Template talk:Avatar (franchise)

Requested move
?

Template:Avatar (film) → ? — Actually two names to suggest. Either move to Template:James Cameron's Avatar or Template:Avatar (2009 film).


 * 1) The first reason is to disambiguate between the different films.
 * 2) The second reason as it is possible that is what the franchise may be called.
 * 3) The third reason and this is especially for the second name is because of the strong consensus at the Categories for discussion/Log/2010 January 24.

Note: If moved, i will also put the original name on RFD once links have been corrected. Simply south (talk) 20:20, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly okay with this. I'd prefer the first name though, since it is a franchise, not just a film. My reasoning behind this name was simply because Template:Avatar is already taken up by Avatar: The Last Airbender. Before the template was nominated for deletion, I was going to request consensus to move Template:Avatar to Template:Avatar: The Last Airbender and then replace Template:Avatar with this template. However, Template:James Cameron's Avatar sounds good to me. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 20:31, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


 * That should say possibly say possible franchise but it does look like one. so erm ... Simply south (talk) 20:37, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought a game and an upcoming book turned it into a franchise? -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 20:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Probably do. Okay, i'll leave it (was on reason 2). Simply south (talk) 20:46, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Use Avatar (2009 film) - it matches the article. 76.66.197.77 (talk) 05:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

 * TL'ed movereq. Please use Templates for discussion in order to discuss moving/renaming templates. Thanks. — V = I * R (talk to Ohms law) 10:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * TFD is not the appropriate place to discuss simple renaming. It primarily handles deletions and mergers. Renaming a template is no different than renaming an article. Either an editor simply moves the page, or if there is a problem with that (controversy, need for assistance), it can be taken to Requested moves. To my knowledge the only type of rename that requires XFD discussion is moving a category, because technical limitations mean that any category renaming is effectively a deletion of the old name. --RL0919 (talk) 15:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Unobtanium
Should Unobtanium really be in the navbox? It isn't unique to Avatar and a navbox for the film doesn't make sense on the article since it's about a very general topic. It would be like having a Bob Dylan navbox at the bottom of Folk Punk. The articles should be all part of a series. A wikilink inside the Avatar article itself would suffice.

Discrepancy
How is Avatar 2 still displaying, but the code has it changed to the renamed title? I’m pretty sure every page in this template still links to Avatar 2 because of this, but it can’t be changed because the code said it already changed--CreecregofLife (talk) 14:17, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
