Episode list split

I feel as if there shouldn't be a separate page for the episode list quite yet, as typically this only happens once more than one season is produced before being discussed. CrypticalFiery (talk) 01:07, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What’s wrong with having links on the properties of the characters?

It’s ridiculous for someone to remove links from the character’s properties. That’s just nonsensical. HappyINC (talk) 23:24, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Episode List

The episode list needs to be changed to what a modern Nickelodeon show episode list is like (ft. The Loud House, Lego City Adventures and It's Pony). The episode list doesn't make any sense and all the episodes need to formatted in the actual broadcast order (ft. The Futon Critic).

Why are we doing this? Well, please read WP:CRYSTAL and MOS:TV. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 06:19, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Production codes, and distributor.

First, regarding production codes, several sources imply it's 52 episodes (similar examples being Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own and Care Bears: Unlock the Magic, not 26 episodes with 52 segments, as the page implies.

https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/rainbow-butterfly-unicorn-kitty-takes-off-with-jetpack/ "Aimed at kids 6-11, Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty (52 x 11’ + half-hour holiday special) centers on spirited and adorable kitty named Felicity who acquires magical and majestic powers."

https://jetpackdistribution.tv/news/jetpack-acquires-international-rights-for-funrise-s-rainbow-butterfly-unicorn-kitty "The series comprises 52 X 11-minute episodes, including one half hour holiday TV special."

Even if the show aired as 22 minutes of 26 segments, that's not how it was in production order. Therefore, in the production code list we should list it that way.

Regarding the distributor, once again the words "distributor" and "distributing" are mentioned specifically in many articles regarding Jetpack's pickup. Examples from the top articles are "Indie global kids and family content distributor Jetpack Distribution has picked up international rights to Funrise’s new animated series Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty. The deal grants Jetpack distribution in Canada, Latin America, Europe (excluding Italy and Russia), Australasia, Asia, Africa and the Middle East." and "Independent global kids and family content distributor, Jetpack Distribution, announced it has acquired international distribution rights for the brand new animated TV series Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty, created and produced by California-based toy and entertainment company, Funrise." Just because in other cases the network is the distributor it does not mean that is always the case, as is shown here. JDB555 (talk) 03:19, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Even if announced as a Cartoon Network series, according to The Futon Critic, the series was originally produced as a half-hour series. The Jetpack source does NOT even have any production codes AT ALL. If the series was produced as an 11-minute series, please show me another reliable source for proof, but WITH production codes. Until then, leave the episode list alone. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 05:18, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

52 x 11 is explicitly stated, implying the show was not produced as 22 minute 2-segment episodes as you erroneously claim. If it was produced as 52 x 11 episodes, then it wouldn't be produced as a half hour series. Especially since it's been stated by the literal distributors themselves.

https://kidscreen.com/2019/02/19/jetpack-takes-off-with-rainbow-butterfly-unicorn-kitty/ Here's another source that says "52 x 11", NOT 26 episodes. https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/international/rainbow-butterfly-unicorn-kitty/5138274.article Once again, "52 x 11 minutes; 1 x 30-minute holiday special." The show couldn't be 52 x 11 minutes but produced as a half hour show, as most sources say.

A good example would be the aformentioned Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own, where although Futon Critic claimed it was made as 26 2-segment episodes, all other sources pointed to 52 x 11. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/hzcpzf/rainbow-butterfly-unicorn-kitty-episode-guide/ This, once again, mentions each segment as separate. So all sources seem to point to the production order being 52 x 11, NOT 26 x 22. JDB555 (talk) 13:53, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know RBUK is originally produced as separate 11-minute episodes now, but that source from RadioTimes doesn't show all production codes. Nickelodeon just likes to combine episodes together to make a packaging order. Look at the article List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes for an example. Each episode is listed in the packaging order. I know the page thinks of production instead, but when clicking on the pages for the individual seasons, they will say that the episode list goes by the packaging order. With RadioTimes source being incomplete, just use the The Futon Critic source. Replacing it with the source from RadioTimes would be violating WP:WINARS.

The creator of the cartoon stole the idea from a child. Here is a comment and the author has proof and links to evidence. 67.164.18.219 (talk) 03:25, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
