2022 film

[edit]

The Price of Family was released on 19 December 2022 in Italian-speaking regions. Shouldn't it be in the 2022 list?--Alienautic (talk) 18:09, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone has nothing to say about it, I'm going to move it.--Alienautic (talk) 19:13, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent move

[edit]

Hi Seprentyu... for future reference, you did this move wrong as now List of Netflix original films (2023) has barely any history and that page's history is now all here. Next time, please move List of Netflix original films (since 2024) to List of Netflix original films (2024) at the appropriate time and start a new article for the actual new article (i.e. List of Netflix original films (since 2025)). —Joeyconnick (talk) 00:39, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Joeyconnick I agree with you. Either the move should be reverted and the List of Netflix original films (2023) should be deleted or merge the history of this article to the newly created list article I mentioned. ♒️ 98TIGERIUS 🐯 03:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, noted. I was just following the practice that its always the last page chronologically that should have the edit history (due to all the upcoming programming). I was told once that doing it the other way around (so creating a new page for 2024 and moving all data there) is a cut and paste move and is not allowed. Or do you suggest to wait until Jan 1, 2025 next time and only then make the move? Seprentyu (talk) 09:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

posting this here as I assume this page has the most people watching it/engaged:

User Seprentyu has recently changed the long-standing format of this and several related pages:

to list a film's release date as the first column.

The pages are literally called "List of Netflix films", not "List of release dates of Netflix films". The key element is the title of each film... when they were released is interesting information but their year of release is already given by which article they are part of. It should be included but it should not be the first thing a reader sees.

I reversed this change to the long-standing format, made without any discussion with other editors, although I did keep the change from "Premiere" to "Release date" that was concurrently made as that is an improvement. User Seprentyu has reinstated their changes on the above pages by reverting me (except on this particular article, as of the time of my writing this).

I'd ask that they undo their reversions and restore the existing consensus format and then, if they really feel they have a case for why listing the release date first in an article about a list of films is somehow the more logical format (it's not), then they can make their case here and we can figure out if there's a consensus for that or if it's just a case of one editor's preferences. —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:12, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much every single "list of ... films" page lists release date in the first column - just picking a few for demonstration:
And why wouldn't they, sorting them alphabetically or by any other value makes no sense and would be arbitrary. Films are sorted by release date anyway even on the Netflix pages too, so what's even the logic in having the value by which the table is sorted by default as second column?
Also there was no solid status quo regarding this matter as the List of Netflix exclusive international distribution films has been already listing release date as the first column for years. I was merely standardizing the approach. Seprentyu (talk) 21:23, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not talking about the sorting order. Release date is fine there, although I do think we could sort them by title just as justifiably. I'm talking about the order of the columns. Again, the article is not "List of Netflix original film release dates". However the various rows are sorted, the list is listing films and therefore the film title should be first.
There's no requirement for any table to be sorted by its first column values.
And since "Title" as the first column was the status quo for years for... what was it? Six? Seven articles? I don't think "well one of the Netflix articles was in this other format so that justifies moving 6 or 7 others to the same format" is a particularly strong argument. —Joeyconnick (talk) 03:59, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no requirement for a table to be sorted by first column values, but it sure is logical to do so, isnt it? Also when I said I was standardizing the pages, I meant that I was aligning it to the structure that 90% of film list pages use (and also the Netflix exclusive film page used). I think one of the main objectives of Wikipedia is to work out and spread clear and universal best practices or standards (which can later become even requirements if universally acccepted), because that makes editing predictable and calculable and more attractive for new people to join, because they can rely on these standards. We could always keep these Netflix film list pages different like the Marvel film list page which is run by a close circle and is weird and totally unresponsive to any change, but why make these pages a reservation?
