The Babysitter

Why does it matter though? Plot summaries usually refer to the characters by their full names when first introduced. It doesn't get in the way and doesn't disrupt the flow of the article either.Futuremoviewriter (talk) 19:44, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Erasure

I'm not interested in edit warring. If you are indeed not interested in erasing trans actor community connections, perhaps reconsider your deletionist approach. Lastchapter (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Talk order

I noticed you changed the positioning of the Talk Can Eng template on a few pages where I had added it. It's not a big deal but I want to bring WP:TALKORDER to your attention. The language template goes above the banner shell, not under it. Thanks! Masterhatch (talk) 23:10, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Oh sorry... wasn't aware. Seems weird to me but I'll keep that in mind going forward. —Joeyconnick (talk) 02:31, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I agree it does seem weird. I used to put it below the banner shell too until I ran across that page. Masterhatch (talk) 03:13, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate you letting me know in a non-judgmental way! I will try to emulate that next time I point out guidelines to someone. —Joeyconnick (talk) 04:21, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Trout

 Self-trout My bad; I wasn't thinking. ToThAc (talk) 17:41, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

No worries... I double- and tripled-checked before I re-reverted just to be sure the pages were showing up in the expected places. With some of the district articles going by "Regional District of X" rather than "X Regional District", it makes sense it can get confusing. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:11, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Scream 5 Infobox

Ahhh, I see. I had to find a clearer full size resolution on eBay. That's so annoying that on one entry, they only list half of the cast, while they list practically the entire cast on the sequel lol. But it makes sense I guess; Gallner was a cameo, Brown was unknown, but Minnette was well-known though so that was strange. Madison was pre-Anora, so who knew the psycho chick on fire would win the Oscar?! Love it.

Ulrich was a shock omission, but they probably wanted his appearance to be a secret/surprise until you saw the movie. Alas, they're in the cast section, so that's all that matters. So cast section = credits order, while infobox = stick to either billed above title or just billed on the poster period, correct? --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 14:47, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Yeah it's a bit loosey-goosey... I think on some articles, they use the full end credits in the infobox but most I've seen follow the poster billing block and its order. And yeah it is annoying to track down a full-res version of the poster given how IMDb makes it so you have to inspect source, essentially, to see the posters at full resolution.

For the article cast section order vs. the infobox cast order: I myself usually steer clear of getting involved in article cast order battles for films because, unlike with TV shows (MOS:TVCAST), there are no clear rules. I've seen some follow the infobox (i.e. nearly always billing block) order and then add in the rest (probably in full credits order), which makes sense to me because then the two lists are consistent to a point and then the article list just has more entries.

Apparently one or more of the X-Men films have different cast orders in the start credits vs. the end credits, and so some people swear the end credits are definitive, but honestly sometimes there are two sets of end credits: the flashy decorative ones and then the more text-based ones that are usually more complete, and at that point, people are usually just arguing on an "I like it more" basis. I think there it was someone who insisted on putting Hugh Jackman quite high up because of his status in the industry now, conveniently neglecting the fact that for the first film, and arguably the second, he had a much lower profile than Stewart or McKellen. That was the fight that made me decide film cast order battles weren't worth it. 😂 —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:58, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
