Killer Camp

Thanks a tonne for removing the US ratings from Killer Camp's series page. When I first created the page it didn't include any of it, but then Some Dude From North Carolina came in and added the US ratings column and ratings table in Reception. I reverted the edit once but they just added it back. I haven't been editing for very long...so I reckoned that maybe there is some Wiki policy that allows US ratiings to be added to British shows that I'm unaware off, so I let it slide. I also wasn't really interested in starting an edit war. But it always felt weird to see American viewership data for a British show. They've done the same thing for Fridge Wars. TheRedDomitor (talk) 16:45, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

TheRedDomitor, yeah, no worries. There's been the odd editor here and there who always liked to add US details to a non-US series, including dates, ratings, etc. I think it's specifically because they started airing reruns on The CW for a lot of series, but that doesn't mean US ratings should be added; a very related discussion is at Talk:Stargirl (TV series)#Viewers, where the consensus was to add broadcast ratings after being released through VOD, but only for that one series. I've done the same removals for Fridge Wars, cheers. -- /Alex/₂₁ 01:23, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

RfC

I labeled it because it took me five minutes to find it. Gleeanon409 (talk) 06:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Gleeanon409, how so? The RFC is titled "RFC: What should the naming convention for television season articles be?". -- /Alex/₂₁ 06:27, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes, but only as a subsection of another title which makes no reference to an RfC. Gleeanon409 (talk) 08:08, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Gleeanon409, I simply structured it the exact same as my previous RFC at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)/Archive 16#U.S./American in WikiProject Film/Television, which had no issues. -- /Alex/₂₁ 09:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Title style question

I have another question but I'm posting it here so to not derail the RfC. How would a title like Big Brother 22 (American season) work in any of the new versions? I'm having a hard time figuring this out. --Gonnym (talk) 13:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Gonnym, why not just follow Big Brother (Australian season 12)? It's also known as "Big Brother 12", same as how Big Brother 12 (American season) is, but the article lists at the typical format, so it'd be moved to Big Brother (Australian TV series), season 12). Same concept? -- /Alex/₂₁ 13:43, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Wish that was possible, but some reality series articles have shown that RS refer to the seasons as "X #", in this case "Big Brother 12" and not something like "The 12 season of Big Brother", which resulted in some reality articles with a disambiguation style like this. --Gonnym (talk) 13:46, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Gonnym, then I'd say keep it as it is. The title of the season is Big Brother 22, and we are disambiguation it from other seasons as an American season, hence it makes sense to disambiguate it thus. My issue with the current format of NCTV is that typically we disambiguate it as "Show (season #)", but that indicates that the season is titled "Show" and we're disambiguating it from other media entries titled the same; it's not. But in this case, the title of the article is the title of the season. -- /Alex/₂₁ 21:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Burlesque film article titles

Hello, I saw that you renamed Burlesque (2010 American film) and Burlesque (2010 Australian film) to Burlesque (American film) and Burlesque (Australian film), respectively. I'm curious: wasn't the original style correct per WP:PRECISE and WP:PRIMARYFILM? -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 15:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

No. Double disambiguation should not be used when it's not necessary. "2010" does nothing to disambiguate those articles from any other. Disambiguation should be as precise as possible. -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:23, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

The titles of the three Deltora Quest series (in Australia and North America respectively)

The titles "Deltora Quest 2: Shadowlands" and "Deltora Quest 3: Dragons of Deltora" are not correct. "Shadowlands" and "Dragons of Deltora" are, first of all, only used in North America. In Australia the books the three series were simply "Deltora Quest", "Deltora Quest 2", and "Deltora Quest" respectively. Secondly, "Shadowlands" and "Dragons of Deltora" were not subtitles in the North American releases but instead the main titles, with them not using "Deltora Quest" for those two series. And thirdly, the second series was "Deltora Shadowlands" and not simply "Shadowlands" in North America. --Luka1184 (talk) 17:36, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

(cont'd) Furthermore, Cavern of the Fear is officially Cavern of The Fear with "the" being capitalised. The title refers to a monster that's called "The Fear" and not "the Fear" in the text. Sometimes this title has been wrongly written as "Cavern of the Fear" with a lowercase "the" in official and legal texts by Scholastic, including inside Deltora Quest books themselves, but not on the book's own title page, Emily Rodda's website (she does not list books anymore, but used to have a book list there), or at the top of every page from that specific book in the Deltora Quest 2 bind-up released by Scholastic. --Luka1184 (talk) 17:45, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Luka1184, I listed them as such to save room in the navbox; listing the full titles stretches it beyond necessary. And "the" is correct per MOS:CT; Wikipedia has its on policies on capitlization, which we follow. -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:14, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello my friend

Can you help me to edit a page title Draft:Batman: Death in the Family please. Blackknight1234567890 (talk) 10:43, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits/scripts

Firstly, thanks for your accessibility edit to an episode list I created recently. It’s nice to know there’s a script to help with that! I noticed that the newer tablecolour script creates an edit summary that links to the infoboxcolour page. — cBuckley (Talk • Contribs) 00:16, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Cbuckley, no worries, glad to help! I've actually made 13 scripts I've made, you can find them at User:Alex 21/Scripts, if any of them are something you need. Thanks for the heads up in regards to the link, I had no idea! That means it's been that way for over four years, my bad! -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:22, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Episode table question

Alex, do you know if someone has changed the {{Episode table}} code recently? It used to be that you could just add |total_width= to tables, and they would "fit" automatically to page widths (e.g. would fit with Infoboxes). But as of a couple of days ago, you now need to do |total_width=auto to get the same effect... I'm wondering if this change was intentional, and if so, why. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

IJBall, yes, that was me, after the discussion at Template talk:Episode table#"total_width" issues. I could see if I can modify the code again so that |total_width= (i.e. including the parameter but setting it to blank) sets the table to an auto width, if that would help? -- /Alex/₂₁ 02:36, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

OK, yeah, that's interesting... But, yes, best-case scenario: "auto" would still work as "auto" (which I gather is what your recent change did(?)), but leaving the parameter blank would also default to "auto". Thanks! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

IJBall, all done! Test cases:

Not set (100%):

No.

Set to 70%:

No.

Blank:

No.

Auto:

No.

-- /Alex/₂₁ 02:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Yep, I just tested it an an article myself, and it's back to behaving the way it did before when you leave |total_width= blank. Thanks again! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:53, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Listing upcoming episodes

Hey, sorry to bother you but I've noticed your knowledge about policies and convention in here, especially regarding the Television topic and was wondering if it's allowed to list, with reliable sources, titles, airdates and production staffs for upcoming episodes that have not yet been released because I'm having trouble with some user that claims that it is not. If it's allowed, what kind of convention or rule should I redirect them to prove it? They also claim that we should wait until the episodes aired on American platforms, even if it's about a Japanese anime. Many notable and reliable monthly anime Japanese magazines provide one month worth of episodes in advance, but only in the original language, so is it also allowed to use an unofficial provisionnal english title literaly translated from the Japanese one while waiting for the official english title from the licensed company? Because they usually do during the preview of the next episode. Thank you. Closesophy (talk) 03:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Closesophy, your contribution history shows no edits to any articles; where are you having this trouble, and on what account are you making these edits? -- /Alex/₂₁ 04:41, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Sorry but I never used an account on Wikipedia, I just use my public IP to edit, I just made this account to contact you so you know that it's me when responding because my IP keeps changing everytime. I have this problem with a few articles but it would be nice indeed if you can look by yourself for example on One Piece (season 20) which is one of them. This user doesn't seem to know that much about the source used here but on the other hand, he's not trying to understand it either and that's the problem most of the time since it's completely in Japanese, I've tried sourcing it as much as I can but it's not enough apparently, should I post a screenshot of the magazine? I don't think that would be okay since it's a paid magazine but I can if you need any details. Closesophy (talk) 05:21, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Closesophy, I would recommend posting the same question to WT:TV to get an answer from the community; I'm not overly knowledgeable in the area of anime. Cheers. -- /Alex/₂₁ 01:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

I see, I don't think it would make a difference whether it's an anime or not since even the Anime and Manga WikiProject doesn't have a guideline or poilices about it and instead redirect to the Television WikiProject, they even recently updated their modules and templates to fit with what is done in here, anyway, will do thanks.

Big Finish Productions - The Eighth Doctor

Extended content

Hey Alex21. Whilst perusing The Eighth Adventures via BFP official webiste. It seems notable that they have incorporated Dark Eyes, Doom Coalition, Ravenous and Stranded all under the Banner of the eighth doctor adventures. Thought: Is it worth merging the pages Dark Eyes (audio drama series), Doom Coalition, Ravenous (audio drama series) and Stranded into The Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio drama series) page and make EDA more comprehensive? R2Mar (talk) 18:49, 8 September 2020 (UTC) R2Mar, I've actually been thinking the same thing recently. Big Finish reorganized their website last year, and I've wondered if it's worth updating. The Eighth Adventures is one of these, but they also now have ranges for other Doctors that don't have separate series. For example, The Fifth Adventures: "No Place Like Home" special, "Cuddlesome" from DWM, "Return to the Web Planet" from Bonus Releases, and The Fifth Doctor Box Set. They got rid of the Bonus Releases section, and heavily trimmed the Special Releases section, merging them into separate Doctor adventures releases. Six and Seven also have their own Adventure sections. -- /Alex/21 00:21, 9 September 2020 (UTC) R2Mar, just wanted to see if you saw my response? Especially now in regards to 10DA and Dalek Universe -- /Alex/21 13:03, 16 September 2020 (UTC) Alex 21 I still concur with the above. Things could be more concise. Especially with The Eighth Doctor. But how conise is concise? Where does should the line be drawn? Dalek Universe is more of a tricky point as its listed partly within The Fourth Doctor Adventures for the prologue and The Tenth Doctor thereafter. R2Mar (talk) 10:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC) R2Mar, yeah, that's why I reverted two splits of it (to 10DA and then on the parent BF article), since it really need to all be together. I can make a list of all the changes that would need doing, and see what we agree on. -- /Alex/21 11:05, 17 September 2020 (UTC) Alex 21 I believe that would be acceptable.

There is a lot to go through. R2Mar (talk) 09:11, 4 October 2020 (UTC) Big Finish Productions updates R2Mar, I've started the updates at User:Alex 21/sandbox3.

I think they should stick to where they are, as the first two are spin-off releases and the third has more than one volume: "Jago & Litefoot: Voyage to Venus" and "Jago & Litefoot: Voyage to the New World" to "The Sixth Doctor Adventures"? "UNIT: Dominion" to "The Seventh Doctor Adventures"? Classic Doctors, New Monsters to Special Releases?

Response

Alex 21 I have since updated Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor Adventures and Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures. I've created Doctor Who: The Fifth Doctor Adventures, Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor Adventures and Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor Adventures although notability will need to be established for each new page. R2Mar (talk) 11:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

R2Mar The only major update left is to merge Dark Eyes (audio drama series), Doom Coalition, The War Doctor (audio drama series)#The Eighth Doctor: The Time War and Ravenous (audio drama series) into the Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor Adventures article. Thoughts on the last three dotpoints above? -- /Alex/₂₁ 11:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 I've completed moving all the information from Dark Eyes, Doom Coaltion etc. just need to sort out the redirect/merge R2Mar (talk) 12:12, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

R2Mar, great, thanks! Cast and all was copied across too? -- /Alex/₂₁ 12:15, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 JLF V2V and New World. Only listed in 6DA, Unit Dominion is key to Doctor Who as well. Classic Doctors should move to Special Releases. As for the cast lists there was an expansive Dark Eyes cast. I limited it down to the key roles. Compare and see what you think. R2Mar (talk) 12:18, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

R2Mar, looks good to me! Made a few formatting changes, and it looks like everything is transcluding to the main list properly. Still not sute about J&L though, as they're still entries to a spin-off and belong to another seires. And Classic Doctors, I'd agree with moving it, if there was only one volume, like how I moved Excelis. Given that there's two, it easily stands as its own series. -- /Alex/₂₁ 12:29, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 The main point now specifically across the board Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh. Notability is going to need to be established. Any thoughts how we can cover this to meet WP:N

R2Mar Summaries for each of the episodes would be beneficial, as well as a "Development" section on how each special and series came to be, perhaps? -- /Alex/₂₁ 12:37, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 Thought where casting is becoming complex with the lead characters ie. Fourth and Eight in particular. Would it be worth tabulating rather than listing some of the cast to span the series. Something like this?

Actor/actress	Character	Appearances
		S1	S2	S3	S4	S5	S6	S7	S8	S9	S10	S11	S12	S13
Tom Baker	The Doctor	Main
Louise Jameson	Leela	Main		Main				Main		Main			Main
Mary Tamm	Romana I		Main
Lalla Ward	Romana II					Main				Main
Jane Slavin	Ann Kelso								Main

R2Mar, yeah, that'd be completely fine! -- /Alex/₂₁ 13:47, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 are there any other table formats that could be used rather the above or is this the only option? R2Mar (talk) 14:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 Both T6DA and T7DA are getting flagged now mate. I don't know if you have any suggestions. Beginning to get concerned all this work may get deleted. R2Mar (talk) 16:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

R2Mar, they just need expanding with more sources and content, that's all. If they are deleted, then we just included the tables at the main list page, no biggie. And that's probably the best table, but for 8DA, you could split the table into two, like how we have it at List of Doctor Who cast members. -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:09, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

While we're talking Big Finish, here's some details on how the spin-off releases are categorized. Not to say anything needs reorganizing, but just some notes.

• Series: Class, Counter-Measures, Cyberman, Dalek Empire, Gallifrey, I, Davros, Jago & Litefoot, Sarah Jane Smith, The Diary of River Song, The Lives of Captain Jack, The New Counter-Measures, The Paternoster Gang, The Robots, The War Master, UNIT, UNIT: The New Series,
• Special releases: "The Worlds of Doctor Who", "The Eighth of March", "Masterful", The Churchill Years, Tales from New Earth, Jenny: The Doctor's Daughter, Lady Christina, Missy, Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon, Donna Noble: Kidnapped!, Susan's War, Master!, The Lone Centurion
• Catergorized separately outside of Doctor Who and its spin-offs: Charlotte Pollard, Graceless, Vienna, Torchwood, Bernice Summerfield, Iris Wildthyme
• Catergorized as a Doctor Who release and not a spin-off: The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield

Alex 21 A quick note on your thoughts. With most ranges recieving tabulated cast lists. How do you feel an approach should be taken to Torchwood's overcomplicated cast structure? R2Mar (talk) 01:34, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

@R2Mar: How about this?

Actor	Character	Appearances
		Main Range						Specials			Torchwood One			The Story Continues
		S1	S2	S3	S4	S5	S6	Singular	SCJ	TSP	S1	S2	S3	S1	S2

It's definitely more complicated, since with 4DA and 8DA, we just add columns for new releases to the end, given that the previous releases have concluded, but here, we'll need to add new columns within the table. Definitely for S7 of the Main Range next year, possibly for further seasons of TWO and TSC, and if SCJ and TSP ever get a second season then we'll need to convert them to their own headers like TWO and TSC, outside of Specials. But for now, this would do nicely. -- /Alex/₂₁ 03:18, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Alex 21 Well I tried but an anonymous user deemed it to overcomplicate things. R2Mar (talk) 20:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Cobra Kai Season 3

I might just be missing something so just asking since I don't deal with Netflix shows a lot - when Netflix states a premiere date do we automatically assume that all episodes release on that date? Just from everything I've read it says that it will premiere on Jan 8th not that all episodes will release on that date. I know Netflix has had other release schedules than releasing all at once. Thanks! TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:22, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Sense8 Logo

You might want to know that I have updated the copyright status on one of your files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sense8_Title.png) from fair use to public domain. The title card depicted in the file is believed to be too simple for copyright protection in the United States (where Netflix, the original author of the file, is based). This decision was based on precedent found on Wikimedia Commons such as https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Looney_Tunes_Show_title_card.png, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Minniesyoohoo01.jpg, and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Legendary_Title_Card.png.

Looking ahead with Series overview

In my testing for transclusion options for the MCU TV table, I notice that for when we need to separately code What If season 2 (presumably on a Phase Five article), {{Series overview}} will not have the color show up in the row if we start with the season 2 parameters. See below for what I mean. Can that be fixed? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:16, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Series	Season	Episodes		Originally released			Head writer	Status
				First released	Last released	Network
What If...?	2	10		TBA	TBA	TBA	Pre-production

@Favre1fan93: Fixed! (The msising cell here is just the lack of a Network entry.) -- /Alex/₂₁ 04:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

@Alex 21: Great thanks! Is the issue fixed for all seasons that are not 1 as well (so say if we start with 3 or 4 and don't have the network)? And yeah, presumably there will be another series before What If season 2, and if not, we'll put the network in that row. :) - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:47, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Favre1fan93, yep, should be! Before it was counting seasons from 1 to the number of rows included (which was also 1, so it couldn't even count to color2); now it counts from 1 to the highest numbered season (in this case 2, or 3 or 4 in a future case). -- /Alex/₂₁ 22:42, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Favre1fan93, while I've got you here, the Forbes referenced used for WandaVision's finale date also states "WandaVision’s six episodes will run through February 19, and we can expect The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (which was supposed to be the first MCU TV show out of the gate) in March". Can we use this to support a March 2021 date for TF&TWS? -- /Alex/₂₁ 22:51, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Great about the template, thanks again! Forbes contributor articles are not considered reliable sources (Mendelson is a contributor) so it's a bit iffy as is using it for the WandaVision end date. Personally I'm not that concerned because ultimately the ref will not be there once the date comes and passes. As for FWS, because it's a Forbes contributor article, I would advise against using it at this time, unless another source confirms that speculation. I'm also not even sure where Mendelson is getting that as a release window. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:18, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Makes sense. Thought I'd check on it before making any edits. Cheers. -- /Alex/₂₁ 00:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
