Reminder about WP:FILMNAV
WP:FILMNAV says, "Filmographies (and similar) of individuals should also not be included in navboxes, unless the individual concerned could be considered a primary creator of the material in question. This avoids over-proliferation of individuals' navboxes on each production's article, and avoids putting undue weight on the contributions of certain individuals over others." This means that we should not have navboxes listing writing or producing credits because these credits often have more than one person. I'm concerned that this has been ignored, judging from the bloat I see at Category:Film writer navigational boxes, which proves the point of the above guideline in creating bloat and misframing the person as the sole writer for the given set of films.

- Except writers, along with directors, are primary creators of films. Producers, definitely not, but writers? Definitely. —Joeyconnick (talk) 07:42, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Discussion at Hugh Jackman
There's a discussion at Talk:Hugh Jackman#Singer in the lead revisited about whether or not to include singer in the lead of Hugh Jackman's page. I thought that people here might want to participate in it. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 03:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Discussion about what to credit actors for at Rosie O'Donnell
There's a discussion on Talk:Rosie O'Donnell about what roles should be credited and what the requirements should be for those credits to be included. I've been told by User:ObserveOwl to ask for your guys' input on that.
I'm rather new to all this so I apologise if I've done something wrong here but it would be good to get a clear consensus on how stuff like this would work as to prevent future edit wars. ZestySourBoy (talk) 03:08, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

James Rebhorn
Not included in Films James Rebhorn James Rebhorn appeared in the 1983 film '"Brainstorm,”' where he played the character of Alex. In the movie, Alex is a scientist who works on the Project Brainstorm, an invention that can record and play back human experiences. Michael, played by Christopher Walken, confronts Alex about the project, blaming him for his son’s condition after the son inadvertently viewed a disturbing tape. Alex denies any knowledge of the project and informs Michael about the death of Gordy, another scientist involved in the project. Dr Jahoda (talk) 00:39, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you're raising this here, versus at the Talk page for Rebhorn, or even just making any changes you wish to make? DonIago (talk) 18:13, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Looking at Brainstorm (1983 film), it shows that Cliff Robertson played Alex Terson. I confirmed this in reliable sources outside of Wikipedia. I don't see any connection between this film and James Rebhorn. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 19:00, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
