# Talk:Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

I started this discussion to help 170.239.28.58 with his/her edit regarding the role of Wong during the events of the film. The IP address claims that Wong as a Sorcerer Supreme is not mentioned in the film, hence removing it and replacing it with Master of Mystic Arts. Me and CreecregofLife already reverted the IP's edit. We invite the IP address to discuss his edit here to avoid a possible edit war and encourage others to laid-out their opinion on this matter. Thank you. Centcom08 (talk) 01:54, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure how it works overall, but I know in other situations if something wasn't stated until later, then that info isn't used. But I'm not sure if there are exceptions. I know we learned Wong became Sorcer Supreme in No Way Home after Endgame, but 170.239.28.58 has a point that it wasn't mentioned at all in this movie. I'm not gonna complain either way though. -- Zoo (talk) 02:08, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Shang-Chi and No Way Home take place after Endgame and Wong mentions when Doctor Strange has snapped away, he becomes the Sorcerer Supreme. So what I am seeing in IP's edit, Wong should not be called Sorcerer Supreme if its not a Spider-Man movie? Centcom08 (talk) 02:20, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
I think their point is only that we didn't know in this movie. Nothing to do with No Way Home being a Spider-Man movie. -- Zoo (talk) 02:27, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
He is not referred to as a Sorcerer Supreme in this film and it is not important to the plot of this film so it should not be mentioned.. Also the proper procedure if an addition is challenged to leave it out while it is being debated, and NOT to keep inserting the info until consensus can be reached.

FYI, pings don't work with IPs. I've dropped a {{Talkback}} message on their talk page. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
It is why Wong is the one who summons Shang-Chi at the end of the film CreecregofLife (talk) 04:21, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
In your opinion. That is never specified on screen. Spanneraol (talk) 04:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Neither was his training, within this movie being a sorcerer at all. So you’re basically stating a moot point CreecregofLife (talk) 04:27, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Shouldn't we do a thorough c/e of the article before worrying about a GA nomination? -- Zoo (talk) 05:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I definitely think it is too early for this, plenty of work that can be done here. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97 @ZooBlazer Sorry for prematurely putting the tag, I was wondering what work needs to be done before we send it for GA? Dcdiehardfan (talk) 23:26, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Additionally, I believe we are currently going through Phase Four GA nominations in release order. So, after the TFATWS articles eventually become GAs, then will Loki's, and then Black Midow etc. SirDot (talk) 23:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
I wouldn't even be opposed to Black Widow and TFATWS both being worked on close to the same time as they're the next in line for the shows and movies, but if we end up going in phase 4 order regardless of movies or shows, that works also. -- Zoo (talk) 23:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
This all sounds good to me CreecregofLife (talk) 01:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Films and D+ series can be worked on independently of each other, but should still generally follow their release order. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:04, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Add in his abilities 2C0F:F5C0:423:9B1B:2FF4:7CCD:D226:3353 (talk) 22:43, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

The article already explains his martial arts skills. If you think there is something else missing from the article then you will need to be more specific, and provide reliable sources to support the addition. - adamstom97 (talk) 23:28, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
The Shang-Chi character in the source material and movie has no super powers whatsoever. He's just an incredibly skilled martial artist and can use weapons pretty well too. In short he's just a regular person like say Hawkeye. 2A00:23C8:5228:1601:D1A5:DB01:C262:57FC (talk) 21:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

¿why does it say English<--Do NOT include Chinese here per WP:STATUSQUO. A discussion about whether to put Chinese here is on-going in the talk page.-->? Brawlio (talk) 03:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Because the infobox is only supposed to include the primary language of the work, which is typically the language of the production's country of origin. While the Chinese language is spoken in the film by some characters, it is not a major defining aspect of the film as a whole. This is in line with what is established at {{Infobox film}}, and has been discussed at this talk page in the past, which did not find the usage of the Chinese language in this film to be significant enough to be made an exception of those rules.

I just noticed the discussion in question was from 2 years ago but has since been archived. Considering that was archived with no consensus for bypassing the WP:STATUSQUO of only using the primary language in the infobox, I will update that hidden editor note accordingly.
