Category talk:British television sitcoms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi there,

I've been looking at a number of pages in this and similar categories and I can't see any consistency in the labelling of programmes where there is a possible ambiguity. For example, we have Bottom (television), Porridge (TV), Coupling (TV series) and other synonyms such as "show" or "programme". There are also some labelled as "sitcom".

It would look neater and be simpler if there was a common format to follow:

I'd personally opt for (TV) after the name - this seems succinct and we don't really need to know if it's a series or programme etc.. I'd also opt for replacing any that say "sitcom" with "TV" as well. Obviously, with some titles such as The Vicar of Dibley where there are no ambiguities then just leave them as they are - I'm not trying to make this more confusing, I'm trying to simplify it.

Please comment, add further ideas, etc..
