| Jan 19, 2012 at 18:31 | comment | added | iandotkelly Mod | @ChristianRau - hopefully not, and given that TV buffs is not exactly racing towards a beta - I suspect that this will not be the case | |
| Jan 19, 2012 at 18:30 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | @iandotkelly I can (and now must), too. Let's just hope it doesn't turn into a TV-only site (regarding the question ratio). | |
| Jan 19, 2012 at 18:27 | comment | added | iandotkelly Mod | @ChristianRau - I can sympathize with your point of view here - my preferred choice would be 2 separate thriving sites. However we are hardly buried in questions here ... under 5 questions a day, and far below a target of 1,500 visits a day. Yes I know we are under 2 months into a beta - but even extrapolating from that point. Personally, the community view is what I am listening to - I would prefer a dedicated movies site - I can live with (and enjoy) a Movies and TV site. | |
| Jan 19, 2012 at 17:51 | comment | added | Napoleon Wilson | Wait, what happened? Oh no! Good bye to the TV-site. It's a pitty we won't ever get two dedicated sites now and are punished with an overwhelmingly large scope to cover. But well, the mods (and maybe the community) have spoken. | |

| Jan 13, 2012 at 16:54 | comment | added | Laura Staff | @phwd I don't think I'm opposed to the idea of a cw of off-topic stuff, but new sites struggle with meta participation as they gain new users anyway...asking new users to read both a FAQ and a meta thread listing off-topic questions is...unrealistic, methinks. Might be worth a try, though. | |

| Jan 13, 2012 at 1:28 | comment | added | phwd | @laura I would not mind a mega cw list of questions that are off topic in a similar fashion to the area 51 off topic questions feature | |
| Jan 13, 2012 at 1:26 | comment | added | phwd | @laura agreed understood that it shows example but as you and I know the closed questions are not permanent. It's the job of the moderator to ensure the closed questions get cleaned up. There needs to be a better way to display what is off-topic and if that means making a few general templates out of the closed questions would be better. A new user is not going to have experience to search for closed questions. | |
| Jan 13, 2012 at 1:16 | comment | added | Laura Staff | In general, I agree with you, @phwd. However, if there is a question that is a great example of something that is off-topic but the community expects to be a recurring problem, it makes sense to leave it as closed. As you said, they will be auto-deleted eventually anyway, but before that happens, they can discourage people from posting similar bad or off-topic questions. | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 22:48 | comment | added | phwd | What @Laura said is incorrect. It's right there in the FAQ: movies.stackexchange.com/faq#close. Closed questions are the transition period for users to edit their questions for a chance to reopen or migrate and if not queue for deletion. The SE scripts come along after a while and delete closed questions They are not left on the site for new users to see that's what your FAQ and your extended meta FAQ-tagged questions are for. | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 22:19 | comment | added | Laura Staff | @Gilles Disagree about leaving questions closed and not deleted. If the whole front page is a list of closed questions, yes, it's unfriendly. But that shouldn't happen on any healthy SE site. Closed questions that remain visible are a way to expressly note questions that are likely to appear and then promptly get shut down. Far easier to let users see that certain questions get closed than to have to close dozens of similar questions in the future. | |

| Jan 12, 2012 at 18:54 | comment | added | Tablemaker Mod | Agreed. Also, if you find them without the 'TV-Series' tag, please tag them with this. | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 18:30 | comment | added | DForck42 Mod | btw, if you see a tv-series question, please add a link to this particular discussion so we can filter as many people here as possible | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 14:24 | comment | added | DForck42 Mod | ok, so tv mini series are out (band of brothers) | |

| Jan 12, 2012 at 6:50 | comment | added | DForck42 Mod | could you define what you mean by serial tv movies? | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 2:29 | comment | added | Tablemaker Mod | (In regards to keeping closed questions) If that is how it should be, then that is how it will have to be then :) | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 2:28 | comment | added | Tablemaker Mod | Also, if we want to ask TV questions, I think everyone interested in TV questions should be committed (if you're already on this site, helping answering these, or commenting) or be pointed to the A51 topic on TV Buffs. | |

| Jan 12, 2012 at 2:25 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | Do not plan to leave questions closed (except as duplicates) but not deleted. Either the questions belong here and should be open, or do not belong here and should be deleted. Closed questions frustrate would-be answerers and give a wrong impression of the site. | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 2:12 | comment | added | Tablemaker Mod | None at the moment because the community has been divided on this topic, hence this meta question to define, once this is defined what is and is not on topic, then we will purge/close TV questions (the intention is not to delete them, because they will be useful when TV buffs comes into beta) | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 2:10 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | Well, how many of them are closed as off-topic? How many of them have off-topic votes? | |
| Jan 12, 2012 at 2:03 | comment | added | Tablemaker Mod | WE have a bunch of questions already on the site, answered even. Its not a matter of them being good questions or being answerable, it's a matter of them being on-topic for a movies site. | |

| Jan 11, 2012 at 22:48 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | Sure, it's time for a decision, but the community is split. What are you basing the decision on? Ideally, there should be a few test questions, and we should evaluate the community's response (how many votes to close? How many votes to reopen? Outcome of meta discussions on specific examples). What was the community response to TV questions asked here? | |

| Dec 19, 2011 at 1:07 | comment | added | phwd | @Gilles The disagreement has gone on long enough and I am not really seeing an end. | |
| Dec 19, 2011 at 1:06 | comment | added | phwd | @Gilles The most up voted answer is for series to be on-topic yet there is strong disagreement against so I think there (in the near future) will never be consensus. Both sides have valid points and I think the only way to deal with this would be to move on with the life of this site with a focused scope on Movies. We need our FAQ fixed up, not hanging around meta. So as I said above I propose we draw the line for just Movies so that we can get our scope in order. | |
| Dec 18, 2011 at 18:59 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @iandotkelly But “merging with TV” means accepting TV questions here! It's not that this site excludes TV until some external event happens, it's that this site will or will not exclude TV depending on what this site's community decides. | |
| Dec 18, 2011 at 11:24 | comment | added | iandotkelly Mod | @Gilles: That's not how I read that answer at all - I read it as "we should merge with tv, but until then or if that does not happen then TV series are off-topic here" | |
| Dec 17, 2011 at 22:02 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | Wait, what consensus? The most upvoted answer on the relevant question is that TV series should be on-topic here. | |

| Dec 15, 2011 at 2:20 | comment | added | Shog9 | They're all just "moving pictures", right? At least, so long as you use a projector to watch them. Because a TV is actually millions and millions of little screens all lying to you while you passively take it in. </PoetLies> | |

| Dec 2, 2011 at 5:06 | comment | added | Flimzy | @Mnementh: It's 28 minutes long... that's not a very long movie :) I think most people call that a "short film" | |

| Dec 1, 2011 at 0:08 | comment | added | Mnementh | I don't know the first two mentioned, but Chris Marker's La Jetée for sure is a movie. To the original question: another grey zone are tv-movies in multiple parts (mini-series), I think for example about "Wild Palms". | |
| Nov 30, 2011 at 23:54 | comment | added | Flimzy | Are Mein Kampf, Peluca, or La jetée movies? I don't think most people would consider them to be movies; nor TV programs. "Films" probably... | |
| Nov 30, 2011 at 23:50 | comment | added | Vic Goldfeld | They're not considered movies? Is there difference between 'movie' and 'film'? I'd definitely consider them film--for me it's anything for which the more natural medium is the big screen. | |
| Nov 30, 2011 at 23:42 | comment | added | Flimzy | There are also non-movie non-TV video productions that we might want to consider. Documentaries, shorts, etc. | |
| Nov 30, 2011 at 23:29 | comment | added | Flimzy | There are the additional overlapping areas of films based on television programs and television programs based on films |
