Add ZoomDown to quick links
I think ZoomDown is worthy of inclusion on here. Mclarenguy22 17:54, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- So do I. Added.--Launchballer 18:04, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Christmas 2020 Specials
Have just been announced, and apparently fulfilled. I propose that since these are being made-for-a-specific-date, they get normal episode numbers rather than the "S" prefix which is used for episodes out of sequence. Thoughts? The Doctor 21:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- This is the first I've heard of them, but seeing as this hasn't apparently stopped S40, S41 and S42 I wouldn't support the idea.--Launchballer 11:57, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Never mind, just spotted the most recent edit to Series 82, and I'm amazed that they're proposing three episodes given they've still got one unaired to put out first.--Launchballer 12:04, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Damian's said it was sprung on him as a surprise ("we end on Fri 18 Dec" / (C4:) "what about the next week"). I sort of understand, but that wouldn't be my first thought if I were Damian, to do archive-diving. The Doctor 16:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Contestant positions
I have a really bad feeling many of these are now wrong (James changed them all about 10 years ago before C1 was champ and C2 was challenger). this video of the credits of Episode 312 has the contestants round the wrong way and Episode 28 I have partially changed. Worried this may now be epidemic. 22:11, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- I did wonder why certain champions, such as Jane McLeman, appeared to change seats.--Launchballer 13:31, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Do we have any solid evidence for the fact that champions move? Episode 15 was also wrong, and if they don't move then 12-26 are also wrong.--Launchballer 16:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- Champions stayed where they were until Series 37 I think it was - possibly a draw flips them? May send a message to Mike and Robbo as well on this. The Doctor 21:37, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

EPisode 17: "Andrew won the toss." Oh bollocks. That means almost every episode could be wrong. Mike Brown says that Series 8 onwards should be fine, but yeah we're in a spot of bother now. The Doctor 20:42, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Proposal for FA images
Suggest using {{click Inline}} to link to the article rather than the image? The Doctor (talk | contribs) 21:57, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
Stuck Talk Page Header
Since the update I cannot yeet the "you have new messages" header from the top of the page. Just pointing out. The Doctor (talk | contribs) 19:51, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
Featured Articles
The monthly featured articles are outdated and should match the current article. Mclarenguy22 (talk) 13:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
- You can change all of them except the current month's by visiting {{FA October}}. The Doctor (talk | contribs) 21:16, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Episodes by contributor
I'm really not sure about this. Quite apart from being incomplete (Alan Sugar, Gordon Brown, Maven Riley-Kovalev to name but three), there seems very little point in naming every cameo? The Doctor (talk | contribs) 21:15, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- If I remember correctly, I created it for notable people who either a) turn up twice, in which case there is no obvious redirect target, or b) already have their own page, i.e. Terry Wogan and Rory Bremner, at which you may as well mention it anyway. Sugar and Brown can be redirected to their relevant episodes.--Launchballer (talk) 21:38, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Stuck new message box
Hi, lately I've had an orange box appear on every page, just below the page title: "You have a new message from another user (last change)."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried deleting cookies and site data for apterous.org. Are other people having the same problem? More importantly, has anyone who was having the problem found a solution? — Stewart (talk) 00:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's been like that for ages. See the bottom of User talk:Reams.--Launchballer (talk) 06:30, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
List for DC guests by number of appearances
I'm amazed that we haven't got a list of DC guests by number of appearance. Definitely think one should be had, as it would be nice to know who has the record for the most (well, I think we know), but also who else is pretty high on the list... JRTerrier24 (talk) 13:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Went to create a table using Excel, but hit brain fog. Will carry on when I'm feeling a bit more clear-headed.--Launchballer (talk) 14:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm feeling better. For technical reasons, I'm going to have to feed these in 100 at a time.--Launchballer (talk) 18:47, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- You can go through previous revisions of this page for the history, but this is done and is up to date as of yesterday (but does not take into account articles that don't yet exist, e.g. next week's Osman episodes or the week after's Harris episodes).--Launchballer (talk) 19:26, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Updated.--Launchballer (talk) 15:31, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain that Lesley Graham, Bob Bevan, Merrill Thomas, Marc Freden, Simon Biagi, Anya Sitaram, Lee Peck, Richard Sisson, Ian Hyland, Noreen Khan, Victoria Mather, and Damian Eadie are the guests without articles and Jazz Emu and Stevie Martin are the Catsdown guests without articles. Not all of them pass GNG though. Eadie certainly doesn't...--Launchballer (talk) 23:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- We've got Special:MostLinkedCategories which sort of does the job. The Doctor (talk | contribs) 22:47, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- To a certain extent, although it relies on episodes having pages.--Launchballer (talk) 23:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
