The result of the move request was: moved back to Chicago (franchise) per WP:SNOW (page mover nac) Flooded  with them hundreds  17:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

One Chicago (TV franchise) → One Chicago – Once this was moved from Chicago (franchise) to One Chicago "(TV franchise)" I believe that (TV franchise) is unnecessary disambiguation. One Chicago currently exists as a redirect to OneChicago and it appears to me that this franchise is the primary topic especially from two quick google searches, one searching OneChicago and the other searching One Chicago.

 * Oppose, and support move back to Chicago (franchise). Article was moved without discussion on October 5, and no evidence has been provided at the article (which, BTW, is a mess) that the franchise is widely called "One Chicago", or indeed that anyone calls it that! Even if NBC is calling that, as per WP:OFFICIALNAME that doesn't mean anything – I see no evidence that the franchise's WP:COMMONNAME is "One Chicago" at this time. (Sidenote: "TV franchise" is not how that would be disambiguated – just "franchise" is sufficient.) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:54, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I support a move back to Chicago (franchise). I just really oppose the current title.
 * Just to answer your question about whether One Chicago is used, I believe that the official name used by NBC is One Chicago (NBC Store, used in promo and description in video on the Official Chicago Fire YouTube, also used in NBC's "ChiHard Fan Hub"). Some reliable sources also use it (TV Guide, Deadline Hollywood, Entertainment Weekly, and TV Line), you get the point. The Doctor Who  (talk) 04:25, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was thinking about this last night – "One Chicago" doesn't refer to the franchise, it refers to the night of programming! For example, from Deadline: "NBC fared the best with its new One Chicago lineup..." (emphasis mine). So, "One Chicago" actually refers to NBC's current Wednesday night primetime schedule – IOW, it's a programming label like "Must See TV"... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 11:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * NBC advertises the one night of programming as "Chicago Wednesdays". Although that wouldn't be a good name since this is the first season that has ever been done.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  17:13, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That's now (so apparently NBC has changed it). But NBC first started calling that lineup "One Chicago", back in the summer IIRC... But that just further supports the idea that this article should not be at "One Chicago", no matter what – absolutely not the WP:COMMONNAME for this franchise. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:49, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose and support move back to Chicago (franchise). Per above. BattleshipMan (talk) 04:56, 9 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose, and support move back to Chicago (franchise). As indicated by "One Chicago" to  night of programming, not the franchise itself. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:13, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy close with revert to prior title - supporters of "One Chicago" can then put forth a new move request not tainted by the recent move. -- Netoholic @ 21:29, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose, and support move back to Chicago (franchise) There is no reason to change the franchise name to the programming title given to a schedule block.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:43, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Crossover table
So I've been thinking about how messy the crossover table has recently become so I put together a table using Template:Episode table, Template:Episode list, Template:Episode table/part, that I think would be a reasonable replacement to the current table. This is not a complete table but just what I threw together that consists of a backdoor pilot, two-part crossover, and three-part crossover so that everyone can get a general idea of what the table would look like if implemented with all crossovers:

Alternatively, if anyone thinks that version of the table would get too long the episode dropped in place of section links to the respective episode on the season article or the link to crossover article, if one exists, like in the case of "Infection." If we take that route the table would look like this:

If anyone sees a major flaw in either of these proposals I'm sure that something could be created using Template:Episode list/Serials (either with or without a general summary) but it seemed a bit limited in the means of providing episode and season numbers to me. In the process I propose that we also remove the guest appearances from the table to condense it to just backdoor pilots and major crossover events. Just wanted to get others thoughts, comments, pros, cons, etc. before implementing it. Thanks! The Doctor Who (talk) 18:05, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Crossovers section mentioning Law & Order, not L&O SVU
Hi,

When I was browsing the "Crossovers" section, I've noticed that it's mentioning Law & Order in a 2017 and later crossover, not Law & Order SVU. As Law & Order ended in 2010, shouldn't it be Law & Order SVU?

Thanks! Antivirtel (talk) 21:17, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Chicago fire Multiple alarm
I’m retired assistant chief for the Columbus division of Fire. I just watched Chicago fire Saturday when they had a multiple alarm fire it brought back a lot of great memories. It wasn’t really really authentic, but it was close. I could feel the tension and the frustration. It was outstanding. I really really enjoyed it and I just wanted to say this it was great. Had a five alarm fire once in Columbus with the largest they’ve ever had and I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed by the big bad fire, you guys are doing a great job. Keep it up. Thank you. 2603:6011:B903:5804:E535:8955:F8C3:3C7F (talk) 00:06, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
