List of The Fairly OddParents episodes
Can you please rearrange the list by the order of broadcast? Rollbacker Geraldo Perez and Magical Golden Whip want it to be per broadcast company as aired, which I believe refers to broadcast order. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 23:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @BaldiBasicsFan Is there a reason you are unable to do so yourself? I'm not sure how this is a complicated edit. -- Alex_21 TALK 23:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Episode list template is broken
Can you please fix it and see what the problem is? BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 22:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

PAGE) 23:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)- I noticed that the term "original air date" retired from the main table in favor of "original release date". Was it due to the rise of streaming? The viewer table was lucky enough to be kept though. BaldiBasicsFan (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- @BaldiBasicsFan If we were going by airing vs. streaming, it would need to be "Original air date" and "Original streaming date". "Original release date" covers every format of release, and it now conforms with every other table we use, especially infoboxes. By viewer table, do you mean {{Television episode ratings}}? -- Alex_21 TALK 01:38, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry to just randomly barge in, but I'd like to ask a question regarding this new episode table change. Would it still be technically correct as to keep the AltDate parameter listed as "[Blank] air date" if it syndicated on television, such as being out of its original country of origin? This is a common parameter used for anime that would still have to be defined as such, especially now because of streaming. GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 04:47, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- @GalaxyFighter55 No worries! I don't see why not. For example, {{Television episode ratings}} is still using "Air date", as that template is designed for episodes that actually aired. "Original air date" or "UK air date" (for example) are still completely valid alternatives. We're not completely phasing out the word "air", just developing a sense of conformity across most articles. -- Alex_21 TALK 06:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Bot making unjustified edits and general incompetence to incorporate anonymous participation
Regarding this, you can't make up a justification a posteriori about an edition made arbitrarily by a bot. You should explain why the bot made that edition and defend it on its own merit.
I'm honestly sick and tired of bots treating well-intentioned editions as vandalism. And more to the point, it's also rather disrespectful to undo a legitimate edition rather than correct it to keep the additional information. If someone takes some time to add information that isn't presented in the place or manner it should, the responsibility of the person that notices it is to either flag it for edition with the appropriate marker so someone else fixes it, or to fix it themselves.
This sort of incompetence and indifference just deters spontaneous participation, which is why Wikipedia has become more and more a collection of ghettos that monopolize content in their respective areas of interest, with editors even getting notifications whenever "their" content is modified.

- You mean your edit I reverted here, that another editor also reverted here? Look at the edit summary, I gave a reason. There was no salvagable additional information, thus by removing it, I did fix the article. Not sure what you mean by "bot" here; no automated edits were made. Ta. (Oh, and
editors even getting notifications whenever "their" content is modified

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. (If you look at User:GreenC bot, you'll even see exactly who owns the bot!) Still also don't know "full well" what you mean. Nobody gets notifications whenever "their" content is modified. That's made up.

re: bludgeoning
I am having a very difficult time with the user who we have both asked not to bludgeon.
The renaming discussion led me to think that perhaps we need further guidelines for the future, because as fires increase, we will run into this issue more often.Because I am relatively new to editing, I left a message in teahouse about future guidelines, here.
They began to bludgeon me there, too, accused me of bad behavior, and then specifically said something to me that I asked them not to and then accused me of casting aspersions.
What can I do? Does this rise to the level of ANI?
Thank you,
delecto

List of Torchwood episodes
Hey, back again. I wasn't aware of this until it was just brought up in the FLC, but apparently in the series 2 episode table, episodes 6-12 list combine ratings from BBC Two and BBC Three. I don't know if that's necessarily the best ay to handle the situation, as we're listing figures from an original broadcast and a repeat, while all other episodes only list an original broadcast. By traditional methods we only list from the initial broadcast, but that would mean significantly scaled down numbers. Episode 6 for example, only received 0.849 million on BBC3, the other 3.22 are from BBC2. At the same time, it feels odd to list the BBC3 date and the BBC2 figures. One option would just be to swap the entire table over to BBC2 data (dates and figures) and denote BBC3 data with footnotes, but I wasn't sure if you had any other alternatives I might consider first? TheDoctorWho (talk) 17:54, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hm, that's definitely an interesting situation. Personally, I would definitely just swap it over to BBC2, as that's what the series overview table originally had, just BBC2. Another way could be looking at how List of Humans episodes is listed, with separate rows for UK/US, but in this case, separate rows for BBC2/BBB2, though I feel that would make the table overly cluttered. If you do update it to BBC2, I'd recommend updating the episode articles as well; for example, "Reset" would be listed as 20 February 2008, but its article currently lists 13 February 2008. -- Alex_21 TALK 23:05, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Done Both the episode tables and individual Infoboxes have been updated to the BBC2 data with BBC3 broadcast/figures explained in footnotes and prose where necessary. I'd be more inclined to use separate rows (or columns like I did for the dates at Miracle Day) if it were every episode, but with it barely being half, this seemed like the better option. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Good job! (It's always Who that has to be complicated somehow...) Perhaps one day we can also look at developing Series 1 and 2 article pages for Torchwood; only the latter two have articles. -- Alex_21 TALK 02:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- Making articles for the first two series is something that's been on my to do list for several years 😅. Perhaps I'll get around to it this year (hopefully), I can't imagine they'd be too difficult with the information that's already in the show's article.

Resizing images
I noticed you strongly support the fact that images can not exceed the limit of 100,000 pixels, also known as 0.1 megapixels. You also wrote a script for automatically making images stay below this limit. However, right below the part that states this in WP:IMAGERES, they tell you if one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or if the pixel count approaches 1 megapixel, they tell you reducing is not needed.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
The series is limited series so i think it an end date should be added.
Source: https://gamerant.com/star-wars-skeleton-crew-season-1-ending-explained/ 122.55.235.120 (talk) 01:49, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- I see no source within the article stating that it is a limited series. Your source states
[w]hile a second season is unlikely
, meaning that is it not confirmed that a second series will not happen. Thus, per WP:TV standards, it stays as present until we find out otherwise, or a year passes, whichever happens first. -- Alex_21 TALK 02:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC)- It is after [w]hile a second season is unlikely, the limited series wraps up neatly with no pressing need for continuation.

Current season hatnote removal
You are actually purposefully ignoring and misrepresenting multiple guidelines. There is no consensus here to remove the hatnotes, and you were supposed to open further discussion if the consensus had changed, which you didn't. Additionally, there is no violation of WP:HATNOTE despite you stating so, hatnotes are cheap and the purpose of a hatnote is to provide further or other disambiguated articles that readers are likely to be looking for from this target. Continually adding the season 11 article link to the lead instead of the hatnote is actually against the concise, short nature of MOS:LEAD.
Adding a season link hatnote to a series article isn't anywhere near the same as a TV guide, and even if it was, that policy doesn't apply here as WP:TVGUIDE applies to only "an article on a broadcaster" (meaning articles like CBS, BBC and Network 10), and not applying to series/season articles themselves at all. Also, per WP:NCDAB/WP:NATURALDAB, this is a further disambiguation as even if the season number is not in brackets it is still a natural disambiguation and still provides disambiguation from other articles.

Episode table/part and Doctor Who specials
On second thought, a standalone table on the series articles for the specials may not be terrible per se. I understand that it's still not ideal by any means, but we're already running standalone tables on articles like Doctor Who specials (2023) where there's only one supplemental episode, or three tables already exist on Doctor Who series 2, so these articles wouldn't look that different. I assume we'd also break out an additional table on series 6 and 7 (over and above the specials) for parts 1 and 2.
We would just need to decide 1) where to place the new tables (chronological would make some sense, but for articles with multiple specials (series 7, 10), one special would be out of place if we put both specials in the same table, so one option would be to just default to below the series itself since it's a special outside of said series); and 2) how to handle transclusions to the episode list (whether it simply be additional subheaders or coming up with some convoluted method using noinclude/includeonly/onlyinclude tags to force the separated tables to join themselves back together on the list).

Another question with Template:Television ratings graph
Seems like I'm becoming a regular visitor here lately
I was hoping to add a television ratings graph to List of Station 19 episodes. Unfortunately it's five episodes over the limit, so I split in into two. |legend= allows you to change what's displayed in the table but the graph remains the same. This is a problem particularly for the later seasons where the graph still says "Season 1"/"Season 2"/Season 3" when it's actually supposed to represent 5/6/7. Could the template potentially be updated to also allow the legend parameter to change what's listed in the graph itself (or alternatively just let you start with say |color5= without throwing an error)?

Coding question, if you may know
Hey Alex. When using conditional parser functions (such as {{#:if}}) is there a good way to include line breaks returns in the true/false sections, particularly if you're trying to have the parameters return wikitable code that relies on such breaks? I've read that the parser functions strip the new lines so I tried using br tags in something I'm working, which seemed to be largely ok. However, I came across an issue that said br tag was being considered as an additional list item for a cell adding unintended white space. Thanks for any insight. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:17, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yep! Don't use the parser function, use the equivalent template, so {{if}}, as it does not strip spaces and newlines. Here's an example:
{{If||x|a
b
c || d
e
f}}
And it produces: a
b
c
- Let me know if that works! -- Alex_21 TALK 01:51, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I can't seem to get that template to function as I intend to. I seem to have followed your example. This is what I'm looking for it to render:
{{If||{{{1|}}}|<!-- True -->
{{!-}}
{{!}} scope="row" style="text-align:right; border-style: dotted; padding-left:20px;" {{!}} {{{year|}}}
{{!}} style="background:#000000; text-align:right; border:1px solid white;" {{!}}
{{!}} style="border:none; padding-right:20px;" {{!}} {{{1|}}} | <!-- Else -->}}
- It doesn't seem to be hitting the true part. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:58, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- The specific error I'm trying to solve can be seen in my sandbox User:Favre1fan93/sandbox/9 with the row for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which is using {{Indented plainlist}} and is causing an additional break to be added to that cell. Each row of the template is being generated from code in User:Favre1fan93/sandbox/8, which is where I was wondering if switching to {{if}} would help me. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:27, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Well, in User:Favre1fan93/sandbox/8, TRUE only runs if
|break=is set, right? There doesn't seem to be any such parameter in User:Favre1fan93/sandbox/9. Wouldn't the line break be coming from the line beneath the{{#if:{{{4_multiverse|}}} |line in sandbox 8? -- Alex_21 TALK 03:35, 7 February 2025 (UTC)- I spent a good amount of time yesterday looking at this and switching my code from the parser to the template, and yes, in the specific instance of
|break=and that portion of the code (which for ease I just replicated above with|1=), even if I called that parameter and set a value to it, the "TRUE" code would not run. I would expect the table code to just return as text, but that's not happening. I'm just getting nothing. The line break in question is with this: {{#if:{{{5|}}} |<br /> (I've bolded the break), which is just below the building of the fourth row of the group, should it exist. I think the template if would work if I could make it do what it should, but I can't seem to. I also have realized this code may be similar to what you did years ago with {{Series overview/row}} before it was made a module, or that this whole thing is likely much better as a module, but I don't have the Lua knowledge set to make that happen so I'm trying to go forward with wikicode. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:09, 7 February 2025 (UTC)- I'm the worst at responding...

- @Alex 21: sorry, just seeing your response as well. Not necessarily. You can see at Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline#Timeline there is an extra line space return under Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. In addition to that issue I'm trying to solve, if one were to call the row content like this:
- I'm the worst at responding... Just confirming it's all working at {{Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline}} now? -- Alex_21 TALK 06:41, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- I spent a good amount of time yesterday looking at this and switching my code from the parser to the template, and yes, in the specific instance of
- Well, in User:Favre1fan93/sandbox/8, TRUE only runs if
{{Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline/row|span=3|year=2010
| project A
| project B
| project C
}}
- instead of:
{{Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline/row|span=3|year=2010|project A|project B|project C}}
- that first version also creates issues with line breaks and formatting. I've been trying to play around now in {{Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline/row/sandbox}} trying {{if}} again and even trying a single set of { } within the parser if true statement by the {{!}} code (which seemed to maybe be helpful?), but I for the life of me can't figure out what else to do. If you have any time (and by no means feel obligated to do so) and want to look, I'd be grateful. I probably was going to make a post at WP:VPT at some point to see if someone can help. Or convert it to Lua which very likely is the way to go about all this. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:45, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- So, testing it out, the issue is definitely the line break. When the line break is after a standard non-wrapped line, it doesn't show visible whitespace. When it's after the indented plainlist, it does, as that particular entry is surrounded by a div, which is a break in itself, so we're double-breaking the content. Implementing a check to add the break only if the previous is not an indented plainlist seems to be the way to go - I'll do some more dabbling and see if that's an option.
- I'm very curious about the second issue, as to why whitespace within a template is causing output whitespace, this isn't a standard issue. I'll let you know if I find anything; glad to know it's semi working in the meantime. -- Alex_21 TALK 23:42, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- I appreciate the examination! I'm going to be offline for a few days, but yes, currently all is working if things are presented in a certain way so no major bugs or page breaking issues. I will be curious if you figure anything out. Also very open to recoding the whole thing if there's a better way to go about what I'm trying to accomplish. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:41, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, so I've fixed the first issue! The code must include a line break using
<br />; however, if the previous entry is an indented plainlist, that line break tag is set to not display, this now prevents the double line-break from the indented<div>...</div>element. -- Alex_21 TALK 03:53, 20 February 2025 (UTC) - Second issue fixed! See the code layout at User:Alex 21/sandbox2 - simply needed to {{trim}} the whitespace out of each displayed entry. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:16, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

- Thanks! Took some trial and error (outside the few snags I brought to you), but I thought it came out quite well to do what was needed. I'm just assuming, given the essentially looping nature of the coding, that Lua would be beneficial. Do you agree, or am I off base? If so, yeah, a future, very bottom of the priority list project to go that route should you choose to want to do that. And then I think it'd be easier to modify it in the future, for example if we'd ever need to span the multiverse color cells. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:09, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Accessibility Issue with Template:Series Overview

You can see the drive-by comment about the correct scope being rowgroup here and the relevant usage of {{Series overview}} at List of Stranger Things episodes.

Query
Hello, Alex21,
I saw that you were the last editor to edit American Satan (franchise) which I stumbled upon. My question is can this unsuccessful movie and a TV series really be considered a "franchise"? What do you think of merging this back to the original movie? This seems like a stretch. Let me know what you think. If there is a better place to ask this question but I don't think many editors have this film watchlisted and wouldn't see a talk page message. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:19, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @Liz. From what I'm looking at in the article, I definitely wouldn't consider it a franchise; it's one or two sequels at best. Looking at how it was created, I see that it was made by an editor I've come across before who has a history of mass-creating franchise articles. It's definitely something I would recommend be merged back into the original article (i.e. the movie). -- Alex_21 TALK 20:20, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Robot Revolution Poster
Looks like we may have two options for images this year. This one would be closer to what we did for series 14 but this one would definitely be a far more identifiable poster. Just wanted to point them both out in case you hadn't seen them.

Edit warring over genres in lead
First, both of you need to stop edit warring. You are both very close to being blocked. Another thing which isn't helping is that you are reverting without explaining the reason for your edits. Long before this point, you should be using talk pages to discuss the disagreement with the other editor (because the other user is an IP editor, it can help to use their talk page or at least leave them a link to any article talk page discussions). And that doesn't mean leaving them multiple vandalism warnings. Overall, this is pretty bitey stuff so it's not surprising that you're being reverted in return. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Daniel Quinlan Thanks for this post. Concerning
you should be using talk pages to discuss the disagreement with the other editor (because the other user is an IP editor, it can help to use their talk page [...])
I'm sure that you checked the relevant contributions and that you're aware that I did exactly that. Check their talk page history, and you'll see the detailed posts and quoting of relevant guidelines. Thus, given their clear WP:NOTHERE behaviour, I reverted the evident vandalism across a multitude of articles. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:30, 17 May 2025 (UTC)- You're right that you did eventually engage on the talk page and I appreciate you participating in that discussion. That said, the conversation was actually started by a third editor and not as a result of your warnings or reverts. It's still concerning that you made a large number of reverts using default edit summaries without explaining your reasoning and you left vandalism warnings even though this appears to be a dispute involving an area of the MOS that often causes friction. That kind of approach comes across as bitey especially toward less experienced editors and can make it more likely that things escalate into an edit war. Going forward, please try to use edit summaries that explain your changes and try to assume good faith in talk page comments when there's room to do that. Thank you. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:57, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- I see where you're coming from, but as another editor stated, defending the encyclopedia and getting a bad rapport from others truly is a thankless task. I will continue to revert evident vandalism (i.e. where an editor has a direct intent to disrupt articles for their own personal agenda) as needed. No further replies are necessary here. Thank you for your work. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:01, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

script-plotlength.js
Hi Alex, hope you're well. I've noticed just now that your User:Alex 21/script-plotlength.js script compares the length the length of plot summaries in TV episodes to WP:FILMPLOT (or at least it says "The main plot summary is sufficiently short per WP:FILMPLOT"). I don't think you've made any changes to the script any time soon (nor have any changes been made to Template:Infobox television episode), but I'm sure this wasn't the case a couple months ago, so unfortunately I have no idea where this bug has come from. I notice the documentation doesn't imply that the 400 word limit is ever checked against (except for double episodes in season articles), but I can clearly see the code is meant to check against it. Thanks --TedEdwards 00:19, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm, yes I see the issue! Line 19 of the code determines whether it's film or television, and apparently when I created the code in 2016, television episode articles still used colour in their infoboxes, and that was how I determined what type of article it was. Let's see how I can change it up. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:42, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

Draftification of A Court of Thorns and Roses (novel)
Hi there @Alex 21!
I see that you've turned my article on A Court of Thorns and Roses into a draft, but your edit summary isn't very informative: "Please expand upon properly". The article cites a couple of reviews, which demonstrates that the topic is notable, and it contains an accurate summary of the novel, within the word-count guidelines. I recognise that much more could be said about this novel, but why not mark the article as a stub if you're concerned that it needs expanding, rather than removing it from the mainspace? What, in your view, does a Wikipedia article about a novel need to do to be accepted in the mainspace?
Thanks! Alarichall (talk) 18:49, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Alarichall Two reviews an article does not make, especially when the only other addition is an in-universe plot summary. You are welcome to read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels for further detailing on how to create an article for a novel (perhaps some detail on background, production, release history, themes, etc/), as well as peruse Wikipedia:Notability (books) for notability. Here are 800+ articles that concern novels and are listed as good articles, if you want to have a look at what they include. Hope that helps! -- Alex_21 TALK 00:49, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the pointer. Still, I'd encourage you to be less heavy-handed in future. If an article is incomplete but on a notable subject then I'd suggest you tag it as a stub: we don't go around Wikipedia removing articles from the mainspace just because they don't do everything that they could or because they don't meet GA standards. Alarichall (talk) 01:29, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Alarichall Thank you for your opinion. I will continue to draftify articles that are not at an article level, and continue to mark articles as stubs when they are at a stub level. Cheers! -- Alex_21 TALK 08:09, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

If an article is incomplete but on a notable subject then I'd suggest you tag it as a stub: we don't go around Wikipedia removing articles from the mainspace just because they don't do everything that they could or because they don't meet GA standards.

Sean Patrick Thomas Gen V
Hi Alex, I know it was probably my mistake, but Entertainment Weekly reported in its Comic-Con and Gen V trailer article that Sean Patrick Thomas had been promoted to a lead role for the second season. Should I provide a source to corroborate the promotion? Thanks in advance. Marco camino 10 (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Marco camino 10 New main cast shouldn't be added to the cast list until they are credited so (as we're just giving them an arbitrary order at this point), but they can absolutely be added to the Casting section in the prose with a source. Hope that makes sense! -- Alex_21 TALK 23:28, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Co-producer Disney
"Disney" is a conglomerate and head of the former Fox, Hulu, Marvel, Lucasfilm, much of National Geographic, and so on, so what exactly is the Disney studio or production company making Doctor Who with BBC Studios and Bad Wolf? Disney Branded Television? Disney+ itself? I'm a reasonable defender of RTD, but I'm not going to argue he's never misspoken or contradicted either. (This is the only citation I could find any such comment among various Doctor Who related pages on Wikipedia that use any wording like co-production). Can't find any post-distribution-deal discussion or consensus since October 2022 on Talk:List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present). I see a discussion, but found very little if any consensus on Talk:Doctor Who series 14 and Talk:Doctor Who specials (2023). An unclear unlinked to trailer mentioned by Simon Cursitor. You yourself seeming to go no it's not in December 2023 and January 2024 and then yes it is in May 2024. Additionally, as per my edit reason "not in the sources". Sources 1 and 2 in the relevant paragraph do not use the word Disney. At all. Number 2 is the night of The Power of the Doctor's broadcast, and not even Disney+ is referred to yet. TardisTybort (talk) 00:39, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
- @TardisTybort The discussion you're looking for is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who/Archive 34#Time to change the infobox "original network" parameters per the closing logos at last, in which an RFC was held, and a multitude of long-reliable sources provided calling Disney a co-producer. -- Alex_21 TALK 01:10, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

Photos
Hi Alex, I'm writing about the photos. I already know how to add photos in their correct size without any problem, but when I search for an episode in the search engine, some photos appear that wouldn't normally appear. Did I do something wrong, or will this change automatically? All the photos I've added these days are for Dexter series. Thanks. Marco camino 10 (talk) 13:41, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

The Boys season 5 episode titles
Hi @Alex 21:, I'm wondering if this link: https://www.tvtime.com/es/show/355567, is reliable to add the title names on The Boys season 5 Marco camino 10 (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
- I would not classify that as a reliable source, as it has no editorial back-end. -- Alex_21 TALK 00:10, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Alex 21:, I don't understand what's going on with The Boys titles. The source posted by the user didn't even lead to The Boys credits, and when you go to The Boys data, there are no episode titles. So, if you're going to add a source, wouldn't the one I posted here be better? I've deleted the information until I clarify this. Thanks. Marco camino 10 (talk) 12:15, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- You are confusing the link I'm sourcing (a database of WGA covered projects) with a different site that just contains the episode credits/writers for the new season. I am NOT citing the link you claim I am. I am linking the DATABASE, which shows the titles of the upcoming edits. STOP edit warring and actually LOOK AT THE SOURCES PROVIDED before reverting. THANK YOU. IzzySwag (talk) 16:00, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Are you now able to see that these are DIFFERENT WEBSITES? IzzySwag (talk) 16:02, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Marco camino 10 Izzy is correct about this. There are multiple databases for WGA, for covered projects, and specific entries for shows. Both are acceptable. We typically use the latter for writing credits. The only difference is, is that you need to search for The Boys in the former database; that still makes it an acceptable source. -- Alex_21 TALK 21:38, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Stranger things season 5 co-edit
Hi Alex 21, I'd like to offer to co-edit Stranger things season 5 with you as the season enters its premiere state. I believe that I can make a number of contributions to the article which are related to the deeper lore and overall premise/summary sections of the season in addition to the episode summaries.
Hoping you will say yes, I think we can co-operate and make a really great article. (to that end I am largely suggesting that I will create a number of additions potentially on the talk page for inclusion before making direct edits as it will be a large/impactful article for the next few months.)
Let me know, hoping to "cut my teeth" with a bigger article here on Wiki! :) Strongwranglers (talk) 08:18, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Strongwranglers Thanks for your message.
- Wikipedia doesn't have any sort of co-editing scheme. It's a free for all - as long as everyone here abides by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, anyone is free to edit and contribute. So please do, make any edits that provide deeper information, as long as it is all sourced.
- Happy editing.

Regarding Talk:Wok Is Dead discussion
Hey, I want to be clear, I'm not trying to attack any views – the phrase "expect compliance" made me realize I may be coming across harshly, but I'm simply trying to offer my stance, which I recognize is different from others. If I came across as rude at any point, I apologize. RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:22, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
- @RunningTiger123 Yeah sorry mate, me too. I've been told I come across very "bitey", which is never intentional, and then we all realize it's words over the internet we've just taken the wrong way. In the same way, I apologize as well. Here's to a productive discussion.

NCTVEP
In case you missed it: Multiple reviews or other reliable, independent, non-trivial commentary demonstrate notability for a television episode. It is preferred (i.e. not a requirement) to have reliable sources discussing production aspects of the episode in question, such as its development and writing; the casting of specific actors; design elements; filming or animation; post-production work; or music, rather than simply recounting the plot.
In any circumstance claim that something is "not notable" without providing evidence of lack of notability, and re-adding a tag that had previously been removed twice, is disruptive. The next step is called AFD. Please, take it to AFD if you believe the article is not notable. Regards. (CC) Tbhotch™ 03:41, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Tbhotch There is an active discussion to mass-nominate many South Park episodes to AFD, I am already aware of the idea, thank you. It is interesting in that you cannot any content related to production, and base your entire argument off of just reception, when most of those are merely plot recaps. Please be aware that the disruptive behaviour of removing a tag without discussion or improvement has also been noted. Regards. -- Alex_21 TALK 04:05, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- A local discussion that doesn't revolve around the subsequent events that occurred to Got a Nut itself. And no, it is disruptive to re-add a tag as you are the sole person claiming it is not notable. Once again, you can continue this discussion at the respective AFDs for Sickofancy and Got a Nut. (CC) Tbhotch™ 04:07, 12 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Tbhotch The discussion regards all South Park episodes, no matter the location of the talk page. Do not remove the notability tags added/restored by multiple editors (try to make sure you're aware of the situation properly before making claims) until the issue is clearly resolved. The discussion will indeed be located at the mass-AFD for South Park articles - no further response is required here. -- Alex_21 TALK 04:31, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Just because a subject meets basic notability requirements does not mean that the best way to cover it is a standalone article, if there is consensus that the same content can be more appropriately covered as part of a different article. That is what NCTVEP is all about: some TV episodes meet basic GNG standards, but don't meet the community's requirements for being covered separately from an existing season or series article. - adamstom97 (talk) 07:48, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

- @HiGuys69420 The consensus is for that article, not every article related to WandaVision. Using the last name is the standard across all articles. Whether it's DCU or MCU is irrelevant. Do you understand that? -- Alex_21 TALK 03:30, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker) Guy, it does NOT matter what other articles do. The local consensus for MCU articles outlined at WP:MCUSURNAMES should always be followed unless there is a rare exception, which the WandaVision RFC is. As Alex said, that RFC is only for that article, and not to be interpreted unilaterally for all other articles, especially ones not related to it. You have already been told your proposed change to this last name basis have been contested at WT:MCU, yet you are openly ignoring the present consensus in favor of your own opinion. This is disruptive and it needs to stop. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 05:16, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Hey Alex,
Just letting you know I understand your reasoning for the Peacemaker article revert after reading the WP you mentioned.

Color on the episodes templates per poster
Hi Alex, I'm writing to ask if you could explain how your tool works to determine the color to use, as you do in the articles based on the poster, because I sometimes have trouble finding an exact color and sometimes I can't find it at all. Marco camino 10 (talk) 19:18, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

- Hi Alex, the first tool is easy to use, but the second one, for checking the compliancy, if the first tool shows me several colors, isn't there an option to put them all on the second tool, or which two colors should I select? And another thing is, when the predominant color is selected in the first tool, do I just use its code as is, or do I need to do something else? Marco camino 10 (talk) 13:32, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

South Park The Streaming Wars Part 2
If you have a second...
No rush, but could you do a new batch update to User:Alex 21/sandbox/No episode table by the end of the year? With the bot run of adding {{Convert to Episode table}} a few months back, I have a feeling a good number of these could be removed, but we also might find new cases. I also am finding your page more helpful than just going through articles in Category:Articles lacking Episode table templates because that seems to be including some articles that need a full scale switch to {{Episode table}} and {{Episode list}}, where as your page is just looking at what already uses Episode list but not table. Thanks! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:51, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

Non free photos
Hi Alex, I am writing to you because the user Victor starr03 is massively uploading copyrighted photos as if they were royalty-free and adding them to articles, even removing photos that have already been correctly posted. I am letting you know in case you could remove these photos, as I don't know how to do it myself. Thank you. Marco camino 10 (talk) 16:14, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) @Marco camino 10: The old photos can be restored, and the ones uploaded that are non-free can be nominated for deletion. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:08, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
Edit at The War Between the Land and the Sea
Hi Alex
I do not have a problem with you partially reverting my edit here, and I am not wedded to having {{#ifexpr:{{#time:U|now}} < {{#time:U|2025-12-21 20:05:00}}|4|5}} in the source text, but I would appreciate understanding of the specific issue or issues you have with it, whether that be an error in it, it being unhelpful or whatever, since you didn't leave an edit summary. Thanks :) --TedEdwards 17:42, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry for the lack of comment. There's no need for automatic updating values, and there's never been a consensus about including automatic time-based expressions. There is no deadline for updating content, and it makes for awkward and uncomfortable formatting for editors unfamiliar with the expression code. We've managed to update the values to 2 and 4 within the past two weeks within a satisfactory timeframe, I'm sure we can trust editors to update it properly again next week. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:20, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
Doctor Who season 21 image
I want to let you know that the new blu-ray box set image is still showing the Warriors of the Deep DVD cover image on google crome. Could you please fix this, so that the season 21 blu-ray box set image appears on all web browsers. Thank you.~2025-42018-09 (talk) 14:27, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) different images are not shown on different browsers. If your chrome is showing an older image, that is likely a caching issue. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:14, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
- At Doctor Who season 21? I only see the Blu-Ray box set, so Adam's likely right in that it's just a caching issue - clear your cache by using CTRL + SHIFT + R. I have also moved the file to File:Doctor Who Season 21 Blu-ray.jpg (rather than DVD), so that may also force a cache fix. -- Alex_21 TALK 23:05, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

MOS:TVCAST case
Hey, if I'm not wrong I remember you had much input in shaping the current MOS:TVCAST section so I thought this discussion might benefit your input (an edit war has already started sadly..) Talk:Heated_Rivalry#CAST_LIST TheVampire (talk) 20:24, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
Autopatrolled granted

Hi Alex 21, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! voorts (talk/contributions) 21:44, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
