 * Images don't need sort key, I was only talking about the categories. Since there is 46 episodes, that's 46 times. And since most users wouldn't be editing the category pages, errors are unlikely to be created.
 * My example of adding  or   was for , not for an image.
 * If for some reason we wanted to add sort key to images, which I'm unsure why we would, than it should be added by the template while it's adding the category, so once again, little chance of user error.
 * For template, I prefer passing episode # as parameter (vs passing episode name), reducing user error. Since it's template input, we can give the user a lot of flexibility and have the template understand multiple formats.
 * E.g. On other wikias I work on, I've created a "Template:Episode titles", which is a basic switch converting from ep# to episode name†, e.g.


 * The image-fairuse template could use a similar switch to get category name. That would give the user flexibility in what input they give the template, while maintaining strict category names.


 * Category names
 * Having added categories for hundreds of images, I never care about the prefix – instead I immediately start typing the unique part of category name (i.e. episode number or character name, e.g. "305" or "Marcus" or "Kane"), and the category helper immediately finds the category I want.
 * I still don't understand why/how "Image ([type])" helps the category helper. Or how it will remove useless suggestions. Because as a user, I'd never type "Image (", because that's a waste of time & wasting the functionality of the category helper – instead, I'd immediately start typing the "type" and thus it wouldn't matter if it was "Images of [type]" or "Image ([type])".
 * Parenthesis vs "of" or "from" is arguing over 2-4 characters. If you're so concerned over "meaningless padding" than remove the parenthesis since they are "meaningless padding". The shortest names would be "[ep # or character name] Images", not "Image ([ep # or character name])".
 * When using "screenshot" as part of category name, "image" is "meaningless padding" since screenshots are always images.
 * Btw, standard category naming practices is to use plurals, e.g. "Main characters", not "Main character"; "Templates", not "Template". Thus "Images", not "Image".
 * Also, notice current category names. E.g. "Male Characters", not "Character (Male)"; "Infobox templates", not "Template (Infobox)"; "Friendly Relationships", not "Relationship (Friendly)". We should use the same naming structure for all categories on the wiki.

† I then have other templates use the switch template. E.g. "Template:Ep" =, so in article pages I could write "In  ..." to get "In Wanheda (Part 1), ...". Another template, "Template:Ep-ref" creates little 'refs', e.g.[s1e3], so I can source info to the episode it came from (hover gives episode name, clicking goes to episode page).
