This page is for making any suggestions of major changes to the Countdown Wiki. This is to try and prevent having a lot of work to undo if other people don't agree with them.

To start a new section, simply type two equals signs around your heading (e.g. ==Heading==), and type ===For=== and ===Against=== to create the subheadings. When adding a comment, please type # ~~~~ under the "For" or "Against" headers, followed by your reason.

New categories

Some new categories that might be worth creating:

Category:Seven-time winners

For

  1. TobyMcDonald 22:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC) (Not sure if it should include people that didn't play an eighth game, which were Helen Grayson, Cathy Morgan and Geraldine Hylands)

Against

Category:Co-events

For

  1. TobyMcDonald 22:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC) (Subcategory of Category:Countdown tournaments, to separate them from things like Edinburgh Countdown Club, Countdown Marathon, etc.)

Against

Category:Co-event locations

For

  1. TobyMcDonald 22:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC) (For pages like this)

Against

Succession templates at bottom of pages

I think templates like {{series winner}} and {{series runner-up}} should be placed at the bottom of each page, as this is what Wikipedia does. Template:S-start says "A succession box is the box you see at the bottom of articles that show what the predecessor to the article you're reading is."

For

  1. TobyMcDonald 19:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC) (Per proposal)
  2. BeachBoy99 Love this idea. 21:22, 02 January 2024 (UTC)

Against

  1. Not in favour; keeping them just above the episode tables creates more notability than they would otherwise. We have {{CofC}} which is more Wikipedia-style and I like as a good bottom-of-page thing. The Doctor (talk | contribs) 23:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
