New boilerplate
I cloned  to make , and created a documentation file cloned from  , so I needed a new boilerplate, and I chose a single-name celebrity to make editing the name easier. :-)

Hmmm...
I have a bit of a problem with restricting it to just films with existing articles. When I create a new film section (e.g. Sig Ruman), I start with those, but also comb through IMDb and add films that have been seen by a significant no. of people and/or are highly rated. Then, when time allows, I create stubs. In the meantime, at least the reader is made aware of noteworthy entries and dates. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it's every editor's individual choice, of course ... I happen to be a deletionist, so I tend to favor the restrictive view, and feel that the supplied links to IMDb, TCM, and other data bases are sufficient. :-) ... Happy Editing! &mdash;  10:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Testing TV Guide person

TfD nomination of Template:Selected filmography
Template:Selected filmography has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 23:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I chose not to participate in the TfD … I archived a copy at User talk:The Bipolar Anon-IP Gnome/Selected filmography … I probably will never use it again, but on articles where I would have used it, I'll just ping Garion96 to complete/organize/link the list under Filmography :-)


 * I guess that I assumed that lack of opposition implied consensus (as per WP:BOLD), but I also accept that consensus can change over time … it lived in Template space and I used it for a little over a year before anyone objected … the TfD occurred as I was transitioning from the High to Low phase of my cycle, so I just userfied it and went into hibernation mode … BTW, I updated the link for the TfD discussion to the archived copy as well … I'm glad to see that Some Other Editor agreed with me at the TfD. :-) … Happy Editing! &mdash;  12:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Red links
See Wikipedia Signpost/2009-01-31/Orphans. Removing red links is hurting wikipedia. Plus I would gain consensus regarding trimmin filmographies. Right now there isn't. Garion96 (talk) 11:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
