There seems to be some edit warring going on. First, it didn't link the contestants by itself. Then it did; it was following this change that I added a 5th parameter to be a series winner flag, thereby saving the clutter that is Oliver Garner{{!!}}'''Oliver Garner'''. Now it's been changed back.

Whatever we do, ISTM we could do with more consistency in whether templates auto-link or not. The various progress table templates do at the moment. {{ep}} doesn't, but that makes sense as it means we can avoid repeated links. And I've just realised that if we make it so that {{pc}} and therefore the progress tables don't auto-link, we can deal better with such oddball cases as Series 2.

I therefore propose that we standardise on not auto-linking contestants' names in templates. Any objections? -- smjg 14:55, 1 October 2010 (BST)
