Motivation
[edit]On English Wikipedia, showrunners were added as a new param to TV infoboxes last month, and this property is now slowly migrating to other interlanguage Wikipedia infoboxes. On wikidata, it used to be an alias for , but I think it would be useful to separate it for synchronization with infoboxes (since executive producers are there, too). Generally speaking, the showrunner is more of a top-level executive producer who has the most control over the current season, while other executive producers have less control over creative stuff and on-set production, but deal with administrative, financial, or other responsibilities. The actual episode credits usually list the showrunners as executive producers, but sources often state who the showrunner is at the time. Individual seasons are always the responsibility of the showrunners, who may change from season to season, while the list of executive producers is most often supplemented as the series progresses by former showrunners (who may no longer be involved in production). So showrunners usually specified in the infobox with a listing for every season (see The Walking Dead (TV series) or The Simpsons). Also, some executive producers may never be showrunners for any season of the show. Solidest (talk) 18:14, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
