RFC on aligning role fields with mos filmcast guidelines

Hi,

According to MOS:FILMCAST, common nouns within roles should not be capitalised to distinguish between character names and job descriptions. Currently, the use of sentence case introduces ambiguity for readers; for instance, it does not clarify whether 'Joker' refers to a character name or if 'Joker' describes his job when no character name is provided. I encourage you to refer to my related discussion with the user's talk. Therefore, I recommend adopting lowercase for common nouns in the Role field to ensure alignment with MOS:FILMCAST.

@Anoopspeaks: Could you give an example of an article where this introduces ambiguity? jlwoodwa (talk) 15:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anoopspeaks: I'm sorry, I don't see which of those roles is ambiguous. Could you be more specific? jlwoodwa (talk) 16:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jlwoodwa In the filmography, his two character names, Monster T and The Gunsmith, are actual names in the movie, while The Dagger refers only to a dagger, not a character name. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 17:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Geoffrey Chalmers → Michael McConnohie

Geoffrey Chalmers currently redirects to Michael McConnohie, but it has been nominated for deletion at RfD. The discussion would significantly benefit from those familiar with sourcing in this topic area, particularly sourcing of credits. Thryduulf (talk) 10:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
