Didn't realise there was already conversations about the crew table. Thought I should propose a new idea. At present, I believe the current table is very cluttered and busy and is objectively too repetitive. I therefore propose the below table. The rowspan function exists for a reason, and that is to avoid repetitiveness and duplication in tables. Literally every other table like this on Wikipedia utilises the colspan and rowspan functions, so I don't know why the users watching this page seem so concerned about it being an issue for "screen readers". Also, since there is 25 films, I thought shrinking the text to 80% would be a good idea. This means readers don't have to do much scrolling and will see the basic information clearly - rather than trapsing through masses of peoples names and reading "Michael G. Wilson" 12 times. Rowspanning allows readers to clearly see the "tenure" of the producers and composers. It's an incredibly helpful feature and I see no genuine reason as to why it can't be used. All the Bond film pages need to keep up with the times as they're lagging behind the other film series articles on this site.
Hopefully people can have an actual discussion about this rather than just immediately shutting each other down. I believe this is a superior way of displaying the table than the current one. Since there's so much information, simplicity is needed. At the moment, it is just tonnes of repeated information thrown at the reader. TheMysteriousEditor ( talk) 17:36, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
The above table is about as bad as it gets in terms of accessibility. The text is way too small and the rowspans are a problem for screen readers. Both are not a problem if one's eyesight is fine, but for anyone who has poor vision, they will be unable to read it properly. - SchroCat ( talk) 18:38, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
You two seem to be the main dictators round here". that is name calling, not an observation. - SchroCat ( talk) 19:55, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
People seem to be under the impression that I've only made it for aesthetic purposes. If you'd read my initial statement, I've mentioned my reasoning. Having the people span the rows allows the table to breathe and allows the reader to see the tenure of that person and their contribution to the Bond films. TheMysteriousEditor ( talk) 19:41, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
I think it's hugely useful to have the formatted to the data can be quizzed. Trying to put together all the films with a score by John Williams, or seeing all the films together that Ken Adam or Syd Cain were involved with is an excellent resource. - SchroCat ( talk) 21:45, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
I'm seeing references around the news sites to Linus Sandgren being hired for Bond 25, but so far it's all "may be" and "possibly". So it's not confirmed yet, basically a rumor. All of it seems to come from a single Tweet. I think we have to hold off until we have a reliable source saying it's a done deal. -- Doctorx0079 ( talk) 15:25, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

James Bond in film → Production of the James Bond films – The article itself in the lead (specifically the hat note) indicates that the topic is the production of the films, not generically "James Bond in film". This article is among those raised as being conflated/confused with the articles also listed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film#James Bond and the proposed title saw some support there.
