[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)

• The table in List of films featuring extraterrestrials would be an improvement, but without the genre section or the icons. Adding those definitions could be considered original research, and smiley faces aren't too encyclopedic. Even though you created List of films featuring extraterrestrials when List of alien films already existed, I prefer List of films featuring extraterrestrials as a title as it's more in line with other lists, so List of alien films should be renamed/moved at some point.

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

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)

Oh well... after some time adding the years, I converted the list to the table format. Now it can be sorted by year or name. Any suggestions for more columns? Say, director, or something... Waldir 21:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attack of the killer tomatoes

Why is Attack of the killer tomatoes in this list the tomatoes are not aliens —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack turnip (talk • contribs)
