Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Indagate (talk) 18:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Casualty seasons

Hello UMos. I have noticed you have split the 38th series of Casualty into four separate articles. You never discussed such a big change to the Casualty series articles - it would have been nice to know what you were thinking. There are a plenty of active editors who could have joined in such a discussion. These are themed episodic blocs or mini-series within the main series. I do not think we need four separate articles for one season since there are already so many lists. Here are some sources confirming that the number of seasons has not changed.

Honestly I saw this as more overdue than controversial. It's clear from the BBC websites, including iPlayer, that the episodes since the format change are now considered and primarily disseminated as distinct series, so these articles would only sleepwalk further into confusion by continuing to arbitrarily enforce season groupings (i.e. the BBC aren't going to tell us when 'series 39' begins and I don't think Wikipedia should make that assertion independently - the series 38 page looked set up to do so half way through the next story arc regardless, which is pretty troubling). Pretty much every source also exclusively refers to a certain arc, so it's immediately far more clear what material is referring to where - and easier to add in secondary material and ensure consistent coverage. As I couldn't see any evidence of routine discussion in any Casualty article I went ahead and followed WP:BRD. Regardless of naming conventions (I followed WP:TVSEASON), I certainly think that the story arcs are more notable and article-worthy than larger seasons, by a long way.

I understand why you moved them. I agree that it became confusing since the official website dropped the numbers. Those catch up services Sky, Amazon, Plex and Apple are still using overall series numbers. I just do not think it is correct to decide that a television show now has more series numbers. I understand that for this reason you split them. There are Digital Spy articles which describe them as miniseries. I definitely think at the very least they should be titled according to the miniseries name. "A History of Violence" should be "A History of Violence (Casualty)" and not Casualty series 41. Then the lead would state "A History of Violence is the fourth miniseries of the British medical drama television series Casualty, and forms part of the overall 38th series." In addition, I feel like I should have started our discussion at a Casualty talk page. Would you be willing to move this conversation so far to Talk:Casualty series 38?Rain the 1 11:55, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
