Who can't we add to the genre of this article computer animated superhero comedy film? Aaeliaba (talk) 22:48, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia film articles are supposed to add the primary genre. Not every possible genre is included, so while some people may include this film in the superhero genre that might not be what reliable sources are suggesting is the primary genre. -- 109.76.139.121 (talk) 18:04, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so if a movie about a hedgehog with super speed shouldn’t be classified as a superhero film, what SHOULD it be classified as? MrWii000 (talk) 17:17, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to gain a consensus to add Ben Schwartz and Tika Sumpter to the starring section in the infobox. They were not only listed in the billing block, but also had single-screen billing in the end credits. Plus, Schwartz plays the main character, he should deserve at least some credit.

Oppose. That's what the cast section is for. Barry Wom (talk) 11:55, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the poster doesn't have a conventional billing block at the bottom (and I can't find a poster that does or a one sheet for the film), Template:Infobox film for the "starring attribute" suggests either the film credits for starring or something determined by local consensus. WP:STATUSQUO for article has been to use the two names above the title on the poster as that is generally reserved for starring cast. See Billing (performing arts) § Top and above-title billing. I think that is a reasonable way to decide who the starring cast is for this article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:46, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't SINGLE SCREEN credit in the end or opening titles usually reflect a conventional billing block? Wouldn't it then be more sensible to use the ending titles. Sonic the Hedgehog 2's poster has a billing block, and I changed the ''Starring'' section in the infobox and lead based off that. Zingo156 (talk) 13:05, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily, it most likely reflects everyone with some significant role. It is fairly obvious who the production considers and markets as the starring cast based on the two names being listed above the title in the poster. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 also lists the starring cast at the top of the poster above the title. Even with a billing block, not every cast member listed is necessarily starring although it is usually the case. Some films list supporting cast too distinguished in some way from the starring cast usually with a smaller different font, or starring named above the title.

The consensus at WP:MCUFILMCAST(Explanatory Supplements step 4) is to use single screen credit in the ending or opening titles of a film, as seen with Spider-man: Homecoming (which the poster has both a bottom and top billing). That page is at a good article status. I don't know, it just seems more reasonable to me than putting James Marsden and Jim Carrey as the only lead actors. Zingo156 (talk) 05:45, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is for MCU articles and applies mostly to the cast list in the article body. Starring cast in the infobox is at template:Infobox film/doc and mostly pushes billing block and poster although local concensus can modify that. Even if the film credits are used they recommend only the top billed from that for the infobox. For this article I don't see a problem with using the obvious two names at the top of the poster as infobox starring as that is a fairly blatant signal from the production of who they consider starring, and the rest of the supporting cast listed in the article.

Posted something similar on Sonic 2 and 3's pages, but simply "based on the video game series" makes the first sentence end abruptly and doesn't flow well.

Which video game series? It should be obvious, but the goal is to make it as explicit and descriptive as possible without overdoing it, which this does not. If we were saying something like "based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series developed and published by Sega and created by Naoto Oshima and Yuji Naka", that'd be different. That's too much, and what we have now is too little. The point of these articles are to be read by people who want to know about the topic, not to be reread over and over again by people who already know about it. As such, it should be written with the assumption that the reader has no existing knowledge of the topic. CyberAlexMM (talk) 04:48, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
