Hi Toby. I appreciate what you were trying to do with ZD YouTube links for early eps, as it was something I would get round to do in due course, but by using {{tl|YouTube}} then you've added [[:Category:Episodes on YouTube]], which isn't appropriate. So these will all have to be changed, I'm afraid. What I do is type out the template manually: <nowiki>*Watch this episode on {{w|YouTube}} ([link part 1])</nowiki>.

Do they? I've been leaving out RR if she hasn't beaten the contestants on an impossible round? I think the [[Countdown:Recap checking style guide]] reads like that, but appreciate it's not 100% clear.

Hi Toby. I appreciate what you were trying to do with ZD YouTube links for early eps, as it was something I would get round to do in due course, but by using {{YouTube}} then you've added Category:Episodes on YouTube, which isn't appropriate. So these will all have to be changed, I'm afraid. What I do is type out the template manually: *Watch this episode on {{w|YouTube}} ([link part 1]).

Do they? I've been leaving out RR if she hasn't beaten the contestants on an impossible round? I think the Countdown:Recap checking style guide reads like that, but appreciate it's not 100% clear. The Doctor (talk | contribs) 21:49, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

I'd say it's included when CV/RR says "I also got 1 away" or "You could've got 1 the other way". E.g. Round 5 of Episode 4187 or Round 14 of Episode 5794. But nothing is included when RR says "That was the best you could've done". E.g. Round 3 of Episode 6993. TobyMcDonald 17:29, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
