Template talk:Rotten Tomatoes

Requested move 27 March 2022

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: No consensus. Many titles were proposed and none seemed to have consensus. Rotten Tomatoes link was a late suggestion that did have decent support so I might suggest another RM with that proposed title. Galobtter (pingó mió) 21:36, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Template:Rotten Tomatoes → Template: Rotten Tomatoes External Link – Other templates exist, i.e. Template:Rotten Tomatoes prose, Template:Cite Rotten Tomatoes, Template:Rotten Tomatoes data, so shouldn't have one with just Rotten Tomateos Indagate (talk) 07:57, 27 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Support Template:Rotten Tomatoes title per IMDb title, Hulu series, Disney+ series, etc. Gonnym (talk) 11:52, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, I oppose the proposed title. Gonnym (talk) 20:16, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Support but not "title" because for IMDb title, "title" only exists to be distinct from IMDb name, and as far as I know, there are only IMDb external link templates. With Rotten Tomatoes, we have these inline templates. I think Rotten Tomatoes external link would be best, with Rotten Tomatoes External Link and Rotten Tomatoes EL redirecting to it.

 * Support with proper capitalization, per Erik. --Quiz shows 18:15, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Support another title, but lukewarm on the proposed title. Opinions on Rotten Tomatoes ID? It literally uses the Wikidata property of the same name or asks the user to manually enter the ID per the template documentation. -2pou (talk) 02:30, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose to that as well. Category:Television external link templates and Category:Film external link templates should have more consistency in title usage. None of the templates use "id". Gonnym (talk) 04:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree that consistency in that category is important but think clarity among templates for Rotten Tomatoes is more important
 * Oppose Rotten Tomatoes ID because not clear what it does, the other templates use the RT ID Indagate (talk) 08:36, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I don't agree there is a need to rename it just because there are other Rotten Tomatoes templates. However, since most are supporting this, I do agree with User:Erik that the words "External Link" should not be capitalized in the new template name. But instead of Rotten Tomatoes external link, how about Rotten Tomatoes link? That still differentiates it from the other RT templates and is short enough to eliminate the need for new redirects like Rotten Tomatoes EL. -- Zyxw (talk) 01:20, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * "Rotten Tomatoes link" sounds good good to me. —Joeyconnick (talk) 00:59, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Rotten Tomatoes link sounds alright to me Indagate (talk) 19:15, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Category fix
Hey, please copy change from sandbox. Have copied the allias' for the name parameter to the category detector as instances may be being missed from the category because of this. Thanks, Indagate (talk) 19:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
