- I think it's better if we take the draft to the mainspace, since it has enough content to warrant a mainspace article (it's not like anyone is aiming for GA). --Kailash29792 (talk) 16:44, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
- It does not. Two lines of Production does not an article make. It simply needs some hard work, then it can be moved. -- TW16:53, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

FYI, DownFame has been busy recreating templates deleted after the 27 June 2017 discussion. odd, because DownFame participated in that discussion, so should be aware that these were deleted for a reason. Frietjes (talk) 18:27, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Aired episodes
I monitor a couple of error tracking categories and am trying to work out why List of Murdoch Mysteries episodes is showing an error ("Expression error: Unexpected ( operator") in the last paragraph of the lead. It is due to this:
{{Aired episodes|2018|3|19|showpage=Murdoch Mysteries|title=Murdoch Mysteries|specials=3|finished=11}}
A bonus problem is why
- Lua error in Module:Template_parameter_value at line 26: attempt to index a nil value.

"Episodes...yet to air"
This is the just another reason I am decreasing TV edits. If people cannot tell an episode has aired by looking at the airdate and the infobox's number of episodes, sure, let's flood the reference section and stretch the page. — Wyliepedia @ 02:30, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Error tracking categories
I mentioned that
I have finally got around to investigating the issue. I have no idea why but MediaWiki seems to parse the content of a js page as wikitext. Possibly that is a bug that should be fixed but meanwhile the page has three comments that contain empty templates and the errors are due to those mentions. Would you please workaround the issue by searching for {{ and replacing it with something that avoids the problem. For example, {Aired episodes} or Template:Aired_episodes. It is useful to empty extraneous stuff from the error tracking categories to make it easier to see items that need fixing. Johnuniq (talk) 03:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
Jessica Jones seasons
The other Netflix series with 3 seasons also have their own category. Should go ahead and delete those too if 3 is too few.

- I can't find the a page right now, but it's definitely something that's been stated during many deletion discussions I've seen and it's obviously the case because you're creating the fact that it's empty, it's beyond disingenuous and the guidline at the "critera for speedy deletion page" says "This criterion applies to categories that have been unpopulated for at least seven days." Which clearly isn't the case when you empty the thing yourself manually.

This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Adamstom.97 -- Adamstom.97 (talk- Hi Alex, just had a question for you here before I continue with this. The current structure of the article is fine, but having a look through the other season articles for the show it looks like there is a bit of inconsistency in terms of structure and section layout. If you were hoping to get this to a good topic at some point in the future, then you would probably want to go through and change this just to make sure it all lines up. I am happy to review this article as is, but if you do want to go ahead and make some change then I could wait until that was all sorted before giving my review.

- Hey there. Personally, I use TinEye Labs' Colour Extractor. You load in the URL of the image, or drag-and-drop the image onto the site, and it extracts the main colours of the image. Try it with any image! You can then use Snook to make sure that the colour is WCAG 2 AAA Compliant (Contrast Ratio > 7) with either white or black (as you can see, the preloaded example is). -- TW14:15, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

BRD & Status Quo
Hi, just to follow up from the recent reverts at
- (talk page stalker) I am not totally knowledgeable about this particular article, but it looks like you made a bold edit and were completely happy to follow the BRD cycle (as stated in your edit summary) ... until Alex actually reverted you and then you decided that you wanted to revert him straight back. That's not how BRD works. If you say you want to follow BRD then it is up to you to stop editing once your bold change has been reverted and take the issue to the talk page. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:21, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hmm, I see what you mean, I didn't keep the revert text in the edit description, and said I was 'removing' rather than 'reverting'. From my perspective, I didn't do any bold edit: I made a revert of a bold edit that had been made earlier that day, only to have my own revert reverted, so I returned it again to the status quo while contributing to the discussion that was pointed out (I'd waited for the original bold editor to start a discussion until I found out people had talked about it on another page). Can see how my comment would look kind of hypocritical if I just turned up and boldly deleted that line if it had been there forever! ‑‑YodinT 22:25, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
The 100
It took a lot of effort (lots and lots of commercials too) because I was thinking it happened later in the episode, but I found the specific time two characters (and the subtitles for one of them) used the word "Trig". That's just one use, and it's a primary source and we're still guilty of

For cases, such as the Brooklyn Nine-Nine example, where it doesn't look bad with the grey, it might take some adjusting, but overall it might make everything look a little better.

Game of Thrones (season 2) critical response graph
Recently, an editor updated the Rotten Tomatoes graph for this season, causing the graph to glitch, leaving yellow streaks across the graph. This glitch is nothing to do with the editor who made the edit, and changing any of the numbers appears to fix the glitch. I was wondering if you could figure out what's happened as I've tried, by briefly partially reverting the edit to no avail. Cheers TedEdwards 15:45, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Doctor Who Confidential
After viewing Doctor Who Confidential I have decided to fix up the article a bit as it seems a bit messy to me. I plan to eventually publish the changes I've made at User:TheDoctorWho/sandbox5 into the article, of course after I do more converting into episode tables, watch, more Confidential, and do a little work on the rest of the article. Two questions though, for starters the Series Overview seems a bit bulky any ideas on how it could be simplified/less confusing? Secondly, since the episodes are non-fiction I'm having a bit trouble writing the beginning of the episode summaries, do you have any ideas of what to use other than "This episode primarily covers"? Thanks! TheDoctorWho (talk) 10:13, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

A lot of articles are unreadable thanks to you.
Currently you've caused problems with articles that use Japanese episode list templates. Japanese shows include kanji and romaji in the episode titles aside from the English titles which is why the template is different in the first place. Your efforts in suggesting the deletion of the template has caused the episodes list in a lot of articles became unreadable. Please fix this problem asap. Edit: Some anime have episodes that should be watch in release order OR chronological order. This is why the sortable function in Japanese episodes list is important. Again, please fix this (all the episode titles have disappear from the articles right now). Tsukishimastarrk (talk) 07:17, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- I guess you can't read. If you actually went to the discussion, you would see that I suggested to merge it, not delete it. Are they unreadable because of the "The template below (Japanese episode list) is being considered for deletion. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus." notice? Sorry, can't remove that, has to be there. "all the episode titles have disappear from the articles right now"? Not my change. -- TW08:28, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
