The Spider-Man in popular media template has television, film, theatre, actors, newspaper strip, theme park attractions, parodies, and video games. So the Spider-Man video games template is already a part of the in popular media template. Why keep them as separate templates?

• It may be worth see if WikiProject Video Game has a preferred format since {{Spider-Man video games}} notes year of release not platform. Also note that there is {{Spider-Man film series}}. It may be worth removing the video game and film sections here and add a line for "Expanded topics" to link to Spider-Man film series and Spider-Man video games.
  On a slightly related note... Base on consensus from Actors, the "Actors" section needs to be removed. - J Greb (talk) 01:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-09-16T01:20:00.000Z","author":"J Greb","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-J_Greb-2010-09-16T01:20:00.000Z--5--2010-09-16T01:07:00.000Z","replies":["c--5--2010-09-23T20:22:00.000Z-J_Greb-2010-09-16T01:20:00.000Z"]}}-->
  • It's been a week, so I'm going to go ahead and redirect Template: Spider-Man video games to this template based on the consensus. If there is any objection, it can be discussed here.-5- (talk) 20:22, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-09-23T20:22:00.000Z","author":"-5-","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c--5--2010-09-23T20:22:00.000Z-J_Greb-2010-09-16T01:20:00.000Z","replies":["c-Beast_from_da_East-2010-10-18T20:24:00.000Z--5--2010-09-23T20:22:00.000Z"]}}-->

Even with your grammatically horrible objection there is still a consensus of 3 to one. Please stop reverting the edits. It is counter-productive and you can be blocked for edit warring. Thank you.

• J Greb never said he supported it. We already have the Spider-Man film series template and we should have the video game template.

Ok, so this came up on my watchlist like it does every now and then, and it struck me that the title of this navbox is pretty lousy. Actually, it's very lousy, as comic books are a popular medium, so the title is completely non1inficitive o content, and kinda implies that comics aren't popular. Now, this is clearly an "other media" template, meaning other than the character's original medium of comics, but I can see someone might find that a bit unclear as well. So I was thinking "Adaptations of Spider-Man" if we don't just want to have the template title match the article that is already linked in the header. (It's also an WP:EASTEREGG link, another strike against it.) The Fantastic Four and X-Men templates do say "other media" in their headers (and the similar templates for DC characters use "franchise media"), so this is the only template to use the "popular media" construction for a major comic character. oknazevad (talk) 00:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-01-05T00:37:00.000Z","author":"Oknazevad","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Oknazevad-2018-01-05T00:37:00.000Z-Retitle?","replies":[]}}-->
