The crew in question[edit]

Please explain to me why the people who founded this franchise don't get the navbox on their individual pages? You assholes should take away the navbox from every member of Def Leppard on their individual pages.Go alphabetical, take it away from Rick Allen first. Apply your jerkoff logic to the people who make up that band, because the same idiotic mindset is in place here as it would be there.--68.192.236.111 (talk) 15:38, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As was explained on your talk page, this is governed by WP:PERFNAV which says, rather clearly "Avoid adding performances of entertainers into the navboxes for the productions that they appeared in, or crew members into navboxes for the productions they worked on. This includes, but is not limited to actors/actresses, comedians, television/radio presenters, writers, composers, etc. This avoids over-proliferation of navigation templates at the bottom of performers' articles, and avoids putting WP:UNDUE weight on certain performances of an entertainer over others." In the case of Dick Wolf, his page already includes {{Dick Wolf}} which lists the programs that he has created. Please also note that when communicating with other editors you should be civil and refrain from personal attacks. Comment on content, not on contributors. --AussieLegend () 15:46, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you can't justify the prohibition on the Chicago (franchise) navboxes appearing on the producers' pages because it makes no sense. You have the Judas Priest box on the page for Simon Phillips but he was only a session drummer for a single record, Sin After Sin. We are talking about the half dozen men who are responsible for this franchise who unlike Mr. Phillips, are still involved in the operation of the series attached. The box is going back on their pages. Removal by anby of you and I will get a lawyer involved and sue Wikipedia for harassment.--68.192.236.111 (talk) 16:13, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not it makes sense to you, we don't include cast and crew in navboxes and we don't include navboxes on pages when there is no link in the navbox to that page. Navboxes provide navigation between related articles. They are dead ends. As for your threat of legal action, I suggest that you familiarise yourself with Wikipedia:No legal threats. --AussieLegend () 16:20, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just noting that 68.192.236.111 has been blocked for 1 year for making legal threats so this discussion is pretty much ended. --AussieLegend () 02:43, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy[edit]

Since the box says Chicago franchise at the top, we do not need Chicago before every show title, it's well understood.--130.156.22.250 (talk) 17:21, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
