i can provide a reliable source, can you add it to the page? https://fullcirclecinema.com/2019/09/02/demore-barnes-wintergreen-titans-season-2/ here, it is. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.207.128.90 (talk) 09:33, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

I've taken a look at your source; it states "According to insider Lance Ausfresser in the Titans Facebook group". That's not a reliable source. -- /Alex/₂₁ 09:35, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Infobox television season

Please be careful when removing season_name from articles that use it. At the iCarly season articles it is needed because the infobox improperly capitalises the "i" in "iCarly" forcing it to display as "ICarly". This was one of the examples specifically mentioned at Template talk:Infobox television season#Infobox titles broken after changes to the infobox were implemented. --AussieLegend (✉) 10:44, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I think the anon IP was right and it would be better to not emphasize anything about spin-off/separate universe at all in the article lead. I've explained a bit more on the talk page and I hope you will consider reverting your revert. -- 109.79.168.251 (talk) 15:58, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

F is for family - season 4 realease date

Hi Alex,

Why did you remove my update to the "F is for Family" wiki page? Here is the source: http://www.tvmaze.com/shows/6209/f-is-for-family

let me know (if) what i did wrong.. Thank you, Naor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naor.Jonasoff (talk • contribs) 13:47, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@Naor.Jonasoff: TVMaze is a user-generated site, much like Wikipedia, making it an unreliable source. I only removed the unsourced table, not the premiere date. -- /Alex/₂₁ 13:49, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Hiding Notes

Is there some sort of guideline for when to use ^ and when to use <! for hiding notes and extra episode lines? I've noticed a shift towards ^ of late, is this an official change or is it more of a dealers choice sort of thing? I never know which one to use and no matter what I choose it seems someone edits to change to the other. Any direction would be appreciated thanks - Racheal Emilin (talk) 13:22, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Racheal Emilin, Dealer's choice, basically. If you read the documentation at Template:^, you'll see why it's so useful: you can hide and nest full HTML comments in them. So, for example, here, when hiding the Season 4 header with <!, you couldn't use <! for the "Per MOS:TVSEASONYEAR" note. If someone removed that first <! instead of moving it, then the note would become fully visible. That's not what we want. Here, however, we can use ^ and include the full note, so when we show the table, we can just remove the ^, instead of having to remove the <! and move it to the start of the note. Less hassle! -- /Alex/₂₁ 13:26, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

OK cool, I see what you mean about the nested notes like trying to hide a "Don't add copyrighted text, e.g. from the show's website" note in the summary when you also want to hide that particular episode until you have more info. Thanks! Racheal Emilin (talk) 13:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, exactly! That's probably one of the best uses for it in the TV project, adding a HTML note to the ShortSummary parameter and using ^ to hide the whole list template. Means you just have to remove the ^ later on, instead of messing around with messy HTML notes. All the best! -- /Alex/₂₁ 13:43, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Doctor Who (2013 specials)

The article Doctor Who (2013 specials) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Doctor Who (2013 specials) for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Kingsif -- Kingsif (talk) 02:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Kingsif, I believe something went wrong when promoting the article to GA... The bot hasn't sent the typical "The article you nominated as a good article has passed" or added the GA icon to the article. I tried readding it to the GA nominations article, but no luck there in fixing it. -- /Alex/₂₁ 23:09, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Legobot might be slow; the article is listed on the GA page, and I think the template {{GA icon}} is the one to use at the top of the page to show it. Kingsif (talk) 05:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Kingsif, it's definitely not slow, it's already informed and promoted other passing articles, I think it's just gone faulty on this article. I'll add the icon manually. Cheers. -- /Alex/₂₁ 01:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Template:Smallcaps all

I got the new implementation for this template. The new source code doesn't use any parser function but make use of TemplateStyles only, so it doesn't permanently change letter case, and not affect copying the text. The TemplateStyle page is already done, you can copy the following source code to the main template.

<span class="smallcaps-all">{{#if:{{{2|}}}|<span>{{{1}}}</span>}}{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}</span><noinclude>
{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

Great Brightstar, okay.. I'm confused. Is this a protected template edit request? -- /Alex/₂₁ 22:27, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the new source code is already passed the validate, but the template is protected that I have no rights to update, and it's the only letter case template that I've found is still use parser function. --Great Brightstar (talk) 00:20, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Undoing an edit twice because you were incapable of understanding why it was made is just about the dumbest thing I've seen on Wikipedia. Grow up. 46.208.152.94 (talk) 22:52, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm sure you know how to use your words. So use your edit summaries to explain your edits. I'm sure it's really not that hard for you! -- /Alex/₂₁ 22:55, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Question

Alex, I note your action after I ran the script, here. I've sometimes wondered what difference those templates make (what their advantage is, and whether they can be used in all table-contexts). Tony (talk) 07:13, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Tony1, yeah, I see your edit here; the script that fixes MOS:NUM, etc. always seems to remove the {{start date}} template from episode tables. The benefits of that template can be seen at its documentation. -- /Alex/₂₁ 07:22, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

So I could raise with Ohconfucius the possibility of removing that function from the script. Do you think it should be removed ... or made more selective in its application? Why did he insert that function in the first place? (Ohconfucius is on en.WP only occasionally, but I can email him). Tony (talk) 07:32, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

More selective, definitely. For example, the script should definitely remove the template when it's used in regular article prose. However, it should be kept when used in other templates. If you do email him, let me know how it goes. Cheers. -- /Alex/₂₁ 07:38, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Thx. @Ohconfucius:. Tony (talk) 01:29, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Dedicated

About my edit that was reverted: what's wrong with letting readers know that a certain episode was dedicated to the memory of a beloved actor? --SkyGuy94 (talk) 18:04, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

@SkyGuy94: Please create a new section when creating a new topic. The section is for a short summary of the episode's plot. Details such as dedications can be included in the parent article. -- /Alex/₂₁ 21:10, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

The End of the World

What would you have me add to The End of the World for it not to be deleted? MacCready (talk) 23:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

MacCready, it's not being deleted, it was moved to the draft space. The article needs a lot more real-world information such as reception, release details and awards, instead of just consisting solely of a lead and a plot summary. -- /Alex/₂₁ 23:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Got it. Will add. MacCready (talk) 23:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

MacCready, concerning your previous edits, what sources do you have to support that the series is titled "Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain"? Or was the move based what you believe the series is titled? -- /Alex/₂₁ 07:40, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't have a specific source to be linked; I spoke to the author himself this past Saturday, who informed me that that was his preferred title for the series collectively, that he had wanted to title Skulduggery Pleasant: Resurrection and the future planned eight books in development beyond as Valkyrie Cain, so-as to keep The Dying of the Light as the last Skulduggery Pleasant book (for a variety of reasons, one of which being so that readers new to the series could still see it as a culmination, the "end" of the series), but was vetoed by HarperCollins executives for branding purposes. I do think in retrospect it may be too early to have such a page rename though, perhaps if he is ever successful in having the new series renamed in a future edition, or moving ahead with the film adaptation, that would be the time. Similarly, while I'm on the topic, he gave myself an update on the in-development Skulduggery Pleasant film with regards the current script, to which I also have no link; would you think I can still mention the details I learned in the film adaptation section of the Skulduggery Pleasant page? MacCready (talk) 08:56, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

MacCready, ah, so it was all through an interview of a sort. Unfortunately, such primary sources cannot be used on Wikipedia unless published. That applies to the film adaptation too. -- /Alex/₂₁ 09:06, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Very well. Would you think I have enough at the draft page now to make it an article; if not, what should I add? MacCready (talk) 00:49, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks

... for correcting "bit part." I thought it had to be case-sensitive. Cheers! Shir-El too 08:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Shir-El too, I was confused as to what I'm being thanked for/what I corrected, but then I found this edit, was this what you were referring to? In that case, no worries and glad to help, but that was automatically the program I used! My edits were only updating "infoheader" to "infoA".

But in any case, concerning your edit, yeah, there's no need to pipe a link when the link and the text are exactly the same save for the first character being upper/lowercase. So, in this case, [[bit part]] is identical to [[Bit part|bit part]]. You can read more at the "Style" section of MOS:PIPE. -- /Alex/₂₁ 09:27, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, that's the one, and thanks again. Unfortunately I don't absorb info from 'manuals' very well, most of the time flying by the seat of my pants or copying formatting that looks good elsewhere.

BTW am "sandboxing" a short (but I think) interesting article. May I ask you to look at it before it's submitted? Cheers! Shir-El too 10:02, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Shir-El too, no promises, but I should be able to take a quick look over it. Let me know when it's ready! -- /Alex/₂₁ 10:19, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Historical

The use of a v. an is determined by whether the h is sounded. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 02:32, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Agreed. For example, "an hour", because the H is not pronounced, vs. "a historical", because the H is pronounced. Either way, Merriam-Webster says either applies in this case, so I'm not going to fuss over such a minor issue. -- /Alex/₂₁ 02:36, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Maybe it depends on whether you're French or Cockney. Some Brits write 'a herb' [which quite frankly gives me goosebumps], despite the word following the French who don't pronounce their H's. : ) Have Fun! Shir-El too 07:12, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Our own Wikipedia article on the topic describes "historical" as being pronounced with its "h", so there's that. -- /Alex/₂₁ 07:13, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Ref formatting

Regarding your edit here, this is my reply: I add and edit references with a gadget named ProveIt. It has a "normalise" button, which formats the styling of all references within its view. That is just what I did here, and I don't see what's wrong. --Kailash29792 (talk) 03:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Kailash29792, yes, I've seen your edits formatting references. Why does every references need to match exactly? What was the point in capitalizing "cite" and changing to "access-date"? How does that fix the readability or display of those references? The references that Favre and I added are perfectly acceptable per template and V/RS standards. -- /Alex/₂₁ 03:59, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Alex 21, I have no idea. I just click the "normalize everything" button (this is how it originally looked), and all refs get instantly formatted. But maybe I like the end result, so I don't manually re-edit every ref. I wonder how you add Twitter refs since {{cite tweet}} is not part of WP:RefToolbar (it is part of ProveIt though) which I think you use. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:15, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Template:Television episode ratings

Mind taking a look at Template:Television episode ratings/testcases to make sure I didn't miss anything? Thanks. The changes were made so pages like the Arrowverse crossover don't need manual code. --Gonnym (talk) 18:43, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Gonnym, looks good to me! Would it be worth keeping the number column (for the numbered episode of the crossover), and just toggling the title column between episode/series title? If not, then it's likely good to be implemented. -- /Alex/₂₁ 22:37, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Yeah that would be easy to change. I just copied the style of what was used in the manual list. I'll make the updates now. --Gonnym (talk) 22:59, 31 October 2019 (UTC)\

Made the changes. Let me know if this is good. --Gonnym (talk) 23:04, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
