Finish formatting

edit

If we could finish formatting the rest of the seasons, it would make the article look much better. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 06:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm trying to work on that. Any help would be awesome, though! Maximus23623 (talk) 16:56, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Good stuff, thanks for your help. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:48, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

I formatted season seven, but I didn't know I wasn't logged in when I did it. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 16:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Games played in each episode

edit

Should we add which games were played in each episode? Bdfortin (talk) 11:04, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Adding a list of the games is one thing, but adding details about who palyed each game, outcome, etc. is too much for a list. This isn't a fan compendium, just an encyclopedia. As to addiang a simple list, the current table is aleardy a bit too wide for some screens at low resolutions. If we do that, I'd recommend putting the perfermers in one column (perhaps with 2 lines), and removing the color-coding for the "winner", since the winners are arbitrary anyway. - BilCat (talk) 12:27, 21 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm wondering if "Performer 3" and "Performer 4" columns are even necessary, since it is always Colin and Ryan. That'd save you space.71.238.213.170 (talk) 05:12, 27 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Season setups

edit

I was wondering why the seasons are not the same that the official Whose Line is it Anyway site has. According to http://www.cwseed.com/shows/whose-line-is-it-anyway they are currently on Season 13 Episode 5 as the last one. They show more episodes than are listed for Seasons 11 and 12. I would also point out that news articles about the renewals talk of 20 to 24 episodes not the 16 or so listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C4D4:5A80:28E3:598A:B383:8F04 (talk) 23:45, 7 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Where are the season lists coming from.

edit

According to the CW seed site which is the content creators of the show they are episode 7 of Season 13, not season 14. I should point our that one episode of season 14 has aired which is the 2nd show of the current run this summer.

Episode table parameters

edit

Is there any reason the tables are the way they currently are, with the title parameter being used for the date? The date of episodes should be put in airdate, especially given the fact that the revival series has episode titles- these actual titles of episodes should be used instead of just the date as the episode titles.

If no one is opposed to this, I'll gladly update the articles to be using the correct table parameters. See Template:Episode table for more help on what parameters/fields should be used for what. Magitroopa (talk) 21:36, 6 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also seeing now that Viewers is being used for the special guest stars, and Aux4 is being used for the viewership data. Yeah, no... this definitely should be fixed. Magitroopa (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I agree with your overall point – the performers for each episode should be moved to the ShortSummary parameter, or alternatively could be moved to an entirely separate table. But what's going in here is an abuse of the intended uses to the {{episode table}}/{{episode list}} templates. --IJBall (contribstalk) 01:46, 17 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
BTW, this is a somewhat better (or, at least, less egregious) formulation of using the episode tables this way:
No.
overall
No. in
season
Performer 1Performer 2Performer 3Performer 4Original air dateU.S. ratings / viewers (millions)
11"Greg Proops"Wayne BradyColin MochrieRyan StilesAugust 5, 1998 (1998-08-05)7.6 rating, 7.4 million
FWIW. --IJBall (contribstalk) 01:46, 17 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Better but this runs into complications where the first performer is formatted differently than Performers 2-4 since Title has a default formatting style by applying quotes to anything entered. Also later seasons have a Special Guests the fourth performer is using ProdCode while the special guest is using Viewers. ProdCode is placed after OriginalAirDate in the template coding. Here is a format that would use the fields as appropriate (note title is defaulting to Episode #):
No.
overall
No. in
season
TitleOriginal air dateU.S. viewers
(millions)
3401"Episode 1"March 30, 2020 (2020-03-30)0.87
Maybe this format would work better. The season articles is a better place for performers, guests etc. The main overall list article doesn't really need that detailed info. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 13:24, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
