Upside-Down Magic (film)

I'd appreciate you putting your eyes on this one, as we have IPs already trying to turn the article shitty with irrelevant WP:INUNIVERSE trivia... Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:24, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Still need more eyes here. Thanks. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

@IJBall: It's still on my watchlist. Sorry, I've just been busy with work, and when I'm not, I want to relax and play video games and such. And our college canceled in-person classes through the rest of the year because of the virus BS, so it's just been stressful dealing with all the restrictions and everything related to that in our state. I kind of wish I lived in South Dakota right now or that their governor were our governor. Amaury • 05:43, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

"Raven About Bunk'd"

Related discussion: "Raven About Bunk'd" from July 2020

Pinging the users who participated in that discussion: MPFitz1968, IJBall, YoungForever, and Starforce13. Also pinging Geraldo Perez.

I am not sure if this changes anything, but while nothing has changed for Raven's Home, I note that "Raven About Bunk'd" is now listed under season 4 on Zap2it for the Bunk'd episode. See here. There's also no "Part 2" label. It is simply "Raven About Bunk'd." So perhaps, at least for Bunk'd, we can list this as part of season 4 instead of it being a standalone special. Remember the mistake I made with listing "Thundermans: Secret Revealed" as a standalone special, when it wasn't. We eventually moved it to season 3 from our discussions.

I'm getting the vibe that this is similar, if not exactly like, those special episode of The Haunted Hathaways and The Thundermans as well as Lab Rats and Mighty Med. In particular, I'm referring to the episodes "The Haunted Thundermans" from the former and "Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med" from the latter. Both of these count as episodes for both series, with each series having a different production code for the episode. (Unlike something like "Danger Games," which is an episode of Henry Danger only and not an episode of both Henry Danger and Game Shakers.) "The Haunted Thundermans" is part of the second season of The Haunted Hathaways, with a production code of 211, while "The Haunted Hathaways" is also part of the second season of The Thundermans, with a production code of 212. Similarly, "Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med" is part of the fourth season of Lab Rats, with a production code of 415, while "Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med" is part of the second season of Mighty Med, with a production code of 220.

Right now, neither The Futon Critic nor Walt Disney Television Press list a proper production code, and "Raven About Bunk'd" doesn't even appear on the Raven's Home section of The Futon Critic. The Futon Critic's production codes for Disney Channel series have been screwed up for the longest time now, anyway, and they still haven't been fixed. And I doubt Copyright Office is going to have anything yet. It's too early. While obviously Wikias are not reliable sources, I note that the Wikias shows a production code of 430 for the Bunk'd portion and a production code of 409 for the Raven's Home portion, which would mean, depending on what listings like Zap2it end up doing, we would just list "Raven About Bunk'd" under season 4 for Raven's Home as well instead of a standalone special.

Based on that, my thoughts are that the Bunk'd episode can be moved under season 4, with the part 2 label removed, as per Zap2it as well as those special episodes of The Haunted Hathaways/The Thundermans and Lab Rats/Mighty Med, as it's looking like, from what I said above, that this special is exactly like those particular special episodes from those series. As for the Raven's Home episode, we can wait for Zap2it to update, but my guess is that it will be season 4. It's similar to when we didn't know what the first episode of Henry Danger season 5 was until Zap2it made it clear, from our discussion at Talk:List of Henry Danger episodes#End of the fourth season and beginning of the fifth season.

This is tricky since all the sources seem inconsistent and/or incomplete. When secondary sources are inconsistent, I prefer to go with the primary source. WDTV Press seems very consistent in classifying it as a special (and its even numbered "SPE") without any season attachment on both shows. Also, none of the official press releases seem to break it up to "Part 1" and "Part 2". That's something that seems to have originated from TFC. So, I would remove the part from the title. — Starforce¹³ 12:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

A good point raised. Although the trickiness is Disney Channel's fault, in my opinion, because, like Nickelodeon, except on some occasions, like with Andi Mack, they virtually never announce their season finales, so it's hard to tell where episodes belong sometimes. Until Zap2it updated, it's why we ended up with the fifth season dilemma of Henry Danger mentioned above. I will note it's the same thing with Just Roll with It's "You Decide LIVE!" where WDTV has it labeled SPE, but we have it listed with the first season episodes.

From my understanding over my years here, I don't think production codes or lack of should necessarily determine where an episode is placed. This makes me think of "Girl Meets Demolition" and "Girl Meets Fish" from Girl Meets World. The former has a production code of 207, clearly produced as part of the second season, but aired and is listed as a standalone special. (It also helps that this was actually clearly covered by secondary sources as an actual special—see List of Make It Pop episodes for another example.) The latter has a production code of 121, clearly produced as part of the first season, but aired and is listed as the 11th episode in the second season.

I also don't really consider SPE a "production code," personally. Something like what we used to see with Nickelodeon on The Futon Critic, such as 999, yeah. Or even what WDTV has for the third season premiere of Stuck in the Middle and second season premiere of Andi Mack. 299 and 399, respectively. Although once Copyright Office updated in the case of Andi Mack, we changed that accordingly to 113–201, but yeah. This case just seems to be extra tricky, and it's the network's fault.

I'll say go with the primary source. WDTV listed the specials as SPE which aren't part of the seasons. — YoungForever^(talk) 18:50, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

The version you reverted might have been factually correct, but it is grammatically unacceptable (when you have a list where items are modified, the items are separated with semicolons, not commas). Samer (talk) 23:12, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Commas are used for lists, not semi-colons. Semi-colons basically replace coordination conjunction words like "and" or "but" when joining two independent clauses together. In other words, if you're joining two independent clauses together without the use of a word like "and," use a semi-colon. Separating them with a period is technically correct, too.  I went to the store, and I bought milk.  I went to the store; I bought milk.  I went to the store. I bought milk. Amaury • 23:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

That is simply incorrect. See https://writing.wisc.edu/handbook/grammarpunct/semicolons/ among others: "Use a semicolon between items in a list or series if any of the items contain commas."

Henry Danger

Out of curiosity, what did you mean when you said the teen superhero TV show category was not defining for Henry Danger? Because the show focuses on a teenage superhero, who is also the titular character, so I think it could easily be defined as a teen superhero TV show.The Editor 155 (talk) 19:28, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
