Dynasty (2017) Colbys edit

Jeff and Monica aren't first cousins; they are half-cousins. Season 1 Episode 22.

Um, their mother is Blake's half-sister, but "half-cousins" is not a thing.— TAnthonyTalk 04:55, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
How is it not a thing when it was mentioned in 1x22? BlueD954 (talk) 06:20, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
@TAnthony:; "but "half-cousins" is not a thing" - According to one of our very own Wikipedia articles... it is. - wolf 10:16, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
First of all, that pgh of Cousin is unsourced, so there is currently no evidence that this is an actual legal term that a significant number of people use. As far as I know, it is not (and at least one genealogy expert says as much, but I don't know that his blog could be considered a reliable source). In any case, {{Infobox soap character}} has been expanded over the years to include many family designations in separate parameters, like brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, step and half-siblings. Something like "half cousins" falls into the realm of overly trivial, and in fact, the documentation says the template should include only first cousins (though I would not remove them in this case). This unique relationship between the Carringtons and Colbys should be explained in the plot summary if it is notable, not further cluttering the infobox. The scope and content of this template have been much-debated, but feel free to open a discussion about the inclusion of the term into the template at Template talk:Infobox soap character. Thanks! — TAnthonyTalk 15:56, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

New article for the reboot version? edit

Since when do we create new articles for alternate versions of the same character, as has just been done with Fallon Morell Carrington? If we don’t do it for Superman or Dracula, who have each had multiple iterations, I’m not seeing the purpose. It is merely an extraction of reboot material from this article with nothing establishing why it should be separated (and this article is not really that long).— TAnthonyTalk 02:00, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
