What We Do in the Shadows templates

As you can see at the history of {{What We Do in the Shadows}}, I merged the contents of {{What We Do in the Shadows FX}}. with my reasoning explained in detail; just over a single day later, you then split it to a third template at {{What We Do in the Shadows seasons}}, can you please explain this? (You also added in a blatant redirect; List of What We Do in the Shadows episodes is not an article.) -- Alex_21 _TALK 21:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

I did not know you had done that. My aim was to create pages for What We Do in the Shadows (season 1), What We Do in the Shadows (season 2), What We Do in the Shadows (season 3), What We Do in the Shadows (season 4), What We Do in the Shadows (season 5), and List of What We Do in the Shadows episodes; I have draftified the first already.

Now that I know you did though, I do not agree; there should be separate templates for the What We Do in the Shadows franchise and What We Do in the Shadows seasons. The current template makes the original film and Wellington Paranormal look like footnotes compared to the television series. MangoloITCrowd (talk) 08:20, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

As I explained in my edit summary, before the merge, the franchise template failed the minimum rule of five links, and could have been nominated for deletion. As the episodes are still entries in the franchise as a whole, there was no reason for them to be split; the template now mirrors the longstanding example set by {{Westworld}}. How entries "look" in a navbox isn't relevant; a navbox is created and used to help navigation between similar pages. -- Alex_21 _TALK 08:38, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

It will have five links when I am done.

1. What We Do in the Shadows (franchise)

2. What We Do in the Shadows (film)

3. Wellington Paranormal

4. What We Do in the Shadows (TV series)

5. List of What We Do in the Shadows episodes

Let’s bring that up to five more links for the seasons themselves, and then give the seasons/episodes their own template. MangoloITCrowd (talk) 09:09, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

That's still barely enough links to make a template, and I guarantee that through years experience of adding/visiting TFD's, if it were to be nominated for deletion by another random passing-by editor, then the TFD would close as "merge".

Valid examples of splitting episode templates away from the franchise template would be {{A Song of Ice and Fire}} / {{Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon episodes}}, {{Doctor Who}} / {{Doctor Who episodes}}, or on a smaller scale {{Futurama}} / {{Futurama episodes}}. See how they each exist as fully fleshed-out templates by themselves, instead of one having most links and the other only having very few. -- Alex_21 _TALK 10:40, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from What We Do in the Shadows (TV series) into Draft:What We Do in the Shadows (season 1). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 01:31, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
