== ST5 Episode Titles ==
I've been looking at this article, and I was wondering if you knew what defined a character as starring or recurring/guest for the classic series, considering the opening titles did not list any actors? ]] 21:34, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
:{{U|TedEdwards}}, I think the universally accepted rule for what defines a recurring character is that they should have made at least four appearances in a single season. Any amount lower than that makes them a guest character. --<span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">] ] </span> 04:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
::It varies depending upon the season and the series; four episodes out of the upcoming Series 11's 10 episodes is far different to four episodes in Season 1's 42 episodes. Best to rely upon reliable sources that state what they are. -- ''']''''']'' 13:22, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
:::So what about starring characters? What defines those in this article? ]] 20:09, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
::::Doctors and Companions mostly, I would assume. I'd suggest to a look at the individual season articles and see what's listed there. -- ''']''''']'' 02:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)


I just wanted to ask why you are so insistent that you won't allow anyone to put "Chapter #'s" in front of the remaining episodes. Doesn't the fact that episode 1 of season 5 and the entire previous 4 season's episodes all have that prefix kind of make your point invalid?? I get there isn't an official "source" that "supports" it, but they will 100% have that prefix. I don't know why you keep changing it. The fact that you keep REMOVING the chapter numbers, just makes the titles even MORE inaccurate. ] (]) 02:46, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
==Lack of cohesion between different shows pages?==
Hey! Sorry to bother you with something like that, but since you're an experienced user with the TV series pages, I'd like your help with my issue, please. So, I added an episode table on ] with the info about the pilot episode and the second episode, as it was revealed by a main actor of the show via Instagram. BoogerD reversed my edits saying that we generally don't create an episode section until we have a premiere date and that Instagram is not a reliable source for that. Here is my question: how so?<br>
On ], we created the episode section as soon as we got the confirmation that Paulson was directing an episode (and if I recall, we did something similar for ''Cult''?). We also keep using Twitter and Instagram sources on the page. Yes, I know we replace them with media sources as soon as we can; but if we can't, we still use them if they come directly by the actors (which is the case here) and no other choice.<br>
I thought it could be - maybe - something only allowed for "old shows", but on the ] page, there is a table and a title via the Instagram of one of the actresses.<br>
I'm getting really lost now... The shows pages do not seem to work the same at all... I just don't understand why on AHS or AMLT it would be okay to use social media sources, but not on Grand Hotel :S So, if you could help me, please, that would be really cool of you. Thanks! ] (]) 05:15, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
:{{re|Lady Junky}} Hey, glad to help. (No idea about ''Cult'', I'm only following ''Apocalypse'' for my partner since she watches AHS.) Your edit to the page is completely acceptable. As I stated in my edit summary, there is no rule on adding a table only where there's a premiere date; the common practice is to add it once there are two cells of information available (e.g. title/date, director/title, writer/date, etc). The Instagram account is also verified, and thus is an acceptable source. The editor does not seem to be aware of this, and thus they should now know. -- ''']''''']'' 05:22, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thank you! Really. I was really getting lost now ^^' ] (]) 05:30, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
:::{{re|Lady Junky}} All good. I've made a few tweaks on the concerns of the other editor, such as the first episode not being explicitly titled "Pilot", and a production code of 102 not explicitly meaning the second episode, but it should be all good now. -- ''']''''']'' 05:32, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
::::I can get the issue with the production code. But, if you look at the pics released by ABC once the series was picked up, they called the first episode "Pilot" (, just check the episodic pics). It should be enough, no? ] (]) 05:42, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
:::::I'm checking the episodic pictures, but I can't see where "Pilot" is listed, can you point me to where? And it needs to specifically be titled "Pilot", not just called "the pilot". -- ''']''''']'' 05:47, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::I see it saying "Pilot", in the first picture of the "episodic" section if you click on the picture it says {{tq|GRAND HOTEL – “Pilot” – Eva Longoria executive produces this bold}}... and so on as the caption of the photo. ] ] 06:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
:::::::I see it now. It can be reimplemented, just with a note on where to see it on the page. -- ''']''''']'' 11:17, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey Alex,


I'm not going to deny the fact we've had more than a few disagreements while I've been here. We have however, always been able to move past them (I think I even had to write you apologies once or twice) and continue to collaborate. I also respect you a lot as an editor and appreciate all the work that you've put into project-related articles over the years (both on the back and front end). That said, I'm extremely sorry to see that you have removed yourself as a contributor of the project. Even if it's down the road, I hope that you might eventually see a way forward and continue to contribute. If not, I'll hate to see you go and just wanted to let you know that your effort hasn't gone unnoticed or unappreciated. {{smiley}} ] ] 04:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
I saw that you have been attempting to revert {{u|Joeymiskulin}}'s numerous unexplained edits wherein he seems to be removing content for no reason. I feel as though we have exhausted attempts to speak with him and that he has every intention of carrying on an edit war. Any chance you might report him? I'd do it myself but I'm not particularly skilled in that area of Misplaced Pages. – ] (]) 06:11, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
:{{re|BoogerD}} Already reported to ]. Unfortunate when we get editors like these. -- ''']''''']'' 06:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for being so swift. I mean, I feel like for me the main agitation is that it takes away time I could be spending doing something more valuable for the site. There's always a hundred different things I want to get accomplished on here each day but somehow "shenanigans" like these occupy so much time. I'm sure its a huge pet peeve for you as well. – ] (]) 06:16, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
:::Just a heads up. The editor left a message on my talk page here: ]. Their message was this:

A note of appreciation for repairing the unsolicited rename of "Llanfairpwllgwyngyll" by Turkish20302 (and they had even put a trailing '.' in the name). This user seems new.

]Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day.
