I propose that a Movie namespace is created. It would cover A Minecraft Movie, any of its sequels, and related things such as its books.
The purpose of this namespace is little different to the purpose of the spin-off namespaces, that being that there will be a significant amount of pages about the movie with distinguishing parenthesis in their titles, “Steve (A Minecraft Movie)” for example, and that a namespace is a much cleaner alternative to that. Of course, right now there aren’t many movie pages and there are even less with these distinguishing parenthesis. But I’m confident that once we have enough information (once the movie releases) we could create solidly sized pages for all the mobs and notable items used by the characters in the movie, which would necessitate the namespace. Story Mode namespace has pages for mobs and items, and that game is 95% just narrative, so I think we could do the same for the movie.
We don’t need this namespace right now, its usefulness will only be made fully apparent when the movie releases. However, considering there are two other namespace discussions happening right now it would be a lot more convenient to implement all these namespaces at about the same time. Also there’s no reason to not have it ready early, maybe a unique theme could be made for it before the movie releases. - Harristic / Talk 👁 Image

Support as proposer. By the way, I’d like to shamelessly self-promote the Movie Project, which would cover this namespace. - Harristic / Talk 👁 Image

Weak support this is what a namespace is for, but I'd like to suggest one thing: a namespace containing not only the movie but all non Minecraft official media. I don't have much experience in these matters nor do I know enough to form any reasoning to accompany my suggestion (and I'm too lazy to cobble anything together), but I'd still like to suggest it. It has been suggested on a previous discussion about the exact same topic. (I don't know how people like Harri figure out whole paragraphs of solid reasoning...) -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 01:16, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- I think the movie alone will be able to fill an own namespace, having other media mixed in would just get confusing. It would also make the namespace name less clear, resulting in “Steve (A Minecraft Movie)” disambiguation being required again. -- 👁 Image

- I dunno, I just feel like the previous suggestion should be mentioned here, I guess... -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 01:21, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Also, the other namespace suggestions have something in common: they're both about things that are subpages of another page, which make "sub-namespaces" and are also how userspaces work. Just feel like this should also be mentioned... -~- Nerdyguy2000 Talk Edits 01:23, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Strong support this namespace. It's very clear to me that the movie content will need its own namespace by the time of release. I see no reason to wait with the creation until then. It would already benefit the existing pages and avoid confusion from pages like Earth Portal. -- 👁 Image

Support The movie is by far the highest profile spin-off to date, bigger than even the other games. If anything needed to be separated from the mainspace, it would be this. Realshow19 (talk) 01:29, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Oppose - We don’t need a namespace for the movie because we aren’t going to have pages for every single movie mob just as we don’t have a page for every single book mob. Also, what if other Minecraft movies are made that are unconnected to this movie’s universe? The way I see it, it would be best to treat the movie like how we treat all the media outside the game such as characters on YouTube and characters from books.Drour1234 (talk) 01:54, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- The movie is a lot bigger than the books and closer in scale to the spin-off games. It's major content that needs to be documented in more detail and even if we don't have a page for every single mob we would need a namespace due to all the conflicts with vanilla content. How we were to deal with future unrelated movies is something that would have to be discussed at that time, depending on their content they might just fit into the namespace as well. -- 👁 Image

- The difference between mobs in the movie and mobs in the books is that the former's are visibly different. They're all redesigned, some more faithfully than others, and a lot will probably get spotlight moments for fanservice. That's not what the books are like, depending on the story you're supposed to see them as identical to the game's designs or just whatever suits your reading. If they have enough to warrant a page they just end up being a character with a name, and almost none of the novels connect so a separate namespace wouldn't really help them. The movie already has its own version of Steve, which until now was unthinkable for a spin-off, and that's bound to cause some confusion. Realshow19 (talk) 02:12, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Support – see also previous discussion here. If the plan is to have separate pages for separate things in the movie, a separate namespace definitely makes sense. | violine1101 (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
