Concerning the issue at the Texas Chainsaw 3D page...
The term "installment" is a term that is constantly used when discussing serial fiction. Look at the Star Trek, Halloween, Friday The 13th, Saw, Scream, Shrek, Ice Age or Toy Story films just to name a few.

The film also ignores previous sequels and is a reboot by definition. I don't even know why this is being reverted.--DesignDeath (talk) 17:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * First, "installment" is not a professional term. It's a colloquial term, meaning that it's not a formal word used. The fact that those other pages use it (which by the way, you added it to those pages) is neither here nor there. It shouldn't be there either. Articles on Wikipedia are supposed to be written with a professional standard, and the use of "installment" or "movie" is not considered professional writing.


 * As for the reboot bit. I told you, but definition, rebooting means you ignore previous films. So the fact that you want to actually say, "it ignores the previous films" is redundant because the definition of a reboot means that thing.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  17:49, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * "Which by the way, you added it to those pages" Did I? Almost every single article about a sequel on this website uses the word "installment" when referring to its position in a series, and I added them all? I added it to the Star Trek Into Darkness article only if I recall, so this accusation is quite frankly ridiculous and immature. "Installment" is a widely used term by audiences, filmmakers and critics and it is not deemed "unprofessional" by anyone other than you. It's not a word I made up. "Entry" is also a usable word that has the same meaning, however "film" can't suffice. --DesignDeath (talk) 18:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, you're partially right. My use of "all of them" was a bit heavy handed, but I've been watching you add them to many articles over the past few months ( see here:, , , , ). It wouldn't be hard to find all the pages you've added to it, but I'll save myself the trouble and just say it suffices that you're adding it. Maybe not every instances, but you're doing it. As for the word, it's still colloquial. Not "formal" does not mean "not widely used". "Movie" is used by everyone, but it's widely accepted that "film" is the more professional way of writing the descriptor. See the conversations on the FILM MOS/WIKIPROJECT talk pages. What is not formal does not mean it's not widely used. The term "entry" is less colloquial.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  19:29, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * You're right, "movie" is not a formal word and should be replaced with "film". However, "installment" does not have a "formal" equivalent that can replace it. It's not a slang of some sort, nor does it mean the same thing the word "film" does. When discussing serial fiction, the word "installment" is a perfectly valid word.--DesignDeath (talk) 10:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)


 * No equivalent? If I said, "Skyfall is the 22nd film in the James Bond franchise", that's the same thing. It's much clearer, and professionally written. Again, don't misrepresent what it means to be colloquial. I didn't say "slang", I said it wasn't formal. There is a difference. When you're trying to have it be the first descriptor of the film, it's even more inappropriate. It might be one thing if you're being a bit more informal in the body of the article, but definitely not in the lead when you're just starting. There's no one you could overuse the word "film" so often in the lead that it needs a subsititute.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  14:38, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
