Template talk:Power Rangers

Episodes

"List of all Power Rangers episodes" should probably be somehow included with the episodes listed under "Key Episodes". Whereas combining the two makes sense, doing so as they are now would be kinda messy (i.e. "List of all Power Rangers episodes" shouldn't fall under a category called "Key Episodes" -- needs re-wording). Any suggestions? JPG-GR 06:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll make some changes (since I don't know what they'll exactly be yet) and then maybe you can look them over? Ryūlóng 06:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

That looks good. The only thing that still causes an underlying irritation is having Zords in the see also section. It almost feels as if it goes with the "Characters", but on second glance, that seems downright silly. Other than that, it feels good. JPG-GR 18:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, Zords don't really go anywhere else...that I can think of. Ryūlóng 01:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Dino Thunder

I think there are too many dino thunder episodes on here can we come to a consensus to only about three on here. candyo32

Well, many fans believe Dino Thunder was important, seeing as they brought Tommy back. And this place isn't a very good place to make such suggestions. No one knows about this template. Ryūlóng 23:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

What template? I don't see no stinkin' template! ;) JPG-GR 22:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Selection of Episodes

Going through this template, reading article to article, I feel there are some episodes lacking. The most glaring so far would have to be "A Zeo Beginning." As MMPR ended quite abruptly (and finally), it seems only logical to start it up again with an article on AZB. One could also make arguments for MVatMA. On the other hand, this is quite clearly a slippery slope, as nearly any 3+-parter could be article worthy, and I've no time to write any from scratch (and, perhaps more accurately, no time to dig out the appropriate tapes to re-watch). Just food for thought. JPG-GR 05:11, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Just Wondering...

I was wondering, I'm pretty sure a good majority of the people here are aware of Power Rangers' parody, Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers, but I don't see it listed on the template, even though it is a related series. I was wondering why and if it's because other people have not thought of it, I worked it out on my User Subpage here. So is there a reason why it is not included or am I the first to propose this change? スミス ナサニアル 02:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

New template Disney Era and Saban Era

I made the television series into two sections Disney and Saban Because these two eras are different that they are made by two Companies so there.Remake it but dont delete it .RYULONG —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martytholath2 (talk • contribs) 11:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

We do not need to differentiate between companies or anything because there is not enough of different series mentioned here to require as such. We don't need to use an arbitrary division just because it exists (when Power Rangers starts getting to the extent of existence as its Japanese counterpart, then we change it).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 19:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd say never change it. I know this discussion was held a year ago, but I think it should stay the way it is now to no end. Mythdon (talk • contribs) 09:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

This thread is over one year old, Mythdon.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

That is why I said "I know this discussion was held a year ago". I don't know if you have the same opinion you had back then, but I believe we should never group sections of "Saban" and "Disney" on this template as that information is fully mentioned on Power Rangers and related articles. I believe it should stay the way it is now to no ends. Mythdon (talk • contribs) 06:59, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Half Italic Text

Is there a specific reason that half the text is in italic text? also i think that colour of it should be changed partly because that green dosn't look that good and also styling the navbox's (applying css to them (the way you did the colour) is not recommend as per Template:Navbox.

Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

I can't see any reason for not including Dragon Knight here. Being a adaptation of a Toei series, it's more related to PR than Super Human Samurai (a Tsubuyara series adapted by DIC) and Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters (a all-american production). Deleting KRDK doesn't look a very coherent move.-- Black Condor 14:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Dragon Knight is an entity separate from Power Rangers. SSSS and Alien Fighters were actually around during the initial popularity in Power Rangers in the early 90s, and were competition. Until Dragon Knight airs, it is really only necessary for mention in the context of other Kamen Rider series.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 23:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I still can't see your point here. The "competition" claim is a very vague thing, IMO. There's a lot of other series that can fill this gasp. About the PR popularity in the 90's, it's very unlikely people doing a adaptation of Ryuki without this initial sucess, and PR still is a moderated sucessful series. This is enought to make Dragon Knight a related series to PR - not counting the Toei thing, this is somewhat relevant. That's my two cents about it. By the way, I respect your point of view, but I don't see this necessarily as a "really necessary" thing to do. It can be, but can't be as well. Only constructive criticism, don't take me wrong. -- Black Condor 03:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Dragon Knight I just don't see as related to Power Rangers as some of the other non-Saban produced series are. Of course, this may change once the show comes on TV and we see if it is connected, enough. Sure it's a Toei production, but I don't know if that's enough yet.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:26, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Individual season templates

I would like to make templates for each season (except MMPR, PRZ, PRT and PRIS) of Power Rangers. Like their is templates for some of the Super Sentai seasons. Mythdon (talk) 02:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not really all that necessary, I think. With Power Rangers, everything's listed on a single template at the bottom. The various items in Sentai series weren't.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Well i wasn't really believing it would actually be accepted anyway. And your right, Power Rangers shows everything in a single template, Super Sentai does not. Mythdon (talk) 06:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Template color change

I think the color of this template is unencyclopedic in style and i think the color should be changed. I think it should be changed to a sorta light purplish blue. Mythdon (talk) 01:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

How can color be unencyclopedic?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Well the color being used for this template looks like it is a color not used on most templates and i think it should be changed to this. I have copied the templates source and changed its color

. Mythdon (talk) 03:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The colors used on templates such as these were foricbly chosen to be made the same for uniformity within the project. The uniformity is not mandatory and is why this template was never those colors to begin with. The colors used here may not be the same as used on every other navigation box, but the colors are not meant to be the same (which is why they can be changed). Also, "television color" is not a color that works on the template. Its use defaults to the color that is programed into the original template.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I guess its also this color to associate with the Saban era Power Rangers logo right?. Mythdon (talk) 04:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I just know the color is established as for this template.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:16, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

The color i suggested looks worse anyway. The "lightblue" is better anyway as it associates with the Saban era logo. Mythdon (talk) 00:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

"Other related"

I took the liberty to remove the "Other Related Series" from the chart. This is the only template that I've seen that includes competitive and parody items within the template. It'd be like including the Wü and the PlayStation3 in the Nintendo Wii Template. If anyone disagrees and there's a consensus otherwise, they can always be added back in. TheUncleBob (talk) 00:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Emo Rangers should have probably stayed, seeing as it is the only notable parody with an article. SSSS is covered by the Ultra Series template, and Alien Fighters doesn't really fit in anywhere.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 00:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Alien Rangers

Alien Rangers should be removed from this template, or at least have it's position changed. First, even when advertised way back when, it was advertised as mini-series. Second, there has never been anything to substantiated it as a season. All current anniversary merchandise doesn't include it as a series. It's misleading to leave it on the template under the series heading. As such, maybe there should be a "mini-series" category. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zero X Marquis (talk • contribs) 22:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, because I'm getting sick of going back and forth, I'm going to bring this up one last time. Alien Rangers is not a television series, no more so than any other Power Rangers mini-series. It had a special intro, I'll give you that, but it's production numbering did not change from season 3. Also, it was advertised as a mini-series, and is not classified as a series under any official merchandise or website. To leave it as is is faulty. If it is to remain on the template, fine, but out of convenience of navigation is not a valid reason. Leaving it as is is misleading to say the least - it isn't a series, so it shouldn't be classified as one. Zero X Marquis (talk) 07:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers was not a full television series, yes, and it was a miniseries, yes. However, It being a transition between MMPR and Zeo as well as having its own "separate" theme song makes it different from other miniseries in Power Rangers (of which Green with Evil was not). As this is a navigational template, and its content cannot really be merged and dealt with, it should be left amongst the other "television series" instead of creating a new separate category for it, as it certainly came between MMPR and Zeo, had a separate title sequence, and whatnot. I know that this thing will probably be debated to hell and back on various websites, but here it is placed where it is as a navigation issue. There are also several articles that need work. However this template should be minimal compared to the rest.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

This seems like it should have a fairly easy solution. Why not change the template top something like...

It would allow Alien Rangers to stay on the template, but also denote to the casual reader that it's a sub-relation to the initial MMPR series and not a series of its own. Just a thought. TheUncleBob (talk) 20:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I'll impliment this change, as it seems to be the proper method (rather than giving undue weight to the Green with Evil story arc whose article is horribly written).—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:51, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Glad I could help. :) TheUncleBob (talk) 00:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
