The template directs readers to the "Animated films task force", whereas the title of that entity is the "Animated films work group" --LukeSurl t c 14:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. I'm pretty sure I can guess what your X to Y is, but I want to be sure because if it is what I think it is, then I'd have to decline this request. "task force" is consistent and the link takes you to Wikipedia:WikiProject Animation/Animated films work group via a redirect that was created by Fortdj33 apparently for that reason. Such a redirect would seem to fall under WP:NOTBROKEN to me. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c)17:06, 19 January 2015 (UTC)- Change the template so it displays, when Animated=yes, "Animated films work group" rather than "Animated films task force" because this is the name of the actual page. It also makes the template display the same as Template:WikiProject Animation which uses the correct term. Currently talk pages such as Talk:Foodfight! which implement both templates give the impression there are two different groups - it looks like People's Front of Judea vs.Judean People's Front type situation. --LukeSurl t c 19:04, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- Required code in the /sandbox. I can't think of any reasons not to do this. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:27, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- The difference between "task force" and "work group", is because the article falls under the scope of more than one WikiProject. For example, if I pick a random article from the "Indian cinema task force", such as Talk:Jeevitham (1984 film), it shows up under the {{WikiProject India}} banner as part of the "Indian cinema workgroup". Similarly, a random article from the "Comic book films task force", such as Talk:The Fantastic Four (2015 film), shows up under the {{WikiProject Comics}} banner as part of the "Comic book films work group". I understand the good faith effort on the part of LukeSurl, but this is simply not a problem that needs to be fixed. Fortdj33 (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- It seems that Indian cinema and Comic book films are actually task forces of WP:FILM whereas animated films is a work group of WP:ANIMATION. Would it not make sense to call them by their actual names? (And those other two banners could be adjusted to reflect that.) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:23, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- I would say that they already are being called by their proper names, within the context of their parent projects. All of them are referred to as "task forces" by {{WikiProject Film}}, and all of them are referred to as "work groups" by their respective secondary projects. Just because the Animated films task force started as a work group of WP:ANIMATION, is no reason to make all the other joint task forces conform to it. As Technical 13 points out, if it's WP:NOTBROKEN, why fix it? Fortdj33 (talk) 01:49, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

As a creator of this work group, I would have no problem with that, but not likely right now since this a work group WP:ANIMATION. JJ98 (Talk) 09:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Future-class
Can this template be edited to enable assessing articles as being Future-class? I'm not sure how exactly it works but it'd be useful for this one, to tag upcoming films. See Template:WikiProject Albums & Category:Future-Class_Album_articles. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 06:58, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes it could, but you would need to discuss this kind of change with the WikiProject first. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:19, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Jeraphine. We used to have Future-Class but removed it because we found the other classes (Stub, Start, C) sufficient. My approach has been that an article cannot be B-class until the film has been released, meaning both reviews and box office content. If you'd like to request bringing it back, you can start a discussion at WT:FILM. For what it's worth, Category:Upcoming films can be used to identify articles about upcoming films, which is more direct than going through talk pages.

- Hey thanks. If it's already been done and undone then I'm not gonna push it. I was just wondering. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 13:26, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Task force counting error
For some reason, the Mexican task force articles aren't counted in Category:WikiProject Film task force usage. See Talk:¡Viva México! (El grito de Dolores) which puts it in Category:Film articles with no associated task forces. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- This edit has fixed it. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:29, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Casting consensus discussion
Listen up, everyone. Deathawk started a discussion on casting sections in movies on the Wikifilm talk page like a week ago and it has been mostly forgotten. Everyone on it might want to take a look and continue with it's discussion so we can set up a consensus about it. The discussion is located here. So go there so we can reach an consensus.
