Creating Franchise Pages Wherever Appropriate

Go To

This thread is for questions regarding creating or cutting pages in Franchise/ namespace and Franchise Index.

As a reminder, being a Series Franchise doesn't mean a Work can have a Franchise/ page. For that it needs existing (not Red Link) and connected (official releases for the same trademark) Work pages in 3 different Mediums, not 3 pages for the same property in general.

If it doesn't meet those criteria, the section about related releases can be on page of the first installment.

    Original first post 
Now, I don't know about you, but we don't seem to have that many Franchise pages.

For instance, Video Games. Take a look at this page. I guarantee that we don't even have that many listed in the Franchise namespace.

Also, I set up Franchise pages for Duke Nukem, Deer Hunter, and Grand Theft Auto.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to list multiple games in a Franchise page as opposed to a Video Game page?

The Franchise.Evillious Chronicles franchise only has pages for Light Novels, but for the life of me I can't figure out what namespace to move it to.

Franchise.Silverwing was created recently with only a literature and westernani ation page.

The creator also made a franchise for a series of webvideos that was cutlisted so they might not be getting the message.

Evillious Chronicles look to originate in the Music medium, so a move to Music.Evillious Chronicles would seem appropriate to me.

Silver wing is a stub with bad linking habits, too. They don't seem familiar with general editing practices, so you may want to alert the mods (post in ATT or holler either post in this thread).

There is a 32 post topic in ATT about him and his poor editing habits. Mods don't seem to care.

EDIT: He's since been suspended. That Franchise/ page can be added to the cutlist.

Franchise.Tsukipro was recently created with no other pages or even tropes

Franchise.Tintin should have a page in the ComicBook/ namespace, but doesn't.

Just cutlisted Franchise.Blade Runner 2049 and Franchise.Blade Runner Shorts.

They're both redirects for Franchise.Blade Runner and had no wicks, and those individual entries do not qualify for a Franchise/ page.

Did you send him anything about Auto Erotic Troping? Because his creator page is more akin to a Tropers/ page and he adds YMMV items to his own works.

[up] I didn't send one, I didn't think to check the creator page

Franchise.Dora The Explorer was created today with only WesternAnimation/ pages

Did you send him anything about the misuse of Franchise/?

If so, go ahead and cutlist those pages.

Throw Dora onto the cutlist. It's nothing but a list of the books, which isn't what this site is for.

~JWEdwards has edited the Multimedia Franchise pages without adding sufficient media pages, so this post is sending an additional PM.

The Dora lists looks like they could be moved to the appropriate media pages and index as redlinks to encourage more troping. THEN the Multimedia Franchise page could be cut.

Just a reminder that we've been keeping notes on Sandbox.Franchise Namespace Correction. Adding your examples there will help keep them from falling through the cracks.

Given the lack of response from JW Edwards, I'd say it's fine to cutlist all of those pages. I'm suspending them to prevent more abuse.

So here's the listing of pages he's made I can find. Most of them have obvious solutions I will implement, but I'd appreciate feedback on the ones in bold:

Most of your questions can be answered with yes/no, so here's a yes to agree with them.

With regards to Tails From The Federation, assuming the work exists I would prefer to see it moved to the Literature namespace.

Cutlisted the obvious ones and the Comic Book trio, which in hindsight was an obvious cut and cleaned up the descriptions of the ones I said I would.

I'll wait for more consensus before anything else.

Also:

  • Skum-Faux: Fictional band, also made using a hyphen which is not allowed so the page is getting cut regardless. The question is remake in Darth Wiki or just cut? I lean towards just cut, but... yeah.

Franchise.Cloverfield was recently created despite it only having two works (Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane), both in the same namespace - Film.

Larkmarn Since: Nov, 2010 Relationship Status: Hello, I love you
#323: Jan 22nd 2018 at 7:37:47 AM

Cut list it. Nothing in there is actually related to the franchise as a whole, just Film.Cloverfield.

Any comments on my last posts? I'm probably just going to go through with my points (generally just cutting, really) if no one objects.

EDIT: Since JWEdwards cannot help but ban-evade to edit these pages I'm sort of wondering if we should just cutlist his creator and work pages to prevent his, ah, self-congratulatory troping. Seriously, every one of his pages seems to either be preening with pride or importing drama. EDIT EDIT: Per mod approval, cutlisting improper Franchise/ pages. Still need opinions on Music.Skum-Faux, Creator.Majestic Blue Studios, and Webcomic.His 7 Valkyries.

Franchise.Greys Anatomy was created with only two mediums represented: television and video games.

Franchise.Ys only covers a video game series. Manga, an OVA, and novels do exist, but they don't seem to be covered on the page and there aren't any pages for them to justify the use of the Franchise namespace.
