To help you understand this element, it's only beneficial if you don't hyper-correct and modify necessary content like episode titles and quotes. I'd rather have instances of contractions and "then" in an article than have to continuously re-edit behind you.

It is much neater, and reads much easier, if the articles are written in the former way. This reduces the repetitiveness of 'In Episode X'; for instance, "Throughout Season Two, Murphy goes through a significant personality change" is not very encyclopaedic, particularly when it can be rewritten to read easier, such as, "During his time on the ground, Murphy's attitude towards his fellow Arkers shifts significantly, and several times, he aids in the rescue and help of his people[1][2]".

For this to work, a new reference system would have to be used, however I have created a template that would not be difficult to put into use. You can see it here, and you can see its output here. It's mostly complete, however the red links would need to be created (though I can do that). (and there is a code so you can just hover over the [1] and have the details pop up)

Removing episode titles leaves a bulky and unbroken block of text with no way to easily read through it much less scan it quickly to find the information needed. It also makes it so people have to sit there hovering over citation notes to even figure out what episode an event happened in.

Know your audience. This is a TV show wikia created to easily provide basic information, not a fanfiction page or a book. Episode names are basic information and it should NOT require extra steps for the reader to find them.
