Seeing that there seems to be articles on individual episodes of certain TV shows in Wikipedia that some might argue is unencyclopedic (due to the fact that they contribute little other than an episode summary), how about a television episode guide based on the Wiki philosophy (a "Wikivision" perhaps)?
Just lump small summaries together into larger, list-like articles for the relevant seasons. This is already done for minor fictional characters. No need for a separate project.
I disagree here. It's a matter of level. If we are talking about title plus a one-line description of the various episodes, then I agree with you that this is the way to go. But if we're talking about a 2 or 3 paragraph overview for each episode, I would not want to have it in Wikipedia.
Likewise those minor characters - An overview of the various minor characters in a book or a series is something I think would be good for Wikipedia to have. But if someone goes and writes a whole article about one minor character from a book (or even a major character from a minor book), it's not what I want to see in Wikipedia.
