Quantico page

I was the one that changed the pages for Quantico recently. I had a look at other Misplaced Pages pages and I saw that the cast tables were presented in a manner that made them easier to read. I did not know that cast tables were deprecated. Could you please refer me to the Misplaced Pages guidelines that corroborates your statement? If you can, that would be much appreciated. Also, I sincerely apologize for causing any issues on your side. I just wanted to get clarification on why the current page is protected. Toddst1 reverted your edits previously under the guise of 'good faith' and my response to you should be evidence that I have not committed 'vandalism' when I wanted to contribute my efforts to help increase the visibility of the page. Please, if you have any concerns about what I said above, let me know as I would be happy to hear them out. Thank you. Elainasla (talk) 04:37, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

@Elainasla: These cast tables have become deprecated per many and multiple discussions at MOS:TV and WT:TV, the discussions of which are archived in the archives of the respective talk pages, and the tables at the pages you've seen should have also been converted. I have posted on Toddst1's talk page, given that his revert was from misunderstanding, as I reverted the editor who removed much of the coding required for List of Quantico episodes, with no reason. Alex|The|Whovian 07:58, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Can you point us to the resulting WP:MOS that says they're deprecated? MOS:TVCAST says nothing about tables. As it is, you appear to be WP:edit warring on that page and maybe even WP:OWNing it. Toddst1 (talk) 13:21, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Your accusations of WP:EW and WP:OWN will get you nowhere in this discussion, and are falsely thrown about in this case. You will find the answer for the deprecation in the very reply above yours - first sentence, even. Alex|The|Whovian 12:09, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Let's be clear then: nothing in MOS:TVCAST that says they're deprecated. Great.
You do not have consensus for your revert. at least 3 editors have now objected to it. Please stop reverting. Toddst1 (talk) 20:21, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Correction: 2 users object. One simply added the initial edits, reverting my splits in the process, and has not been heard from since. I know that I have a couple of talk page stalkers that I've worked closely with at MOS:TV and WP:TV, editors that actually know what they're talking about - would they like to add a few words? I will be listing this discussion for further input, to gain the opinion of more experience editors. Any further additions from Toddst1 at this point will be reverted.

Adding to this, see the user's revert - see how they 1) deliberately remove the formatting that was initially (and should still be) required for the List of Episodes page, 2) add unsourced genre changes, 3) reinstate duplicate production information that already exists on the individual season pages, 4) adds a manual series overview to the article instead of transcluding it from the List of Episodes page and hence keeping only one instance of it, 5) adds redirecting links (Yasmine Al Masri to Yasmine Al Massri). He complains that his only issue here is the cast tables, and yet is too lazy, and would rather revert everything instead of just reinstating the one thing.

Care to comment on your mistakes and attempted ownership, Toddst1? Alex|The|Whovian 23:23, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Articles using Template:Series overview with invalid colour combination

Is this category still being used? I can't seem to find it in the code of Module:Series overview. – nyuszika7h (talk) 11:01, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

@Nyuszika7H: I initially implemented it in {{Series overview/row}}, but then deleted it from there once it didn't work. The category could probably be deleted, given that no text overlays the coloured cells in an overview table, and hence WP:COLOR does not apply, given that there's no colour combinations to be invalid.
