Listing cast playing same characters in Cast section.

Hi! What is the preferred way to list the cast if an actor replace other actor in a long running television series. For example Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Sid95Q (talk) 14:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

I prefer to do something like "[Actor 1] (season #s) and [Actor 2] (season #s) as [Character]". If there for some reason are more than one replacement, then "[Actor 1] (season #s), [Actors 2] (season #s), and [Actor 3] (season #s) as [Character]" etc. If season's aren't a good indicator of when an actor was in the role, year of release would also work. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

A great example showing the above would be The Crown (TV series). -- Alex_21 _TALK 20:12, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

✅: I support Favre1fan93 format as it clearly indicates who played the role and when, using years instead of seasons for Indian shows like Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. It ensures clarity, avoids ambiguity, and aligns with Wikipedia practices, as seen in The Crown (TV series). Tenshi Uisu (talk) 00:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Is the use of "/" ok? Like used in the above mentioned page Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. There have been several discussions in past to avoid these Like here you can read paragraph "Ambiguous slashes" in "Examples" section. Sid95Q (talk) 09:44, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

The problem in that example isn’t the slashes but the excessive, confusing information crammed into one line. When used properly, slashes offer a clear, concise way to indicate role replacements without unnecessary repetition. Instead of bloated cast lists repeating character names, a simple Actor A / Actor B along with years format efficiently communicates that one actor replaced another.

Wikipedia’s editorial guidelines would have explicitly prohibited them. WP:TVCAST prioritizes clarity, but it doesn’t forbid slashes when they enhance readability.

At the end of the day, it’s about balance. Tenshi Uisu (talk) 17:12, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

@Tenshi Uisu: I don't think the edits you made provide any clarity. That's why I am here to take suggestions from uninvolved editors. Thanks Sid95Q (talk) 17:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Possible Zap2it closure - what to do?

Earlier today, Zap2it was not loading whatsoever, with error pages coming up when trying to load the website. Fast forward a few hours later, and now https://tvschedule.zap2it.com/ / https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/ redirects to the NewsNation TV schedule.

Obviously hoping this isn't an abrupt end to Zap2it, but if it is, what should be done? Dozens of TV articles here use Zap2it as a source for episode listings, so lots of shows are being impacted here. We still have The Futon Critic, and as of recently, I've seen some users using TV Insider, but from what little I've seen, it's definitely not as good of a source as Zap2it.

The only other thing I have to say before others chime in is that I found someone on Twitter/X mention this: https://tvlistings.gracenote.com/grid-affiliates.html As that same user pointed out however, "it's apparently the result of Nielsen buying the old TMS and Gracenote from Tribune back in 2016 before Nexstar bought the rest of Tribune in 2019. The copyright in the old page footer fooled me into thinking Nexstar still owned it".

Anyways, as this may have a large impact across loads of articles, even if it does miraculously come back at some point in the future, it'd be wise to start figuring out what the next steps are given the current status of this all. Magitroopa (talk) 02:40, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

I also know that Showbuzz Daily was moreso regarding ratings, but Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Archive 34#U.S. TV ratings sources may be of use in finding sites that may/may not be useful for this new dilemma. Magitroopa (talk) 02:45, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Update: Someone apparently got in contact via email, and was told that Zap2it has been shut down and to use the Gracenote site for TV listings. If this is indeed the case, something still needs to be figured out regarding the numerous articles using Zap2it as a source, that now just redirects to the NewsNation TV listings on their website. No idea how easy (if it all) it would to convert the references to Gracenote links. Magitroopa (talk) 20:17, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
