Edit request: De-talicize the template's title edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

@Grapesoda22, Funandtrvl, Zyxw, and Frietjes: (Relatively) recent editors: Greetings and felicitations. As of this edit the title of the template is italicized, whereas that of Template:Infobox television is not (which seems to prove that this is not a necessary thing). I'm afraid I'm not knowledgable enough in the applicable markup/code to fix this. Would someone please be so kind as to do so? —DocWatson42 (talk) 09:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, it is supposed to show in italics, the other templates had italics set to "no" on their /doc pages. Funandtrvl (talk) 14:07, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Of course, there is a dispute going on about this very subject. Funandtrvl (talk) 14:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Templates should not be placed in italics. See MOS:ITALICS what titles are. There is a reason why those templates use the no setting on the template page. --Gonnym (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I've set the /doc page to no italic title. Funandtrvl (talk) 15:10, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Requesting New Field: Former Names edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Is "other_names" the place for prior names of the show? The description: "Other names that the show is called." is vague and feels like an afterthought.

How about a "proper" field, say: prior_names?

"syndicates" vs. "networks" edit

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In an edit on The Saint (radio program), someone changed "syndicates" in the infobox to "networks" with the accompanying edit summary "NBC, CBS, and Mutual were networks, not syndicates."

As I see it, the statement in the summary is correct. The problem is that the edit prevented the networks' names from appearing in the infobox. As I read Template:Infobox radio show, "networks" is not a valid parameter; "syndicates" seems to be the best-available parameter for listing networks. I reverted the change and posted an explanation on Talk:The Saint (radio program).

Does the infobox's structure assume that syndicates and networks are the same? If so, perhaps that could be added to the documentation. If not, could a "networks" parameter be added? Eddie Blick (talk) 03:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
