[edit] Hey! Bring back the template

I can understand adding Category:James Bond movies to all the Bond movies, but why get rid of the templates at the bottom? It gives context and a chronological framework for all the movies (see below). The category page doesn't; it just has a list of the movies. Can't we have both? — Frecklefoot | Talk 20:03, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)

Silly me, not having noticed the {{JamesBond}} template, has added my new template {{Bond movies}} to all movies which didn't already have the {{JamesBond}} left. The new one looks like this:

v • d • e James Bond films and actors "Official" films (EON Productions) Films Dr. No · From Russia with Love · Goldfinger · Thunderball · You Only Live Twice · On Her Majesty's Secret Service · Diamonds Are Forever · Live and Let Die · The Man with the Golden Gun · The Spy Who Loved Me · Moonraker · For Your Eyes Only · Octopussy · A View to a Kill · The Living Daylights · Licence to Kill · GoldenEye · Tomorrow Never Dies · The World Is Not Enough · Die Another Day · Casino Royale · Quantum of Solace Actors Sean Connery · George Lazenby · Roger Moore · Timothy Dalton · Pierce Brosnan · Daniel Craig Non-EON films Films Casino Royale (Climax! episode) · Casino Royale · Never Say Never Again Actors Barry Nelson · David Niven · Sean Connery

Come to that, I like the idea of the Bond-movie-list template having a tag that actually specifies that it's about the movies. So I have a suggestion: add the non-Eon movies to Template:Bond movies and {{Bond movies}} to any movies that don't yet have it, and change Template:JamesBond to be a list of Bond novels (or even of general Bond topics). Good idea/bad idea? --Paul A 04:17, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Template change

Someone apparently merged the template "JamesBond" with the other template "Bond movies". Since the other is pretty much obsolete now, I was wondering if anyone objected (or has a better idea) to turn the JamesBond template into a template for things relating to James Bond. So far it would include:

• Allies
• Villains
• Bond girls
• Gadgets
• Vehicles
• Theme songs

Any thoughts, additions? K1Bond007 00:47, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)

I like what you've done with it, but it looks kinda incomplete without links to Bond novels and Bond movies. --Paul A 03:16, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Science fiction films

Since 8 out of 23 James Bond films are in this category, would it be safe to say that James Bond films are in general science fiction? Also, since most James Bond films have a plethora of gadgets that verge of sceince fiction tech, all of them could be considered science fiction. So, we could just add Category:Science fiction films to the Category:James Bond films, and remove the Science fiction category from those films. Lady Aleena 21:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I disagree to generalize them all as science fiction. The ones that are are already categroized in that category (Moonraker, Die Another Day for example) anyway. K1Bond007 22:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I did it (per IRC discussion). Lady Aleena 07:19, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
