New boilerplate

I cloned {{Amg name}} to make {{Allmovie name}}, and created a documentation file cloned from {{TV Guide person}}, so I needed a new boilerplate, and I chose a single-name celebrity to make editing the name easier. :-)

{{Allmovie name}} was immediately deprecated. :-) — 22:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

* {{Imdb name |id=0004819 |name=Charo}}

Hmmm...

I have a bit of a problem with restricting it to just films with existing articles. When I create a new film section (e.g. Sig Ruman), I start with those, but also comb through IMDb and add films that have been seen by a significant no. of people and/or are highly rated. Then, when time allows, I create stubs. In the meantime, at least the reader is made aware of noteworthy entries and dates. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's every editor's individual choice, of course ... I happen to be a deletionist, so I tend to favor the restrictive view, and feel that the supplied links to IMDb, TCM, and other data bases are sufficient. :-) ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.110.142 (talk) _{10:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)}[reply]

Template:Allmusicguide

Testing {{TV Guide person}}

Well, after stumbling across {{TV Guide}}, I decided to try my hand, and hacked it into {{TV Guide person}} ...

Pauley Perrette (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

was the first one I tagged, and then I moved {{TV Guide}} to {{TV Guide show}}, and updated the documentation for both of them with examples. :-)

* {{TV Guide person |pauley-perrette/190740}}

TfD nomination of Template:Selected filmography

Template:Selected filmography has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 23:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I chose not to participate in the TfD … I archived a copy at User talk:The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome/Selected filmography#Examples … I probably will never use it again, but on articles where I would have used it, I'll just ping Garion96 to complete/organize/link the list under Filmography :-)

I guess that I assumed that lack of opposition implied consensus (as per WP:BOLD), but I also accept that consensus can change over time … it lived in Template space and I used it for a little over a year before anyone objected … the TfD occurred as I was transitioning from the High to Low phase of my cycle, so I just userfied it and went into hibernation mode … BTW, I updated the link for the TfD discussion to the archived copy as well … I'm glad to see that Some Other Editor agreed with me at the TfD. :-) … Happy Editing! — 138.88.91.205 (talk · contribs) _{12:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)}[reply]

Red links

See Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-01-31/Orphans. Removing red links is hurting wikipedia. Plus I would gain consensus regarding trimmin filmographies. Right now there isn't. Garion96 (talk) 11:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Allmovie

Discovered {{amg name}} and {{Amg movie}} ...
