encyclopedic context. We actually had this debate before and came to reasonable compromise of adding a note that spelled all of this out, but it was evidently removed somewhere along the line and never restored. Grapesoda22 ( talk) 02:05, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
As User:SanAnMan has unilaterally decided to make changes without waiting for further input, I guess we need to bring this to a close. 2-1 support for using the actual runtime. Barry Wom ( talk) 07:07, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Let's discuss what we do agree on so far. I agree with you now that the use of the term "one hour" to describe the specials is not encyclopedically accurate, and that is why I removed that phrase from this article and the corresponding episode articles. I also agree with you that having the accurate time added to the articles' infobox is accurate and should definitely be there. So we agree on those points. I disagree with your edits on rounding off the runtime of the episodes to 45 minutes and then using a footnote to describe the accurate runtime. In reviewing other articles about television episodes (including other South Park articles) and specials, the run time of the episode/special is hardly ever mentioned in the lead of the article/section whatsoever since the infobox provides the accurate runtime. User:Grapesoda22 agreed with you that it is not acceptable to use the "one hour" phrase, but he has never said anything about your edits with the inaccurate run times. Your comment to me about not making edits until a consensus was finally reached is disputed by WP:BRD which states "when you have a better understanding of the reverter's concerns, you may attempt a new edit that reasonably addresses some aspect of those concerns. You can try this even if the discussion has not reached an explicit conclusion". Now, as per the WP:BRD process, I really think the best compromise at this point is to just eliminate all references of the run time anywhere in the articles other than in the infobox, which is the edit that I've made. - SanAnMan ( talk) 13:41, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
I've reverted the removal of the running times from the ledes. The discussion at WikiProject Television mentioned in the edit summary has been archived and can't be added to, but there is nothing at that discussion to suggest that we should not supply the runtime in the lede if it is pretty much the only reason for calling these "special" episodes.

There has been a massive misinformation problem with the airdates of Volcano (prod. #103; aired August 20th, 1997) and Weight Gain 4000 (prod. #102; aired August 27th, 1997). Currently on this page the dates are swapped, and this is a problem ALL OVER THE WEB. South Park's official site even has the incorrect airdates, as does IMDB and others (though I am trying to fix them there, too). Long story short: The first DVD set listed the wrong airdates on the package and when the show was made available for streaming those incorrect dates carried over. In fact, the SOURCE for the airdates that is currently cited on the page lists them correctly (with Volcano on the 20th and Weight Gain 4000 on the 27th), but they are still shown incorrectly on this wiki page. I have written about this extensively in a twitter thread: https://twitter.com/jixbyphillips/status/1423524075889065989

FYI, I found a source which I have added as a cite that states that Parker and Stone do not consider the Paramount+ projects as films at all, and that it was ViacomCBS who decided to market them as such.

Seems that further complications have arisen now that the two "special" episodes are confirmed as being Season 24. I disagree with the move of the Paramount+ films to follow Season 25. If the consensus is that the films are to be treated as episodes, I'd suggest we list each block of "films" with their year(s) of transmission. This would give the following structure for the episode table:
Season 24 Episodes 2 First Aired September 30, 2020 Last Aired March 10, 2021
2021 Films Episodes 2 First Aired November 25, 2021 Last Aired December 16, 2021
Season 25 First Aired February 2, 2022
2022 Films
Season 26
etc.

I also agree that the 2021 films should precede the 25th season as of right now there are only two of them, but should we also consider listing each paramount film as there on. - Season 24 - Post Covid - The Return of Covid - Season 25 There is no confirmation whether the paramount films will share continuity with the show or even themselves with future installments. The only examples we have right now were related to each other, but there are still 12 more paramount+ movies planned to be released and with the COVID story supposedly wrapping up with The Return of Covid, it is possible they could all be standalone and therefore not related. Zvig47 ( talk) 16:37, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
I feel as though the paramount films should be treated as both episodes and semi films until further come out. While they do share more similarities to slightly extended specials as opposed to the first feature film, they are films nonetheless. There is reason to list them in the way you have suggested above while also creating a page dedicated to the South Park films. For instance if they are indeed treated as episodes and the paramount films are treated as a “season”, it should have a page much like every other season. Season 24 was comprised of only two specials and that deserved a page, I believe the paramount films should be treated in the same regard. Zvig47 ( talk) 19:00, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
I think the films should have their own page and not be listed among the episodes. Trey and Matt have confirmed they're TV Movies, but they're not connected to any of the seasons and they're also not airing on Comedy Central, also have their own sort of ongoing storyline, and there's going to be 12 more over the next 6 years. It's going to make this guide more messy if we continue listing them among the actual series, as well as messing the episode count up since they were never intended to be added to the regular series episode count. OL.Wise.Editor ( talk) 19:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

While the first two films are connected, both Parker and Stone have said they would mostly be disconnected from the show. If the consensus agrees with the termination of the article, I will accept the decision, but if these movies are more like extended special, then much like the specials have a page for season 24, the movies should have a page for themselves too. Zvig47 ( talk) 16:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Plus, they're NOT even episodes themselves, they are their own thing, they're TV movies/films, they should NOT be counted as episodes, it will give a messy episode count that i'm sure they're not even going by. OL.Wise.Editor ( talk) 16:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
The article South Park (film series) can be subject to change, but not deletion. It can be more dedicated to the paramount+ films, but not deleted. I mean I understand what you mean when you say that the movies are like episodes, but of course they would feel that way. Made by the same people the same way as the show. It’s going to have a similar feel. The main reason why the two movies were about COVID was done so they could start fresh for season 25. They know no one wanted anymore pandemic stuff from South Park so they used their two, hour long made for tv MOVIES, and then were able to continue making season 25. It’s going to get messy if we count these movies as episodes. When they eventually reach Episode 400 and mention it, this page is going to be like 10 behind. If we have the movies be their own page and flesh out that page the redundancy you think is happening with that article will become less than every edit. Zvig47 ( talk) 17:16, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
I think they should be listed due to them directly affecting the events in the series, so if someone where to refer to the episode list to see what to watch next, they could get confused say, when Season 24 begins and the boys are now friends, cause the two movies that dealt with that plotline aren't listed Ryan Jay ( talk) 22:05, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
Barry Wom recently added a cite from Futon Critic that shows that the two Paramount+ films from 2021 have production codes that are in alignment with the two special episodes now confirmed to be Season 24. Also, the consensus to this point has been that the Paramount films are, for all intents and purposes, extended-length episodes that just happen to have aired on a different network. Since the Paramount films also have matching production codes (something that has, to my knowledge, not been done in other kinds of TV movies) to the other episodes of Season 24, I propose that the two 2021 Paramount films be included in the article South Park (season 24).

This will be on Paramount+ and Comedy Central.
I know that there was once a discussion about this somewhere. Some editors have taken it upon themselves, without discussion, to go back to all old SP articles and rename any reference of Token Black to Tolkien Black, due to the character's retcon name change in " The Big Fix". I do not see a reason to do this. There are existing DVDs, interviews, and multiple other web and media sources that all confirm that prior to the episode, the character's name was Token Black. Just because the producers decided to change his name on pretty much any media they can get their hands on (games, closed captioning of old episodes, etc.) does not mean that the character was not previously named Token. His name was Token until Parker/Stone decided to change it, and all articles up to "The Big Fix" should maintain the old name. I'd appreciate any feedback on this. - SanAnMan ( talk) 13:29, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
So we've got another Paramount+ special coming soon, but this time, the episode doesn't seem to have a production code (see [7]), plus the fact that multiple sources stated Credigree Weed St. Patrick's Day Special was definitely considered the finale of S25. It's definitely too early to call Streaming Wars part of S26. Also to note that the sources state another Paramount+ special will be airing some time this summer. So the question is how to list these in the episodes table? I don't think it's accurate this time to call Streaming Wars part of S25. Maybe we should just list a separate "mid-season" section after S25 and maybe call it S25 Films or such? I'm open to ideas on this one. - SanAnMan ( talk) 14:43, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Now that we’ve seen The Streaming Wars and see that it’s basically a continuation of Season 25, is it safe to say we should list it as such. Post Covid and The Return of Covid are both listed as a part of Season 24, and this is due to it containing elements of the previous specials and being a continuation of the story presented in them. The Streaming Wars is essentially a longer episode in Season 25, so I feel it should be listed as such instead of separated from that season. Zvig47 ( talk) 15:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@ SanAnMan:
On August 5, 2021, Comedy Central announced that Parker and Stone signed a $900 million deal for extending the series to 30 seasons through 2027 and 14 feature films [...] Two films were confirmed to be released at the end of 2021, which Parker and Stone later indicated would be made-for-TV movies.All four film articles begin by detailing each entry as an
American adult animated comedy television film.
ViacomCBS [...] decided to advertise them as movies. South Park also states in its lead
the series was renewed through 2027, and a series of films was announced for the streaming service Paramount+. {{ South Park}} lists the four entries under a Films category.
Either they are films and are to be listed as such, or they are not films and the prose and formatting detailing them need to be adjusted.
