Countdown talk:Proposals

Category:Contestants on other television shows

Contestants on other game shows is probably equally as hard to track, and I've found 15 that fit into other television shows. TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Maybe "Category:Contestants with eight prelim octorun conundrum solves"? TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Contestants with eight prelim centuries

No one in the 480 club got eight scores over 60 in their prelims. TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Deceased people

I know it's hard to track because of contestants, but we'd obviously only add the category if they've confirmed to have passed away, and I expect it would mostly contain celebrities. TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Move all Letters and Numbers pages into mainspace

What do we do with Category:Episodes of Countdown in other countries then? TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Make titles of Co-event pages more consistent

Can we at least agree that there aren't actually any official guidelines for this atm, and that inconsistency is an issue? There's also nowhere that says we need to use abbreviations for titles on this wiki - they can always be mentioned in the article. A couple of points I've found on Wikipedia are:

1. "Consistency – The title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles" (source)

2. "Always consider whether it is better to write a word or phrase out in full, thus avoiding potential confusion for those not familiar with its abbreviation" (source)

Another thing is the individual games in Co-events. Titles like "Episode COLIN20051" are really confusing. So I've figured out a new system that makes the titles a lot nicer, like "Countdown in Lincoln 2005/Game 1". TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Delete the minor online tournaments

We should probably also consider how many people care about these pages, especially the ones that don't even have any recaps or don't explain how the tournament worked. We also don't want to make extra work for ourselves as it's already a lot of work to maintain everything else.

A similar argument could possibly be made for most people in Category:People who have not appeared on Countdown, which could vastly reduce the number of red links if we don't link them anymore. TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Page names of non-regular series

The link I provided shows some examples. This page also supports sentence case. TobyMcDonald 17:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
