No, because we'd end up with a million cluttered indexes, but on work pages rather than creator pages.
This is an inaccurate understanding. It was declined for an ongoing conversation.
With that in mind, crowner away. If the crowner is called to cut, the cuts will be made.

No.
I haven't really heard an explanation for what use any of these indexes are. Charles Dickens Media Actors. What's the use of that? What information is derived from it?
Richard E. Grant is on eleven different indexes. Apparently there's an index called A Series Of Unfortunate Events Actors.

- Vote up to add UsefulNotes.Franchise Actors (and subindexes) to the Cut List, vote down to keep (or move to a different namespace).
- Vote up to remove the index tags from UsefulNotes.Franchise Actors (and subindexes), vote down to keep the index tags (even if they move to a different namespace)
- Vote up to move UsefulNotes.Franchise Actors (and subindexes) to the Just for Fun namespace, vote down if you believe JFF is the wrong namespace.
- Vote up to create a new namespace (Cast And Crew or Cast alone) to be a subpage to work pages in general (listing everyone involved in production) and move UsefulNotes.Franchise Actors (and subindexes) to the new namespace, vote down if you're against the creation of either namespace.

Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I just logged in. As someone who created and contributed to the pages there, I want it to stay. However, I do personally think that the page is cluttered AF, and sorry to be blunt, but a number of them do not fit the franchise aspect.
I'm
with the "trimming" and moving to a different namespace ideas.
I think the current crowner options are good if we have the understanding that if the "Cut" option is sustained all content on the Franchise actors pages will be moved to Characters, Creator, or Trivia pages as appropriate before the pages are cut.
"It's just a show; I should really just relax"
So it would be "Cut indexes, move information elsewhere"
Deleting the index pages, sure, but the information can still have a place somewhere which is what we've been discussing for a bit now. The indexes aren't a great idea but the information in them can be useful.
Maybe there should be two options: Cut completely and Cut while moving the information elsewhere.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall![]()
Of course.
I believe the options are:
- Cut entirely
- Cut, move information
- Keep indexes
- Keep and trim the indexes (maybe?)
- Move to a new "Cast" namespace
- Move to Just For Fun
- Remove Index Tags
I said to myself, "Self, I bet David Warner is in a lot of indexes! He's been a very busy character actor!"
David Warner is in seventeen role-based indexes. Including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Actors, and Tales From The Crypt Actors, and Shakespearian Actors, which is in the Main namespace!
We've talked about this for quite a bit and I still haven't really heard any explication of what use these indexes are to anyone.
Anyway, can we start a crowner? Can I start one or does a mod need to do that?
They're of use to anyone who may not be aware of how extensive the franchises are and/or how many well-known (and not-so-well-known) actors have appeared in them. That's probably not good enough for you but it's good enough for me and I'd bet it's good enough for the average troper.
Crown Description:
Franchise Actors is being declared Not Tropeworthy.

What about the reverse? Should an actor page have indexing on all of their movies?
