Hi, I noticed you'd shuffled around the template that's now called Template:Further, along with its two alternate identities. I just wanted to call your attention to what looks like a side-effect that's breaking Template:See transclusions. See e.g. Wikipedia:Citing sources#Inline_citations.
I left an edit request at Template talk:Further with more details, perhaps you could take a look at it if you're able? Thanks. -- FeRD_NYC ( talk) 05:33, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi Alex, how would you fix the formatting on the "release" line of The Walking Dead: Michonne's infobox? Because to me it looks wrong, maybe the platforms should be in a plainlist, rather than separated with comas, and the & should be an and. But I'm not really familiar with video game infoboxes, so would you say it needs fixing, and if so where please? Cheers. Theo ( edits) 05:20, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello. I see you support my decision to remove the season subtitles for Gotham. If you can manage to put a message on every episode page besides season 1 with a possible new title, I'd appreciate it. However, I realize that may take up a lot of time, so if you can't, that's okay. I would also like to interest you in Draft:Gotham (season 2). I would really like that article to replace the season 2 section of the episode list, and I found the rejection reason to be very poor. So please message me if you are interested in helping organize Gotham on Wikipedia. Thanks for reading. JE98 ( talk) 15:56, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
Your unnecessarily snippy
reply aside, was there really a need to just arbitrarily remove useful and sourced content? We list episodes before they air, so what's wrong with noting this one? You have the ref, add it to the table if want, but better to have it somewhere then nowhere at all. Jeez guy, try an work with people instead of tromping all over everything, making it 'your way', mmkay? Have a nice day
Nevermind. I took care of it. (Don't know why you just couldn't have done
that, but whatever). Have a nice day -

better to have it somewhere then nowhere at all, this is wrong - there is no rush to add it. Please wait for a reliable source to re-add the information, and familiarize yourself with the guidelines of the Television WikiProject. This all applies to Designated Survivor as well. Cheers. -- Alex TW 11:15, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
its simply providing info... info that people are looking for (isn't that why we're here?)No, actually, it's not. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.
Keep up the good workThanks, I will! -- Alex TW 12:51, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
So I add some useful and sourced info, which you immediately removed because, (how did you put it? oh yeah...) "Wikipedia is not a tv guide
", and "there is
no rush". Then today, on
The Gifted (TV series) page, I see an identical
was made, way back on Nov 23. And despite you being very active on that page, having edited it no less than 12 times since Nov. 23, you allowed that edit to remain. In fact, when at one point it was removed by someone else, you
restored it. I have no idea how you could possibly justify such hypocrisy, but seeing you try might just be entertaining. Meanwhile, I think I'll go re-add my edits. Have a nice day. -

Please do not remove the production numbers again. I know they are not the episode numbers. The reason why I noticed that you had deleted them is that I need them.
Production numbers re particularly import for the Last Ship TV series because the series never displays the episode name anywhere. The only way to go from a recording to identifying the episode is to look at the last frame of the end credits, which has the production numbers, and then go to wikipedia to map production number to episode number.
Again, please don't tell me I don't need these numbers. I noticed you nuked them is because I needed them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartinCracauer ( talk • contribs) 04:00, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Alex 21.
As one of Wikipedia's most experienced editors, |
Hello,
I don't agree with your emptying of this category (which renders it temporarily worthless). There are tons of categories that describe things that might change, but probably won't. If somehow some Act of God / disaster / other event means that an expected premiere is pushed back, then for that particular article, the category can just be removed or updated - same as for the many, many other categories that can change. Yes, premieres that already happened are special in that they can't really change, but that doesn't matter; future premieres is still a useful and verifiable category.
Would you complain if I reverted you on this? Or any other thoughts / want to bring this to a wider discussion somewhere? SnowFire ( talk) 04:39, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alex, in your
edit summary you said that according to the
source the whole eighth season of GoT will air in 2019. However, all i can read there is: The epic fantasy series Game of Thrones will return for its six-episode, eighth and final season in 2019

Hello AlexTheWhovian. I noticed that you created the redirect Fear the Walking Dead (season 4) and have been editing Fear the Walking Dead-related articles recently, and I was wondering if you could provide a second opinion on the draft at Draft:Fear the Walking Dead (season 4). I was thinking that it's currently too soon for a standalone article about the season at this time, but apparently a premiere date was announced earlier today, and the creator of the draft has asked me to reconsider. Do you have any thoughts on whether this article should be created? Thanks, Mz7 ( talk) 04:04, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
If you would rather have your markup errors preserved, that’s kind of inconsiderate of any problems they might cause for others, but your prerogative. But please do not deliberately restore errors made by other editors that have been corrected—as a perfectly acceptable edit under the WP:talk page guidelines. You may not like the practice, but it has community support, and its reversal does not. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 07:22, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the changes to the structure of the Doctor Who episode lists. Regarding the syntax in the series overview template of both articles, in case you didn't know, the link for the classic Doctors on the 2005 onwards list links to the 2005 onwards article and the same goes for the revived Doctors on the 63-89 article. Unfortunately I can't figure out what's wrong with the syntax but I'm wondering if you could work it out. Ted Edwards 18:17, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
