HUMANS

Regarding capitalization, HUMANS metadata specifies all caps. It's on the official page from AMC here. I am working with the metadata for the show and this is the branding for the show. BrillLyle (talk) 17:24, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@BrillLyle: Again, that is simply stylization, even another editor has reverted you so. Official names of series' are not capitalized. Alex|The|Whovian 23:44, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Defiance

What's wrong with the episode count for each character? is it too early?72.64.207.76 (talk) 04:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not too early, but it's not required and is unsupported by the Method of Style guidelines for television series, and doesn't add further information towards understanding the article in question. Alex|The|Whovian 04:04, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So do I need to wait until after all the episodes air?72.64.207.76 (talk) 19:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No. It's just not required, whether the episodes have aired or not. Alex|The|Whovian 19:48, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who Series 9 Test Edit

I don't know if this would be too much for the episode table but going from what you was doing in your test edit, I was looking at this;

@13thDoctor93: That's rather good! I had something similar in my sandbox (User:AlexTheWhovian/sandbox#Episodes), and suggested such an edit on Template:Episode list, but to no reply. I simply find the whole thing of numbering episode with letters (e.g. 254a, 260b) cluttering. Alex|The|Whovian 09:54, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aired episodes template

Once again, kudos for making a template that can be used for basically copy-pasted text across the TV project. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Favre1fan93: Thanks! I'm wondering if it's possible to create a template for episode table header-rows; we'll see. Alex|The|Whovian 17:59, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So saw you created the ep table header template. Think it will work, but feel you should find a way to include the '|-' after the template in the template, and then maybe a parameter such as 'episodes=' to then list all the Episode list template, so we can get rid of the '|}' that some users may not realize the would need. So it could be something like: {{Episode header|color=white|background=#B40000|series=5|season=5|title=17|director=11|writer=37|airdate=10|prodcode=6|viewers=9 |country=U.S.|episodes={{Episode list}} }} - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:37, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Favre1fan93: Thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking of implementing the '|-', but the episodes= parameter never even came to me, brilliant idea. I've implemented both now, and will look into updating the episode tables of a few television series to test it out properly. Alex|The|Whovian 04:15, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. That way everything is housed together, and any unknowing IP or other confirmed users will be able to use this template easily. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:25, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wayward Pines

Please do not write again that episode six aired on June 18 in Australia, it's not true according the Australian schedule: http://www.fxtv.com.au/listings/18-06-2015. The official Australian website dedicated to the series also confirms that episode six aired on June 25, like the rest of the world, and not earlier. --Supernino (talk) 11:07, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Supernino: Fair enough, but then answer this: How did the sixth episode result in being online on June 18 as a result of having aired? Alex|The|Whovian 11:08, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You should ask that to who distribuited that episode :) I took the liberty to reply here so others don't make the same mistake. Bye, --Supernino (talk) 11:20, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Supergirl was a leak, Wayward Pines was due to it airing. This example does not apply; please choose another. Alex|The|Whovian 11:24, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please continue in Talk:Wayward Pines. --Supernino (talk) 11:33, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question re: WP:TVINTL

Hi AlexTheWhovian, Apologies for the interruption. I noticed that you reverted an edit at Outlander (TV series), correctly citing WP:TVINTL; having read that MOS section, I thank you for the reversion. I did however, have a question, which I hope you might help me with. The section indicates that we are encouraged to only detail noteworthy foreign broadcasts - which seems like a very good idea.

So that I might be able to better apply this in future, could you help me to understand how the Australia, Canada, and Ireland broadcasts are more noteworthy? The delay of the UK broadcast, potentially over concerns w.r.t the Scottish Independence elections seems to make that broadcast easily noteworthy.

Please note that I am not seeking re-inclusion of the information, just a better understanding of our style guide. Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 13:32, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryk72: Hi Ryk72, all good! The standard is that here on the English Wikipedia, we only list countries where English is the main language - other countries that do not fit this criteria should be listed on their respective Wikipedia server. Alex|The|Whovian 21:40, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
