Plotsum?

[edit]

I don't often contribute majorly to one given article, but I thought I would do so for this one. Most articles regarding movies have a plot summary and I don't know if that also goes for articles about shows. I was able to condense the important parts of the season into less than 400 words. This is what I have.

I didn't want it to go to waste, but I also didn't know if it was needed.

Let me know what you think. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤TalkContribs 02:55, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Diriector Doc: If it is what you have, why don't you contribute it? As long as it does not violate any Wikipedia policy, the content is fine.BradfordTalk 16:30, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

English/Spanish titles

[edit]

There has been a minor feud between me and Bradford over which titles would be displayed first; the English or the Spanish titles. So far, this setup has gone back and forth between English/Spanish and Spanish/English. I am bringing this issue to the talk pages to avoid potential edit warring, also because an edit summary limits me for words.

My thought behind this is this is the English wiki. It makes sense for the readers to have the English titles first and the Spanish title following. Bradford's point is, and I quote from his edit summary, "...according to the documentation, only the original title should prevail, which in this case is Spanish." Although I see his point, I still disagree with it. I don't have any other point than "it makes more sense for English to come first," but I do believe that point also justifies why it shouldn't be the other way around.

If something on Wikipedia is of poor structure, it should be changed. Don't get me wrong; I do not think that Bradford's edits are poor by any means. I would never say that about another person's work. While I do believe that Bradford has done some good things for this article, I feel as if this one edit slightly decreases the readability of the article. I don't see how, in this specific case, following "the documentation" increases the readability of the article. It's not like the documentation controls everything. Going against the documentation would follow WP:UCS.

I do not wish for this conflict to go any further. I have made my point as clear as I could. If there are still objection, please discuss. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤TalkContribs 21:20, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

The title to prevail is the original, on the other hand, the English titles have not been removed. The series is from Mexico, not the United States. If it were the other way around there would be no problem. But if we rely on the template documentation, nowhere does it include that translated titles should be added. This is something that you want to impose. And as I said before, the English titles have never been removed. It is something that has been done in several articles Elite (TV series)#Episodes and List of Money Heist episodes.BradfordTalk 21:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Put it this way. If you were to include only one title, which would it be? The Spanish titles? Of course not. The Spanish titles mean nothing to the English-speaking readers of the English Wikipedia. The English titles are still official titles, so if we are going by what you say, "...nowhere does it include that translated titles should be added," technically, the Spanish titles shouldn't be included at all. The Spanish titles are only there because the show itself is set in Spanish. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤TalkContribs 01:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
The series is a production in Spanish, therefore their titles in Spanish must prevail as original. Other pages like IMDb place titles in Spanish, not English. These titles are only translations.BradfordTalk 01:40, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
No matter what language we are in, their original titles should always predominate.BradfordTalk 01:45, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Unless I'm misreading the edit history, the WP:QUO was Title Original Spanish title, and Bradford should refrain from reinstating his BOLD change until consensus is reached... Leijurv (talk)

The titles in English are only translations of the original title. And at no time have they been eliminated, only their position has been changed. According to the Episode list documentation, the parameter is exclusive to its original title and is subsequently followed by ALTTitle, which is used to add another title, if the original was modified.BradfordTalk 03:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Nowhere does it way that the title parameter is exclusive to what kind of title it is. However, there is a section on Non-English titles. It clearly states per the provided example that English titles should be the |title= parameter and the original title should be the |NativeTitle= parameter. I didn't look at the documentation this closely until now, but it looks like both of us were using it wrong. If any edit should stick it should be this:
{{Episode list
| EpisodeNumber   = 1
| Title           = Birthday Girl
| NativeTitle     = La chica del cumpleaños
| NativeTitleLangCode = es
| DirectedBy      = Alejandro Lozano
| WrittenBy       = Adriana Pelusi
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2020|5|22|df=yes}}
| ShortSummary    = 
| LineColor       = 000000
}}
This actually works out in terms of a compromise; the documentation is followed as per your liking and the English title is first as per mine. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤TalkContribs 16:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
|TranslitTitle=, |NativeTitle= and |NativeTitleLangCode= used for anime series. For example List of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations episodes. @Diriector Doc: So undo that edit you made.BradfordTalk 17:03, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
It never specifies the type of show. The documentation say the use of |NativeTitle= is quote "To create an episode list which includes a native title and/or transliterated title." In no way does this at all imply that it is exclusive to anime. Control Z fits this criterion. --Diriector_Doc├─────┤TalkContribs 17:50, 3 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
