In computing the 4th definition (building on something else) is completely wrong. At best, it is completely redundant (exactly) with definition #2. (NB: Definition #1 is currently RFV'ed.) --Connel MacKenzie 22:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to be too general, I think. I've replaced it with a specific programming def. DAVilla 05:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Noun? (but I can't parse the definition; it does not sound nouny): "away from or off from the general locations and area where a movie’s, a film‘s, or a video’s scenery is arranged to be filmed or from those places for actors, assorted crew, director, producers which are typically not filmed."

I suspect someone got confused by the adverbial sense which matches this definition (which was missing and which I added, along with the missing adjective of the same meaning.) As for a true noun, the closest I could find was:
  • 2012, Brian J. Robb, A Brief Guide to Star Wars:
    Daniels provided his dialogue from off-set for the benefit of the other actors.
which has a hyphen. Kiwima (talk) 01:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I think whoever added this just didn't understand the part of speech. Failed as a noun; kept as an adjective/adverb. - -sche (discuss) 06:45, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
