Template:Dad's Army cast (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

There is a precedent not to include actors in navboxes, due to the candy-striping that would ensue should an actor be in multiple productions (which most actors are, and why should we give WP:UNDUE weight to the ones with navboxes on the actors' articles), and to the fact that cast lists are better off in articles. -- Rob Sinden (talk) 15:13, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Well, well. @Robsinden: (1) Could you point to any article transcluding this template which would be improved by removing it? (2) What is candy-striping and why it is a bad thing? I believe the allusion is to a worm. (3) If cast lists are better off in articles, why is this template is unsatisfactory? Thincat (talk) 12:13, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I assume candy striping is a reference to the resemblance to it that having multiple templates on the same article bears. As for this template, delete it in favor of a list in the lead article. Nom is correct that having casts in templates will result in unnecessary clutter for actors who appear in multiple projects. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 21:19, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's only a single navbox on each actor's article, because we generally don't allow actors in navboxes. If we were to implement it, then candystriping would ensue. --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:40, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
