:I like the idea of one article and one category, while noting the difference in classic and modern definitions on the article page. That way we keep our work in-line with the single job title as seen on-screen, and easily inform anyone surfing in of whichever definition of "script editor" they happen to be looking for. I believe it can all be done without making the article too unwieldy.[[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] 21:58, April 20, 2010 (UTC) | :I like the idea of one article and one category, while noting the difference in classic and modern definitions on the article page.

::Yeah, I'm partial to the one article idea, too. This isn't like [[Designer]]/[[Production designer]], where there are actually two different titles. It's easier to note the distinction in one place when the tietles are exactly the same. But it's the categories that are really troubling me. I'm not sure it makes all that much sense to group Terrance Dicks together with Helen Raynor. They're really not doing the same job at all. And you can't really do some higher automated functions like #categorytree, if they're all together. I mean, you could use #category tree to automatically dump a list of the BBC Wales script editors, but not if they're mixed in with the old guys.

:::As we're going to define the role of script editor on the article page that should tie into the category, defining it and therefore making the category make more sense. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 06:26, April 21, 2010 (UTC) | :::As we're going to define the role of script editor on the article page that should tie into the category, defining it and therefore making the category make more sense. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 06:26, April 21, 2010 (UTC) | ||
