Acting age

I can't find any reliable sources. Please help! Bearian (talk) 04:12, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian: "Acting age" may be a made up neologism by someone trying to describe a particular casting practice. The concept might be better found under searching for "age range" for actors. I would suggest a move to Age range. See these sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9],

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Guidelines for Lists of stage works

Are there any guidelines for, or examples of particularly good lists (especially embedded lists), of stage works? MOS for body text seems clear, and MOS:LISTSOFWORKS is clear for published works, films, etc, but things are fuzzy in terms of theater credits and I see a lot of inconsistency across different pages, especially for interpretive work: directing, acting, design, etc. I've seen such lists deleted as being indiscriminate, poorly sourced lists, lists with the same production multiple times (i.e. Broadway transfers), among other problems.

Infobox Venue and theaters

The venue infobox widely used on pages for theaters is inadequate for capturing the details of artistic organizations, while infobox performing arts company is inadequate for discussing the physical plant of a company. I've started a discussion at Template talk:Infobox venue#Fields for buildings with synonymous organizations to come up with a solution BrechtBro (talk) 19:13, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
