There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Blade (New Line franchise character)#Requested move 27 September 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Trailblazer101 (talk) 15:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recently User:JCWoodberry1234 has been adding "Television episodes set in x" categories to episode articles. That's fine as long as the article itself mentions in the plot section that the episode takes place there. If the article does not mention it (WP:CATV), either the category should be removed, or the plot section updated. Gonnym (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should the infobox of a miniseries have its number of seasons be included in its infobox as 1? The original two MCU miniseries WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier have it, but the later ones have it as includeonly Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Secret Invasion, Echo, Agatha All Along. I edited last month the original two miniseries to match the majority but reverted by @Gonnym: so seeking thoughts here. Indagate (talk) 14:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. There is no way a casual reader will know how many seasons a show has (especially those that aren't disambiguated) without reading this information. Not all of our readers (read as "most") are hardcore fans and don't follow the news. The infobox is designed to give a very fast overview of the series. This is also why we do use the season number in the series overview. Gonnym (talk) 15:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have a strong opinion about this, though I will say in the name of keeping these articles consistent and the contents easily accessible for our readers, then displaying the singular season would be beneficial to casual readers. Bear in mind that the infoboxes do not currently identify if the series is long-form or if it is a miniseries. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think there are some possible articles that are seemingly completed or are close to being completed in draft space. Namely, Draft:Pepper Potts (Marvel Cinematic Universe) (needs consensus for split out), Draft:What If... the Avengers Assembled in 1602? (needs more in reception), Draft:Ultron (Marvel Cinematic Universe) (maybe a flesh out of alternate universe information), and Draft:Darcy Lewis (reception and alternate universe information needs to be fleshed out). We could probably also add more articles on top of those as well. (Oinkers42) (talk) 04:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The What If episode I think could be a beneficial inclusion once that (and other drafts for that series) get more expansion. As for the character drafts, I am not convinced that the MCU Pepper Potts is a notable or necessary inclusion for the mainspace. That one does not have much real-world discussion of this iteration of the character and the bulk of the article is pure in-universe details plus some characterization and early background details, which raises WP:FANCRUFT concerns for me. I do not think every iteration of an MCU character necessarily needs an article just because they meet the criteria we have established for this task force. For Ultron (another draft which has been repeatedly rejected, like Potts), that also needs a significant expansion with more real-world information and would likely not become as useful in the mainspace until well after Vision Quest releases. The Darcy Lewis draft still needs more expansion, which was determined earlier this year, before it is remotely ready for a move, as well. While I know these MCU articles are sought after, there is a standard to be set in what can vs. what should be brought over into the mainspace, and those three do not meet basic criteria from what I can tell.
