Add movie development section?

The radio series article and the TV series article both have sections on their respective development. Do we want to add one for the movie's development, starting in 1979, and ending with the 2005 release? --JohnDBuell | Talk 20:31, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comparison To Books

We have a reference to other books section, but I'd like to see a comparison to the original books section. How is the movie different than the book storywise? Does it add things from other books into the script? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linklewtt (talk • contribs) 17:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Auto-archiving?

Any objections to setting up auto-archiving for any items on this page that are over ten years old? DonIago (talk) 14:11, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I started an auto-archive, leaving five posts over a year's time. Wylie pedia @ 08:27, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, though it looks like you just set up the link to archives, not the archival process itself. I'll take care of it. DonIago (talk) 18:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The bot will only archive signed messages, and a lot of the ones above are unsigned, and therefore will need manual archiving. Aidan9382 _(talk) 04:38, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Or, just find them in the history and let a bot do it. Wylie pedia @ 04:24, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Year Discrepancy

Why is someone editing the years on this page to be inaccurate? The film came out in 2005, not 2021. Douglas Adams died in 2001, not 2017. What is going on? 2600:1700:37A8:9210:C1A9:6A8C:A917:5B9D (talk) 15:03, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
