Stand-up

Stand-up section is getting really long, and it is only going to get bigger, there is almost 30 stand up only on this year (2017) and we are not even half way. I think we should start categorizing them by year and make them drop down, once you click on the different years.

Should we try to get an editing block for IP users?

One or more IP users (IP could have switched while editing) just made close to 30 edits on the list. Not only is it very hard to follow what has been changed, because none of the edits have summaries, but some of the edits are also simply wrong on a technical level (like putting explanatory footnotes in the references). I have noticed that that sort of thing happens a lot more with IP users than with registered users. Since the list gets edited pretty much daily I would like to know what others think on getting a lock on the list. I will not make it a survey for now, just feeling the water. Thanks for your guys feedback.-Abyss Taucher (talk) 05:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to get other user's opinions on this. If you feel the page needs protection, make a report at WP:RPP. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:52, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know. I thought a lock needed consensus before making the report. I will think about making one.-Abyss Taucher (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mystery Science Theater 3000

MST3K is showing as MST3K "The Return" in the Netflix page, and they are saying is Season 1, not season 11. I think it should be moved from continuations and put on regular Comedy. Even though is says the return, I think Netflix is seeing it as a reboot more than a continuation. Andres balbuena (talk) 15:45, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. Sites like IMDB are listing it as its own entity, but within the actual episodes it's identified as "Season 11". I.E. Reptilicus' experiment number is 1101, not 0101. Minion Max (talk) 16:55, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It shows as S1:E1 on the Netflix page, which I think is what we should follow. What you are talking about is more like an Easter Egg, making sure they are remembering the past or where it comes from. Andres balbuena (talk) 16:31, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Netflix has it as season 1 of "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return" so that's how we should list it. -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:56, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ideas for Improvements

Here's some thoughts and ideas I've had about changes to the page. -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:56, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone have other ideas for changes for improving the article? Feel free to add your own ideas or comment on ones already there.

Uniform column widths

- Even though a lot of the tables feature the same columns, most of them are spaced and positioned very differently without any real reason or need for that to happen. For example, if you're looking at episode lengths, you start in the dramas. Then as you go down you shift way to the right for the MCU run times, then back to the left for the Comedy run times, then back to the right for the Animation run times, etc. I think it's mainly the "Status" column that causes this, but I think we could figure out good widths for the columns to accommodate everything. -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:56, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I really will like to implement this, and yes the problem is the status column, so I don't know how it could be solved. Maybe there is an option to make them fix all at the same length and it will just get span two lines vertically. Andres balbuena (talk) 15:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that as well. Could be hard to do, because of how packed the status column sometimes is, but if someone can figure it out I am all for it. Abyss Taucher (talk) 21:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"See Also" Section

- Could have links to the similar pages for Amazon and Hulu -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:56, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Film Section

- Instead of having Films be a section under "Original Programming", we could split the section into two: "Original Series" and "Original Films" -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:56, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you on this. Andres balbuena (talk) 15:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but the change should also apply to the "Future Original Programming" section as well. They need to be consistent. Somethingwickedly (talk) 14:04, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, also with what Somethingwickedly said. Abyss Taucher (talk) 21:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Documentaries Under Films

- I feel like "Documentaries" should be a subsection under Films since they are films (and we have a separate section for documentary TV series). -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:56, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, after all documentaries are perceived as a type of movie format by most, hence it has it's own category in the Oscars. Andres balbuena (talk) 15:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Somethingwickedly (talk) 14:04, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Abyss Taucher (talk) 21:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
