RfC: Kenneth Branagh template organization
My argument is that each director's films are properly subdivided according to format or medium, which is standard for Wikipedia. In contrast,
George Miller is famous for directing the Mad Max films yet his director template is not divided between Mad Max films and Other films. Guy Hamilton is famous for directing four James Bond films yet his director template is not divided between James Bond films and Other films. There is therefore no real standard established precedent for doing so. Each director's films are properly subdivided according to format or medium, which is standard for Wikipedia. Agree or disagree. --Nicholas0 (talk) 14:51, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

- While it is possible for such templates to use sub-groups well, I do not find the sub-groups ("Shakespeare adaptations" and "Christie adaptations") useful here. While I understand recognizing the Shakespeare adaptations as a sub-group in general, the average reader cannot tell if the sub-group exists because the person is "known" for it or if an editor decided to separate out films with a common theme. For example, Branagh has directed works based on classics Frankenstein and Cinderella, so theoretically there could be a sub-group for that. It's not necessary to engage in separating-out in navigation templates. It makes more sense to recognize a sub-group of films in prose in the article body, in the context of the person. One sub-optimal effect of separating out is that it does not organize all of his feature films in one chronological order. One has to go back and forth between the main group and the sub-group to follow a chronology. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:21, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
- @WP:RFCBEFORE has been followed, so why have you gone straight to a full-blown thirty-day formal RfC? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:51, 9 February 2020 (UTC)]
