IndexPanopticon → Cliffhangers in Plot breakdown
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

I am the principle editor of the Colony In Space page. I have opted to write the plot summary as a single essay, not breaking it down episode-by-episode. Consequently, on more than one occasion I have added a description of the cliffhangers at the end, only to have this cliffhanger list removed by other users. Am I running against established Wikia policy?

It seems up to the discretion of the writer whether to summarize the plot as a single essay or in episodic format. If they opt for the former, it would be useful to include a list of the cliffhangers. If policy doesn't allow for this, can/should it be changed?

We do have a policy at Tardis:Format for television stories which specifies that the plot should be done episode-by-episode, which makes sense as you can include the cliffhangers there and it'd be the closest possible match to the action as it unfolded on-screen. — Rob T Firefly - Δ - 21:08, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
