Geraldo, general question for you: if Disney Channel or Nickelodeon advertise something as a "movie" or a "movie event" (e.g. this), but there is no independent sourcing calling it such, is it still a "movie" (e.g. [1])? Or is it better called a "one-hour episode"? TIA. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 01:27, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Is that the "official" way of doing it? I thought it was just some odd formatting choice. When I cleaned up the articles in my sandbox, a very small amount had them like that before I touched them, but the majority didn't, so I thought maybe it was something outdated. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 04:12, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Question: There was a change made a while ago to Template:Reflist which automatically splits the list into columns when there are 11 or more references, which is why I removed it, so what exactly were you referring to with this? Thanks in advance! Amaury ( talk | contribs) 02:31, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Likely going to need some extra eyes on the article following today's announcement. Just like with anything else, whether it's new cast additions or what have you, the article covers the series as a whole and he is still starring and should still be listed. There is also no such thing as a "Former main" section. Pinging MPFitz1968, Nyuszika7H, and IJBall as well. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 03:14, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
@ IJBall: We're likely going to need to think of some different wording that still keeps it in the present tense as people keep changing it. People obviously don't understand how anything works or bother to check the history of articles. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 19:25, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

With Bizaardvark pretty much settled, though we should still keep an eye on it, we should probably shift our focus over to the Jake Paul article. On Bizaardvark, as Geraldo stated on its talk page, we really only care that he left the show, but more detailed information should be posted on Jake Paul's page. However, it should be done properly and not misquote things and the like. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 19:02, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
It is likely that Paul actually got let go from Disney because of Paul's recent infamous antics, which included a feud between him and his neighbours and illegal stunts.and the corresponding source just be removed entirely? Amaury ( talk | contribs) 19:01, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
I could use some extras eyes on the article. Larsconks isn't exactly a vandal, but they've been rather disruptive and then combative when they're warned if you take a look at their talk page. I don't hate him, but I'm not a huge fan of Jake Paul—or "Jake Paulers" as he calls his fans—and that's been the case even before recent events, but even I know what his catchphrase is. (I subscribed a few months ago just because I found some videos interesting.) Although, truth be told, do we even need to list his catchphrase? Amaury ( talk | contribs) 14:10, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
IPs like this keep popping up and adding bogus categories to live-action television series, and it's been going on since last year. Most recently, other than this IP, they've hit List of Bella and the Bulldogs episodes and List of Zoey 101 episodes. Is this a known IP using proxies? I'll ping IJBall as well.

In what way is
this supposed to considered "correct"? I have never seen this done at any other TV article anywhere, and I have no idea how
MOS:COMMA is supposed to support that. The more relevant MOS guideline here would seem to be
MOS:DATERANGE – if an {{
ndash}} was used instead of the word "to", it would be "August 15, 2011 – March 12, 2013"
, with obviously no comma... Can somebody help me out here, and explain why this is either right or wrong better than I can?... --

Hi, Geraldo! Could you keep an eye on the editor I mentioned to you here back in mid-July? Although I am considering an AIV report might be appropriate. Thanks! Amaury ( talk | contribs) 02:56, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Anna Cathcart. Was previously nominated for deletion – Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anna Cathcart – in May, and the result was delete. I'm assuming this version is better sourced that the previous version that was deleted. But, objectively, subject looks to be short on WP:NACTOR, with only Odd Squad (TV series) and a very supporting role in Descendants 2 to her name... For once, I don't have a strong opinion on this one (though I lean towards thinking it's 1–2 years WP:TOOSOON), though if you think it's short of notability, I'd probably be inclined take it to WP:AfD then. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 03:34, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
With Jake Paul's announced departure from the series, and multiple editors including autoconfirmed accounts removing his name, I am having thoughts about using this approach (which I read only an admin or template editors can add but users can request). Semiprotection will only stop the IPs temporarily, but they and all other editors need to be aware of the WP:TVCAST guideline pertaining to this matter. Certainly, we could put hidden notes at various places in the article (there is one in the Characters section). Not sure what effect an edit notice will have, though there will be those who will ignore that or the hidden notes, not to mention the guidelines. Thoughts? (pinging Amaury, IJBall and Nyuszika7H) MPFitz1968 ( talk) 07:39, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
I saw your revert at Descendants 2 [4] and in your edit summary you said about names redirecting back to the article. Plenty of these redirects (to people who had been red links) were created quite recently by Mecj2, like Brenna D'Amico, Thomas Doherty (actor), Dylan Playfair, Dianne Doan and Jedidiah Goodacre, probably among others. I'm thinking those are inappropriate redirects, as Dianne Doan and Jedidiah Goodacre, at least, were in both Descendants films. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 21:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Hey, who knows how to create (and populate) a category?!... In messing around with {{ WikiProject Degrassi}} with this edit, it looks like I (inadvertently) started linking articles to Category:Degrassi: Next Class articles, which is empty. At the least, it looks like Degrassi: Next Class and List of Degrassi: Next Class episodes should be included in this currently-"null" category...
So, anyone know what needs to be done? In addition to the TPS's, I'm going to ping Nyuszika7H specifically, in case he knows anything about categories... TIA. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 17:46, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
Whether or not a category should be created is another issue, see Category:Descendants, a category I don't believe is warranted considering it only has four entries. It was also created by one of our disruptive editors. And two of entries in that category were also created by them. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 18:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

I've seen a couple of IPs add this to the infobox. I'm thinking this is an improper use of "agent", as the instructions at Template:Infobox person state "discouraged in most cases, specifically when promotional".

I'm inclined to slap a speedy deletion on this one (G4) as the previous article about him was deleted via a previous AfD back in January. Where I'm scratching my head is the G4 guideline says it needs to be a sufficiently identical copy of the previous article, but I have no idea on that. Also, the title of the new article goes against convention with the use of the capital "A" (in actor), plus the two references mentioned in the article don't work, which is annoying. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 23:22, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
I know that only statements the network and the showrunner make are ones that we can use even if a cast member has mentioned something on their verified account on whatever site because the network and showrunner are the only ones who speak for show. However, how do we handle something like this? From what I heard, they've got 12 of the 14 (production) episodes ordered for the fourth season filmed, but it will certainly cause some confusion if the fourth season is ordered additional episodes and/or the series is renewed for a fifth season. The series most likely will have additional episodes ordered for its fourth season as a common pattern with Nickelodeon with The Thundermans and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn seems to be to order small seasons at first (13 or 14 episodes), and then order more. This was the case with Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn's third season, which was initially ordered 14 episodes, but then had an additional order, bringing the total to 24 episodes. Same with The Thundermans' fourth season, which was ordered additional episodes twice, and both of the series' other seasons, I believe, except the first seasons, which were ordered 20 episodes from the start. Whereas series like Henry Danger and Game Shakers get about 20 episodes from the start when they're renewed. Pinging MPFitz1968, Nyuszika7H, and IJBall.

We seem to have a unique situation here with I Am Frankie, at least I think it's unique as I don't ever recall seeing this before. The series premiered last Monday, September 4, though Nickelodeon called it a sneak peek. The official "premiere" was yesterday. Here's the situation: The first episode is a double-length single episode as seen here on the Nickelodeon site: [7] (44 minutes). The series isn't on Amazon and iTunes yet, but Nickelodeon's site is just as official in that regard. The sneak peek that aired on September 4 was the first half of what aired yesterday, meaning that only one episode has aired thus far. That means "I Am ... in Danger" should be episode one. How do we handle this with the first half used for the sneak peek being titled something else? Pinging MPFitz1968 and Nyuszika7H as well. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 01:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
and note that the first half of the second episode was a repeat of the first episode to airSo forgive me here, but wouldn't that be confusing? The "second" episode, as it is currently listed, is actually the first episode, which is a single double-length episode—like Henry Danger's "Hour of Power" double-length episode. This is further supported by how "I Am ... in Danger," the only listing, is listed on Amazon as mentioned. It's just that only the first half of "I Am ... in Danger" was used for the sneak peek, which was also given a different title instead of leaving it as it was. If you take a look at the video I linked in my first message and skip to 22:00, a few seconds from that point, you'll hear "Urgent! Liquid detected! Important! Locate shelter immediately!" Right after that is where the sneak peek ended, right before it switches away from Frankie's view of things. If you continue for a few more seconds, you'll see Cole comes up to Frankie and provides shelter for her with his umbrella, and there was no transition of any kind in the full episode where the sneak peek ended.
Per what I said here, where I'm not really sure how to handle that, I just thought of something else that might work. Since the sneak peek wasn't a full episode and just part of it, as I mentioned above earlier, I wonder if it would be reasonable to list the sneak peek as a standalone special, somewhat similar to what we did with Hunter Street's recap special.

Hey, you reverted the recent addition of Jessica DiCicco to the births of June 10 with the edit summary "Unsourced".

Could you guys keep an extra eye on this? People keep trying to add the season three end count and date. We likely won't be able to do that until there's information on season four premiering/episodes. (I like how the last editor I reverted 13 minutes ago made false allegations.) College starts for me again today, so I won't be as available as I've been all summer. Normally, I'd still be on my laptop during breaks or when I'm done with classes and waiting for the bus, but my laptop started crashing back during spring quarter, so I just got fed up with it, and after summer break started, I just threw it hard against the floor. It probably still works, but I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon. (I was planning on getting a new one even if I hadn't thrown it.) Until then, I just have my tablet, and while I can use the desktop version of Wikipedia just fine and still revert and the like, it takes a while to type. I'll also be mostly watching YouTube videos. I'll be using the library computers to add viewership information (I've only used the tablet when I had to), but I'm not going to be there the whole time. Thanks, guys! (

The image is way too big for a non-free image - it's almost twice the guideline size. I'm sure any image maps can be rescaled if necessary. The presence of an image map is not a sufficient reason to exceed the guideline, one needs a far better rationale to have an oversized image.

How do we handle a situation like this? Deadline says Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn season three ended August 3, which is clearly incorrect as there was no new episode on that date.

Hey, I was just wondering, if every site considers it 24 episodes and Nick considers it 24, why do we only count it as 23 on this website? Doesn't that take away from the overall episode count if we don't mention that there are 24 episodes but one is a one hour special? I just think that's the only logical and right thing to do. I've noticed some shows on the wiki don't truly represent that actual episode count which as a Wikipedia, shouldn't it be the truth? I was trying to use the citing source thing to note it since I saw it also used on shows where the overall episode count of a season could vary due to the length of one episode. Just want to know if that's not allowed on here, though.. :) Joshie ( New Horizons Await You) 05:05, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Is that the "official" way of doing it? I thought it was just some odd formatting choice. When I cleaned up the articles in my sandbox, a very small amount had them like that before I touched them, but the majority didn't, so I thought maybe it was something outdated.

Question: There was a change made a while ago to Template:Reflist which automatically splits the list into columns when there are 11 or more references, which is why I removed it, so what exactly were you referring to with this?

Likely going to need some extra eyes on the article following today's announcement. Just like with anything else, whether it's new cast additions or what have you, the article covers the series as a whole and he is still starring and should still be listed. There is also no such thing as a "Former main" section. Pinging MPFitz1968, Nyuszika7H, and IJBall as well. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 03:14, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
@ IJBall: We're likely going to need to think of some different wording that still keeps it in the present tense as people keep changing it. People obviously don't understand how anything works or bother to check the history of articles. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 19:25, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

With Bizaardvark pretty much settled, though we should still keep an eye on it, we should probably shift our focus over to the Jake Paul article. On Bizaardvark, as Geraldo stated on its talk page, we really only care that he left the show, but more detailed information should be posted on Jake Paul's page. However, it should be done properly and not misquote things and the like. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 19:02, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

I could use some extras eyes on the article. Larsconks isn't exactly a vandal, but they've been rather disruptive and then combative when they're warned if you take a look at their talk page. I don't hate him, but I'm not a huge fan of Jake Paul—or "Jake Paulers" as he calls his fans—and that's been the case even before recent events, but even I know what his catchphrase is. (I subscribed a few months ago just because I found some videos interesting.) Although, truth be told, do we even need to list his catchphrase? Amaury ( talk | contribs) 14:10, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
IPs like this keep popping up and adding bogus categories to live-action television series, and it's been going on since last year.

In what way is

Anna Cathcart. Was previously nominated for deletion – Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anna Cathcart – in May, and the result was delete. I'm assuming this version is better sourced that the previous version that was deleted. But, objectively, subject looks to be short on WP:NACTOR, with only Odd Squad (TV series) and a very supporting role in Descendants 2 to her name... For once, I don't have a strong opinion on this one (though I lean towards thinking it's 1–2 years WP:TOOSOON), though if you think it's short of notability, I'd probably be inclined take it to WP:AfD then. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 03:34, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
With Jake Paul's announced departure from the series, and multiple editors including autoconfirmed accounts removing his name, I am having thoughts about using this approach (which I read only an admin or template editors can add but users can request). Semiprotection will only stop the IPs temporarily, but they and all other editors need to be aware of the WP:TVCAST guideline pertaining to this matter. Certainly, we could put hidden notes at various places in the article (there is one in the Characters section). Not sure what effect an edit notice will have, though there will be those who will ignore that or the hidden notes, not to mention the guidelines. Thoughts?

I saw your revert at Descendants 2 [4] and in your edit summary you said about names redirecting back to the article. Plenty of these redirects (to people who had been red links) were created quite recently by Mecj2, like Brenna D'Amico, Thomas Doherty (actor), Dylan Playfair, Dianne Doan and Jedidiah Goodacre, probably among others. I'm thinking those are inappropriate redirects, as Dianne Doan and Jedidiah Goodacre, at least, were in both Descendants films. MPFitz1968 ( talk) 21:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Whether or not a category should be created is another issue, see Category:Descendants, a category I don't believe is warranted considering it only has four entries.

I'm inclined to slap a speedy deletion on this one (G4) as the previous article about him was deleted via a previous AfD back in January. Where I'm scratching my head is the G4 guideline says it needs to be a sufficiently identical copy of the previous article, but I have no idea on that. Also, the title of the new article goes against convention with the use of the capital "A" (in actor), plus the two references mentioned in the article don't work, which is annoying.

I know that only statements the network and the showrunner make are ones that we can use even if a cast member has mentioned something on their verified account on whatever site because the network and showrunner are the only ones who speak for show. However, how do we handle something like this? From what I heard, they've got 12 of the 14 (production) episodes ordered for the fourth season filmed, but it will certainly cause some confusion if the fourth season is ordered additional episodes and/or the series is renewed for a fifth season. The series most likely will have additional episodes ordered for its fourth season as a common pattern with Nickelodeon with The Thundermans and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn seems to be to order small seasons at first (13 or 14 episodes), and then order more. This was the case with Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn's third season, which was initially ordered 14 episodes, but then had an additional order, bringing the total to 24 episodes. Same with The Thundermans' fourth season, which was ordered additional episodes twice, and both of the series' other seasons, I believe, except the first seasons, which were ordered 20 episodes from the start. Whereas series like Henry Danger and Game Shakers get about 20 episodes from the start when they're renewed. Pinging MPFitz1968, Nyuszika7H, and IJBall.

We seem to have a unique situation here with I Am Frankie, at least I think it's unique as I don't ever recall seeing this before. The series premiered last Monday, September 4, though Nickelodeon called it a sneak peek. The official "premiere" was yesterday. Here's the situation: The first episode is a double-length single episode as seen here on the Nickelodeon site: [7] (44 minutes). The series isn't on Amazon and iTunes yet, but Nickelodeon's site is just as official in that regard. The sneak peek that aired on September 4 was the first half of what aired yesterday, meaning that only one episode has aired thus far. That means "I Am ... in Danger" should be episode one. How do we handle this with the first half used for the sneak peek being titled something else? Pinging MPFitz1968 and Nyuszika7H as well. Amaury ( talk | contribs) 01:08, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
and note that the first half of the second episode was a repeat of the first episode to airSo forgive me here, but wouldn't that be confusing? The "second" episode, as it is currently listed, is actually the first episode, which is a single double-length episode—like Henry Danger's "Hour of Power" double-length episode. This is further supported by how "I Am ... in Danger," the only listing, is listed on Amazon as mentioned. It's just that only the first half of "I Am ... in Danger" was used for the sneak peek, which was also given a different title instead of leaving it as it was. If you take a look at the video I linked in my first message and skip to 22:00, a few seconds from that point, you'll hear "Urgent! Liquid detected! Important! Locate shelter immediately!" Right after that is where the sneak peek ended, right before it switches away from Frankie's view of things. If you continue for a few more seconds, you'll see Cole comes up to Frankie and provides shelter for her with his umbrella, and there was no transition of any kind in the full episode where the sneak peek ended.
Per what I said here, where I'm not really sure how to handle that, I just thought of something else that might work. Since the sneak peek wasn't a full episode and just part of it, as I mentioned above earlier, I wonder if it would be reasonable to list the sneak peek as a standalone special, somewhat similar to what we did with Hunter Street's recap special.

Could you guys keep an extra eye on this? People keep trying to add the season three end count and date. We likely won't be able to do that until there's information on season four premiering/episodes. (I like how the last editor I reverted 13 minutes ago made false allegations.) College starts for me again today, so I won't be as available as I've been all summer. Normally, I'd still be on my laptop during breaks or when I'm done with classes and waiting for the bus, but my laptop started crashing back during spring quarter, so I just got fed up with it, and after summer break started, I just threw it hard against the floor. It probably still works, but I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon. (I was planning on getting a new one even if I hadn't thrown it.) Until then, I just have my tablet, and while I can use the desktop version of Wikipedia just fine and still revert and the like, it takes a while to type. I'll also be mostly watching YouTube videos. I'll be using the library computers to add viewership information (I've only used the tablet when I had to), but I'm not going to be there the whole time. Thanks, guys! (

The image is way too big for a non-free image - it's almost twice the guideline size. I'm sure any image maps can be rescaled if necessary.

How do we handle a situation like this? Deadline says Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn season three ended August 3, which is clearly incorrect as there was no new episode on that date.

Hey, I was just wondering, if every site considers it 24 episodes and Nick considers it 24, why do we only count it as 23 on this website? Doesn't that take away from the overall episode count if we don't mention that there are 24 episodes but one is a one hour special? I just think that's the only logical and right thing to do. I've noticed some shows on the wiki don't truly represent that actual episode count which as a Wikipedia, shouldn't it be the truth? I was trying to use the citing source thing to note it since I saw it also used on shows where the overall episode count of a season could vary due to the length of one episode. Just want to know if that's not allowed on here, though.. :) Joshie ( New Horizons Await You) 05:05, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
