Ok, thanks for letting me know!

Big Brother 27


Magitroopa posted 29 days ago

I'm still honestly trying to figure out how to handle what's happened with the season here... are you going through the episodes and requesting any changes that need to be made, or are you leaving it as-is at this point? As I had mentioned in the edit requests thread, as far as I can tell, episode 1-7 appear to be untouched, so I'm just unsure on how episode 8 through the rest of the season is. The episode order for the season is currently listed as 35, so it appears there might be an episode still missing currently?... I'm also thinking some guest appearances and Julie's episode appearances may need to be added/deleted throughout the episodes, but I'm not quite sure on that either.

Either way, let me know what's up/what you're doing with all this. I'm trying my best to get it all refixed up/accurate, so hopefully we (and others) can get it back to how it previously was.

Hi; I don't understand what you're talking about; I haven't been changing anything except for asking someone to add an episode of Big Brother Unlocked. The reason there should be 35 episodes is because on Aug 24th they combined 30 minutes of Big Brother Unlocked and the rest (60 minutes) was a regular show (which I don't understand why that's been changed)? If I added that wrong, I apologize, but it's confusing because they did the Big Brother Unlocked part first and then it segued into the actual episode where they played for HOH. Sorry for all the trouble!

Check out the discussion on page 1963 of the edit requests- this wasn't anything that you did, but rather when another editor had attempted adding in the BB Unlocked episodes, when they were attempted to be deleted, there were episodes that were accidentally removed since the dates/airtimes/runtimes of episodes had all been mixed around for the user trying to add the Unlocked episodes in, so there were I think 4 or 5 episodes that were accidentally deleted, and now episode images/summaries had been moved around to try and get it to be accurate again. But as I said, due to all this crazy moving around, there might be cast credits listed incorrectly on certain episodes, though I am not entirely sure what's up with it all currently.

Gender


Nivekolsen posted 2 months ago

Hello, can I ask you why you have changed many people's gender marker? Like RuPaul, Shangela, Zeke Smith, etc.? I have changed them back to the correct gender markers, but I was just wondering why you changed them to begin with?

E.g. Shangela has his pronouns listed on instagram as he/him, Zeke Smith is a trans man and has spoken at length about his gender identity - why would you assume his gender to be "Other" - which is typically reserved for non-binary and gender-nonconforming people.

fli718 posted 2 months ago

Hi, sorry I didn't know that about Shangela and Zeke Smith, but RuPaul uses both he/him & she/her pronouns (depending on whether RuPaul is in drag), so that one I wasn't sure. Sorry for all the trouble!


Nivekolsen posted 2 months ago

Gender and pronouns are not always the same thing, RuPaul uses any and all pronouns, but is still a man. Similarly, Bob The Drag Queen uses he/him and she/her pronouns, but not they/them - despite him being non-binary.

No worries.

Ok got it. Thanks for letting me know!

MasterChef contestant images


Magitroopa posted 4 months ago

FYI, there is this article with all the official contestant photos for this season of MasterChef.

Also, the images should contain the specific person the image is for, not both people (not sure why people are still doing it incorrectly for The Amazing Race...). For example, this image of Azu should be replaced with something like this.

Ok thanks for letting me know! Sorry about that! I’ll fix it when I have time (if it hasn’t been fixed already) I will keep that in mind for the futur.

future (sorry typed too fast). I'll fix it right now.

The Simpsons


TomSouthwell posted 5 months ago

As per this edit, where is this information from and why have you added 5 seasons, all that will happen is as the current season ends the status information won't be right. We don't add several seasons ahead as per data policies:

Episode Order

The amount of episodes that was ordered for this season. This should only be filled when a network explicitly announces the episode order before the start of the season. For season that have already aired, one can simply look at the season's episode list and this information will be redundant.

Premiere Year / Month

The year and month this season is set to premiere in. Since it's not allowed to add Episodes to TVmaze before they are formally announced, these properties can be used to indicate when a Show that's on hiatus will return. As with the episode order, these attributes should only be entered when they are explicitly announced ahead of time. For seasons that have already premiered, their premiere date is automatically calculated based on the first episode's airdate.


TomSouthwell posted 5 months ago

Why would we add episode orders of 15 if the site doesn't confirm it? 

According to sources, the four pickups are all for 15 episodes a season each.

Thats not a official confirmation, please tell me you haven't done the same thing across all the shows listed. 

fli718 posted 5 months ago

Hi, sorry yes I did, but after carefully rereading the policy I deleted all the episode counts (It should be reflected on American Dad, which now only has one season left for next year, but I deleted all the other ones as well). It won't happen again (from now on, I will wait until official schedules are announced from the network, which gives me an idea for when the new seasons come). Sorry for all the trouble!


Magitroopa posted 5 months ago

@JuanArango It appears this is why episode counts have been removed across so many shows today... @TomSouthwell as well, please see fli718's recent edits.

As Juan already stated on the edit requests forums:

we always keep the number of episodes ordered, no matter if they have aired already. :)

Without it, a returning status date will never show up

Looks like fli718's recent edits need to be rolled back, as now numerous shows will now longer have a returning status date to display.


Magitroopa posted 5 months ago

Should also be noted that maybe the data policies needs to be updated a bit...

The amount of episodes that was ordered for this season. This should only be filled when a network explicitly announces the episode order before the start of the season. For season that have already aired, one can simply look at the season's episode list and this information will be redundant.

This conflicts exactly with what Juan said, that the episode orders are needed for the returning status date to be shown. This is already evident enough with America's Got Talent, which premieres its new season in just a few days, but now just says "Status: Running" instead of "Status: Running; returning May 2025", as all the previous seasons' episode counts have now been removed.

fli718 posted 5 months ago

Hi yeah sorry I read the data policy and took it to mean we shouldn’t add episode count unless it was explicitly stated in a press release by the network (as with Doc on Fox). Sorry for all the trouble!


Magitroopa posted 2 months ago

@TomSouthwell @Aidan @JuanArango @RoseRed 

May need some help again here (unless I'm mistaken...) as fli718 has now removed upcoming seasons' premiere year and/or month, such as this edit on The Masked Singer, which has now entirely deleted upcoming seasons across multiple shows. I'm not sure what the exact scenario is with other shows, but as far as TMS is concerned, it was already previously announced that the next season will premiere in January, so I'm not sure at all why that information had to once again be removed.

If this is incorrect and does indeed need to be recorrected, it appears to be fli's 'Updated Season' edits from August 17-19. If it is correct, then my apologies entirely.

fli718 posted 2 months ago

Hi, my apologies. I wasn't sure if it would be wiser to just wait until the network announces the premiere date before adding new seasons because I've found out that things change a lot last minute in terms of when series/seasons premiere (such as with Watson, CIA, Einstein, and so forth). My apologies for all the trouble; please let me know what the best course of action would be for the future. Thank you!

fli718 posted 2 months ago

Sorry misread the question; I fixed Hollywood Squares as well since I know that one has been announced by CBS as coming back in January of next year. Question though (so this doesn't happen again), if a precise month and year are not given for a new season, should I put it on (because if it's just year, I found out the hard way that networks are quite flexible with it)? Please let me know. Thank you for all your help!


Aidan posted 2 months ago

One thing to keep in mind is that the site auto delete seasons with no data attached to them

So just add the with the most accurate info you have at the time. For this network stuff it's reasonable to expect a ordered season will appear the following year, and if something changes along the way we just edit it.
