Fork?

This list is getting quite long. Should we consider forking some content, and if so, which? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:56, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would a split happen on 5 year intervals? Or by genre?--Fradio71 (talk) 09:09, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer a split on genre, and perhaps the section Children and family could be moved into its own list? --Thornstrom (talk) 14:53, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can we revisit this, please? This list is too long. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:59, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please. Way too long, becomes a nightmare to even load the page. I agree with Thornstrom that splitting it by genre would make the most sense. Children/family is one option, though I was thinking, similar to the Template:Netflix original current series, splitting it by live action and animation. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 17:45, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If the list were to be split (and I’m not necessarily favoring that it should) I think the best way would be to split out the “Exclusive international distribution” section, leaving this list to focus on Netflix commissioned series. -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 22:12, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think this would be a good idea, because global original programming can be 100% complete and accurate, but I doubt the Exclusive international distribution part will ever be with so much ever-changing data. — Thornstrom (talk) 18:28, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe a split on shows with/without a release date (move upcoming to its own page)? Thornstrom (talk) 11:43, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How about dividing the page based on show status? If it is ongoing or pending, we say it is current programming and that is one page, if it is canceled or no news after one year about renewal, then we move those to past programming page. I know that for streaming TV current and past programming are kind of out of scope categories as in network TV, since even canceled programs "stay on air" but this is my proposal. To divide it kind of like the NBC programs page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.160.110.4 (talk) 09:58, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer to keep the list as it is now, and not divide it on show status. But maybe it could be a good idea to emphasize the status a bit more by coloring the status column with red/green depending on status? Thornstrom (talk) 11:40, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you do colour code make sure to pick carefully so that it accessible for those with colour blindness. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 12:05, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it needs to be color AND text Thornstrom (talk) 13:30, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, genres can be subjective... or sometimes a work is both comedy and drama. What about animation? That's not subjective, right?, so perhaps we should fork out animated content regardless of intended audience (children/family vs. adult). Just an idea, but I feel strongly about splitting this list up in some way. Just image how it'll look in a few more years... ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:02, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning on supporting this. But I guess animation and live-action gets more and more blended for each year, so that might become a problem too?Thornstrom (talk) 14:13, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bonding seems to be gone from the service

Bonding seems to be gone. It is hard to tell if it is gone from all regions of course, but if nobody is reporting that regions X still has it in the next couple of weeks, I think we should remove it or start a section for that kind of content. Abyss Taucher (talk) 20:39, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm that it's gone from Sweden too. But a search at unogs.com says it's still available in Israel. Thornstrom (talk) 22:27, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. Since it is an American series (not a co-podruction with a tv station from Isreal) afaik that should mean that Netflix still has it as a full original at least in some regions, hence we can leave it. Abyss Taucher (talk) 23:17, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bonding seems to be back (it must have been a bug). Armos (talk) 10:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm this. Abyss Taucher (talk) 16:52, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My First First Love has been ended?

Is it true that My First First Love has been ended after two seasons?
Please click here to look.
It looks unsourced. -St3095 (talk) 07:18, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it back to pending. Abyss Taucher (talk) 02:27, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Abyss Taucher: Thank you. St3095 ► 05:52, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Completion status of a show (concluded/abrupt)

How about adding the way a show was ended to the status column? Example: Orange Is the New Black had a planned final season so it has the status 'Ended (concluded)'. Santa Clarita Diet was canceled with a cliffhanger episode so it has the status 'Ended (abrupt)'. Sense8 would be a bit difficult. Maybe 'Ended (concluded with a final episode)'. Any thoughts?
