You should really have a talk with Billy about this, as he is thinking about doing something similar.

Unfortunately, I found it pretty hard to follow exactly what you are suggesting, but I will say this, as the template writing guy:

Firstly, I think it is a great idea to simply embed any and all html type stuff into the template instead of making users write it themselves.

Secondly, as far as release dates go, I would like for there to be a standard that uses only "Month Day, Year" or "Day/Month/Year" format, and nothing else. Not any of this "Digital first" b.s. And then we can use that to shove episodes of TV series' into the week categories as episodes that aired on such and such week.

Third, I made a push a few years ago to try to rename out episode pages to include seasons and episode numbers. This didn't pan out, and I think we're all happier the way it is now.

Fourth, there is a very specific way that episodes have to be filled out, and that series need to be named, in order for category magic to work on the image template and episode template pages. That needs to be kept in mind.

Other than that... I think I need a specific breakdown of what these templates ACTUALLY DO.
