Should we mention anywhere, maybe in the post section about Whedon's mentality coming out of making this film? I was just reading the Buzzfeed article (in which that quote in the development section was added) and I know other press junket pieces have had Whedon talk about how much this film really drained him and pushed him to his limits (ie him moving into the studio to finish editing the film). Can we use any of this material? - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 06:10, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I watched the film, so do we have the all-clear to add the plot, since it's already playing in many theaters around the world?

There seems to be conflicting reports on who actually creates Vision. In interviews and such, Joss Whedon has stated time and time again that Vision (in the film) is created by Ultron. In July 2014, the EW article emerged detailing that Vision is on "Team Ultron". Then we have the short biography for Vision via that leaked promo art work, stating that Vision is programmed by the combined genius' of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. So is it safe to assume that Vision is only created by Ultron, then re-programmed by Banner and Stark to aid the Avengers? Just want to clear this confusion up.

Please change "Avengers: Age of Ultron is an upcoming American superhero film" to "Avengers: Age of Ultron is the latest American superhero film" because it was released on April-22-2015. Editing is necessary. Shiva Ashok ( talk) 02:55, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
After seeing the film for a second time, I've made some minor adjustments. First, Klaue's locale is definitely South Africa — while the onscreen text says only "Salvage Yard, African Coast," the cast credits refer to "Johannesburg Cops," "Johannesburg Onlookers," etc. Also, there's no Gemma from Agents of SHIELD. Linda Cardellini is credited onscreen though, curiously, not in the PDF cast credits distributed to press. Josh Brolin is uncredited in both cases.
Sokovia is given as the name of the country and the city both. No mention is made of Stark and Barton retiring from the team; I'm not even sure how one can infer that, since Stark drives off in a car the same as he (and Banner) drove off in the first movie. Additionally, we never definitively see the Vision killing Ultron: All we see is a flash in the background of some woods and no mention is made of the Vision killing Ultron. Finally, Fury at the end tells Romanoff that SHIELD believes it has tracked the remains of the Quinjet, but isn't sure it's the Quinjet since the Quinjet was on stealth mode.
I also found a cool Easter egg: The name of the band in Rogers' hallucination is The Roy Thomas __________ (Quartet? Players? It went by quicky and I didn't get enough of a look). -- Tenebrae ( talk) 03:29, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
When the credits said "Johannesburg", are we sure that wasn't just because they filmed it there, which we know they did? Because a quick look on Google maps shows that Johannesburg is no where near the coast. I think that just saying African salvage yard will be most appropriate, unless we find a reliable source confirming the location. - adamstom97 ( talk) 08:23, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi all. Working here and there on the page now. Just for what's here (not sure what the page looks like atm), Klaue got the vibranium out of Wakanda, so where they meet is not Wakanda. Also, I wouldn't read the ending as Barton and Stark retiring, more that they are just not looking to be with the team. If you read those two things as retiring, fine, but I don't think "retiring" as the word should be used. Hope that helps at all with my two cents. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 16:30, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
The plot section ends with the statement, "In a mid-credits scene, Thanos retrieves the Infinity Gauntlet and, dissatisfied with the failures of his pawns, vows to hunt for the Infinity Stones personally." I've just seen the film, and that sentence gives a misleading impression of what happens. Thanos doesn't say anything like, "I vow to hunt for the Infinity Stones personally." What he says is something closer to, "Now I'll do it myself"; I don't recall the exact words. I think the final sentence needs rewriting, since in its current form it's too much like editorial interpretation of the film. And on another issue, I'm afraid I'm baffled by this by Tenebrae. If "We NEVER see him destroy it", why exactly does the plot section say "the Vision confronts and appears to destroy Ultron's last remaining body"? How can the Vision "appear to destroy" Ultron's body if that is not what is shown? FreeKnowledgeCreator ( talk) 04:06, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I know that, from the point of view of fans and "wild mass guessing" theories, the fate of Ultron may seem unclear. But for wikipedia standards, it is not. To move the image focus out of a character that is about to die is a common thing in cinema. As for "absorving" Ultron inside himself, the mind gem has never been stated in screen to have that kind of power. And neither in comics, as far as I know (don't confuse it with the soul gem of Adam Warlock, that's the one with that power). The idea that Ultron may still be alive is just original research, and should not be taken into account. Cambalachero ( talk) 16:55, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Pretty sure it's not a "Johannesburg shipyard" as Jo'burg is hundreds of miles inland. Should it be changed to "Wakandan shipyard?" All we really know is it is in Africa. Mikeymo1741 ( talk) 03:27, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

The base at the end of the film is captioned, New Avengers, with a capital "N". Coincidentally, the music in the scene is titled "New Avengers" on the soundtrack. So should the team that Cap assembles in the team be labeled New Avengers? This source from Entertainment Weekly does just that.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 13:30, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
...to whichever editor came up with the description "capital city" — it is much, much better than my "same-name city." My compliments! -- Tenebrae ( talk) 17:59, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Neither the movie nor the filmmakers ever use that term. Just because some website calls it that doesn't make it official or cinematic canon. To call the enhanced Iron Man armor the "Hulkbuster" suit in a Plot-section footnote when no source connected to the movie calls it that is misleading and wrong. A comic-book website cannot unilaterally decide what the filmmakers "should have called something."
Compare it to the Plot-section footnote at The Avengers (2012 film), which says:
In an interview with Movieline, producer Kevin Feige stated that the Tesseract is based on the Cosmic Cube from Marvel comics.[260] After Thor: The Dark World, in an interview with CraveOnline, he stated that it was also the Space Infinity Stone.[261]
That's Feige saying something — not a writer for Comic Book Resources or Newsarama or whatever. Talk about it as being called Hulkbuster in the comics, with citing, elsewhere if necessary — but putting it a Plot-section footnote is giving some comics-site writer the power to change the filmmakers' language and terminology. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 04:59, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
So, back to the hulkbuster thing. If "Veronica" is the delivery system, not the armor, how about changing it to say that "Iron Man stops him with additional armor from his V.E.R.O.N.I.C.A. satellite". Also, the Iron Man's Armor in other media spells it in caps with periods, but it's not spelled like that here. Acbsmith ( talk) 22:18, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi all. The traditional Fxguide article looking at the post production done on MCU films is available. As always, it's very insightful. I've only just begun to read it, but figured if a few of us worked on it together, we can get all the relative info into the article. I'm going to get the ref in there so it will be really easy to add new content from the article.

I see you posted the Method Studios Avengers VFX images on your site. Method Studios has been contacted by Marvel and asked to remove it from all online sources as it breaches copyright laws. Thank you very much for your help. RenderBlender ( talk) 19:09, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Yes. Melissa.Knight@methodstudios.com can be reached for any confirmation. She is representing the copyright holder and has been asked by Marvel to have all of these images removed. Any help to have this image removed is appreciated. RenderBlender ( talk) 21:00, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Marvel owns the copyright and is asking that the images be removed from everywhere. They have been removed from the Method Studios site, where they started from in the first place. I don't understand how this is fair use. Marvel owns these images and wants them completely removed. Please let me know what information I need to provide as proof. I have been asked to help get this image taken down. RenderBlender ( talk) 21:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Neither of these names is used in the actual film, as far as i noticed, just Wanda Maximoff and Pietro Maximoff. Should the article mention that, and/or omit any uses of the names Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (other than things like quotes from people discussing the characters/roles)? -- 70.17.203.31 ( talk) 23:56, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
Despite not being mention as "Scarlet Witch" or "Quicksilver", they are referred to in promotional media and in the credits as that. Mcs2050wiki ( talk) 14:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
In any case, the plot section does not use those names either Cambalachero ( talk) 18:25, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Is the condenses wrong for anyone else? On the site it reads, "Critic Consensus: Exuberant and eye-popping, Avengers: Age of Ultron serves as an overstuffed but mostly satisfying sequel, reuniting its predecessor's unwieldy cast with a few new additions and a worthy foe.", but it's different here. I hate that "all-in-one" code...

Hi all, just a friendly reminder that we have until July 13, to get this article up to GA status as per the requirements of Good Topics. Honestly, with a little work to the formatting of the Box office section, some c/e, I think we may be good to get this at least nominated shortly (as it takes forever to get these reviews done these days). - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 16:53, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Because the deadline is fast approaching, I tidied up the article some and nominated it for good article status. I understand that it is supposed to be by a significant contributor, but no one else has done it so far. I will keep up with the nomination and handle any recommendations, though. Alexwho314 ( talk) 04:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm just noting here that I've specified what gauntlet it was that Thanos put on his hand, specifically, that it was an Infinity Gauntlet, as confirmed by the movie's producer in this reliable source. A note there said that we couldn't name it because it wasn't called an Infinity Gauntlet in the film. That is ridiculous. Just because it isn't named in the film doesn't mean we can't refer to it as such. Spaghetti07205 ( talk) 17:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
Why was this article even nominated? Or was it even nominated? We know the article is incomplete because its still running in theatres. If this has something to do with the Good Topic criteria then I would be disappointed. Reviewers should understand that we cannot complete an article during its theatrical run. Wikipedia has never been about deadlines and articles shouldn't have to suffer because of it.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 20:00, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
This entire situation is incredibly off to me. I'm in the same camp as you guys, finding that whole "three-month" thing a bit ridiculous when we seem to get auto-failed due to instability and lack of complete box office info. (the box office information changing should have no bearing on the article passing, but that's neither here nor there). I noticed that, on both instances that the articles was nominated less than three months after release, @ SNUGGUMS: was the one to fail it. I'm not trying to call him out or insinuate that he doesn't know what he's doing, but I would like to hear from him on what he thinks should be done here. I disagree with some of his reasoning for failing the article (the aforementioned "box office" fact, in particular), but he proves the very valid point that most film articles just aren't ready to be GA material, no matter how well-kept they are, in less than three months.
Again, Snuggums, I'm not trying to come off accusatory or say that this is "your fault", but your failing of GA nominations brings up a valid counterargument to the "three-month" rule. I was wondering what your thoughts were on this whole thing.

It is confusing for readers to see no mention of the names Captain America, Iron Man, etc in the plot synopsis, The plot section should make it clear that Rogers, Stark, etc are these same characters. It should be worded for people who have never seen a MCU film. The names Rogers, Romanoff, Stark, Barton, etc are perfectly acceptable for refering to the characters throughout the bulk of the synopsis (since that is generally what they call each other in the script), however the codenames should be mentioned in brackets after the first use of their real names, given that this is how the characters are widely known (it is the codenames, not the given names, which are used on most of the film titles, advertisements, merchandise, etc). Not to mention that these heroes have existed in comic book & animation for around 50 years under their codenames. Rocket1377 ( talk) 14:25, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

In the article, it mentions 274 reviews, but in Rotten Tomatoes it is currently 284 reviews. However, since the article uses the RT template, I don't know how to change it. Anyone want to give a helping hand?-- Jionpedia ✉ 09:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi everyone. The page that displays the text about Rotten Tomatoes' score is Template:Rotten Tomatoes score/2395427. Normally, Theo's Little Bot should create and update that, but you can see from the page's history that it was created by TriiipleThreat, who has also been the primary person keeping it updated. You can continue updating in this manner if you want, or replace it with regular text and citation templates. I don't recommend substituting it because that will copy a bunch of the template's "programming logic" into the article. As discussed at Template talk:Rotten Tomatoes score, the bot has not made a positive contribution to a template subpage since April 17, 2014, and any attempts at new uses will just create error messages. The basic problem is that when the bot was developed in 2013, Rotten Tomatoes supported retrieving data from their site by specifying the IMDb ID. Unfortunately, at some point they stopped supporting that, so now the application is broken, and fixing it requires updating the bot's code to support retrieval of the data by some other means. Theopolisme, the bot's operator hasn't edited since August 6.
If you want to see this process resurrected, perhaps you could post a request at WP:Bot requests. I'm afraid I already have too much other stuff on my to-do list to make time for this. My involvement was simply analyzing the problem, cleaning out all the pages with error messages, and deprecating the template. Sorry, but without someone else to pick up the ball, or the operator returning to address the problem, the template will have to stay deprecated for now. – Wbm1058 ( talk) 17:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Could someone explain to me how this isn't in-universe language and how it would make the slightest bit of sense to someone who hasn't already seen the movie? I know my wording increased the word-count slightly, but ... how about we remove the word "Barton's" and just say "hiding at a safehouse"? That would fix the problem.
Furthermore, TriiipleThreat's edit summary didn't make sense: in-context, "off-the-books" and "secretive" clearly aren't the same thing, so my describing the safehouse as "off-the-books" was entirely appropriate -- they hid out there because, unlike the other "secretive" S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouses, Ultron et al. didn't already know where the off-the-books one that only Barton and Fury knew about was.

Should we mention anywhere, maybe in the post section about Whedon's mentality coming out of making this film? I was just reading the Buzzfeed article (in which that quote in the development section was added) and I know other press junket pieces have had Whedon talk about how much this film really drained him and pushed him to his limits (ie him moving into the studio to finish editing the film). Can we use any of this material? - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 06:10, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

According to a critic who got an early screening of the film, Loki was not seen in the film, which also included a mid-credits scene. here's the source. Npamusic ( talk) 05:40, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
I watched the film, so do we have the all-clear to add the plot, since it's already playing in many theaters around the world? Also (spoilers), Tom Hiddleston/Loki is not in the movie, Stan Lee is a retired veteran who attends the Avengers' party, Julie Delpy is Madame B (from Black Widow's flahsback) and Linda Cardellini is Laura Barton, Hawkeye's wife.

There seems to be conflicting reports on who actually creates Vision. In interviews and such, Joss Whedon has stated time and time again that Vision (in the film) is created by Ultron. In July 2014, the EW article emerged detailing that Vision is on "Team Ultron". Then we have the short biography for Vision via that leaked promo art work, stating that Vision is programmed by the combined genius' of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. So is it safe to assume that Vision is only created by Ultron, then re-programmed by Banner and Stark to aid the Avengers? Just want to clear this confusion up.

Please change "Avengers: Age of Ultron is an upcoming American superhero film" to "Avengers: Age of Ultron is the latest American superhero film" because it was released on April-22-2015. Editing is necessary. Shiva Ashok ( talk) 02:55, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
After seeing the film for a second time, I've made some minor adjustments. First, Klaue's locale is definitely South Africa — while the onscreen text says only "Salvage Yard, African Coast," the cast credits refer to "Johannesburg Cops," "Johannesburg Onlookers," etc. Also, there's no Gemma from Agents of SHIELD. Linda Cardellini is credited onscreen though, curiously, not in the PDF cast credits distributed to press. Josh Brolin is uncredited in both cases.
Sokovia is given as the name of the country and the city both. No mention is made of Stark and Barton retiring from the team; I'm not even sure how one can infer that, since Stark drives off in a car the same as he (and Banner) drove off in the first movie. Additionally, we never definitively see the Vision killing Ultron: All we see is a flash in the background of some woods and no mention is made of the Vision killing Ultron. Finally, Fury at the end tells Romanoff that SHIELD believes it has tracked the remains of the Quinjet, but isn't sure it's the Quinjet since the Quinjet was on stealth mode.
I also found a cool Easter egg: The name of the band in Rogers' hallucination is The Roy Thomas __________ (Quartet? Players? It went by quicky and I didn't get enough of a look). -- Tenebrae ( talk) 03:29, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
When the credits said "Johannesburg", are we sure that wasn't just because they filmed it there, which we know they did? Because a quick look on Google maps shows that Johannesburg is no where near the coast. I think that just saying African salvage yard will be most appropriate, unless we find a reliable source confirming the location. - adamstom97 ( talk) 08:23, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi all. Working here and there on the page now. Just for what's here (not sure what the page looks like atm), Klaue got the vibranium out of Wakanda, so where they meet is not Wakanda. Also, I wouldn't read the ending as Barton and Stark retiring, more that they are just not looking to be with the team. If you read those two things as retiring, fine, but I don't think "retiring" as the word should be used. Hope that helps at all with my two cents. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 16:30, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
The plot section ends with the statement, "In a mid-credits scene, Thanos retrieves the Infinity Gauntlet and, dissatisfied with the failures of his pawns, vows to hunt for the Infinity Stones personally." I've just seen the film, and that sentence gives a misleading impression of what happens. Thanos doesn't say anything like, "I vow to hunt for the Infinity Stones personally." What he says is something closer to, "Now I'll do it myself"; I don't recall the exact words. I think the final sentence needs rewriting, since in its current form it's too much like editorial interpretation of the film. And on another issue, I'm afraid I'm baffled by this by Tenebrae. If "We NEVER see him destroy it", why exactly does the plot section say "the Vision confronts and appears to destroy Ultron's last remaining body"? How can the Vision "appear to destroy" Ultron's body if that is not what is shown? FreeKnowledgeCreator ( talk) 04:06, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
I know that, from the point of view of fans and "wild mass guessing" theories, the fate of Ultron may seem unclear. But for wikipedia standards, it is not. To move the image focus out of a character that is about to die is a common thing in cinema. As for "absorving" Ultron inside himself, the mind gem has never been stated in screen to have that kind of power. And neither in comics, as far as I know (don't confuse it with the soul gem of Adam Warlock, that's the one with that power). The idea that Ultron may still be alive is just original research, and should not be taken into account. Cambalachero ( talk) 16:55, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Pretty sure it's not a "Johannesburg shipyard" as Jo'burg is hundreds of miles inland. Should it be changed to "Wakandan shipyard?" All we really know is it is in Africa. Mikeymo1741 ( talk) 03:27, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

The base at the end of the film is captioned, New Avengers, with a capital "N". Coincidentally, the music in the scene is titled "New Avengers" on the soundtrack. So should the team that Cap assembles in the team be labeled New Avengers? This source from Entertainment Weekly does just that.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 13:30, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Neither the movie nor the filmmakers ever use that term. Just because some website calls it that doesn't make it official or cinematic canon. To call the enhanced Iron Man armor the "Hulkbuster" suit in a Plot-section footnote when no source connected to the movie calls it that is misleading and wrong. A comic-book website cannot unilaterally decide what the filmmakers "should have called something."
Compare it to the Plot-section footnote at The Avengers (2012 film), which says:
In an interview with Movieline, producer Kevin Feige stated that the Tesseract is based on the Cosmic Cube from Marvel comics.[260] After Thor: The Dark World, in an interview with CraveOnline, he stated that it was also the Space Infinity Stone.[261]
That's Feige saying something — not a writer for Comic Book Resources or Newsarama or whatever. Talk about it as being called Hulkbuster in the comics, with citing, elsewhere if necessary — but putting it a Plot-section footnote is giving some comics-site writer the power to change the filmmakers' language and terminology. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 04:59, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
So, back to the hulkbuster thing. If "Veronica" is the delivery system, not the armor, how about changing it to say that "Iron Man stops him with additional armor from his V.E.R.O.N.I.C.A. satellite". Also, the Iron Man's Armor in other media spells it in caps with periods, but it's not spelled like that here. Acbsmith ( talk) 22:18, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi all. The traditional Fxguide article looking at the post production done on MCU films is available. As always, it's very insightful.

Neither of these names is used in the actual film, as far as i noticed, just Wanda Maximoff and Pietro Maximoff. Should the article mention that, and/or omit any uses of the names Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (other than things like quotes from people discussing the characters/roles)? -- 70.17.203.31 ( talk) 23:56, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
Despite not being mention as "Scarlet Witch" or "Quicksilver", they are referred to in promotional media and in the credits as that. Mcs2050wiki ( talk) 14:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Is the condenses wrong for anyone else? On the site it reads, "Critic Consensus: Exuberant and eye-popping, Avengers: Age of Ultron serves as an overstuffed but mostly satisfying sequel, reuniting its predecessor's unwieldy cast with a few new additions and a worthy foe.", but it's different here. I hate that "all-in-one" code...

Hi all, just a friendly reminder that we have until July 13, to get this article up to GA status as per the requirements of Good Topics. Honestly, with a little work to the formatting of the Box office section, some c/e, I think we may be good to get this at least nominated shortly (as it takes forever to get these reviews done these days). - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 16:53, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Because the deadline is fast approaching, I tidied up the article some and nominated it for good article status. I understand that it is supposed to be by a significant contributor, but no one else has done it so far. I will keep up with the nomination and handle any recommendations, though. Alexwho314 ( talk) 04:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm just noting here that I've specified what gauntlet it was that Thanos put on his hand, specifically, that it was an Infinity Gauntlet, as confirmed by the movie's producer in this reliable source. A note there said that we couldn't name it because it wasn't called an Infinity Gauntlet in the film. That is ridiculous. Just because it isn't named in the film doesn't mean we can't refer to it as such. Spaghetti07205 ( talk) 17:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
Why was this article even nominated? Or was it even nominated? We know the article is incomplete because its still running in theatres. If this has something to do with the Good Topic criteria then I would be disappointed. Reviewers should understand that we cannot complete an article during its theatrical run. Wikipedia has never been about deadlines and articles shouldn't have to suffer because of it.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 20:00, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
This entire situation is incredibly off to me. I'm in the same camp as you guys, finding that whole "three-month" thing a bit ridiculous when we seem to get auto-failed due to instability and lack of complete box office info. (the box office information changing should have no bearing on the article passing, but that's neither here nor there). I noticed that, on both instances that the articles was nominated less than three months after release, @ SNUGGUMS: was the one to fail it. I'm not trying to call him out or insinuate that he doesn't know what he's doing, but I would like to hear from him on what he thinks should be done here. I disagree with some of his reasoning for failing the article (the aforementioned "box office" fact, in particular), but he proves the very valid point that most film articles just aren't ready to be GA material, no matter how well-kept they are, in less than three months.
Again, Snuggums, I'm not trying to come off accusatory or say that this is "your fault", but your failing of GA nominations brings up a valid counterargument to the "three-month" rule. I was wondering what your thoughts were on this whole thing.

It is confusing for readers to see no mention of the names Captain America, Iron Man, etc in the plot synopsis, The plot section should make it clear that Rogers, Stark, etc are these same characters. It should be worded for people who have never seen a MCU film. The names Rogers, Romanoff, Stark, Barton, etc are perfectly acceptable for refering to the characters throughout the bulk of the synopsis (since that is generally what they call each other in the script), however the codenames should be mentioned in brackets after the first use of their real names, given that this is how the characters are widely known (it is the codenames, not the given names, which are used on most of the film titles, advertisements, merchandise, etc). Not to mention that these heroes have existed in comic book & animation for around 50 years under their codenames. Rocket1377 ( talk) 14:25, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

In the article, it mentions 274 reviews, but in Rotten Tomatoes it is currently 284 reviews. However, since the article uses the RT template, I don't know how to change it. Anyone want to give a helping hand?-- Jionpedia ✉ 09:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi everyone. The page that displays the text about Rotten Tomatoes' score is Template:Rotten Tomatoes score/2395427. Normally, Theo's Little Bot should create and update that, but you can see from the page's history that it was created by TriiipleThreat, who has also been the primary person keeping it updated. You can continue updating in this manner if you want, or replace it with regular text and citation templates. I don't recommend substituting it because that will copy a bunch of the template's "programming logic" into the article. As discussed at Template talk:Rotten Tomatoes score, the bot has not made a positive contribution to a template subpage since April 17, 2014, and any attempts at new uses will just create error messages. The basic problem is that when the bot was developed in 2013, Rotten Tomatoes supported retrieving data from their site by specifying the IMDb ID. Unfortunately, at some point they stopped supporting that, so now the application is broken, and fixing it requires updating the bot's code to support retrieval of the data by some other means. Theopolisme, the bot's operator hasn't edited since August 6.
If you want to see this process resurrected, perhaps you could post a request at WP:Bot requests. I'm afraid I already have too much other stuff on my to-do list to make time for this. My involvement was simply analyzing the problem, cleaning out all the pages with error messages, and deprecating the template. Sorry, but without someone else to pick up the ball, or the operator returning to address the problem, the template will have to stay deprecated for now. – Wbm1058 ( talk) 17:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Could someone explain to me how this isn't in-universe language and how it would make the slightest bit of sense to someone who hasn't already seen the movie? I know my wording increased the word-count slightly, but ... how about we remove the word "Barton's" and just say "hiding at a safehouse"? That would fix the problem.
Furthermore, TriiipleThreat's edit summary didn't make sense: in-context, "off-the-books" and "secretive" clearly aren't the same thing, so my describing the safehouse as "off-the-books" was entirely appropriate -- they hid out there because, unlike the other "secretive" S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouses, Ultron et al. didn't already know where the off-the-books one that only Barton and Fury knew about was.
