Repurposing this template

[edit]

With the reboot looming, I think the best way forward is to convert this navbox to a generic, all-encompassing DC Studios template, including those from Category:DC Comics drafts and the Batman subcat. InfiniteNexus (talk) 16:29, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support such a transition as it would be a more structured way to navigate all of the drafts. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm hearing rumors that this may not be a full reboot after all, but even if that ends up being the case there's no harm in this change. InfiniteNexus (talk) 16:43, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, regardless of the notion of rebooting, this change would allow us to supervise more of the DC drafts. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:46, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I also took the liberty to reorganize the template, feel free to make additional adjustments. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:58, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is there potentially a way that we can toggle the DCEU drafts cat from being added to not for the Elseworlds projects? Because we surely don't want The Batman - Part II to be automatically added to the DCEU drafts cat but still want this template there. Trailblazer101 (talk) 08:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We should probably stop adding that automatically. Articles on this template are a mixture of DCU, DCEU, Elseworlds, and even other things. - adamstom97 (talk) 09:11, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the cat and ensured it is manually in use on the relevant drafts. Trailblazer101 (talk) 10:57, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

James Gunn's TV series

[edit]

I think Draft:Waller (TV series), Draft:Untitled The Suicide Squad spin-off series, and Draft:Untitled James Gunn DC television series may all be the same thing. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:58, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@InfiniteNexus: the latter two I think are Creature Commandos. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:45, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gunn did state that the SS spin-off was not the Waller one last year. I concur with Favre that the latter two could be Creature Commandos. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I didn't know that. In that case, let's merge those two pages with Draft:Creature Commandos (TV series). InfiniteNexus (talk) 07:56, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A WP:HISTMERGE is probably also needed, because each of the untitled have been created before the Creature Commandos draft. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:26, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would say a histmerge would be ideal. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:29, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, a histmerge will not work, per WP:PHIST. InfiniteNexus (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then we should just merge and put {{Copied}} on the talk page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:25, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I support this approach. Trailblazer101 (talk) 09:32, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced that Creature Commandos is the other The Suicide Squad spin-off that Gunn was planning before the takeover. I haven't seen any indication that it existed before the DCU planning started (and we know Gunn basically wrote it all in the last couple of months, which doesn't seem to align with the "working heavily" on it comment). It does have some connections to The Suicide Squad but I also wouldn't describe it as being based on a character from The Suicide Squad per the information we have now. I think we should be assuming that these are two separate series until we get confirmation otherwise. - adamstom97 (talk) 19:36, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mhm, you bring up a good point I didn't really think about before. Above the Line (which was present for the press day) said in their article that the Bride of Frankenstein will be positioned as the series' lead, so that would actually mean those two are not the same. Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Based on what was in each draft, I read into them both being Creature Commandos. But if others feel that's not the case, they are just redirects and can be restored easily. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:38, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unless anyone objects, I think we should restore Draft:Untitled The Suicide Squad spin-off series for now (we don't need both). - adamstom97 (talk) 23:27, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No objection from me. -- Zoo (talk) 23:36, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That works for me. As per usual, things change and we can always adapt. Trailblazer101 (talk) 03:04, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have made this change. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:06, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
