| :In the ] "&" is used to indicate a writing team, so if an episode's screenplay is credit to "Jim & Bob and Steve" it means that Jim and Bob worked together as a team to write the screenplay, and Steve also contributed to it but separately from Jim and Bob. It is standard procedure for film and TV articles to follow the official credits, especially when we are talking about the infobox or episode tables which are often being attributed to the film/episode itself by default rather than an inline citation. Following the official credits also helps avoid any arguments over the correct ordering/formatting of the names. If you are concerned you could start a discussion at ] and/or ] about adding a note to those MOSs about this. - ] (]) 02:46, 27 March 2022 (UTC) | |||

| Howdy. I see that you made . I don't think that's correct. There is no such verb "executive produces". It is not even grammatical. It should be "executively produces", as it needs to be an adverb characterizing a verb, and not an adjective. But nobody talks that way. | |||

| :I think "executively produces" changes the meaning, he is an "executive producer" not a producer who acts "executively". A Google search for "executive produces" shows that industry sources do use this wording. I can see why you find it strange but it has definitely not been an issue at any film or TV article I've worked on over the last 10 years or so. - ] (]) 21:52, 27 March 2022 (UTC) | |||
| ::I've found some instances of "executive produce" as a verb too, afterwards. Looks like slang and ungrammatical, and the Meriam Webster dictionary does not have this combination, so I would prefer "executive producer" which would be grammatically correct and in widespread use. Misplaced Pages should also aim for good and proper style. But given that this "executive produce" is not an obvious typo, I won't press the matter. ] (]) 21:59, 27 March 2022 (UTC) | |||

| The name field is a deprecated field in ] in that the name field used is handled by the name of the article. So currently it is sitting in a maintenance category, ], in which it states "The value includes an alternative title. Move the alternative title to |alt_name=." which is want I was doing and it kept Deadpool: The Animated Series in the infobox below the title while having the title match the name of the article. | |||
| If the name of the series was going to be Deadpool: The Animated Series and not an alternative title as your first reversion summary stated, then if sources show this, then you should start a ] to try and get it moved since it might prove controversial. Or if Deadpool is the common name from the sources as your second reversion summary stated, then the article should not be moved and the alt_name field should be used for Deadpool: The Animated Series as my edit suggested. ] (]) 04:09, 15 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
| :It is not a deprecated field, it is just not necessary now because of the auto-population. Though there is some support at ] for not changing existing articles that use this parameter, lets assume that it is fine to follow the instructions at the category page. That page does not state that this is an alternative title, it says that it could be an alternative title or it could also be incorrect, a native language name, or something that shouldn't be changed ("If the title is still different, leave it for now."). I believe the latter is the case for this article. The infobox should have the actual name for the series, which is "Deadpool: The Animated Series", and the article should be at the ] which is "Deadpool". If you feel so strongly about changing this then the correct next step would be to suggest a page move that ignores WP:COMMONTITLE and moves the article to "Deadpool: The Animated Series". - ] (]) 04:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
| ::You are expressing two contradicting views here. Either the infobox should have the actual name of the show, Deadpool: The Animated Series, and you should start a ] to get it moved or the article should be kept at the the common title, Deadpool, and the infobox should match this title with Deadpool: The Animated Series in the alt_field since it is an alternative name compared to the common title. Either way the infobox should match the article title. ] (]) 05:00, 15 April 2022 (UTC) | |||
| :::It is my experience that the infobox should have the actual name of the series and putting "Deadpool" with "Deadpool: The Animated Series" as an alternative title would suggest that both are official names for the show. But regardless, it sounds like the best option will be to move the page to "Deadpool: The Animated Series". - ] (]) 22:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC) | |||

Question
Hi! :) I and User:Rhain have been expanding List of most expensive television series. I was wonderining is it possible to link other television series articles to that page (like Andor (TV series), The Acolyte (TV series) etc) or should the page be expanded more? I'm asking because you edit and watch these pages and done tremendous work on them. Timur9008 (talk) 14:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- If there is a source specifically calling out a series as one of the most expensive ever then that can be included in the article and linked to the list, i.e.
the series had a budget of $X which made it one of the most expensive ever.
If not, a "See also" section could be added which links to the list. - adamstom97 (talk) 14:07, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
