Template talk:Shirley Temple

Filmography links
I have removed the filmography links based on MOSFILM: "WikiProject consensus is against including actor templates since not all actors have substantial appearances in all their films and since multiple actors in a film would overpopulate the bottom of a film article with actor templates regardless of role prominence." Please do not add these links back in. If they were the only links in the template, it would be deleted from Wikipedia, but since she is the singer of three songs a navigational template is appropriate for her songs, but not for the films she appeared in.

 * Except for the post 1940s films and the first few, all the films from Bright Eyes to The Blue Bird are Shirley Temple vehicles. They are Shirley Temple vehicles just as Duck Soup is a Marx Brothers vehicle or A Hard Day's Night is a Beatles vehicle. I have amended the template accordingly. 123.2.117.167 (talk) 14:43, 13 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It does not matter that some of her vehicle films were added, the consensus on Wikipedia is that actor filmography templates should not be included. Also, since you added that a new IP editor has added her other films, so that can be shown that it just having the "vehicle" films will be next to impossible, because someone will always try to add her other films to make the filmography complete. Instead of heeding my advice or continuing the discussion here to try and gain a new consensus, you reverted back to the filmography and then added a message here.

I guess I was initially confused by the incomplete filmography (and then annoyed that I spent the time adding it only to see it deleted) but I can see where you are coming from. User:Wabnoles1
