Do we really need to talk about movies that may or may not be produced in the future. Paramount's financial situation is very precarious. I don't think any of these plans are concrete. This page needs a bit of a trim. Oldag07 ( talk) 17:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
DisneyMetalhead, I appreciate your contributions. While you do have sources for these, the primary Star Trek page is already 176,224 bytes, nearing the WP:SIZERULE. We are currently discussing the removal of individual sections for each series on this page, with information being moved to List of Star Trek films. Studios typically have several scripts in development simultaneously for potential movies, and while they may not officially cancel them, it's not practical to include speculative scripts for every potential future Star Trek movie on a page meant to provide an overview of the franchise's history, including TV series, films, books, cultural impact, and merchandise. Pages like Development of Star Trek 4 and List of Star Trek films already cover much of this. Star Trek has only produced three films in the last two decades; expecting six more in the next decade seems unrealistic. Even Star Wars hasn't been that productive. Additionally, Paramount's ongoing acquisition talks add uncertainty to the franchise's future [ [1]].
Look at the state of some of the future Star Trek films that currently are on this page:
Is this page, already bloated as it is, really need more information about speculative films? A good compromise could be to compress all the bullet points into a single paragraph, except for the section 31 film, which has been greenlit and is in production. Oldag07 ( talk) 12:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Removed the films that have questionable interpretation of sources:
See WP:RUMOR Oldag07 ( talk) 11:32, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Do we still need a section for all the series when there is a whole article that already does that at List of Star Trek television series? Feels like this is just leftover from before that article was created and was never cleaned-up. I propose we remove those sections and just have the overview table like we do for the films. - adamstom97 ( talk) 12:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
As long as there's are the same details and a similar layout on the List of Star Trek television series article, this doesn't seem controversial.-- DisneyMetalhead ( talk) 16:23, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
If we are moving individual sections for each of the shows, something I agree with, we should also move the top ten episodes section. I don't think it is controverial, so i will do so now. Oldag07 ( talk) 16:35, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
A proposal has been made to move the List of Star Trek episodes page into the List of Star Trek lists. Discussion Oldag07 ( talk) 17:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
