[edit] Template:Big Brother 2008 (UK) unnecessary
Now that the article is semi-protected and the show has actually started, wouldn't it just be simpler and more effective to put Big Brother housemates back as the regular template? Geoking66talk 21:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Template:Big Brother 2008 (UK) should be deleted as it is not needed. It is just a copy of Template:Big Brother housemates except it is set up to only be used with this series. I propose delete and use the regular template just like every other Big Brother article does. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 21:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Nominated Template:Big Brother 2008 (UK) for deletion. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but with the original we cannot change to the colours. StewieGriffin! • Talk 20:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Change the colors? The colors in Template:Big Brother housemates and Template:Big Brother endgame were decided upon after lengthy discussion so the two templates would be compatible with any version of Big Brother on Wikipedia regardless of format. There is no reason to change any of the colors in either template or is there any reason as to why the UK version should have an exclusive color group apart from the AU version or the US version. Here is the list of colors that was decided upon after lengthy and I do mean lengthy discussions:
- - Winner (Endgame Only)
- - Nominated (Housemates)/Runner-Up (Endgame)
- - Head of Household* (Housemates Only)
- - Evicted/Re-Evicted
- - Walked
- - Ejected/Expelled
- - Extra Color 1 (three)
- - Extra Color 2 (five)
- Another reason why the colors are the way they are is so when viewers go to any Big Brother articles these colors are the same in the infoboxes and the nomination tables and voting history tables. If a color needs to be changed it can be done by editing the actual template itself but the colors should not be modified without a discussion. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- And look at my sandbox for an example for when someone is evicted, ejected, nominated, and walked. The colors seem to work to me. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 22:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- As a sidenote as it has to do with the template, remember when we had both the first and surnames in the template (until about 75% of the way through 2006)? I think that we should go back to that. It gives the template more prominence than its current form which is a thin line on the right of the screen and it looks more professional. Geoking66talk 00:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- I remember the endgame template having last names until 2006 but I don't remember them on the housemates template due to the "intricate features of template syntax" bit. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 00:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- We could probably get away with just adding last names to section headers once the housemates are split off into their own article. I don't know why so many were against it (the surnames were taken off at the same time during mid 2006 from housemates and endgame, it started with Australia). Geoking66talk 00:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- I remember in the USA versions all articles using the endgame template had the last names but the current season didn't. Someone mentioned that one of the other versions didn't use surnames in the endgame template and the USA pages shouldn't. I actually think the surnames are good when using the endgame template but just first names with the housemates template. Reason being is that the infobox becomes wider once the surnames are added and for an in-progress season its best to keep it simple since it doesn't collapse (if that makes any sense). ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 01:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mario in Brits Behind Bars.
Gotta say, the youtube video here looks a lot like Mario. I've read in quite a few places that he was in Brits Behind Bars, so I dunno if someone maybe wants to add this in? Exxy (talk) 12:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think that there are many reasons not to include this, and none to include it at this time. If you can find some reliable source which specifically says it's him, then maybe this information can be included (i.e. where exactly have you read this?). Guinness (talk) 12:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ninth Series not Series 9
All the previous BBs have the number written out and this series needs to follow the established style. Let's keep it as Ninth Series before it descends in to lamiosity. Darrenhusted (talk) 11:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tables don't match
The nominations table doesn't match the weekly summary table. It says 12 housemates passed their task. The weekly summary table doesn't say those housemates had a task. The nominations table and the summary table both say 4 housemates failed their tasks, but the ref given, [1], doesn't say that. Also, the weekly summary table says that a part of the secret task of the first 4 housemates is to "convince the other housemates that Mario is in a relationship with Stephanie." That's incorrect. They only have to prevent the 12 others from discovering that Mario and Lisa are a couple. Also, the weekly summary table doesn't mention the wedding task. --Geniac (talk) 16:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think the Nomination Table is right, beacuse all 12 housemates HAD to guess who was the real couple, they HAD passed THEIR task really, also, I think we should add an Event table rather than add Wedding To Task section. --BigOz22 (talk) 23:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Improving Highlights Section
I think we should improve the Highlight section by making the events seperated, not like an essay, beacuse that confuses a lot. --BigOz22 (talk) 23:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
