[edit] merge

I suggest the proposed merging from List of films featuring extraterrestrials to bring the table format, as the recent table automatic reordering sorting functions could be used for a better usability. Waldir 17:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I know, the smileys were a silly idea :P
And yes, i agree that List of films featuring extraterrestrials is a better name. feel free to move contents from this article to there. I won't do it (not soon, at least) cause lately i've been very busy with my primary wikipedia, the portuguese one, and school stuff too. Waldir 22:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
  • OK, as it's only a small list I'll move the table here and turn List of films featuring extraterrestrials into a redirect, then request a page rename for List of alien films, so the redirect can be changed over. That seems to be the best way to do it. (The table is hidden below this comment to save space). Croxley 18:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


List of alien films → List of films featuring extraterrestrials — More accurate and encyclopedic title. Proposed title is currently a redirect to the existing title (see above merge discussion). This renaming would also conform to other existing articles and categories relating to fictional extraterrestrials such as Extraterrestrial life in popular culture, Category:Fictional extraterrestrial species, and Category:Fictional extraterrestrials.

[edit] Survey - in support of the move

  1. Support. Unless they're films made by aliens (note all the "List of (Fooian) films"). Target title is more accurate. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 10:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  2. Support, as the current title is too ambiguous. An "alien film" could very well be some Area 51-type alien sighting home video. Or made by aliens, of course. - Cyrus XIII 19:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move

  1. Oppose. New title would be overlong and people would search for alien films
  • Comment If people search for "alien films" there can be a redirect. In fact there is no article named "alien" on Wikipedia - the article is called Extraterrestrial life. Croxley 02:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 08:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] where is the table?

Is someone going to convert the list format into the table format the article under this title had before the move, as i suggested above? --Waldir 21:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
