Grouping Episodes on Filmmaker Info Page

Post by mpowell »

Just a note that we've implemented new functionality that groups episodes together underneath a filmmaker's page.

For example, the dozens of "Simpsons" episodes credited to Nancy Cartwright now appear under "The Simpsons", instead of individually.

As always, please let us know if you see any issues with this new functionality! Hopefully this makes the page a little easier to navigate and use :)

Looks good mpowell.
The total credits on a filmmaker's page still shows the total to include every episode of a TV series, not sure if that was the intent or not.

That was intentional, but looking at it again, I can see how that might be confusing. There's definitely something we can do to clarify that a little -- we'll take a look, and see!

If a filmmaker is only involved in one episode of a show, the episode does not show up on their page, only the series, which can be confusing. For example, Annette Bening's one Sopranos episode is not listed, just The Sopranos itself, implying she was in the main cast of the series (she of course is not listed at all on the show page).

Yeah, that's a good distinction. It'd be better to only display the "series" if they're involved in more than one episode. We'll take a note of that, and see if we can get that logic worked in!
