This is a wiki all about the game show Countdown. You are welcome to read and edit it at your leisure.

Editing the wiki

To edit pages, click on the blue 'edit' link just above the page you wish to edit. This wiki uses the same notations as the English Language Wikipedia and if you're familiar with that you should have no problem using this wiki.

For users that are not familiar with Wikipedia, here are a list of tips.

To write a heading, use the equals sign (=) twice followed by the heading word, followed by another two equals signs. For sub-headings, use six equals signs, or eight, etc. For example ==Countdown== gives a heading of Countdown.

To create links to other articles, put the link word in square brackets such as [[Countdown]]. If you wish to display a word other than the link word, use a vertical bar, for example [[Countdown|game show]] which will show game show but will link to Countdown.

Red links are links towards article that don't exist yet, or never will do. For example Gatwick Airport has absolutely no relevance to Countdown, so nobody will create that article.

Templates

Templates are indicated by brackets ({{template}}). This can be difficult to use and use many different fields, so in doubt it's best to copy the correct template from another article then change the fields manually.

Images

Images can be uploaded in two ways. Either by click on the upload file on the left on the screen (Special:Upload) or by inserting a red link for an image into an article, then clicking on the red link which will take you to the same upload page. Image links are inserted by making a link prefixed by image: for example [[Image:Gatwick Airport.jpg]] will create a red link which can be clicked on to upload an image of the airport. All images should be uploaded to be used in article or a personal page, completely unused images may be deleted.
