Use of "frac" vs. Unicode ½ vs HTML entity ½
Hi folks,
I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but why is Fellini's movie 8½ described using 'frac' i.e. with {{frac|8|1|2}} (<templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />8+1⁄2)?
This seems to offer little improvement over the actual Unicode 'half' character ('½') which is used in the wikilink anyway. If a user's system doesn't support ½, then it won't be able to open the link to that article – though I suppose in that edge case, you could argue that at least this article might display OK even if the link doesn't work.
If Unicode is a stretch, how about an HTML entity? They've been a W3C recommendation since 1999, so unlikely to cause even the oldest of web-capable devices to break a sweat. That would make the film's title 8½ in the source, which is pretty human-readable if you can't have "8½".
I wouldn't have noticed if 'frac' worked. But on my Mac (running Firefox on Mac OS 11 Big Sur) the text appeared initially as "8 1/2", then after I looked at the source and subsequently cancelled, it started appering as "8+1/2"!
Looks like an issue with Template:Fraction, the Mediawiki codebase, or perhaps something else. The source for Template:Fraction appears to be here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Fraction/styles.css
Come and see as the best belarusian film
Belarusian Independent Film Academy (BIFA) conducted a poll on the best Belarusian films of all time, inviting 49 experts: directors, film scholars, film critics, curators and others. Here are the 50 films that received the most mentions in individual lists. https://belfilmacademy.com/en/fifty-best-films 79.133.232.113 (talk) 22:26, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

Another poll with the same winner for the best Ukrainian film
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is already here, so this is just a request for an inclusion of another source where it is voted the best Ukrainian film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_100_best_films_in_the_history_of_Ukrainian_cinema 79.133.232.113 (talk) 00:22, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
Belarus and Palestine
Here are entries for Belarus and Palestine which should be fit to be added straight in.
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".
- Come and See (Idi i smotri, 1985) was voted the best Belarusian film by a 2024 poll of 49 experts arranged by the Belarusian Independent Film Academy (BIFA)[1].

- Divine Intervention (2002) was the highest ranked Palestinian film at seventh place in a 2013 poll of greatest films from the Arab world organized by the Dubai International Film Festival.[2][3]. It also received the most votes (six) of any film by a Palestinian director on the 2022 Sight & Sound poll of greatest films of all time.[4]

- Added Belarus—that's straightforwardly a poll about the best Belarusian films. The Palestine one, on the other hand, is not from polls specifically about the best Palestinian films but rather the top-ranking Palestinian entry in polls with broader scopes, so the case for inclusion is more debatable there. Let's hear what others think. TompaDompa (talk) 10:19, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
