List of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes (2010–present)

Hey buddy! Since BB: All-Stars 2 will start soon just wanted to drop a line that we may need to keep an eye on List of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes (2010–present) because I have a feeling it may max out on templates as the new season progresses and may need another split. If that does happen we may want to look at how List of The Simpsons episodes work. That is FL and has the most recent seasons listed at the main page. Currently Lists of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes is service as a disambiguation page. What do you think? Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 01:49, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

@Alucard 16: I've always disliked the way that the naming was handled for The Simpsons LoE pages mainly because the main page with the current episodes doesn't provide any disambiguation from the previous years. At the time I created I believe I had used Lists of Doctor Who episodes (List of Doctor Who episodes (1963–1989) and List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present)) as an example when setting it up. Ideally my original plan was hoping that the current setup was able to hold through the end of the current season, then IF a 23rd season happened when we're able to create an episode table for it we'd split the 22nd to a new article that would also have the 23rd episode table and just continue with the current naming scheme by naming the new article List of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes (2020–present) and renaming the other page to List of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes (2010–2019). I know there is a link to the other list that explains the list has been split due to template limits but it could easily be missed by a reader. If you don't think it's a problem I'd be open to considering The Simpsons method.
As a side thought, something that wasn't on Lists of Doctor Who episodes when I originally created the BB lists is the Series Overview table. Thoughts on either transcluding it to Lists of Big Brother (American TV series) episodes or housing the table there and then transcluding it to the other two articles? TheDoctorWho (talk) 00:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Appears an IP added the overview to the disambig page for Doctor Who. I don't think disambig pages should have an overview tbh. I like your method too! I say we just keep with the current method but keep a close eye on that page just in the event we may need to move S22. Hopefully it can fit but since the episode tables are using the parts template to identify weeks it could push it over the limit especially if CBS runs this season for a full 99 days to fill in programming gaps in the fall.

Series Overview: Roll Call

I would have gladly responded to a talk page note about this, as I don't believe edit summaries should be that long. In any case, the series overview box you composed is fine, and in fact, I think it's better to have it than not have it. Andrew Englehart (talk) 19:54, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the message, I'm truly glad that we've finally reached a compromise. Thanks for removing the links from the series overview table, I missed that when I just copied it from the version history. If you get around to editing the tables and need any help, let me know, I work with episode tables quite a bit so I'll help if/when I can! TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:45, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
@Andrew Englehart: to above response, forgot to ping. TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:49, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

List of Superstore episodes

It's air dates that are used, not pre-release dates. 2001:470:1F2D:C:78EF:4AF3:28D2:17F7 (talk) 01:07, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I've left a response on your talk page. Thanks, TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
You are wrong, Hulu is not the show's provider, NBC is. Both neXt and Filthy Rich released episodes before their airdates on FOX, but the airdate on FOX is the one used, that's the point of the note. Their are dozens of other examples of this as well. 2001:470:1F2D:C:78EF:4AF3:28D2:17F7 (talk) 02:58, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
An original network is any network that airs the first run of an episode. Even if it is only one episode. Hulu now meets those requirements and October 23 is the official release date as it was the first time the episode "aired." It is that plain and simple. Again it is also supported by WP:TV, feel free to open a discussion there if you must. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:03, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
The show's network is NBC. Hulu isn't even a network and is a on-demand provider of the show after it's aired. Also the table states airdate, not release date, Also your note has no citation of the Hulu date. 2001:470:1F2D:C:78EF:4AF3:28D2:17F7 (talk) 03:09, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Hulu airs original shows so it is considered a network. Air date, release date, same thing in this instance. Give me two minutes I'll grab a source. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:12, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
It's not even on Hulu yet. superstore 2001:470:1F2D:C:78EF:4AF3:28D2:17F7 (talk) 03:30, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
It was removed prior to the episodes airing on NBC and will be readded after, it's all in the reliable source I added. I've also attempted a compromise if you haven't seen that yet. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:42, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
That futon source doesn't not state they removed it and that source should have been invalidated with the other one when NBC put out the rescheduled press release. Stop making things up. Since it's not up on Hulu they may done it by mistake but you have no proof of that. 2001:470:1F2D:C:78EF:4AF3:28D2:17F7 (talk) 06:59, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
It was not a mistake, the source clearly states Streaming October 19 - October 26 meaning the only mistake was 19 as opposed to 23 since that is the release date. It is not invalidated because it happened, your primary source, Hulu, is not reliable in this case. TheDoctorWho (talk) 17:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello TheDoctorWho,

A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hi TheDoctorWho,
You are adding WP:SYNTH though because The Futon Critic never explicitly stated that is the date they posted it. You are clearly just assuming. It is not on the listing page itself. For example, this [1] is actually shows the published date at the top of the press release. — YoungForever(talk) 05:22, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
