Template-protected edit request on 19 January 2015

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The template directs readers to the "Animated films task force", whereas the title of that entity is the "Animated films work group" --LukeSurl^{t c} 14:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. I'm pretty sure I can guess what your X to Y is, but I want to be sure because if it is what I think it is, then I'd have to decline this request. "task force" is consistent and the link takes you to popflock.com Resource: WikiProject Animation/Animated films work group via a redirect that was created by Fortdj33 apparently for that reason. Such a redirect would seem to fall under WP:NOTBROKEN to me. -- 17:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Change the template so it displays, when Animated=yes, "Animated films work group" rather than "Animated films task force" because this is the name of the actual page. It also makes the template display the same as Template:WikiProject Animation which uses the correct term. Currently talk pages such as Talk:Foodfight! which implement both templates give the impression there are two different groups - it looks like People's Front of Judea vs.Judean People's Front type situation. --LukeSurl^{t c} 19:04, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Required code in the /sandbox. I can't think of any reasons not to do this. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:27, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

The difference between "task force" and "work group", is because the article falls under the scope of more than one WikiProject. For example, if I pick a random article from the "Indian cinema task force", such as Talk:Jeevitham (1984 film), it shows up under the {{WikiProject India}} banner as part of the "Indian cinema workgroup". Similarly, a random article from the "Comic book films task force", such as Talk:The Fantastic Four (2015 film), shows up under the {{WikiProject Comics}} banner as part of the "Comic book films work group". I understand the good faith effort on the part of LukeSurl, but this is simply not a problem that needs to be fixed. Fortdj33 (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

It seems that Indian cinema and Comic book films are actually task forces of WP:FILM whereas animated films is a work group of WP:ANIMATION. Would it not make sense to call them by their actual names? (And those other two banners could be adjusted to reflect that.) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:23, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I would say that they already are being called by their proper names, within the context of their parent projects. All of them are referred to as "task forces" by {{WikiProject Film}}, and all of them are referred to as "work groups" by their respective secondary projects. Just because the Animated films task force started as a work group of WP:ANIMATION, is no reason to make all the other joint task forces conform to it. As Technical 13 points out, if it's WP:NOTBROKEN, why fix it? Fortdj33 (talk) 01:49, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

As a creator of this work group, I would have no problem with that, but not likely right now since this a work group WP:ANIMATION. JJ98 (Talk) 09:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Future-class

Can this template be edited to enable assessing articles as being Future-class? I'm not sure how exactly it works but it'd be useful for this one, to tag upcoming films. See Template:WikiProject Albums & Category:Future-Class_Album_articles. -- Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 06:58, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes it could, but you would need to discuss this kind of change with the WikiProject first. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:19, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Jeraphine. We used to have Future-Class but removed it because we found the other classes (Stub, Start, C) sufficient. My approach has been that an article cannot be B-class until the film has been released, meaning both reviews and box office content. If you'd like to request bringing it back, you can start a discussion at WT:FILM. For what it's worth, Category:Upcoming films can be used to identify articles about upcoming films, which is more direct than going through talk pages. Erik II (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 12:41, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey thanks. If it's already been done and undone then I'm not gonna push it. I was just wondering. -- Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 13:26, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

No problem! :) Erik II (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:32, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Task force counting error

For some reason, the Mexican task force articles aren't counted in Category:WikiProject Film task force usage. See Talk:¡Viva México! (El grito de Dolores) which puts it in Category:Film articles with no associated task forces. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

This edit has fixed it. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Casting consensus discussion

Listen up, everyone. Deathawk started a discussion on casting sections in movies on the Wikifilm talk page like a week ago and it has been mostly forgotten. Everyone on it might want to take a look and continue with it's discussion so we can set up a consensus about it. The discussion is located here. So go there so we can reach an consensus.

Korean cinema icon

I've made a proposal to change the icon for the Korean cinema task force: please place any comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Korean cinema task force#New task force icon. If no-one objects I will make the change in about a week or so. PC78 (talk) 12:12, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Parameters for Pakistani cinema task force

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

A group of Wikipedians has recently started a Pakistani cinema task force working under the Film WikiProject. We would really appreciate it if the quality and assessment parameters for our project could be added into Template:WikiProject Film (like other projects), so that we can commence article ratings. Cheers! Pinging @PC78: (or anyone else who is able to edit it). Mar4d (talk) 08:36, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

The icon to be used for the task force is File:Pakistanfilm.png. Mar4d (talk) 08:42, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Where is the discussion that led to this task force being created? I don't see anything at WT:FILM or WT:PAK. PC78 (talk) 13:38, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

@PC78: It was a personal initiative, brought about after receiving a positive response here and here. There are a handful of other active editors in the topic area also. Mar4d (talk) 15:05, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} template. Please start a discussion at WT:FILM. -- JJMC89 (T·C) 15:23, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

@JJMC89: Sorry, could you clarify the above? Unless I have missed something, consensus for the task force was formed between the current members. Do you mean to say it needs to be reviewed at WT:FILM before further activity can place? Mar4d (talk) 15:43, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Creating the task force is one thing. There needs to be consensus from WP:FILM to add the task force to the template. -- JJMC89 (T·C) 16:09, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I think the usual protocol is to discuss with the relevant WikiProject before setting up a new task force. I can't see it being a problem as you have a number of interested users, but I'll raise it at WT:FILM to give others an opportunity to comment. PC78 (talk) 16:12, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying this, no worries. I can see why that is a requirement, and should've thought about this earlier. Will cooperate in that regard. Cheers, Mar4d (talk) 16:55, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 Done The parameter should now be working. I've created some categories and tagged a few articles just to get you started. PC78 (talk) 07:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please be so kind and add "Venezuelan cinema task force" to the available options. The parameters can be Venezuelan-cinema-task-force=yes or Venezuelan=yes. There is a Category:Venezuelan cinema task force articles which is so far empty. Best regards from a participant. Fadesga (talk) 22:41, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Does it have a home page? Like these: the American cinema task force; the Argentine cinema task force; the Australian cinema task force; the Baltic cinema task force; the British cinema task force; the Canadian cinema task force; the Chinese cinema task force; the French cinema task force; the German cinema task force; the Indian cinema task force; the Italian cinema task force; the Japanese cinema task force; the Korean cinema task force; the Mexican cinema task force; the New Zealand cinema task force; the Nordic cinema task force; the Pakistani cinema task force; the Persian cinema task force; the Southeast Asian cinema task force; the Soviet and post-Soviet cinema task force; the Spanish cinema task force. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:08, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

@Redrose64: Brand new but created before this request: popflock.com Resource: WikiProject Venezuela/Venezuelan cinema task force ~ Amory (u o t o c) 12:20, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

OK, I note that unlike all those listed above, it's not a subpage of popflock.com Resource: WikiProject Film, so do you have the consensus of WikiProject Film to add a taskforce of WikiProject Venezuela into the Film banner? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:21, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

 Not done for now: Please request consensus at WT:FILM for this change. Izno (talk) 20:00, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
