Simpsons season 36 issue

I am trying to mediate a dispute at DRN concerning The Simpsons season 36. There were four episodes which were broadcast on Disney+ rather than the usual network coverage on Fox. The question has to do with the formatting of the table of episodes, and whether the Disney episodes should be listed separately in the table of episodes, or whether they should be listed in chronological sequence along with the regular episodes.

Thank you for any guidance. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:45, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

I immediately thought of the Bionic Woman which changed networks in season 3. Agree with Bionic Woman formatting ... just continue the list without special mention of Disney +.Phatblackmama (talk) 02:08, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

I agree that the episodes should be listed in chronological sequence along with the regular episodes. I think to List of South Park episodes, which includes special releases on another network to the main series. While those particular episodes are specials and not released/aired during the airing of any particular season, they are still listed chronologically, rather than grouped together outside of the main series in some separate specials section. -- Alex_21 _TALK 23:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon Pinging you, in case you din't see this. Cheers. -- Alex_21 _TALK 23:49, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

To be fair, the South Park episodes are both listed chronologically and grouped together outside the main series (even in a separate table in their case), which is possible due to their airdates. U-Mos (talk) 16:05, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Disney+ episodes are regulars, nothing to doing, everything is fine. Lado85 (talk) 05:13, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Obviously everything is not fine, else you wouldn't be at DRN. Please keep dispute comments at DRN; I was simply providing an opinion here. -- Alex_21 _TALK 06:45, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

That's fair. Even if they were aired during a season, I'd recommend keep it chronological in the table, and maybe set the episode number (within the season) as "–", much like how we do it with Doctor Who specials (e.g. "The Snowmen"). Would that be an acceptable compromise? -- Alex_21 _TALK 07:01, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

They have regular episodes numbers, overall and in season. This episodes are in-season specials like Treehouse of Horror. Only difference is broadcast network. I think in season number can be changed as "–", but not overall. Lado85 (talk) 08:00, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

"Treehouse of Horror" are Halloween-themed episodes, not special releases. Special releases constitute non-regular/non-season episodes, such as Christmas specials in Doctor Who or the Paramount+ episodes in South Park. Keeping the overall numbers but blanking the season numbers would be in form with the two examples given. -- Alex_21 _TALK 21:44, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

End dates in television infobox

I've noticed there has been an update to {{End date}}, in that we cannot use {{End date|present}} in {{Infobox television}} or {{Infobox television season}} anymore. This is the edit being performed, to prevent this error (scroll down to the bottom of the infobox). This is likely fixable with AWB. -- Alex_21 _TALK 01:01, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Category:Videographies has been nominated for discussion

Category:Videographies, which is within the scope of this WikiProject, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether it complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

There is concern that the category name uses an invented neologism that isn't used outside Wikipedia and doesn't reflect the scope of the article Videography. Apparently, various articles with the name were also moved by the nominator without any discussion. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:48, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Listing cast playing same characters in Cast section.

Hi! What is the preferred way to list the cast if an actor replace other actor in a long running television series. For example Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Sid95Q (talk) 14:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

I prefer to do something like "[Actor 1] (season #s) and [Actor 2] (season #s) as [Character]". If there for some reason are more than one replacement, then "[Actor 1] (season #s), [Actors 2] (season #s), and [Actor 3] (season #s) as [Character]" etc. If season's aren't a good indicator of when an actor was in the role, year of release would also work. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

A great example showing the above would be The Crown (TV series). -- Alex_21 _TALK 20:12, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

✅: I support Favre1fan93 format as it clearly indicates who played the role and when, using years instead of seasons for Indian shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. It ensures clarity, avoids ambiguity, and aligns with Wikipedia practices, as seen in The Crown (TV series). Tenshi Uisu (talk) 00:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Is the use of "/" ok? Like used in the above mentioned page Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. There have been several discussions in past to avoid these Like here you can read paragraph "Ambiguous slashes" in "Examples" section. Sid95Q (talk) 09:44, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

The problem in that example isn’t the slashes but the excessive, confusing information crammed into one line. When used properly, slashes offer a clear, concise way to indicate role replacements without unnecessary repetition. Instead of bloated cast lists repeating character names, a simple Actor A / Actor B along with years format efficiently communicates that one actor replaced another.

Wikipedia’s editorial guidelines would have explicitly prohibited them. WP:TVCAST prioritizes clarity, but it doesn’t forbid slashes when they enhance readability.

At the end of the day, it’s about balance. Tenshi Uisu (talk) 17:12, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tenshi Uisu: I don't think the edits you made provide any clarity. That's why I am here to take suggestions from uninvolved editors. Thanks Sid95Q (talk) 17:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
