Primary source for episode titles and release dates
[edit]Hello, I am not certain if it is correct tag the episode section of Voltes V: Legacy with Template:Third-party for something that involve cold facts such as episode titles and release date. It just happens that the episode information are not neatly collated in a single cite. Am I incorrect with my assessment, cause the whole point of third party sources is to combat bias or establish general notability for the article as a who;e.

"situation based comedy show"?
[edit]A recent edit to Honestly, Celeste! changed "situation comedy" to "situation based comedy show". Is that terminology preferred? I don't remember seeing it used before, and it seems a bit wordy. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:56, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Why not sitcom? DonIago (talk) 05:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that sitcom is a simpler way of saying the same thing and made the edit in the article. RunningTiger123 (talk) 17:52, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @Doniago and @RunningTiger123! Eddie Blick (talk) 19:59, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Television ratings graph
[edit]Hey all. I've updated {{Television ratings graph}} to use a different style of graphing, allowing ratings graphs to once again reappear. See the template documentation for a Game of Thrones examples. Please let me know if you've got any questions or concerns. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:29, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Amazing, thank you Alex 21! I know the overall "Graph" extension is (slowly) rolling out to a new "Chart" extension if that will be of any help in the future. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:09, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the work! I did notice that there's an error when there are more episodes (copied below from List of Modern Family episodes, also seen here):
- Unable to compile EasyTimeline input:
EasyTimeline 1.90
Timeline generation failed: 1 error found
- Maximum image size is 1600x2000 pixels = 16x20 inch
Run with option -b (bypass checks) when this is correct. - Personally, I'll take a few errors over all of them being blank; we can comment out the faulty lists for now if we don't want readers seeing them. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Too many episodes. Ratings graphs shouldn't be used for a series of 250 episodes; the module figures out the lowest possible column width, and it's still too much to a fit a quarter-thousand of them in. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:15, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Do we know what the limit is? Might be good to note it in the documentation so editors can either split the template into multiple groups of episodes or omit it entirely over a certain size. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Let me dabble with some examples and I'll figure it out! -- Alex_21 TALK 22:33, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Technically, the limit is 112 bars. However, I recommend a maximum of 99, else the numbers start overlapping like this. -- Alex_21 TALK 22:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Probably easiest to just say 100 (looks like 99 and 100 wouldn't overlap, just 100 and 101). RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:55, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Done The template will now display "Too many episodes to display graph (maximum 100)", and adds the article to Category:Articles using Template:Television ratings graph with excessive figures. -- Alex_21 TALK 01:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy articles
[edit]I have started a discussion at Talk:Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (TV series)#Possible move regarding several similarly titled articles and some recent undiscussed moves for them.
