Please note: due to precocious spam and an utter twunt who won't take no for an answer, new editors may be blocked. If this a genuine mistake, contact me through some other means.


It is currently Sunday 12 May 2024.

If you happen to come across my edits, I usually tend to make long but very spaced-out bursts of activity to do with Countdown. I'm still interested in the programme, but not as much as I once was.

The Doctor's "To Do" List - Please feel free to help!

Operation "Clear Wanted Pages"

If you can help with clearing Wanted Pages, then do so. This is effectively an index of red links, so axing as many as possible would be ideal.

These are roughly in several categories:

People

Mostly from Co: events, it may be worth adding them with the Category Category:People who have not appeared on Countdown. If their co-event name is a pseudonym, create the page but do not add the category. It's a pseudonym for a reason - DO NOT REVEAL THEIR IDENTITY.

Co-event "episodes"

If recap not available (very unlikely), then remove the red link from the series-link template on the adjoining games. The game tables no longer link to them, so this is at least fixable.

Deliberate red links

Links like Gatwick Airport appear solely in pages such as Countdown:About, so do not touch.

Other links in talk pages can stay for now, but you may wish to replace the red link with a <strike></strike>tag instead.

Featured Articles

I'm hoping to reinstate Scott Mearns to the front page (done!), Harvey Freeman too. I would also like to see new featured articles for 2021 and would like to mark-up Gary Woodward at some point.

Catsdown

  • Mostly completed now but a few broken redirects to sort out. (22 Sep 2020)

Apterous Masters and aptoSOS

As arguably the two "biggest" Apterous tourneys hoping to mark-up and update. (done 11 Nov 2020)
With AptoSOS I'm tempted to do recaps for them all if I can find the time. (19 Oct 2020)

Not going to bother with this. (11 Nov 2020)

Tournaments

Everything in Category:Countdown tournaments and Category:Online Countdown tournaments should really have a game table.

Countdown Marathon 2

Have to get round to recapping this soon.
