Template talk:Infobox television season

Changes needed to accommodate the outcome of Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television)#Follow-up RfC on TV season article titles.

See the discussion for details, but the upshot is that we will be losing the parentheticals from season titles that do not distinguish between, e.g., shows by the same name in different countries.

The new display will need to look like, e.g., "Chicago Fire season 10" for an otherwise unambiguous title, and "Hawaii Five-0 (2010 TV series) season 7" for titles containing actual ambiguities. BD2412 T 22:35, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I've done some work on a sandbox version but I won't have time to continue as it's the weekend already. I'll continue with it next week. Gonnym (talk) 07:27, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Code updated at Template:Infobox television season/sandbox. Please check the sandbox with the new title styles to make sure I didn't miss anything. Gonnym (talk) 08:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

As far as I have seen, the new change for article titles is working in most places. One place it isn't is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 1 which is italicising "season 1". I don't think it is to do with how that article is using the infobox because The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 is set up the same way and is working fine. - adamstom97 (talk) 10:48, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

{{Infobox album}} was causing this error. Gonnym (talk) 11:39, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Good catch, thanks for that. - adamstom97 (talk) 12:44, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 24 March 2024

Remove "country" parameter per consensus at Template talk:Infobox television#Proposal to remove the "country" parameter. U-Mos (talk) 13:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

 Done can you update the documentation? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac can your bot clear |country= from Category:Pages using infobox television season with unknown parameters? Gonnym (talk) 10:27, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Sure. Primefac (talk) 12:11, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the plot description for all the Attack on Titan episodes have been removed. This occurred sometime during the latest edits at the end of March. Please can these be restored? DCD331 (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

This is related to a different change which is still in progress. - adamstom97 (talk) 17:47, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks DCD331 (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Where is DISPLAYTITLE getting generated?

Where in this template, or an upstream template, is the DISPLAYTITLE magic word getting added? With the new change to the styling of season article titles, there are going to be a lot of calls to DISPLAYTITLE on the articles themselves, outside of the template—which will mean a lot of error messages. —C.Fred (talk) 13:07, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at Template talk:Infobox television § Alternatives to writer and director parameters

 You are invited to join the discussion at Template talk:Infobox television § Alternatives to writer and director parameters. For a discussion on the possibility of adding a showrunner parameter to television-related infoboxes that would affect this infobox. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Template Protected Edit Request

A showrunner parameter needs added to this Infobox per this discussion. Here's the sandbox diff where it was added and the testcase page where it worked. The sandbox just needs synced to the live template. TheDoctorWho (talk) 18:30, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Documentation updated. TheDoctorWho (talk) 15:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Additional edit

Per this dsicussion, showrunner needs to be pluralized if there are multiple on the series.

Changing label2 = Showrunner to label2 = Showrunner{{Pluralize from text|{{{showrunner|}}}|plural=s}} will take care of it automatically (minus the nowiki tags if looking at this in source editor).

Here's the sandbox edit and the corresponding testcase edit where it worked. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
