[edit] Rename

I suggest a rename of this template to {{Big Brother USA}} to follow the naming convention of the other templates like this. -- 9cds(talk) 08:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm fine with a rename, if the articles using it, are all updated, to be consistant (e.g. bypass the redirect). --Rob 05:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, done. Can't see any double-redirects, or any problems? -- 9cds(talk) 03:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why the last change?

The old version was better:

  • The year is useful to people who aren't serious fans. After the show is over, "Season 4" will mean nothing, but "2003" will mean something to people.
  • Winners names should appear next to which season they won. The old format conveyed more info, without really using more space.
  • We repeat the words "Big Brother" seven times, even for "Big Brother 7" (aka Big Brother All Stars). Unless you need to show a different title for at least one season, there's need to repeat the show name.

Finally, if the template must be changed so much, it should be done with at least an edit summary explaining it. --Rob 04:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
