Talk:List of LGBT-related films by year

"Alphabetical listing"

In every section, it says to add a movie to the "ALPHABETICAL LISTING ABOVE" as well when adding a movie, yet there is no alphabetical listing in this article. Suggest removal of these embedded instructions. Softlavender (talk) 06:16, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Table breakdown

I broke down the single large table into smaller sub-tables largely by decade. We might want to think about splitting this further into centuries or even decades. I Want My GayTV (talk) 01:40, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I can see why you have done this but I'm not convinced that it is an improvement as the whole list is no longer sortable (eg. by title, director), other than within the decade. If they are all on one page, it makes sense to be able to sort them whichever way you like. I would however support splitting the page into smaller articles, as other film lists have been, since this list is very big at the moment. If you plan on doing so, it might be worth dropping a note to the film project to see if anyone has any opinions; I'm not sure how many people actively watch this talkpage. You might also want to compare to existing lists that have already been split, eg. List of French films, List of crime films. --BelovedFreak 16:09, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I've begun to split it out by year/decade. 180k for a page size was far too big. This now mirrors country specific lists (British films, French films, etc). Lugnuts ^{And the horse} 11:37, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Although I appreciate your intention for doing this, I believe the 180k size is not a problem for a list in the way it would be for an article of prose. In fact, I now think many people will find assaying the chronology of these films a lot more complicated. I'm open to two avenues of redressing this now urgent dilemma: Either we go back to the old one-page format, or we create a new comprehensive page, visually and functionally comparable to the old page, however, technically achieved through transcluding the small lists. __meco (talk) 11:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

I can appreciate the amount of effort by Lugnuts, however, I'm not sure if I was looking for something by date I could not hit it within a year or two. Personally I would not want to be clicking through the years, I'm doing that in real life. I think I could definitely hit a date within a decade, which would require two clicks at the most. My suggestion is to use Collapsible tables (Help:Collapsing) by decade with everything on one page. We would have 1950's, 1960's, etc. in each collasped bar. When expanded, one decade of scrolling should not be a big task for anyone. I could maybe help a bit and can put it on my "List of things to do this decade". --  :- ) Don 14:52, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Moving this page and associated pages to "List of LGBT films by year"

I have reviewed WP:RMUM before moving.

• No article exists at the new target title;
  • Y
• There has not been any discussion (especially recent discussion) about the title for the page that expresses disagreement with the new target title;
  • None.
• And it seems unlikely anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.
  • Given that most articles use the abbreviated "LGBT" (854 results) instead of "lesbian, gay, bisexual..." (91 results), and the larger list that this is an offshoot of uses "LBGT", it seem completely uncontroversial. LBGT is less verbose, but still completely understandable.

If anyone disagrees with this change, I will revert the moves, but I would recommend starting a discussion at WP:RM first. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 14:37, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
