Colour contrast problems[edit]

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Danielle Fishel in the starring part of the infobox[edit]

A recent edit by Tvx1 added her name to the infobox under the starring parameter. I reverted the edit, stating for my reason that only main cast belongs there. Tvx1 reverted my revert, with this explanation: According to whom? You? The infobox' dcumentation [sic] doesn't state that the parameter can only include main cast. She was a starring cast member, just only a recurring one.

Here's the documentation about the starring parameter from Template:Infobox television season: The season's starring cast. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. Cast are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new cast joined the season. (emphasis mine) The way I interpret those in the "starring cast" (usually identified as "main" cast in many of the TV articles) is the names of the actors shown generally at or near the start of each episode of a TV show (as is the case with Boy Meets World), with the word "starring" preceding the first name, but applies to all other names appearing right after that (sometimes "and" or "with" may precede other names, but they would also be part of the starring cast). In season one of Boy Meets World, Fishel is not credited in that part of the episodes, but does appear at the end of the episodes she appears in (as "guest starring" or equivalent wording). With how many episodes Fishel appears in, she is considered recurring in season one; she later does get added to the main/starring cast beginning with season two (and her name appears at the start of the episodes). As I understand the word "starring" as well as the MOS:TV guidelines, recurring cast is not considered starring, or main, in the context of the infobox parameter description.

General consensus is that starring means "main". So if she was not in the opening credits with the other main cast members, she should not be in the infobox. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 00:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Starring cast is the main cast. If she is not credited with the starring cast on the on-screen credits, then she should not be listed on the starring cast on the infobox of this season article. — YoungForever(talk) 14:23, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
