Can we get a mod consensus on the spoiler:s08e14 vs. spoiler:s08e18 tags?

Given the fact Yakity Sax is a surprise airing of an unfinished episode, it’s safe to say it IS episode 18, and should be listed as such. To add some extra information… It’s been confirmed as episode 18 BY Hasbro. And because it was not aired officially, it was aired as a surprise episode. Proof of this is that some things in the episode appeared to be missing or out of place, as if the staff merely showed it as a spoiler, not an official release.
 
Edit/Side Note: This whole confusion over which episode number it is adds to the fact of how bad a episode Yakity Sax was.

Saying Yakity Sax is episode 14 is nothing but denial at this point. There’s more than enough evidence to prove it’s episode 18 yet all people say is “it aired early so that means it’s episode 14”. Why is it so hard for people to use their heads?

@Derpyfan  
Idk.

I approve of all the level-headed reasoned responses in this thread lately.

@Derpyfan  

 
Why is it so hard not to condescendingly talk down to people you disagree with?

@Frustration in Excelsis  

 
This.
 
@Group935Pony  

 
I’ll have to disagree with you right there.

@Frustration in Excelsis  
I speak only the truth and this has nothing to do with whether or not people agree with me.

I liked Yakity Sax.

>whole userbase says it should be 18  
>large majority of mods say it should be 18  
>3 mods decide it’s 14 so fuck everybody else I guess
 
Noice

@Background Pony #A629  

 
You are not wrong.

@Background Pony #A629  

@Background Pony #A629  

 
Yeah it’s pretty messed up.

@Derpyfan  
Agreed. As far as I know it is episode 18 and got aired early for some special occasion. So I would think Derpibooru would tag it as that and not go against every other site/source just because … I don’t know.

@Lead Pie  
Agreed. Give them time, they should fix it

@Group935Pony  
Yeah they’ll be forced to sooner or later.

@Derpyfan  
You’d think that…

Yeah, because in a few weeks when we delete the Season 8 spoilers this will all be super important until the end of time or something …
 
It’s just a spoiler tag - tagging episodes in the order that they air isn’t like a 10 foot monument on the state capital grounds saying the Bible isn’t 100% fact or something.

@Derpy Whooves  
It’s also the order in which the episodes appear in the tag guide. They’re going to be out of order for the rest of the site’s history. It might be a minor gripe, but it’s something that could have and should have been prevented.

@Derpy Whooves  
This statement tells me you don’t understand why people care about this.
 
@ArmadilloEater  
Eventually Discovery Family is going to rerun it as episode 18 and Netflix will have it listed as episode 18. What do you think is going to happen then?

@Background Pony #06D3  
What bugs me is how it’s talked down even though almost everyone discussing this wants to get it changed. One might start thinking this is how site discussions are made now…

@Lead Pie  
Doesn’t really make them look good that’s for sure.

@Background Pony #06D3  
You know we delete those after the spoilers are no longer necessary, right?
 
@Derpyfan  
I understand that people care about it.
 
But we also have to take into consideration how people use the site.
 
The vast majority of people who wanted to spoiler the episode from last weekend and the weekend before spoilered them based on air date.
 
And the number of people who spoilered “episode 18” in the absence of spoilering other episodes is almost trivial in comparison.
 
So - people are spoilering it in aired order. And on this site being able to spoiler the episodes as they air is more important than making sure that the numbers match.
 
After the season is over, these spoilers will only exist as implications on tags - the site doesn’t really have a way to see “episode FOO of season BAR”, unless you’re using the spoilers.
 
If people want a way to search for images based on “episode FOO of season BAR” based on some other sequence, then that sounds like a great idea for a tagging discussion.

@Derpy Whooves  
I’m referring to, I don’t know what we call it, the tag helper under the tag field. It has sections for every season, season 3 still has the wrong order of episodes. I remember being very confused by that once when I went to tag a screencap.

@Derpyfan  
Don’t ask me, us having to retag a shit-ton of images down the road has been one of my arguments for changing it to 18. At this point I don’t think that the few opinions that do matter will change, so probs better to do like that shitty ice movie said, and just let it go.
 
@Derpy Whooves  
We alias episode numbers into the episode tags, don’t we? Whole issue here is that the whole second half of the season will be tagged “incorrectly” according to official sources, as far as episode numbers go. Dunno how many people look for eps by number, and not name though.
