[edit] Resident Evil (film) issue
- What? Why is Resident Evil in this? Just because a character is named Alice? --Hotdoglives 08:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Read the film plot more carefully! There are a number of references to the Carroll's Alice Universe, including Red Queen and her behaviour to behead people; white rabbit used for testing the T-Virus; the wall that opens to the train station appears as a mirror; etc. Also see Alice's Adventures in Wonderland#Cinematic adaptations.
- My point is that the film fits perfectly in the section "Other related media", but if you insist we can move the literary films into the new "Media" (or "Media, based on the Lewis Carroll books") section of the template. If the name of the film is different from just plain "Alice" it's not the reason to exclude it. --Yuriy Lapitskiy 10:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't realize it had that many references to the Alice universe (I haven't seen the movie for a while). But it still seems strange to include in the template. I think it belongs best just on the Works influenced by Alice in Wonderland page. I think only works that are direct adaptations of something by Lewis Carroll belong on the template. --Hotdoglives 06:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- I doubt that we need a separate template for, as you say, the "works influenced by Alice in Wonderland". A separate section within this template will be enough - I've just done that (moved R. Evil with some other films to a separate section). --Yuriy Lapitskiy 14:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Related Media
Right now, all the works listed under "other related media" are films. Should the label be changed to "film versions" or something to more closely reflect that? faithx5 16:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I'd say that this particular part of the template could be listed as "Film adaptations". Naturally, there are other films which draw influence from Alice, but they wouldn't necessarily be considered direct adaptations, unlike the films titled Alice in Wonderland. — ArkansasTraveler 18:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Universe" -> "books" substitution
I doubt it was correct - the template is not purely about books, but about the films etc. --Yuriy Lapitskiy 13:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
