Date format

[edit]

The episode list uses a day-month-year format for dates, but the rest of the page uses a month-day-year format. Since this is about a mainly British topic, should day-month-year be used throughout the whole page? Juqo (talk) 13:57, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hilda and The Mountain King WP:SPLITOUT?

[edit]

I have put Hilda and The Mountain King in drafts as it film based on the series similar to The Rugrats Movie and Shaun the Sheep Movie it best to do a separate article 92.236.253.249 (talk) 16:03, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If there's enough information for it to be its own page, go for it, but I don't think that much is known about the film at this point. I think it might be a bit too early to split it off into its own page yet. --Historyday01 (talk) 17:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – based on the draft, there is not enough sourceable info to justify a standalone article. A section on that at this article is fine, as per WP:NOPAGE. --IJBall (contribstalk) 13:45, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with IJBall. Perhaps after the film is out, then it can have its own page. But, currently, there isn't enough sources for it to be its own page. --Historyday01 (talk) 18:33, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
With about 7 days before the film's release, I've decided to take some time to add in new information that's since come out in the Hilda and The Mountain King draft. Wondering if this is enough for it to have its own page. --ReyGGTV (talk) 23:58, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hilda's father is possibly the BellKeeper

[edit]

Is Hilda's father the BellKeeper? RWYcadenzaeditz (talk) 09:59, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RWYcadenzaeditz,
Hilda's father is not the Bellkeeper because in Season Three Chapter Five: The Job it introduces Hilda's biological Father, Anders. While it is a fun theory to think about, it is not true whatsover.
Hope I answered your question,

Animation Belongs in the Infobox

[edit]

It always amazes me when some editors feel their preconceived notions of things like "genre" are more important than WP:Readers first – i.e. actually summarizing useful content for our readers in an infobox. Who gives a crap whether "animation" is actually a "genre" (for the record, it is) or not?! – The point is it is useful for readers for that information to be summarized in the infobox. Which is the purpose of the infobox – so that a reader can glance at it, and know if a show is, for example, animated or not? What is so difficult with this concept?! --IJBall (contribstalk) 16:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hear what you are saying, but I'd say the ONLY time it is possibly acceptable is if a show is an adult animation. But, personally, I would argue that animation is NOT a genre, so it shouldn't be in the infobox. It can still be stated in the first sentence to the article. Also, the section you cited noted there is not a consensus to describe something as an animation:

Although animation is listed under "genres" and is classified as a genre by many film critics and streaming services, there is an ongoing debate between the animation community and the general public whether animation is a genre or a medium; and that the genres in the "Live-action scripted" genre can also be portrayed in an animated format, and the below kinds of animation are not types of stories, but simply types of ways that a film can be animated.

Furthermore, your comment somewhat undermines your argument. And animation CAN be in the infobox elsewhere, and not in the genres. Like, if the production companies are specific animation studios, its pretty obvious the show is an animation. Such a strange hill to die on. Historyday01 (talk) 18:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's forcing less-than-knowledgeable readers to interpret production houses – we shouldn't be doing that... Again, there is no good reason not to list "animation" under genres in the IB – 1) it helps readers, and 2) as per the template's own docs, anything listed under List of genres#Film and television genres should be fair game to list under |genre= in the IB, and "animation" is in that section ("controversial" or not).
Again, what's more important here?! – Serving the readership? Or some editor's preconceived notions?! I can tell you, on my end, this is no contest as to which is more important. It's also exactly why WP:IAR is a thing – the most useful encyclopedia to readers is Job #1 here. --IJBall (contribstalk) 20:05, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument is absurd. This article notes that it is an animated series in the FIRST sentence! What is the need to put it in the genres section? It just seems like a silly thing to say this article needs, and it is duplication, plain and simple. Adding it does NOT help readers, but likely leads to further confusion. I've seen you on here before and have appreciated your arguments, as they are usually very well-thought out, but this argument has to be one of the most laughable ones I've seen you express on here, perhaps ever.

Frida

[edit]

The article describes her as Black-British. This seems to be incorrect as there is no reason to believe that the show takes place in Britain. 173.48.120.37 (talk) 21:34, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe so, but I believe it does take place in somewhere Europe. And she does HAVE a British accent. There is no proof that the show DOES take place in Britain, but there is also no proof it DOESN'T, if that makes sense. :) 2601:CD:C980:5ED0:C9B6:93ED:86EA:3CF8 (talk) 02:17, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
