Template talk:Godzilla

message: To the people who have seen the new film please understand that the guidelines for a navbox are different from those for an article for the film or list articles. Navboxes are designed to let readers navigate between existing WikiP articles. With the exception of navboxes for authors and their book or directors and their films (etc) a navbox should not contain redlinks. If an article for these new creatures is ever created then we can add the link but until then the redlink serves no useful purpose. MarnetteD | Talk 19:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also worth mentioning that these creatures have only appeared in one film, so their role in the story and the details of their design etc can be covered in the Godzilla (2014 film) article. Unless they become recurring characters in the franchise and receive significant media coverage (like Rodan or Mothra), a separate article isn't really appropriate. —Flax5 19:55, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the input F. Even though I haven't seen the new film I thought that might be the case. Your note helps to give a more thorough explanation of how things stand at this moment. Between the hidden note that I added to the template and our posts here I hope this will help others in understanding what is going on. MarnetteD | Talk 20:01, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to point out that these rules may possibly no longer apply? A MUTO article has already been established. We can possibly add the link to the article in the navbox now? Armegon (talk) 22:08, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: MUTO

message: This nav box is far too large and is way in over its head going over Godzilla related material. Why for example is Gamera linked as its definitly of the genre, but not the same series. Ditto with several other Toho films that are not in the Godzilla series (i.e: GunHed, Orochi the EIght Headed Giant, etc.). If there is no real suggestion that they are part of the same series, I suggest removing them. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:10, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been confused about the "Related films" section myself. I really don't know what the criteria is. I think it should be limited to films that exist in the same fictional universe. Charles Essie (talk) 20:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Too large

message: couldn't we have an article that lists all Kaiju that appear in the Legendary films? like a "List of Monsterverse kaiju"? I mean the second Godzilla film introduces a number of new kaiju in it. Not too mention the MUTOs from the first one. Visokor (talk) 14:28, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  suggestion 

message: Where was such a thing ever stated in an official capacity? The Japanese equivalent to this template just has Shin Godzilla in its own "no classification" subsection with the anime films in their own "animated movies" subsection. ArguaBILL (talk) 17:32, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The live-action/animated subsections are under the Reiwa section. I'd rather we get rid of the subsections and have them all listed under one section. Armegon (talk) 03:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: My point is that there isn't actually a "Reiwa era" Godzilla series... Shin is its own thing completely and the anime films are their own things. ArguaBILL (talk) 05:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the closest we have to official. This was taken at Comic Con 2019, here's another angle. This event was the first time that Toho officially recognized Shin Godzilla and the Polygon trilogy as part of the Reiwa era. You're right. It makes no sense considering the Reiwa era began in 2019 but this seems to be Toho's official stance. Armegon (talk) 07:29, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess it will remain as is for now. ArguaBILL (talk) 16:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Actually, if this is to be taken as an absolute source, the American films should be reclassified as "Hollywood...", although first we'd need to find another photograph to make sure what the full text for them says. ArguaBILL (talk) 16:36, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this webpage without photographic evidence, it says "Hollywood Productions". ArguaBILL (talk) 16:44, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shin Godzilla is not part of any "Reiwa era" Godzilla series, nor are the anime films.
