In 2 places, the plot summary uses the phrase "hooks up with". What exactly does it mean there? Does it mean that they have sex, just hang out, make out, or what? -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:38, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello User:Ssilvers and User:Jack1956. Please don't attempt to gain more attention to this question by putting WP:HIDDEN text in the article itself. By that I mean you're asking a question, and the source code of an article is the wrong forum for asking and answering questions. Not only that, such a practice isn't sustainable - before long every editor would want to attract extra attention to their particular talk section (especially on talk pages with many active sections). Now, hidden text isn't all bad. Placing editor instructions right where editors edit can be useful - comments that consensus agree helps editors avoid making mistakes is fine (in moderation). But you're asking a question, or more generally inviting a discussion with your fellow editors. And that's what the talk page is for. If you wanted to draw the attention of the reader, maybe use a cleanup tag such as {{explain}}. And finally, if you believe the plot summary is false or misleading, simply edit the article. Thank you. CapnZapp (talk) 17:02, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I disagree with you CapnZapp, and apparently so do others. Hidden text is a perfectly good way to bring attention to an obvious problem with the plot summary. In this case, it uses slang, "hooks up", and it is not clear to readers what it means. It could mean that they have a conversation, or possibly kiss, or, more likely, have sex. Whichever it is, we should say so clearly. Wikipedia is not for slang. So, please stop obstructing progress on this article. If you have seen the film, then please clarify what is meant. However the [further explanation needed] tag is fine, too, so since it seems that it would make you feel better, I've added it instead. But you should not WP:EDIT WAR and instead use Talk pages, per WP:BRD. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
