Reception transclusion
[edit]As I explained, and since since disagreement has become evident, this transcluded format of reception tables has been reverted and contested before, and as far as I know, there has never been a clear consensus formed to use it - unless you can link me to one? -- Alex_21 TALK 11:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- There's no consensus to not use it either (as far as I'm aware anyway). Used on other articles without objection. Was added 31 December 2022 (diff) so over 1.5 years since. That article didn't have this table at all before added like this. The status quo that was in place for over 1.5 years should stay until consensus otherwise, per WP:BRD. Can't just remove anything that far back with reason of no consensus just because it's not been discussed etc. Indagate (talk) 13:37, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- One and a half years doesn't mean a solid consensus at all. The original edit was its inclusion, which has been disputed, and there is a far wider usage of regular tables than jargoned transcluded tables. There's a difference between transcluding a few statistics, and transcluding an episode table with over 100 cells of unique information - if this was the basis for transcluding, we could transclude mass swaths of information between parent and season articles. -- Alex_21 TALK 00:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- The original edit of its inclusion has got implied consensus as not been disputed for 1.5 years, so should get consensus to change that original edit per WP:BRD, not other way round. Wider usage of untranscluded tables because there's no need for most usages, but lack of prior usage isn't a reason to not do something when it doesn't go against consensus. 7,318 of bytes over 18 rows as example from that article is more than a "few statistics". There aren't other complete tables shared between articles so don't see them as viable for translcuding, so there's not "mass swaths of information" that could be transcluded, WP:TMPG says can't use templates for article text, principle can apply to translcuding but tables aren't article text.

Sorry
[edit]Sorry I totally misread the diff. Editing while tired. (I thought you were moving the Cinemascore reference to the top of the column. didn't realize I'd put the Deadline reference in the wrong column.) The preview button wont save me from editing while distracted. Thanks though. -- 109.76.130.60 (talk) 12:29, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, thanks. Indagate (talk) 12:46, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
