	:::As for the table end markers, it turns out they were working perfectly fine. The problem was that the table was restarting when it shouldn't have been (seemingly due to an error with the counter function), and the table end markers weren't set to account for this, causing nesting tables.

	Hi Gfd, thank you {{pl\|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Stux/template-sandbox&curid=59937&diff=799830&oldid=799828 very, very, very much}} for figuring out what was going on with the template! That said I still don't quite understand what went wrong, but at least it'll help me continue with testing... Later, when I have time again... ^_^; In any case you have my thanks :) --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 15:04, 7 February 2021 (UTC)		Hi Gfd, thank you {{pl\|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Stux/template-sandbox&curid=59937&diff=799830&oldid=799828 very, very, very much}} for figuring out what was going on with the template!

	:::Stux — I apologize again for not being specific. I was just suggesting a singular {{{film}}} parameter (like the one in the original {{t\|post}} template); for example, <code><nowiki>\|film={{Film\|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film\|Cherry Greg}}</nowiki></code>. I agree that the giant filmography list on the [[@StrongBadActual]] page is large and unwieldy and devoid of context (although at least that means each filmography category stays at an accurate number for such things as [[Strong Bad#Fun Facts]], but that's a discussion for another day). The point is, one {{{film}}} parameter should accomplish the same thing by much simpler means.		:::Stux — I apologize again for not being specific.

	::Anywho, regarding the filmography cent: I actually think this method is more useful than having a single filmography entry because it allows us to link a page to a character's filmography using the {{t\|film}} template.

First of all, great job on this so far. I just have some edits I think should be made, but I don't want to edit the template just in case that ruins anything, so I'll bring up my ideas here.
*You can only add four pictures to a Tweet (I logged into Twitter for the first time in forever just to check), so the {{{pic5}}} and {{{size5}}} parameters are unnecessary.
*I don't see a reason to separate the filmography into multiple parameters. Not only does that seem to make everything more complicated, it's also extremely limiting. Five characters is a number that has been surpassed perhaps dozens of times by now (e.g. {{prs|1060934210452680704|9|Nov|2018|alt=this Tweet with upwards of 80 characters}}) — I guess that's an extreme example, and we might not want to list the entire filmography for that one, but I still don't see why it should be limited at all.
