910:) considering that Toho took those monsters they created for those films and crossed them over with Godzilla, without stating one way or another if those films are connected or not. If the later then that would be similar if Marvel Studios had not said anything whether the Avengers films were connected to previous Iron Man films, or Thor films, or Ant-Man films etc and thus MCU didn't exist other than as fan cruft theory. With that said I think there few solutions here. 1) Toho never said these 21 films were officially related to Godzilla so leave them out. 2) Toho said they were official so include them. 3) Remove the American godzilla films and only focus on Toho exclusive produced films and media. (Now I don't know if Toho had any involvement of producing those American films the 1998 film or those
446:. The template is supposed to be a navigation guide but you’re treating it more like a See Also page or a compilation article. 99% of the short films listed don’t even have articles, so what use are they to a navigation template? There are no separate articles for Gigantis or the US version of King Kong vs. Godzilla, so what’s the point in listing those. Info on those alternate cuts can be found in the articles for Raids Again & Kong vs. Godzilla. We should also reexamine what constitutes as “related” to justify adding content to the template. We can’t list every single film, show, or other media medium just because they include a special appearance by Godzilla. The template is becoming bloated enough as it is.

428:. Short films, featuring Godzilla himself, also are necessary. A section "Films featuring a similar creature" is necessary, because many of these films feature creatures that cannot be called Godzilla only because of copyright issues. Remember, this is one of the oldest movie franchises and it is very big. --

This nav box is far too large and is way in over its head going over
Godzilla related material. Why for example is Gamera linked as its definitly of the genre, but not the same series. Ditto with several other Toho films that are not in the Godzilla series (i.e: GunHed, Orochi the EIght Headed Giant,

When I came to my native-language
Knowledge there were only several pages about Godzilla. Just because short films don't have articles now not means that mentioning them are unnecessary. Template:Star Wars even includes documentaries and film scores. If I can create Template:Godzilla short films,
538:
The Star Wars template includes documentaries and film scores because there are individual articles for them. But there are no articles at all for the short films you listed or
Gigantis or the US cut of KKVG. So they doesn’t belong in the temp. If all of those short films have articles based on

Thanks for the input F. Even though I haven't seen the new film I thought that might be the case. Your note helps to give a more thorough explanation of how things stand at this moment. Between the hidden note that I added to the template and our posts here I hope this will help others in
580:
If I could weigh in here, I believe related films definitely merit inclusion in this category but it should be strictly limited to films that share continuity with the main franchise (i.e. other Toho films that feature the same Kaiju found in
Godzilla movies and all MonsterVerse entries.
732:
Seems the
Godzilla related films temple was deleted, now I don't know if it was speedy deleted or AFD. So I think it need to be recreated or similar named templete created. I count at least 21 Toho produced films that are related to Godzilla but don't feature Godzilla:
1007:. This event was the first time that Toho officially recognized Shin Godzilla and the Polygon trilogy as part of the Reiwa era. You're right. It makes no sense considering the Reiwa era began in 2019 but this seems to be Toho's official stance.
951:
385:
couldn't we have an article that lists all Kaiju that appear in the
Legendary films? like a "List of Monsterverse kaiju"? I mean the second Godzilla film introduces a number of new kaiju in it. Not too mention the MUTOs from the first one.
956:
Where was such a thing ever stated in an official capacity? The
Japanese equivalent to this template just has Shin Godzilla in its own "no classification" subsection with the anime films in their own "animated movies" subsection.
480:
I said about "Films featuring a similar creature" already. Many of these films feature creatures that cannot be called
Godzilla only because of the copyright issues. You say this section is unnecessary when this template mentions

272:
or directors and their films (etc) a navbox should not contain redlinks. If an article for these new creatures is ever created then we can add the link but until then the redlink serves no useful purpose.
565:
Again, this is a navbox. Not a See Also page or a compilation article. So all “related” content’s inclusion should be re-considered. A cameo is not good enough to include in an already bloated navbox.

Godzilla should be relegated to related chatagory in the template.

adds separate categories for TV series, Films, other media, etc. However, I've had issues adding those categories to the
Godzilla template. Could someone help?
620:
I suppose Ready Player One is "related" but it's not canon. The Toho films exist in a shared universe and those films should be included in this template.

But the actual problem is what is Toho's official stance on those films are they official cannon to the Godzilla films. Or is this just later fan cruft (

The live-action/animated subsections are under the Reiwa section. I'd rather we get rid of the subsections and have them all listed under one section.

Actually, if this is to be taken as an absolute source, the American films should be reclassified as "Hollywood...", although first we'd need to find
