DuckTales a fantasy or not

If anyone here is a DuckTales fan like me, please answer this. Does the show and its upcoming reboot series qualifies as a fantasy television series? Someone removed the fantasy genre and the categories from the articles without an explanation. The show doesn't just focus on action, adventure, and mystery, it also focuses on fantasy and science fiction just like Indiana Jones. If any of you have time to look into this situation, please do. If not, then I shall except it as a non-fantasy show. — FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 08:34, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Is there anything in the show that makes it distinctly fantasy, like magic and spells? Or it purely because the characters are anthromorphic ducks? You can add it back in if it's going to be like Relic Hunter AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:16, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

As with everything on WikiP it does not matter what we think it is - see WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. What matters is what reliable sources state - see WP:CATDEF as well. If you can find sources to support the genre and categories then they can be re-added - if they can't be found then they do not belong in the article. MarnetteD|Talk 17:01, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The character Magica De Spell and encounters with her deals with magic and spells, but I wouldn't call one of the prevailing genres for the show "fantasy". I would call it, "Action", "Adventure", and "Mystery". The fantasy elements could be covered elsewhere in the article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Additional input on a discussion regarding a cast list

Discussion at Star Trek: Discovery on cast section formatting

There is currently an RfC at Talk:Star Trek: Discovery#RfC on "Cast and character" formatting that will have an effect on a large number of TV articles, regarding the formatting of 'Cast and characters' sections in which content is moved to a new line after it gets to a certain length. Input from other editors, especially those who have used the disputed formatting at other articles, would be greatly appreciated. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:52, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Given that the discussion is there and not here, will the RfC dictate the content of only that article, or every television article? I've already given my vote for "for". Perhaps this would be best to raise in the MOS-overhaul discussion (when that section comes up) and get it formally introduced into the MOS. Alex|The|Whovian^? 23:05, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Confusion

If a TV series was release on DVD physicallly, then they should've received a press release from their studio. If not, then that title will be billed as a manufacture on demand title that's sold online. So for the last time, stop mistakening the mod titles as actual DVD covers. Several TV shows included a poster or digital cover on the page if their DVD is a mod title. Always check on TVShowsonDVD to see if that DVD is either a physical release or a manufacture on demand title. But don't let that fool you cause there maybe some changes. Look at the eleventh season of It's Always Sunny for an example. It was going to be released on DVD before it was switched to manufacture on demand at the last minute.

Quality of Firefly (TV series)

I made a recent discussion at Talk:Firefly (TV series) about the quality of the article, Firefly (TV series), which is current the FA. This article may need improvements. I've not yet started the FAR because I can tolerate some time allowance. --George Ho (talk) 00:37, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Links in Infobox television season

I'd like to restart an incomplete discussion that Adamstom.97 started in December 2015, which can be seen at Template talk:Infobox television season/Archive 4 § Other season links, specifically here as it will generate more views and opinions.

Should the usage and documentation of {{Infobox television season}} be updated to allow redirects to be linked as previous/next seasons, when the redirect is to a specific section regarding the previous/next season? As for supporting examples... The infobox at Arrow (season 2) could link Arrow (season 3) as its next season, even though it is a redirect, but it is a redirect to List of Arrow episodes#Season 3 (2014–15), a specific section regarding Season 3. However, the infobox at Vikings (season 4) shouldn't link Vikings (season 5) as its next season, as the latter article redirects to List of Vikings episodes, with no such specific section for Season 5. Thoughts? Alex|The|Whovian^? 03:35, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Support We should be guiding readers to the content if it exists, even if only as sections of LoEs. However, the Vikings example is correct, as we should not link to season 5 content since none yet exists. If/when it does, then the link should appear in the infobox. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:34, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Support As was my thinking when I started this discussion, our guidelines allow a new section at a LoEs if the content warrants it, so if we have a season 1 article and then enough content for a season 2 LoE section, it seems logical to link between those sets of content. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Draft:List of Meet The Press episodes

Anyone want to help with the article Draft:List of Meet The Press episodes? I'm not entirely certain that this would really merit an article, given how many episodes the series has had (over 10K!) but I thought it should at least get looked at by someone who is more familiar with and into TV related articles.
