"List of Walt Disney and Buena Vista video releases"

This was recently tagged and speedied, and looks like it could be unlinked, but I am not sure of the reasoning behind the deletion due to the G6 tag used as it would be a bigdelete, so I don't know whether unlinking is appropriate [Username Needed] 10:55, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

There was consensus to delete at AfD, but pages with a ton of revisions need a steward to delete it, hence the tag. AFAICT there are no mainspace links, so what would you be unlinking? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 12:40, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Need help on Disney Comics topics

Hi all. I've been working on this article for a while but have come to a bit of a dead-end, can other people (especially people who understand a bit of Italian!) help me with getting it completed and good enough to be resubmitted? Thanks in advance!

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Fox merger issues

Editors are acting wildly in:

  1. Adding Fox Entertainment Group in various article like Walt Disney Studios (division), when the group was split into two with film units going to Walt Disney Studios (division) and the TV units going to Walt Disney Television. There is no source showing where this unit is going thus "because it exist" is not a reason to shoe horn it. 20th Century Fox is the highest former Fox unit moving to the studio segment. There is no source for Fox Entertainment Group's place in the structure of Disney and not all of its units move over, it could be a holding company for the regional sports networks up for sale, the TV units move to Walt Disney TV or units move to Fox Corporation. It could have been dissolved or merged out. See WP:NOTSPECULATION.
  2. Fox subsidiary companies that were closed before the 21CF acquisition are being drop in as former & predecessor companies in various Disney navboxes like Template:Walt Disney Television and List of assets owned by The Walt Disney Company. 21 Century Fox should still have its List of assets owned by 21st Century Fox article, so their is no reason to add them to navboxes or other Disney article.
  3. Fox 2000 Pictures should be listed as active. Fox 2000 has an announced FUTURE closure and is not current closed. WP is generally suppose to represent current facts. So - under the list it as defunct - when the remaining Fox 2000 films are release, Fox 2000 should not get credit for the film even though the unit produced them and brought them to the theater. Spshu (talk) 13:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
    I completely agree with you. There's no such a Disney unit as "Fox Entertainment Group" or even "21st Century Fox." The 21st Century Fox assets were blended into other units and no longer exist as their own group. They should be listed here based on the reporting structure... not according to how they used to be under Fox. Similarly, Fox Searchlight, Fox Animation and Fox 2000 Pictures shouldn't be placed under 20th Century Fox. They independently report to Walt Disney Studios and do not answer to 20th CF chairman.Starforce13 (talk) 20:31, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
  4. Speculating on the renaming of Fox Networks Group international unit to Walt Disney Company or Disney Channels of that region. Or redirecting Disney Company international to Fox Networks Group, when there is the Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International subsidiary. Disney units do exist around the work, so the presumption that Disney redirects should be to an acquired Fox Networks Group international unit is speculative. Spshu (talk) 13:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
I noticed that, after the Disney-Fox acquisition was completed, the websites of former 21CF subsidiaries didn't immediately change Terms of Use and Privacy Policy documents to those of Disney's (Terms of Use, Privacy Policy), but have updated their's to reflect the transaction. Also, this article from Variety about appointments within Disney in Asia mentioned a "transition period". I think these imply that it takes time for Disney to fully integrate the former 21CF businesses. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 12:29, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
I completely agree Spshu that we need to be on the watch-out for rogue editors who are engaging in speculation. It would also seem though that we need to prepare (because it seems like we have not yet) for this Project to take over the pages associated with the new assets, just like we did with prior Disney acquisitions.

Articles on each of the Disney Cruise musicals?

  • Not sure who wrote this, but I don't think we need separate articles on each musical, that seems like an invitation to many stubs. The linked article seems to indicate that each musical is associated with a certain ship so I think if anything they should be included as a section on that ship's page.

Black Is King

Hi there! I hope this is the right place to ask this :) On July 31st, the new film by Beyoncé will premiere on Disney+. The film has been described as "reimagin[ing] the lessons of The Lion King for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns", with the plot appearing to be similar to that of The Lion King but with live action people instead of animatedlions. The film is a visual album of the music from The Lion King: The Gift. However, the film hasn't officially been described as being part of The Lion King franchise, despite it being based on The Lion King and its music. I was wondering if you have any opinions about whether Black Is King should be included in the The Lion King (franchise) article or Template:The Lion King, for example? Thank you!

Mission Impossible: a draft about an obscure Pixar character

Does anyone want to help me improve a draft? A few days ago I submitted it and three days later it was declined. The reasons are these:

1. In many sections the text mixes the specific character with the short film itself, that is to say, sometimes it focuses on the short film and other times it focuses on the character. Therefore, someone would have to tear off some texts where it talks about the short film itself and then move to the short film's article.

2. In the "Unofficial media" subsection it mentions a non-notable fan animated series. This is the easiest task of the three, that is, it consists of deleting all the "Unofficial media" subsection and merge the "Offical media" with "In other media".

3. And the most important of all, the draft needs more reliable sources. But there is a problem: being a very difficult task, the character is almost unGoogleable and every time someone tries to search in Internet about the Pixar character, almost always someone ends up finding stuff that has nothing to do with it (either a more overrated Disney-owned film/franchise or an unrelated person whose name is obviously similar).

This is all we have to change in the draft. If anyone ask me which Pixar character I am referring to, I am actually referring to André, an obscure fictional character who first appeared in The Adventures of André & Wally B. and only made a cameo appearance in Red's Dream.

I hope that some member of this WikiProject, along with a member of the WikiProject Fictional characters, can help me to improve the draft in order to its next submission will be accepted. - André the Android (talk) 23:22, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Any editors interested in The Fox and the Hound?

So far, The Fox and the Hound is currently only a C-class article, which puts it on the middling end of the Disney article spectrum. I wish it could be a good article, like The Lion King, or even better, a featured article, like Frozen II. I like The Fox and the Hound the same as both the other two mentioned movies. I saw that The Fox and the Hound was marked as needing the following criteria:

  1. Referencing and citation
  2. Coverage and accuracy
  3. Structure
  4. Grammar and style
  5. Supporting materials
  6. Accessibility

Coverage and accuracy, Structure, and Supporting materials were marked as met for Films. Numbers 1 and 4 were not met. Accessibility was only applied to WikiProject Animation. It and the other 5 were not checked on Animation.

Is anyone out there ready to work on this article? 75.106.171.139 (talk) 03:51, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately not me. Working on a huge project with the Disney article ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 12:23, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
I was hoping @PrinceArchelaus: could do some work on The Fox and the Hound. Also, @Kaleeb18:, which Disney articles interest you, if not any of the animated feature films? Or just not the underrated movies? Disney currently redirects to The Walt Disney Company, is that the article you meant? But also, are there any others, or is that the only one? 75.106.171.139 (talk) 14:44, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
I've think I have done all I could do with the page. The production history and casting is well-cited with reliable references. The web pages need to be archived. I can always touch up on the grammar, though. I personally don't think the "Retrospective reviews" subsection is needed since it's not a film that has been critically re-evaluated as a masterpiece. PrinceArchelaus (talk) 16:04, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes I meant The Walt Disney Company. I'm just lazy :) I honestly like editing any article related to Disney so any of their features are cool with me. I think I enjoy editing a lot of their real-life stuff though. I was thinking about working on Walt Disney World later and maybe some of their attractions. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 17:55, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
@PrinceArchelaus:, which web pages exactly need to be archived? And do you know how to do that? As for the Retrospective reviews subsection, do you think you should go ahead and remove it? Finally, do you know which grammar can be touched up upon in the page? From what I've seen, most of it is good now. Several typos were corrected per edit requests or registered users correcting the errors. I see that there obviously isn't much left to do lately, but I wish that the article would receive more attention. It has a long way to go before becoming a good article like I want. But then again, Rome wasn't built in a day. However, @Kaleeb18:, do you have any ideas for any of the animated features listed? Several are C-class or even start-class, and most of them deserve B-class or at least C-class. Then some B-class articles have potential for good article status. I wonder, for example, if Dumbo and The Rescuers are ready for B-class now. I wonder, when the pages were last assessed? I have hope that The Lion King will be a featured article someday. I'm proud that Frozen II is a featured article. I wonder if the same will happen for its predecessor? 75.106.171.139 (talk) 03:54, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
You use Internet Archive to archive all the web pages with clickable links. And yes, I know how to do that. As for removing the "Retrospective reviews" subsection, I think there needs to be some discussion about it on the article's talk page before it can be removed. The grammar needs some minor touch-ups, but that's not big of a deal. PrinceArchelaus (talk) 04:34, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Other appearances section

I need a bit of a refresher today - what's the stance on other appearances sections? I have a user who is asking about the section in this article, specifically that it should be removed since it's WP:OR. I haven't looked at the sources to see if they back up the claim, but if they do back up the claims what is the current consensus on such sections? My personal thought is to remove it unless there's a lot of coverage since it seems just kind of like trivia. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:30, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

I mean, I think if there is a strong reliable source, then it surely should be included, but if there isn't any source, then surely it should be removed. That's just my thoughts on it. So, I basically agree with what you are saying about there having to be a lot of coverage for it to be included. Like, when when Rebecca Sugar sung (and appeared) in an episode of Amphibia, there were reviewers talking about that, and the show's creator acknowledged her song as in the episode since she wasn't directly credited in the episode from what I remember. I know that's not exactly what you are talking about here, but its something I thought of when it comes to there having to be a predominance of sources for something to be included. Historyday01 (talk) 16:02, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Title names for Disney characters

As of right now we have no guideline for what Disney characters should use for disambiguation. Some have the movie title name such as Woody (Toy Story). Others say (Disney) such as Evil Queen (Disney). The other one I see used is (Disney character) such as Megara (Disney character). I propose that we definitly do not use the movie title to disambiguate it because what if some of the characters are the title characters such a WALL-E; the character and the movie have the same name. I think we should just use (character) and if we need to disambiguate more we should use (Disney Character). This is just my opinion, and I brought this up because of this conversation. If we come to an agreement we should add it to our character article guidelines.


Pinging active members of the WikiProject so they can see this: PrinceArchelaus, bibliomaniac15, (Oinkers42), Kingsif, Wingwatchers, Pamzeis, SlySabre, Historyday01, and ZX2006XZ ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 18:51, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hmm. Maybe it should be "(character)" and if further disambiguate then we could use "(Disney Character)". If I understand this correctly, pages for Luz Noceda, Shego, and Phineas Flynn, which are in Disney shows I've watched, would remain the same name unless there a need for disambiguation. Is that right? Historyday01 (talk) 20:11, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Yes they would remain the same. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 22:30, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

It is definitely a case by case, but the rule could be: first, is disambiguation needed (if not, do not disambiguate), second, does the character share the name with another pre-existing character (if not, use (character), if one of these works the basis of the Disney adaptation (and the character shares the same name, some do not like Belle (Beauty and the Beast)) use (Disney character) or, if desired (-- insert film title here --). For examples of each (of ones that are currently not articles), Amity Blight, WALL-E (character), and Peter Pan (Disney character). (Oinkers42) (talk) 21:13, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
I agree with you Oinkers. So what are yall's thoughts about using the title name of the movie to disambiguate instead of just saying Disney character (Disney Character) instead of the title of the movie to disambiguate. I believe, if possible, it should always just be (Disney character) if we need to disambiguate more than (character) and the only time we should use the title name of a movie to disambiguate is if there are two Disney characters with the same name. I'm asking cause we should be WP:CONSISTENT/ ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 22:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Hmm, that would probably be better to use the title name of the movie to disambiguate rather than just saying "Disney character". Historyday01 (talk) 00:19, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Flowchart
I think Oinkers42's priority list is the best way to do it. I have mocked up a flowchart that may be useful. This prioritizes using the movie name, rather than defaulting to "(Disney character)" even if using the movie name is still an option. This is because characters in Disney movies may not necessarily be Disney properties, and we don't want to encourage mislabeling for sake of consistency, so the go-to should be the movie name. Other questions, e.g. if the character appears in multiple movies but the other disambiguation labels aren't options, could be added. Kingsif (talk) 21:26, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
The only problem I have with that is in regards to Belle (Beauty and the Beast) or Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), as it could lead to issues when people are searching for the film's songs, Belle (Disney song) and Gaston (song). (Oinkers42) (talk) 21:31, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Kingsif brings up a good point about how the character may not be Disney property. I believe we should use Kingsif's flow chart for the articles. I will also add that there are some articles like this Thanos and Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe). So if there are two different versions for the same character lets say like the book version of Rapunzel and the Disney version of Rapunzel, in that situation should we put (Disney character) instead of the movie name since the movie name is the same as the fairy tale name or no. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 22:01, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Raya as a Disney Princess

Should Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon from be counted as a Disney Princess? The official Disney Parks blog has stated that she is having a coronation ceremony, however she is not listed on the official Disney Princess website. I do have to mention that Elena from Elena of Avalor was also coronated and was not added to the lineup. There is also no reliable source for either addition, as far as I am aware. (Oinkers42) (talk) 02:17, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Hmm... I think I would follow what the official Disney Parks blog stated. Also the Disney Princess page probably hasn't updated yet. Maybe its also different for Elana because she is from a TV sereies. No idea though. ― Kaleeb18TalkCaleb 02:33, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Assistance with List of Cars characters

Hello! I'm looking for some assistance in cutting down the above article. It started out at 285,495 bytes in size but I've since cut it all the way down to 52,987 bytes, but I"m sure it can be cut down more. Along with that, a vast majority of the information in the article is completely unsourced (and if it is sourced it's done so with a primary source associated with the subject). Once we've cut down all the remaining info that is just unnecessary I'm looking to create a list criteria to prevent it from exploding again. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:22, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Massive Crossover games on Franchise Navboxes

There has been a tendency by multiple editors to add massive crossover games, such as Disney Magic Kingdoms and Disney Dreamlight Valley on every possible franchise template they fall under, no matter how small of a presence the game has (may it be an appearance from a single character). Now, I am not saying that no crossover games should be present, but the game must have a major presence of the franchise to be added. It should be a portion of the game themed entirely around the IP, such as a world in Kingdom Hearts, or a level in Disney Universe. I was wondering on everyone else's opinions on this. @BrookTheHumming: @Magical Golden Whip: (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:27, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

In the case of Disney Magic Kingdoms, all the collections based on films have their own storylines (serving as a kind of "sequel" to their respective films) and participation in events not only when they are added but in later updates. In addition to the characters, also attractions based on film locations or real Disney Park attractions that are part of their franchises. Having all of them equally important, so ignoring them would be like saying that none of them are important in the game, like saying that there is 0 participation of the different franchises in the game. So none of them is of low importance, because the different franchises have their participation after all (another thing are films like "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad", appearing a statue of the Headless Horseman, or "Tron", appearing a Tron Lamp as decoration, that is indeed something lack of relevance).
In case of a game that adds only one character, it doesn't mean that the franchise should be ignored, for example in the Kingdom Hearts series Chicken Little is the only character from his film appearing only in Kingdom Hearts II, but it's still the film's protagonist in the game, being something related to the franchise due to character involvement. Another thing would be for example Lady and Tramp, whose image appears in the Traverse Town water fountain in several games, but it is only an image of them, which is really something lack of relevance.
Although on the other hand, I think that single character cases should be applied to those who are protagonists, since they represent their franchise, or symbolic important characters (Jiminy Cricket, Tinker Bell, Timon and Pumba...). For example in Disney Dreamlight Valley Remy is the only character from his film, but someone important during the progress of the game in addition to the symbolic protagonist of his franchise, which is a remarkable inclusion of the franchise, in addition to having a realm based on the film. But another thing are characters like Mother Gothel or Scar, antagonists of their films (who are not so symbolic in their films like Maleficent or Cruella De Vil are) and the only characters from them that are currently in the game, so I do think that there should be no mention a link of the game in the templates, at least until there is expansion of the cast of characters, or at least see Rapunzel or Simba included, making the presence of the franchise greater. -BrookTheHumming (talk) 17:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
The problem is is the massive Disney crossover games, such as Disney Magic Kingdoms or Disney Dreamlight Valley are bound to eventually have an appearance from every single Disney franchise, so creating some kind of inclusion criteria is important. With Kingdom Hearts I originally put it only for the games that had a dedicated world at some point, not just what is essentially a glorified cameo in a summon. I can agree there is more wiggle room, especially with stuff like Maleficent or Merlin from The Sword in the Stone, but we should not list it until there is a noteworthy impact besides the idea of a generic Disney crossover game. I can understand the inclusion of Disney Magic Kingdoms on most franchises based on your description, but I struggle to see why Disney Dreamlight Valley would be relevant to most franchises, outside of those that have important gameplay functions. (Oinkers42) (talk) 17:28, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
I agree that although only 1 character and some elements of a franchise appear, it is a part of the franchise in the game after all. It's not the same, like the example BrookTheHumming has given, seeing a simple image of Lady and the Tramp in Kingdom Hearts than seeing other characters actually participating in the game as is the case of for example Dumbo (his only participation being only in that game and in Chain of Memories as a summon, but for that reason we are not going to pretend that his appearance does not exist, since the character appears and therefore is something linked to the film).
The Super Smash Bros. games or other similar ones such as Jump Super Stars and later sequels are an example that although absolutely all of them have minor participation, since they are appearances of some characters from different franchises only as a choice to fight, they are a participation of their franchises in the games after all.

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Proposal to merge Template:Disney Fairies into a Peter Pan franchise template

I feel like it is a more appropriate use to merge the Disney Fairies template into a one for the wider Peter Pan franchise. A decent amount of the current template is full of redirects (the entire publication section, for instance). I think this would be better suited under the wider template. I have created a draft for said merged template, which I will place below. @BrookTheHumming: @Fanoflionking:

(Oinkers42) (talk) 03:06, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Go for it, a merge template is probably what is best Fan Of Lion King 🦁 (talk) 07:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
It would be quite appropriate for navigating between the two franchises, as "Peter Pan" is the original while "Disney Fairies" is a sub-franchise connected to the other. In addition, both occasionally have connections in some media, as is the case in the Disney Fairies film The Pirate Fairy, showing the origins of various Peter Pan characters. - BrookTheHumming (talk) 10:50, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
