"the final chapter"

Saw 3D is also called "The Final Chapter", and this wiki should reference it somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.253.103 (talk) 09:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Saw VII

Just letting you guys know that I have begun the Saw VII article (on my namespace) here. Feel free to add/delete/change as new information comes. So far Patrick Melton in a podcast confirmed that filming will begin February (he also said a lot of things, like Saw VII most likely being the final installment, etc). So we have til then to make the page live. --Mike Allen ^{talk · contribs} 06:31, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Large image.

Well, apparently someone wasn't supposed to use "px" for some reason, yet now, the picture looks too large. What are we supposed to do? --HELLØ ŦHERE 23:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

See the diff - just use a smaller figure, but it must be a bare integer, without any "px" after it. So, instead of |imagesize=300 you could put |imagesize=250, |imagesize=200 etc. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

This is the code from {{Infobox Media franchise}}:

{{#if:{{{imagesize|}}}|{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>={{#expr:{{{imagesize|}}}}}|{{{imagesize|}}}|280}}px}}

If we pass a plain integer to the infobox template, such as |imagesize=200, this substitutes in five stages as follows:

{{#if:200|{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>={{#expr:200}}|200|280}}px}}
{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>={{#expr:200}}|200|280}}px
{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>=200|200|280}}px
{{!}}200px
|200px

which is a valid value to be included in [[Image: ]]. If we pass a value with "px" on the end, such as |imagesize=300px, this again substitutes in five stages but with a different outcome:

{{#if:300px|{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>={{#expr:300px}}|300px|280}}px}}
{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>={{#expr:300px}}|300px|280}}px
{{!}}{{#ifexpr:280>=<strong class="error">Expression error: Unrecognised word "px"</strong>|300px|280}}px
{{!}}<strong class="error"><span class="Pfunc_expr_unexpected_operator">Expression error: Unexpected < operator</span>[[Category:ParserFunction errors]]</strong>px
|<strong class="error"><span class="Pfunc_expr_unexpected_operator">Expression error: Unexpected < operator</span>[[Category:ParserFunction errors]]</strong>px

Note that this time:

• an error message 'Expression error: Unrecognised word "px"' is produced, which is not actually displayed, but used as data for a numeric expression
• that numeric expression fails as a direct result of the first error, yielding a second error message 'Expression error: Unexpected < operator'; this also is not displayed, because [[Image: ]] can't handle it
• the page is placed in Category:ParserFunction errors, which is a hidden category.

Reception rewrite?

Or not really a rewrite, but an addition. Most film articles, in fact almost all of them that have a reception section, have a good deal of text detailing the positive and negative criticism. The charts are fine, I think, but I think in the name of consistancy, we should have a paragraph actually saying what the remarks about the film (good and bad) were about. 64.234.0.101 (talk) 19:20, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Mike Allen 21:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Overview

The overview seems more like a series of non-connected statements about parts of plot involved in each film, written in no particular order. I came to the page to find an overview of the plot for all of the films as I have only seen the first one. If the overview section is the wrong place to put this then I suggest creating a plot overview section.

Thanks
