American film stubs

Hello! While I appreciate your good faith edits, for American films the country tags should only be used as a last resort. There are over 25,000 Stub-class film articles that fall under the American cinema task force, so when adding stub tags to American films, please use a more appropriate genre stub tag on those articles, instead of the stub tags in Category:American film stubs. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 14:04, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add - first, thanks for all your work on stubs, imdb etc. It's greatly appreciated. Second, regarding Fortdj33's comment above... there is a difference between adding something to a category versus adding numerous stub tags. Your rational when you re-added your stub tags would be more of a rationale for adding a category, rather than a stub. The purpose of stub tags is to allow folks who work on projects (like American films) to find stubs to improve. The genre specific stubs are more relevant to those types of searches.

@Fortdj33:@Onel5969: First of all there have to be said that you may use more than one stub template if necessary, though no more than four should be used on any article (General Information). There is no restriction adding only one stub-template. According to this I was correct. The aim should be to categorize the film-stub-templates as precise as possible. The problem cannot be solved by adding more categories (apart from that every stub-template IS a category) like here was done. It can be seen that this film is now categorized as a comedy-drama film stub but not as an American-film stub anymore. A genre-film-stub is not automatically a country-film-stub. Find the most appropriate stub template for the article. If there isn't the best and the most precise template available (similar to Category:British comedy film stubs as sub-category to Category:Comedy film stubs) you have to use more. -- MovieFex (talk) 23:34, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. But you're missing my point above. Stub tags do not serve the same function as categories. In your above example, that's an argument regarding adding an article to as many appropriate categories as possible. However, stub sort tags are inserted to assist editors who look to improve certain types of articles. Editors like Fortdj33 use them as a means to find articles to improve. Personally, I don't do a lot of work in that area. Folks who work in improving the US Film stubs appreciate the more specific genre-type stubs, and find the stub sort types like "1920s US film" as generic, and it clutters up their searches... At least that's how I'm reading it. I'm sure Fortdj33 can explain it better. Regardless, let me reiterate my appreciation for the work you're doing. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:44, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969:Thank you very much for your appreciation. But I have to contradict that I didn't pay attention to your notes. Let me give an example: Using the Template:1930s-US-film-stub adds automatically the film-stub-categories 1930s film stubs and American film stubs but no genre-stub. But let's have a look to a better example to show what I mean, the above mentioned example Category:Comedy film stubs and precised Category:British comedy film stubs. There is no similar template to American films. Best would be if someone creates such a template but as long as such a combined template doesn't exist you have to use two, one for American and one for comedy. That's what I did. -- MovieFex (talk) 00:27, 29 August 2017 (UTC) PS: I've found the absolutely most precise template combining all: Template:1930s-UK-comedy-film-stub — one template includes everyhing — available for British films.

MovieFex, again you seem to be missing the point. Ideally, there should be as few stub tags on an article as possible. While it may sometimes be acceptable to include more than one stub tag on a film article (for example, one for the country of origin, and one for the genre), the stub tags for American films are an exception, because there are so many films that fall into that category. Therefore, members of {{WikiProject Film}} came to a consensus a long time ago, that there was no benefit to having THOUSANDS of articles in Category:American film stubs. That's why the category states "It should directly contain very few, if any, pages and should mainly contain subcategories". Combining both a genre and country stub tag may work for some projects, but it just isn't necessary for American films. Fortdj33 (talk) 12:35, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wild Things

Please explain this revert. As I understand it, you object because the article is not about the films? Please point me to this rule, because I am not aware of it existing. Mind you, the article is directly related to the films. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:27, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
