Noticed that this category didn't exist recently when I was creating/populating Category:Action Bronson. There are three series in that category, and I think it would make sense to move them to a subcat, but since the tree doesn't exist I'm not just going to create one on its own. Since then, I've thought about why this tree doesn't exist/appears not to have ever been created before, and I couldn't think of any reason why it shouldn't. But given it's such a seemingly obvious gap, I figured it best to ask just in case anyone here has any opposing thoughts. So are there any objections?

Greetings, I am requesting a discussion concerning recent edits to The New Yankee Workshop page. WKatastrof (talk) 18:48, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've made some updates to {{Series overview}} in its sandbox and tested them through testcases; after detailing the changes below, and waiting for any opinions, I'll make them live presently. Legacy and new parameter formats will both be supported, until such a time that all live templates have had their parameters updated accordingly, at which point the legacy formats will be removed.
For ease, any parameter listed below with a "1" includes any season numbered parameter; i.e. |start1= being mentioned below means it applies also for |start2=, |start3=, etc.; also specials paramaters such as |end2S=, |end3S=, etc.; also multipart season parameters such as |released2A=, |released3B=, etc.
The changes are:
- Currently, to exclude an end date and make the start date span the whole two columns for first/last aired (i.e. the season was aired/released on the same day), you need to use
|start1=[date]|end1=start. This will be updated to simply use|released1=[date](no|end1=set). The|released1=parameter will span the two columns; separate start/end dates will continue to require|start1=and|end1=parameters. This matches the use of start vs release parameters across a multitude of television-related templates.- This applies to seasons and specials. Currently
|start1S=[date](no|end1=set) for a special will make the whole two columns for first/last aired automatically. This will no longer be the case; an end date cell will automatically be included if|start1S=is set, unless (as above),|released1S=[date]is set.
- This applies to seasons and specials. Currently
- If any part of a overview uses
|released1=[date]for a season (specials not included), the template will automatically change into the format as if the|released=yparameter was set (i.e. "Originally released"/"First released"/"Last released" columns, rather than "Originally aired"/"First aired"/"Last aired" columns).This therefore deprecates the use ofThe parameter|released=y.|released=ywill still be available, for any series that are released through a streaming format but still entirely use|start1=and|end1=parameters. - If an entire series overview uses
|released1=[date]for every season, and no|start1=and|end1=parameters, the template will automatically change into the format as if the|allreleased=yparameter was set (i.e. just one "Originally released" column, no separate "First released"/"Last released" columns). This therefore deprecates the use of|allreleased=y.
Please let me know if anyone has any feedback. If not, I'll update the code and parameters accordingly. Cheers! -- Alex_21 TALK 14:49, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- That all sounds logical to me. - adamstom97 (talk) 15:12, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Have you set tracking categories for
|end1=startso those can be converted? Gonnym (talk) 15:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply - How does it work if one season is released (weekly basis) and two seasons are aired (broadcast)? For an example, like Stargirl (TV series)#Episodes. — YoungForever(talk) 23:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- That particular template doesn't use
|released=yand uses its original "Originally aired" columns, but I do see your point. I might need to keep|released=yand still implement the second dotpoint above, so that the header still automatically updates, but|released=ycan still be used as an override in a template full of|start1=/|end1=. -- Alex_21 TALK 23:43, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply- Sometimes TV series broadcasted one new episode a weekly basis for the first season on one network and then, the second season released all episodes in one day on another network. Or vice versa. Like List of Lucifer episodes#Series overview. Would this mean that we can't change it to Originally aired"/"First aired"/"Last aired" whenever there is a
|released1=[date]parameter? — YoungForever(talk) 23:59, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply- All that is aired is by definition also released, but not all that is released is by definition also aired. So if there's any season that was "released" as opposed to "aired", even if other seasons were aired, "Originally aired" should be listed as "Originally released", as "released" covers it all. "Originally aired" should only be used in seasons that are entirely aired. -- Alex_21 TALK 00:19, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

-- Alex_21 TALK 00:27, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply- Here are two [1][2] examples of the changes that will occur. -- Alex_21 TALK 00:37, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- @Alex 21 Have you considered a PrimeBOT (Task 30) request for these? This is how I handled the radio and TV station infobox updates in 2020 (renames of parameters and later removal of slogans) and may prove immensely useful to you. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:24, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Proposal: Thinking about the use of "Originally aired" vs "Originally released", I'd actually like to propose that we just permanently stick with the latter, for both {{Series overview}} and {{Episode table}}. As I stated above, all that is aired is by definition also released, but not all that is released is by definition also aired. This would conform with {{Infobox television}}; even when we use
|first_aired=, the row it still titled "Release" (this applies to {{Infobox television season}} and "Original release" too). Thoughts? -- Alex_21 TALK 04:11, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply- I think that makes sense, and simplifies things. - adamstom97 (talk) 07:39, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Does this mean everything will be just first released and/or last released as no more first aired and/or last aired? — YoungForever(talk) 08:13, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Yeah, that's what I'm intending, unless there's any opposition to it. I just feel that "release" covers everything. -- Alex_21 TALK 08:39, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Oppose: Sometimes a TV series a co-production with two different countries have one country that broadcast a new episode on a weekly basis and another country release all episodes on one day. Having options avoid confusion to average readers. First aired/last aired on {{Series overview}} and Original air date on {{Episode table}} apply to Broadcast. Also, {{Infobox television}} still uses
|first_aired=and|last_aired=. Sometimes TV series that broadcast a new episode, release the same episode on their official website and app the very next day.— YoungForever(talk) 19:05, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
