The short answer is that yes, you need to create a new one. The longer answer is that (in theory) you could use parsing functions to making templates that are all based off of one template so that the new templates would all look the same, but this restricts the format and would take hours and hours of coding. Each template is different (compare the [[Template:1911|1911 Template]] to the [[Template:Tom Clancy Series|Tom Clancy]] template). Now what we could and I think should do, is change the sub-categories to something like "Media Seires" and "Gun Series" (separating 1911 from Tom Clancy). At the end of the day tho, eventually there are going to be a lot of templates but if you concern is that there will be a lot to sift through, there is always an easier way to add the template. When you create a new template, you know what its called and you add it to the pages as you create it. If you are creating a new page and need to add it to the template, and the template to the page, just go to another page in the series. In other words, if you are adding "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4" (no such thing... yet...), just go to the Modern Warfare 2 page and copy and paste the code from the bottom.
=Discussion=
I've been spending a lot of time working on these templates and haven't really gotten any feedback from admins. It's also frustrating because there are a lot of things that I would like to do but can't since I'm not an admin. For example, I keep having to ask one of you guys to add a new template to the locked page... I'm not as much of a gun enthusiast as most of the people here, but I am a computer engineer with a lot of coding experience so I'm just trying to do my best to help out. I will kick around the idea of a generic template and try some different things but no promises... It will literally require hours of coding.
== Colt XSE links ==
In the mean time, I would love to hear some feedback on the templates that I have already added. Are there other templates that you think could be useful? Throw ideas at me and I'll let you know what I think is doable. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 23:40, 17 June 2012 (CDT)
... but the Colt XSE link does't link to anything, not even the Colt Rail Gun. Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun.

I undid the edits on [[Girl in the Spider's Web, The]], as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems
I did a little tidying up of the templates. Added some more subcategories. This should help to keep things from getting TOO cluttered. I'd really like to hear your thoughts. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 10:56, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
:You are correct, and that is the beauty of using templates. Make the change in ONE place, it automatically changes everywhere else. :-) I SWEAR when I made the Pink Panther template, Pink Panther 3 was listed on IMDB and its not now... Maybe I saw it on Wikipedia?? Either way, I will fix it and I think you are right. Let's wait until a trailer has been released before adding it to the templates. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 19:50, 21 June 2012 (CDT)

Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion.

I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the [[Talk:Star_Wars|Star Wars talk page]]. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)

:Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --[[User:RealEveryDay|RealEveryDay]] ([[User talk:RealEveryDay|talk]]) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)

Doesn't the "Upcoming" tag refer to any movie that out in theaters and not available on home video? According to the rules, we can't post screencaps of anything other than what's in trailers or teasers until the US video release date, so it explains to users why the caps aren't there. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:10, 15 July 2012 (CDT)
==The Stand (2020)==
:As I said above, I thought it remained in affect until home video release. Theoretically, every page is considered incomplete until it get screencaps from the official home video release, so the upcoming tag provides an excuse as to why those caps aren't there. And since we can't use caps from illegal sources like screeners and bootlegs, for the purposes of completing a page, the home video release date is pretty much the only one that counts. The tag also is a disclaimer, covering our asses and reminding everyone that "Any screenshots used are from official Trailers and sources" and not bootlegs. (BTW, we should probably make the T in Trailer lowercase.) I would think for a featured page like ''The Avengers'', this is especially important. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 01:29, 15 July 2012 (CDT)

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details [[Talk:Main_Page#Issues_with_IMFDB_Accounts_Reported_by_Multiple_Users|here]]). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their [[User_talk:Bunni#Regarding_a_user|talk page]], did not receive any replies.
== Re:Page Templates ==
I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line.--[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank U! Now I'm more familiarized with firearm characteristics. U see the 1st time I watched an SMG/MG fire, I wasn't familiar with the characteristics. But thanks to U, I learned more about guns. Now that I discovered how to make gun scene pics with the print screen option, I decided to join IMFDB to add more pics of guns used in movies. I learned this technique from someone on Atomic Betty Wiki 1 month ago, and since I'm a recent contributor on that wiki, I decided to make edits on this wiki as well.
== How do I make a page? ==
Thanks for the reminder. And your right about the Image I placed on Terminator 3. But Can U help me identify a very strange gun? It is on the Batman 1989 page under M1928 Thompson. There is a picture with the caption "What appears to be a double barrel Thompson SMG on the bottom right". The pic caption on the image below it also says the gun has some sort of shield on it. If U can Identify this gun for me, alert me ASAP. I would really appreciate it. Or maybe those/that thing looks to small for a shield. Maybe it looks like a double set of stick magazines.--Gunnerboy 21:34, September 30 2012

Yes, I had noticed that it was getting a little large. I'm just a bit worried that if we do it by season, the season pages will be a bit light. On the other hand, it'll at least allow us to get it out of the incomplete queue. (Netflix has eight seasons on Instant, and even if we did it by disk, Netflix only as seasons 1-10, 14.)

I know how to capture gun scenes the easy way: press print screen/sys req next to scroll lock to capture the scene U want, open MS paint and press ctrl V and thats where I work my magic. Yesterday, I made a few new pictures for Batman 1989 which is the Tommy Gun and what I remember is this close up of a Thompson M1928 was clear and bright as crystal with what looks like sparks coming out of the compensator (at least thats what I THINK it is, cuz I'm not familiar with the characteristics of firearms). Now today, I discovered it looks more blury then yeaterday. It seems like I'm losing my vision and need glasses, but I'm not. Whats the big idea screwing around with that picture I uploaded yesterday?! And I even found the text in my Thompsonsparks.jpg file changed as well! (The text on the bottom of the picture box).
I think thats pretty much all the pictures I can add to Batman and Batman Returns. And no, I don't have a VLC player unfortunately. But I have been adding pics to different movies. But I MIGHT have more pictures on the way..... Just give me time.

It does not make sense. The point is that there is the word "targeting" - Czech rather expressed by "AIMS", but in English appears to be "point".

== The Heineken Kidnapping ==
Hi Ben41, thanks for your comments on [[Heineken Kidnapping, The|The Heineken Kidnapping]], two questions though.
(1) You revised SWAT team for KCT but this is incorrect. The special forces in the movie are so-called ‘arrestatie teams’ (‘arrest teams’) that are part of the Dutch police forces and see action when the regular police forces need more muscle. They can be distinguished by their blue berets and not surprisingly, their [http://www.arrestatieteam.nl/arrestatieteam/uitrusting/blauwebaret.php website] (scroll all the way down for ‘beret images’) is actually called ‘The Blue Beret’.
The KCT, on the other hand, are part of the Army and can be distinguished by a green berets (see their [http://www.korpscommandotroepen.nl/index.php?l=en&p=1&sid=4acbe81bfbdc0d9e04b274f6ffe28547 KCT website]). With the special forces in the movie operating along police forces and carrying blue berets, I take the liberty to change back to SWAT, which is the name they actually use on their website.
(2) I am wondering why you resized some gun images from 400px to 300/460px. Isn’t 400px the standard for gun images?

Well, yes and no.

But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction.

Splitting up the Star Wars pages
I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the Star Wars talk page. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --Wuzh (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)
I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --Wuzh (talk) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)
I'll just split out The Rise of Skywalker for now. It's unreleased anyways. I'll see if there is a way to get some of the screencaps that you want. No guarantees. --Wuzh (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)
I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then. I am going to split up the original trilogy page soon. --Wuzh (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)
Luke Cage
Greetings! I added a lot of firearms to the Luke Cage - Season 2 article. Considering that you are its main contibutor, I was wondering if you could help identifying the guns. Thank you very much in advance.--Shabook (talk) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)
Request
Hi Ben, please change my username to Mirko. (bunni declined my request to make a new account) Can you also confirm that this is a Kel Tec P11?

Thanks --Slum 5050 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2020 (EDT)
Hi again I have an issue. E-mails aren't being sent to me by the site. Bunni actually did accept my request and I should have received an account creation password email on the 12th and never got it , and tonight I've sent 'reset your password' to both of my emails and still nothing.--Slum 5050 (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2020 (EDT)
Screenshot Request
Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --RealEveryDay (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)
I probably will update. Thanks for the details. --Ben41 (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2020 (EST)
Dude, thank you SO much for updating those screencaps for the Garand on Fargo season 4! You literally pulled the same frames I used! Well done. I appreciate your professionalism! o7 RealEveryDay (talk) 16:15, 6 December 2020 (EST)
The Stand (2020)
Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris (Nicholas Lea) issuing what appears to be Glock 17 pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes". Glad you have the ability to screencap the streaming services. Huge help. --Jcordell (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2021 (EST)
User needs help accessing account
Hello, a user in the discord, User:Picturetheory, says they are having issues accessing their account and they aren't receiving emails, including the initial password email. They have made sure to whitelist imfdb.org and checked their spam. --AgentGumby (talk) 17:00, 10 December 2021 (EST)
Black Widow Deleted Scenes
Hey, I noticed that you uploaded a high-quality screenshot of deleted scenes in BW. Could you tell me where you found the scenes in good quality? Pustelga7 (talk) 15:34, 24 February 2022 (EST)
I've heavily improved the deleted Heavy Fire Afghanistan page, is it acceptable to add as a "Main" page now instead of just a preserved code Talk page?
Contacting bunni
Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details here). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their talk page, did not receive any replies.
I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --Wuzh (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)
S.W.A.T Season 6 Episode 1 & 2
What happen to the firearms from the two part premiere of S.W.A.T Season 6 episodes 1 & 2? Because I known most of the rifles in those episodes were AK variants.
Please don't perform cut-and-paste page moves
When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line.--Wuzh (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
I've decided to make a Die Hard Arcade page and I'm not sure if I should make a Elevator Action Returns page so I would like to ask for advice. --Mojo72400 (talk) 12:27, 18 February 2023 (PST)
UFO Aftermath
Okay if I create a new page for UFO Aftermath? I have taken screenshots and uploaded them, the lack of which seems to be the reason the original page was deleted.: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/User:Samz/Sandbox --Samz (talk) 15:30, 30 March 2023 (PST)
Filipino movies featured for independence day
Hi! I would like to ask if we could feature a selection of Filipino movies on the Main Page for the week of Philippine Independence Day (June 11 to 17). It would be really nice if Filipino cinema gets some recognition, even if it's only for just a week. Thank you!
(also, thank you for featuring the Fatman page last Christmas!) --Dnkakusei (talk) 05:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Changing the title of "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade"
Hey Ben. Tried to do a redirect from "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade" since the latter already exists. Ultimate94ninja advised me to seek out a moderator (or admin) to make the change. So I'm here to ask for help on the matter. Ominae (talk) 02:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
