The "Showrunner(s)" column at List of Star Trek television series needs sources for the showrunners for the first five series (from The Original Series through to Voyager); this has been tagged as unsourced since October 2019. -- Alex_21 TALK 02:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed.Whoever tagged it ((citation needed)) seemed to have an issue with it. (Other articles doing it for years doesn't make it right, that's an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument, and retroactively applying the modern term showrunner to the original Star Trek is always going to be incongruous at best.) It would be a waste of time to ask people to look for reliable sources that are highly unlikely to even exist, so I suggested another way to fix the underlying problem. If you don't like the suggestion you could always try WP:IAR and get WP:LOCALCONSENSUS on the article talk page to throw out the citation needed request. Regardless User:Alex 21 added the table in 2019 and per WP:BURDEN "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material".
Executive producers <br>(Showrunners)
but that would be too ugly, and I hate to even mention it.) In my earlier suggestion I said "and some explanatory text", be it in ((Explanatory footnote))s or notes below the table or hidden comments or all of the above. Showrunner is a great term, I've nothing against it, it is a very useful informal description, but reframing the past by current standards creates unnecessary problems. (Tangent: I thoroughly recommend the documentary Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show, the accompanying book Showrunners is great too.) -- 109.79.173.96 (talk) 06:24, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
a better heading that isn't "showrunner" or "executive producer". The reason we put showrunners in the executive producer param in the infobox is because they almost always are executive producers, but those params include every executive producer who is not a showrunner as well. We don't want them being added to this table. We could try something like "Lead executive producer" with a note explaining that this means the showrunner for series that have one. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:34, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
a note explaining that this means the showrunner for series that have onewhich sounds a whole lot like agreeing with my earlier point that explanatory text would be necessary. Please go ahead and add whatever kind of comment or footnote you think would work best. -- 109.79.160.13 (talk) 00:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
A major issue. The Template:StarTrek.com link, used in 706 wiki articles, no longer works. The underlying website, www.startrek.com, has been replaced with ca.startrek.com. Also appears that the template parameter "Episode", which is predicated on "Number used in the URL to identify the Star Trek episode", is now stymied by the new website using a text string to identify the episode. Hope someone on the extensive WikiProject Star Trek team can fix this. Thank you. Jmg38 (talk) 19:43, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Hey, everyone from the Star Trek pages, i’m just come and visit and see if anyone who worked on Into Darkness and Beyond want to work on the WikiProject Skydance Media. Skydance is recently developing Star Trek 4 but we have enough time before it happen, so feel free to join in and help Skydance the best it can. BMA-Nation2020 (talk) 06:42, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to ((WikiProject banner shell)), which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to ((WikiProject banner shell)), and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass ((WPBannerMeta)) a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:33, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
I've started a rewrite of the article on Jake Sisko per my comment on the talk page there, if anybody wants to weigh in.

I feel like this draft has potential, and could use some help bringing together sources on the history, production, and reception of this episode. Cheers! BD2412 T 16:39, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

My new China-themed article. Sadly, at 175 words, it's not long enough for a DYK and I cannot find much more in English sources. Can anyone find an anything else? PS. A free image would be nice too, but I am not holding out hope. I guess we can use something with fair use... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:04, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
There is a proposal to change the naming conventions of TV season articles from the current practice of XXX (season 1)
to XXX, season 1
or XXX season 1
. As such a change would affect a substantial number of articles, you are invited to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television) § Move TV seasons from parenthetical disambiguation to comma disambiguation. Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
After a protracted argument on the Dyson sphere talk page that seemed to be going nowhere, I decided to consolidate and restate the basic issues concerning this section in general, and one particular instance that has proven especially vexing, as I see them. I hope that members of this and other related WikiProjects might weigh in and give their opinions. P Aculeius (talk) 18:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I have started a discussion at Talk:Star Trek: Section 31#Requested move 30 March 2024 that may be of interest to members of this project. - adamstom97 (talk) 20:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
I've recently undertaken an overhaul of First contact (science fiction), and it now includes various references to Star Trek. Should it be added, and at what importance? Ships & Space(Edits) 02:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
I don't have the time momentarily, but if anyone has use of this clip I stumbled across at the Commons, apparently a Picard rebroadcaster mislicensed this clip at YouTube, and we may use it across the project if we want/need. Just a heads-up! — Fourthords | =Λ= | 17:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
