• Hotel Transylvania (franchise) → Hotel Transylvania
• Hotel Transylvania → Hotel Transylvania (film)

– After four films, five video games, two short films, three novels, and a television series, I don't think the first film is the primary topic, but the franchise as whole. Chompy Ace 08:48, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Since hotel Transylvania is a Sony Pictures subsidiary. Can I add the template of a Sony Pictures franchises. 2A02:214A:8014:B700:F5BB:496:DEAC:62C6 (talk) 19:35, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

 Question: Please could you provide a link to the template you'd like to be added. Lewcm Talk to me! 22:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

There is already Sony Pictures Animation template on the article What change are you asking for? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RudolfRed (talk • contribs) 01:20, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

I presume you are talking about Template:Sony Pictures? That navbox isn't strongly related to this article, since it is mostly about its people and subsidiary studios. Liu1126 (talk) 10:24, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 00:35, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Cast and characters cleanup

The current state of the cast and characters list has quite a few issues. Generally, it is unwieldly, lacked sources, and lacks relevance.

• Per MOS:LONGSEQ. "Keep lists and tables as short as feasible for their purpose and scope: material within a list should relate to the article topic without going into unnecessary detail". This list is so long that it creeps into the sidebar on on desktop mode set at Standard text size.
• The character links link to their generic monster, instead of an article on the character. Per MOS:EGG "make sure that the reader knows what to expect when clicking on a link". If I did not know who "Wayne" is (this is the first time the name appears in the article), I'd be surprised it links to a basic Werewolf article.
• All cast members are listed, but there is no sources for any of these cast and crew. (basic WP:RS and WP:OR issues)
• MOS:FICTIONAL this cast list has no real world context. While its useful to know when Adam Sandler played the Count and when someone else has, From the plot descriptions above, some of these characters are not mentioned so without context to why someone has a cameo appearance, it comes off as material suited for a fan wiki. MOS:FILMCAST also mentions this with including these points of information regarding the amount of real-world context for the whole cast or its members.

A proposal would be to satisfy the above would be to re-organize this section similar to Sesame_Street#Cast, crew and characters but in its current state, its a fan site and one that expect you know most of this information already.Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:45, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
