I have added a split template to suggest that the list of episodes and summaries be moved to a new article titled List of The Owl House episodes, as they add a ton of length to the article. I don't think this would be a controversial split, but I thought I would put it up for discussion first. Emflazie ( talk) 19:09, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
The article as it exists currently is over 100kB, which is well within WP:SIZESPLIT's guidelines to split the article. A significant portion of that is the episode summary section, which will only get longer as new episodes air. I think it is reasonable to split the article. Emflazie ( talk) 19:46, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
It's true that some of the episode summaries (at least in the second half of the season) are a bit long, but most are pretty close to 200 words, which is about how long TV summaries are supposed to be, and trying to cut down would be both unnecessary and detract from the quality. I do think the later episodes could be shortened by ~100 words or so, but as the summaries make up almost half the article, it isn't enough to help the length issue (although the consensus seems to be to not split). Emflazie ( talk) 14:38, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
"Plot sections should summarize the core storyline(s), but not offer a scene-by-scene sequence of everything that happens, or attempt to evaluate, interpret or analyze it."This is straight from MOS:TVPLOT. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 05:43, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
Historyday01, I don't know when season 2 is supposed to air, but I think that is the best course of action, since consensus doesn't support splitting the article right now. Emflazie ( talk) 15:19, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
I think a page is needed this page is at 114K series two should put this at 150-200K, and there will be more I think we should work on a darft just before the second series (like start the darft in janury) it is not relly the amount of epiodes, it more overall size both DT after only 29 whiles BH6 after 42 epiodes Fanoflionking 17:35, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
"Readable prose size", not "total page size". At this article too, the 'Characters' section, and probably the episode summaries, are over-written, and should be trimmed. Now this article has more readable prose because of the 'Reception' section (and, considering its length, I wonder if this section is over-long and WP:UNDUE currently). But even thinking about splitting before season #1 is done is completely wrong-headed, and a split really shouldn't happen until after a second season, when a third season starting up. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 05:43, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
as said above The length of the episode summaries is not the problem! If you shorten them just because you think they're not long enough it should be overall page not just perfice sectons Fanoflionking 09:23, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
Maybe when there's more episodes (mid season 2 maybe?) We can make a episode list article but it really doesn't need it yet. ConstructorRob18 ( talk) 22:38, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
This is a bit of a branch from another discussion but I suggest that by mid Season 2 we should make a separate article for the list of episodes. This is because The Owl House doesn't have 2 11 minutes episodes in 1 full episode, they make 22 minute episodes that air by themselves. Since there are only 19 episodes at the time I see no need yet, but we should do that by mid Season 2 whenever that may be. What are your thoughts? ConstructorRob18 ( talk) 20:39, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, that would make sense. -- Historyday01 ( talk) 02:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
The summaries are still too long so not a good idea. BaldiBasicsFan ( talk) 02:56, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
I thought someone cut down the summaries recently... I mean if they are too long, perhaps they should be trimmed again. -- Historyday01 ( talk) 03:15, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
I understand from the comment that some of the material from this section that I removed in my edit is missed. Can we talk about it here? Coming in as a new reader it felt like there was an enormous amount of detail that had been added recently day by day, tweet by tweet, as the situation unfolded, and that there could be value in simplifying the account so the central story doesn't get lost - for instance, is it still valuable to talk about hints and foreshadowing of lgbt inclusion when it was explicitly confirmed shortly after? And are all the reactions by animators, actors, other creators, relevant? Also the big paragraph about a single cartoon brew story and whether it was fair to what the creator said, which seems to be really in the weeds. No problem with material going back - and some might belong in a fine grained lgbt in cartoons history as proposed - but maybe we can work on shaping this section? I don't feel that it's totally worthless with some of the detail removed, but rather has the potential to be more impactful. BrightVamp ( talk) 03:53, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
A couple of article sections that could be good models are Steven_Universe#Gender_and_sexuality and The_Legend_of_Korra#Gender,_race_and_sexual_orientation BrightVamp ( talk) 04:09, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Sigh. I understand what you mean by the amount of detail, but I think "simplifying the account so the central story doesn't get lost" would weaken the section as a whole. The compromise here is to just to move it off to the History of LGBTQ characters in animation: 2020s page, as I have done. I see every part of the story, including the "big paragraph about a single cartoon brew story" as you call it, to be important. So, any further work on the section should be done on the History of LGBTQ characters in animation: 2020s page, not on this page for The Owl House. That is why I stand by my view that it is "totally worthless with some of the detail removed." I would say that the show itself has "the potential to be more impactful." Your changes won't make the Wikipedia page a beacon that people will flock to for answers. You can cite the Steven_Universe#Gender_and_sexuality and The_Legend_of_Korra#Gender,_race_and_sexual_orientation pages, as you have done, but the Legend of Korra section is relatively weak, while the one for Steven Universe is a little better. Neither is a good example for the content which has been removed and moved to the history page. Historyday01 ( talk) 13:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
That seems like a reasonable compromise, to get into the granular detail about the history of the announcement on a separate page. The edit, however, omits the announcement itself, which is highly relevant to this section: that the creator explicitly confirmed the characters to be LGBT+ (not just "subtext and hints"). So I have added that quote and citation back, and also made text changes for redundancy. I also added a citation for them being the first occurrences of a regular LGBT+ animated character (not just female) in a Disney show. BrightVamp ( talk) 23:14, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
For the past month, the "Episodes" section has had maintenance notification indicating that the episode descriptions needed cleanup. At this point, I think the issues mentioned in the notification have been fixed. None of the episode descriptions go over 200 words now, and none of them have actors'/actress' names in them anymore. However, I don't want to just declare all issues fixed & remove the maintenance template without first making sure other editors agree that the episode descriptions have been adequately cleaned up. Jamie Eilat ( talk) 04:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
I would have to agree with you. The episodes descriptions seem fine with me, and I think the notice should be removed. Historyday01 ( talk) 05:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Is highlighting the overall number of the episodes from the table episodes table so unnecessary? I saw this in several articles and also from the Wikipedia language I came. Isn't there a way to make these things automatic?In fact, even if something that is announced In the table is something from the future, like the third season cell, it should be hidden using "<!- - and --!> Because this can be frustrating for those who edited the part in question. Ninve67 ( talk)
Can someone please explain why SpoilerTv is considered an unreliable source when the ratings are provided by Nielsen? If SpoilerTV isn't as accurate because it uses Nielsen ratings, so was ShowBuzzDaily with their non-disclosed source. thetvratingsguide also provides ratings exclusively for the owl house which has similar numbers as SpoilerTv ( http://www.thetvratingsguide.com/2021/06/the-owl-house-season-2-ratings.html) -- CocoBrei835 ( talk) 06:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Now I know we discuss it a few times for the split of episodes and decide on doing it when it will get to 50 episodes but now the the announcement it will end with series 3 it will be the total episode count to 43 less then the 50 episodes so the question is will we keep it all together or do a split of episodes Fan Of Lion King 🦁 ( talk) 21:44, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
Like what I did to Adventure Time, I recently did a translation from this article to the correspondent Chinese article, 奇幻貓頭鷹小屋, and I think I need to give some feedbacks.
There are some sentences that is added but is not mentioned in the original source:
Also, the "short summary" of each episodes are too long, and so I didn't translate them at all, and it has not refs either.
In addition, I shuffled and merges some of the sections like below, and I guess this can be the new form if I can translate actually it back:
Before | After |
---|---|
|
|
And last but not least, is it really that necessary to add when it aired in other countries? And was it the same channel in Hungary and Czech? The source seems to be merely a Hungarian one. - George6VI ( talk) 16:44, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Speedily reverted the undiscussed move. Paintspot Infez ( talk) 13:44, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
The Owl House (TV series) → The Owl House – The page shouldn't have been moved without a discussion, and I would have argued against moving it if there had been one. It seems to be clearly the primary topic based on every common metric in WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY, and a hatnote was fine per WP:ONEOTHER; no disambiguation page is necessary. Alphius ( talk) 07:13, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
I think it should be good to add more images to this article, and I know it's quite strict to add non-free images to any given article in Wikipedia, but I can't find one in Wikimedia Commons. So I wonder, what kind of image can be found there? Crew members, cosplay, photo of promos or what? (These are some I can come up so far) - George6VI ( talk) 02:40, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
@ Moviemaker204, BaldiBasicsFan, Enda McNabola, Lutesque, MrBlueBirdLover6, and Tehr: what is going on with the Characters section? All of you have made either additions or removals to that section, and it's been back and forth for days. Can someone help me understand why they feel their version is best? Firefangledfeathers ( talk) 17:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
I stopped adding stuff after people kept removing it. I'm trying to add the actors/main characters. But some people have been removing it. People deserve to know who the main characters are. Willow, Gus, and Amity have bigger roles in season 2 probing they're main characters Moviemaker204 ( talk) 18:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
Firefangledfeathers ( talk) 01:58, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Characters list: In a section labeled "Characters" or "List of characters", indicate noteworthy characters, including the name of their portrayer, followed by a brief description of the character.
I am glad to say that, thanks to the content of this article, I was able to translate it to Chinese, and now, that article becomes a Good article! - George6VI ( talk) 01:37, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

This page includes several links to Reddit. The guidelines discourage linking to Reddit in general although there are some exceptions WP:RSPREDDIT. I tried to cleanup the reference a bit but a robot thought I was adding links to Reddit when I was only trying to improve what was already there.
If there is a local consensus to use Reddit links there should be some discussion to make that clear, but I don't see any. Perhaps now that the series is in its second season Reddit could be replaced with better sources? -- 109.76.137.229 ( talk) 22:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
An editor restored the Reddit references insisting that the Variety reference was not enough.
[5] The Variety article
[6] may not be as succinct but it says the same thing in a more verbose way: "First Bisexual Lead Character" (Luz) and that the show depicts "a relationship between Luz and the recurring female character Amity" and "Series creator Dana Terrace substantiated viewers’ theories on Twitter that this was indeed a portrayal of an LGBTQ relationship". This seems more than enough to me.
If other editors believe it is not enough I welcome their suggestions on how to replace the Reddit references with something better, so as not to bring down the wrath of our robotic overlords. --

In the LGBTQ+ rep part, it says "Eda Clawthorne is shown to have feelings for Raine, confirming Eda to be queer." However, I don't think attraction to non-binary people inherently means one is queer. Labels are kind of flexible and can differ from person to person, but I think it's generally agreed that you can be straight and like non-binary people. Maybe it can be changed to "Eda Clawthorne is shown to have feelings for Raine, implying Eda might be queer." STIK2009 ( talk) 23:23, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry I was just doing your typical encyclopedia building when, I reverted a non-vandal edit. So many self reverts later I am just going to keep one eye on the page, and my hands off the keyboard.

So, the Episodes section just got split off into its own article, but it seems as though there was no discussion/decision on whether to do so beforehand. This seems to have been something done fairly spontaneously. Now, I know from the above discussions that the question of if/when to split off the episode section has been a recurrent one, so I feel it would be good to get a sense of how the other major editors feel about the split that just suddenly occurred. I mean, if we're all cool with it, then we're all cool with it, but if anyone protests then here is the place to speak up. — Jamie Eilat ( talk) 09:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Something about Disney censoring or removing scenes in some countries [1] [2] could be added. It could alternatively be in the Criticism of the Walt Disney Company article.
Pneen ( talk) 13:37, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
I think it would be a good idea to split the "LGBTQ+ representation" section into its own page. There is much to discuss regarding how the show handles its LGBT representation beyond one small section, both as a show on its own terms, and in context to both Disney and children's animation in general. I think there should be an article discussing various aspects of the show, from its handling of Luz and Amity's character arcs, to Raine's nonbinary identity, to LGBT acceptance in the Boiling Isles. The article should ideally be titled something like "LGBT representation in The Owl House". All of the links already used in the main article can apply to this new article I am suggesting.

I stopped adding stuff after people kept removing it. I'm trying to add the actors/main characters. But some people have been removing it. People deserve to know who the main characters are. Willow, Gus, and Amity have bigger roles in season 2 probing they're main characters Moviemaker204 ( talk) 18:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

I am glad to say that, thanks to the content of this article, I was able to translate it to Chinese, and now, that article becomes a Good article! - George6VI ( talk) 01:37, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
So apparently Matt Braly went on twitch and stated that Amphibia and the Boiling Isles were connected.

Status: Unaired, this episode is most likely a early version of the first episode of season 1. the pilot had many differences from the final version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C6:0:AB50:593C:20B8:FC1B:B53D ( talk) 15:47, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
This page includes several links to Reddit. The guidelines discourage linking to Reddit in general although there are some exceptions WP:RSPREDDIT. I tried to cleanup the reference a bit but a robot thought I was adding links to Reddit when I was only trying to improve what was already there.
If there is a local consensus to use Reddit links there should be some discussion to make that clear, but I don't see any. Perhaps now that the series is in its second season Reddit could be replaced with better sources? -- 109.76.137.229 ( talk) 22:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
An editor restored the Reddit references insisting that the Variety reference was not enough.
[5] The Variety article
[6] may not be as succinct but it says the same thing in a more verbose way: "First Bisexual Lead Character" (Luz) and that the show depicts "a relationship between Luz and the recurring female character Amity" and "Series creator Dana Terrace substantiated viewers’ theories on Twitter that this was indeed a portrayal of an LGBTQ relationship". This seems more than enough to me.
If other editors believe it is not enough I welcome their suggestions on how to replace the Reddit references with something better, so as not to bring down the wrath of our robotic overlords. --

The animators also changed real-life elements to further distinguish the Boiling Isles from Earth, such as making the ocean purple. [1]

In the LGBTQ+ rep part, it says "Eda Clawthorne is shown to have feelings for Raine, confirming Eda to be queer." However, I don't think attraction to non-binary people inherently means one is queer. Labels are kind of flexible and can differ from person to person, but I think it's generally agreed that you can be straight and like non-binary people. Maybe it can be changed to "Eda Clawthorne is shown to have feelings for Raine, implying Eda might be queer." STIK2009 ( talk) 23:23, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
How are the colors of each season determined? I am adding season 3 (aka the 3 specials) on the Episode section. I know details have not been announced, but I am adding it, just in case. PuppyCatBree ( talk) 03:42, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Sorry I was just doing your typical encyclopedia building when, I reverted a non-vandal edit. So many self reverts later I am just going to keep one eye on the page, and my hands off the keyboard. I would help to clean things up, but I am not actually sure what is desirable. So I'll leave the mess to you. Sorry. Pabsoluterince ( talk) 06:40, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
So, the Episodes section just got split off into its own article, but it seems as though there was no discussion/decision on whether to do so beforehand. This seems to have been something done fairly spontaneously. Now, I know from the above discussions that the question of if/when to split off the episode section has been a recurrent one, so I feel it would be good to get a sense of how the other major editors feel about the split that just suddenly occurred. I mean, if we're all cool with it, then we're all cool with it, but if anyone protests then here is the place to speak up. — Jamie Eilat ( talk) 09:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Something about Disney censoring or removing scenes in some countries [1] [2] could be added. It could alternatively be in the Criticism of the Walt Disney Company article.

I think it would be a good idea to split the "LGBTQ+ representation" section into its own page. There is much to discuss regarding how the show handles its LGBT representation beyond one small section, both as a show on its own terms, and in context to both Disney and children's animation in general. I think there should be an article discussing various aspects of the show, from its handling of Luz and Amity's character arcs, to Raine's nonbinary identity, to LGBT acceptance in the Boiling Isles. The article should ideally be titled something like "LGBT representation in The Owl House". All of the links already used in the main article can apply to this new article I am suggesting.
