Can Planned by be added as parameter? Or can we continue using "Created by" and "Developed by"? The South Korean infobox has it and a lot of articles (TV series articles) use it. Manly, a planner is a production manager that oversees the production company and help it plan the work. He is not part of the production company or it is an entire different company that help plan everything before the production company start shooting. So far people have been using "Created by" and "Developed by" since there is no "Planned by". May question is, which is the correct parameter for this? CherryPie94 (talk)

Shouldn't Stage designer or scenic designer be included in the template? Ali Pirhayati (talk) 08:40, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a thing that is used in most programs from my experience. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:26, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think all the TV shows have a scenic designer. Ali Pirhayati (talk) 15:35, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: Add |episode_list= as an alternative to |list_episodes= so all 3 television infoboxes (this, {{Infobox television season}} and {{Infobox television episode}}) use the same parameter name, making usage easier for editors (as editors won't need to learn/remember which parameter name is used where), and will make it easier when converting infobox from series->season or season->series. This parameter should also be the one shown in the documentation as while support for the previous one should still exist, it should be discouraged for the benefits given above. --Gonnym (talk) 11:45, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This infobox is used in 47,000 articles while the other two are used in just under 17,000 so it be more logical to make those templates comply with this than the other way around. I thought we had actually done that some time ago. I remember a discussion. --AussieLegend (✉) 11:57, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the parameter name of "episode_list" is more clear than "list_episodes", but if that is the only contention point and you think the other is better, I'm ok with going the other way. --Gonnym (talk) 12:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a followup, while this template is used much more than the other 2, it only has 3240 uses of this parameter, while the other two have 3421 and 8759 - so far less uses. --Gonnym (talk) 12:23, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

narrator vs narrated

While we're on the subject, I noticed that this uses |narrated=, while {{Infobox episode}} uses |narrator=. Most of the "job" titles are in the latter's style (director, creator, developer, presenter, executive_producer) so this would also benift in changing to fit the style of other job titles and the other infobox. --Gonnym (talk) 12:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry and I'm going to be completely blunt But I don't like the way that last_aired is used.

Yes, The infobox is ONLY supposed to show when the program started and when it ended and not supposed to detail the entire history. However, I feel that it is discriminatory Seriously it's like dismissing them as not revivals but just new seasons when they had been off the air for decades.

I just don't see the reason to just have it in that format.--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 20:49, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• For the record I have explained to AnimeDisneylover95 how first_aired and last_aired are supposed to be used at Talk:Will & Grace#Revival series conflict and on his talk page. --AussieLegend (✉) 20:58, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And as AussieLegend said to me, he suggested that If I don't agree with what's happening, I take it to this talk page. As I said before, I feel that it is discriminatory Seriously it's like dismissing them as not revivals but just new seasons when they had been off the air for decades. In the examples I'm putting the first section works, but the second no thank you:
