Sections and tables[edit]

An IP editor (without explanation) has restored several section headings which I think are unnecessary per WP:OVERSECTION. It just clutters the table of contents. The user has also rearranged things in a way that seems illogical. For example, I don't think theme park rides and exhibitions count as "other media", yet they're all currently lumped together in that section. I previously had them under a section called "Attractions", which seemed okay to me.

The IP also moved the canceled TV projects out of the "Television" section and has put them under a new section at the bottom of the article. However, if I were looking for info on a television series (canceled or not), I would look to the television section. Why separate it? Seems like it's just making it harder for readers to find what they're looking for.

The IP has also introduced tables such as this one, which is completely unnecessary. I also don't see the need for this one. MOS:TVOVERVIEW suggests that a series overview only be used for shows with at least two seasons. The previous overview, seen here solely for Camp Cretaceous, is the only one we really need, due to the amount of information. This is what the Lego section previously looked like. It could be modified a bit to include a few more details, but I don't see the need for a table there.

This seems to be the same unresponsive editor described here, so I don't know if they will respond here (I left them a note). In the meantime, I'm curious if others have an opinion on this.  AJFU  (talk) 18:07, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I just make better style with tables and sections :) --46.40.89.215 (talk) 08:23, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree. You haven't specifically addressed any of my concerns.
Furthermore, I see that you have added an empty section for Lego Jurassic World: Double Trouble, which is just an episode of Lego Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar that was apparently marketed as a "special". Despite that label, it doesn't appear to be notable. I don't see why it should be mentioned here. It's not a separate animated series, nor is it ongoing, but you have it listed as "(2020–present)". This was a one-time thing that aired last year. Also, empty sections are not helpful to readers, and having non-links in the infobox doesn't seem helpful either. Lego Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit is also a television special, not a series.  AJFU  (talk) 19:59, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok i will fix this! --46.40.89.215 (talk) 09:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but that's not quite what I had in mind. Rather than trying to fix the "Double Trouble" section, it should just be removed entirely. It's just a non-notable episode. And rather than filling out the newly added tables (with often-repetitive details), they should just be removed completely. A small, well written section does not also require a table to repeat basic information like release dates and the number of episodes. Furthermore, I don't understand this, where you feel that it's necessary to have both a "Music" and a "Soundtrack" heading. If they're all soundtracks, why not just call them that and cut out the "Music" heading?
Instead of trying to fix all these problems, it would be simpler to just restore this revision and then work to improve it from there. Like I said, your edits have highlighted the need for a few more details in this section. Things like air dates, networks, and the number of episodes, which should all be written out in prose. We don't also need a table to repeat such details when the section can convey them on its own.  AJFU  (talk) 18:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I added this revision with minor changes... Do you like it like this? I think this style is really good! My style was not good. --46.40.89.215 (talk) 14:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think this is much better for the readers. Thanks. The only main issue I have is the separate headings for "Music" and "Soundtracks". There's no need for both. We should pick one.  AJFU  (talk) 15:09, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi yes i remove this is only (Music) thanks for new section board games --46.40.89.215 (talk) 10:39, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtracks was add again... Maybe you remove? --46.40.89.215 (talk) 11:17, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the other editor only reverted you because of certain edits to the infobox, and the "Soundtrack" heading apparently got re-added by mistake. I removed it.  AJFU  (talk) 15:05, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! Thanks... Now is good page! --46.40.89.215 (talk) 12:04, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lego stuff[edit]

To be honest, I feel like the Lego Jurassic universe should get it's own section. Like it's a bit strange to see it within canon media. Like it doesn't belong in there. 2001:4DD1:5BAF:0:8838:7C5C:C9B7:5B93 (talk) 03:37, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean that we should move the Lego stuff out of the television section because it's apparently not canon? Sections should be arranged in a way that aids the reader. TV projects should go in the TV section regardless of canonicity. I'm not sure that there even is any explicit confirmation about exactly what is and is not canon.
Also, please see this section. A different Twitter page shows "motion comic" in lowercase.  AJFU  (talk) 19:59, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lego stuff actually is officially non-Canon. And I kind of agree with the user above. Not because it isn't canon to the films but because I don't really think people would like to see Lego series in their faces as the first result in Television. Like it's something most people skip. I mean like have it in the television section but under CC like ===Lego Jurassic World===
  • Lego Jurassic World The Secret Exhibition

etc. I may be totally wrong on this idea Derjenigederzukunftseht (talk) 01:22, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Exhibit* my autocorrect is shit sometimes Derjenigederzukunftseht (talk) 01:23, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really think people would like to see Lego series in their faces as the first result in Television. I can't imagine that most people would mind, and for those who do, it's not like they have to search high and low for Camp Cretaceous. Most of the article is arranged in chronological order, and the Lego projects came first. Ideally, the Lego stuff should be in a single, brief section, which could also be easily skipped over if readers have no interest in it. Camp Cretaceous is the very next thing they see. It's consistent with the order already used in the cast section.  AJFU  (talk) 18:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Las Cinco Muertes (The Five Deaths)[edit]

Shouldn't we add The Five Deaths to the article? I mean, they are pretty important, and were heavily featured in Jurassic World Evolution. They also had a few mentions in the Lost World, and were shown in a map in the movie. Cryolophosaurus Ellioti5858 (talk) 12:54, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's already mentioned in the Isla Sorna section, and I added details about the game appearance (seen here).  AJFU  (talk) 16:15, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chaos Theory[edit]

Didn’t anyone see the teaser? Shouldn’t it now be referenced here or is there requirement of confirmation from a studio or an accurate source? 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 18:34, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Future can maybe be added to[edit]

This link here says there possibly may be a new Jurassic World film should it be taken into account. 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 20:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jurassic Park Added Stuff[edit]

I was thinking we could add 2 More Sections including "Chronological Order" and "Interactives". We could also add a part where all the movies, shows, films, and interactives are all in one big list of Release Order. I also heard a new shows coming up thats a sequel to Camp Cretaceous called "Jurassic World: Chaos Theory" Bananawiki123456! (talk) 00:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
