Topic on Talk:Qualitipedia

There is absolutely no need to continue this discussion. This is a stupid idea and it has a snowball's chance in heck of ever even being considered by the admins.

Not up to you to close this frankly. I'm considering similar, per the websites wiki comment, though not for the wikis mentioned in the title due to their scale and the additional issues they would have. Will keep this open a couple days and reclose if nothing more of use is added, but I strongly discourage closures especially by non admins who merely believe the idea is stupid. --Raidarr (talk) 22:24, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

I think merging the film and TV wikis into the "Entertainment Wiki" is a great idea.

No, that's not going to happen.

Not gonna happen.

Entertainment pretty much applies to all of the wikis on QP, so just doing it for the TV and movie ones is kinda dumb. And either way it would take to much time to do, would require two more wikis to be requested for such a thing, and is overall pointless since TV and movies are two separate things most of the time.

I think is a terrible idea. While they are similar, movies and TV shows are not structured similarly, and have different budgets and has to structure in a way so that the times can be (movies have higher budgets and shorter duration in general; while shows can be longer but have comparatively lower budgets)

No, we are not going to merge the wikis together! All of the wikis must stay separate.

While I don't like the idea, we should wait until more users read this Bluba

@King Dice To be fair, it's a terrible idea, and Bluba has a point that it should remain separate. I don't really like the idea of them all being merged together, when it should stay as it is.

Every wiki outside the TV Shows and Movie wikis in Qualitipedia qualifies as "entertainment", besides, merging the film and TV show wikis is actually a terrible idea due to their differences within their structures, so it's also never gonna happen, and even if it does happen, it's gonna take lots of time.

Way too much at once work wise, conflates scope of wiki topics (tv shows vs movies) I don't think would be wise to glue back together, and the name is really just not well suited.

However I am strongly compelled by the idea of doing this for the website wikis, which would encounter significantly fewer of the issues that make me not fond of the main suggestion of this thread and has a chance of reducing the damaging impact of a pair of wikis that are uniquely lacking in function on QP of the ones that remain.

Bad idea. Not only do you give no reason why this should be done (which contradicts the title of this topic), but the inherent problems with it (it would take a lot of time to merge, the scope of both wikis doesn't mesh well, etc.) make clear that it won't work out so well.

Not a good idea since there'd be way too many pages depending on each media, which would make creating or even editting them more difficult than it already is, and the whole merged wiki would be such a mess because of it.

Is there anything you'd like to suggest regarding the concerns raised here, @MJ2003?

Yeah, I think the Awful Movies Wiki’s article on The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox is uncalled for.

Also, I think that the film wikis should be merged into the "Film Wiki" while the TV wikis should be merged into the "Television Wiki".

1. Explain why you think the page is uncalled for.
2. While the idea of merging the wikis was passed around at one point, it was ultimately dropped due to unpopularity and impracticality. Also "Film Wiki" and "Television Wiki" are not very descriptive of their purpose.

This page is uncalled for because hateful nonsense regarding The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox is grinding my gears.

Movies and Tv shows aren't the same.

Film and TV are all different forms of entertainment.

Than why merge them to one wiki?

I was referring to the film wikis and the television wikis with different qualities.

Yeah, if they are different types of entertainment than why merge them?

Because the film wikis with different qualities should be merged into a neutral wiki about movies while the TV wikis about different qualities should be merged into a neutral wiki about TV shows.

So, is this to say you wish to add neutral wikis to make them three wikis per concept?

Yeah.

They are distinct enough in terms of length and production values that they can't really be considered equal.
