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.
