The first sentence of the article mentions that Branning is an "upcoming" character - therefore, it's a future event, and the {{future}} tag is appropriate prior to airing. Has this character already appeared onscreen? B.Wind 18:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
No, but the tag suggests that the article is a rumour, which it is not, and I don't believe that the information provided is likely to "dramatically change", as mentioned in said tag. I don't believe this to be the appropriate tag for theses articles. Trampikey 18:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- It says it may contain rumour, but more importantly, it emphasizes that it is a future event that is subject to change. There has been ample precedent of television casting changes - and entire episode deletions - prior to scheduled broadcast. For that reason, the {{future}} tag is most appropriate. If all go to plan, these will be rendered moot soon enough. B.Wind 18:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
The episode in which this certain character first appears has been filmed and is ready to be shown on 27 June 2006. It is not subject to change, it is not a rumour, it is confirmed by the BBC site, therefore the tag is not needed. Trampikey 18:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Then I'd recommend updating the articles to reflect that status. This will make things much smoother for the articles... and you. Put in the scheduled "arrival date," just to clinch it. Two weeks will pass very quickly. B.Wind 19:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
