: Night is not an official part of the title. The "Miniseries" articles are split up between "Night 1" and "Night 2," because the Miniseries originally aired over two nights. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 13:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

::Following the usual naming conventions, shouldn't the articles be properly titled "Miniseries, '''Part''' I" and "'''Part''' II"?--[[User:Dvd-junkie|Dvd-junkie]] 15:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:::The Miniseries is unusual in that it is one complete entity (and has only one production number) split over two nights. This is unlike a two-part episode (like "Kobol's Last Gleaming," for instance) that was treated by the production staff as two different episodes with two different production numbers. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 19:30, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
::::Still, it's an odd title. It isn't even a title. On the other hand, the original series pilot isnt't titled "Saga Of A Star World, pre Camp Davis breaking news" and "Saga Of A Star World, post Camp Davis breaking news" (or "Saga Of A Star World, Parts I through III" since it was split after its first airing). Why does the article have to be split at all? Since it is one entity, why not merge the articles and simply mention that it was split for airing?--[[User:Dvd-junkie|Dvd-junkie]] 23:26, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::The article was split for browser/MediaWiki performance issues, not to mention readability. It is easier to split articles that are overly long, like the Miniseries or SOSW than to merge everything together. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 23:46, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
