Australia: Television Project‑class

WikiProject Australian television is within the scope of WikiProject Australia, which aims to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of Australia and Australia-related topics. If you would like to participate, visit the project page.AustraliaWikipedia:WikiProject AustraliaTemplate:WikiProject AustraliaAustralia Project This page does not require a rating on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale. This page is supported by WikiProject Australian television.

More participants needed

Hi everyone, I've been looking at our active participants list on the project page lately and found that there are just 19 active editors who still edit Misplaced Pages and who are part of this project.

So, I was wondering whether all members could please attempt to recruit more editors to join this project. I know it's easier said than done, but it would be nice to have additional editors around here to help us edit the large project that is Australian TV.

No doubt you all know this already, but editors can be recruited by posting comments on the user talk pages of other editors who regularly edit Australian television articles, or who edit television articles in general. You can also view the edit history of Australian television articles to find like-minded editors from there.

I will post a message on the WikiProject Television talk page and reach out to other editors to see whether I can recruit editors myself. Hopefully we'll see a few more members around here soon. All the best everyone, Lotsw73 (talk) 05:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Australian cinema task force

Hello everyone, I stumbled across a task force called the Australian cinema task force. I was wondering whether anyone here would consider joining the task force and perhaps reviving it. Thoughts? Lotsw73 (talk) 03:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lots - I've added myself to both mainly because I do edit film and TV articles from time to time, including at the moment. I don't really want to be involved in driving the task force though, because I like to edit on a range of topics rather than confine myself to one (and like most of us, have limited time and energy and only edit erratically).

@Laterthanyouthink: Fair enough. :) Lotsw73 (talk) 11:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Alone Australia

Hi everyone, Just wondering whether any members here might be able to assist me in improving the Alone Australia article. I am trying to add ratings to the episode tables, but I don't understand the data that has been published on the TV Tonight website, here. Can anyone help with adding the ratings to the tables or by explaining how the data works? Kind regards, Lotsw73 (talk) 07:18, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Since the table columns don't have proper headings, it is hard to know for certain what the values reflect. However, when the new VOZ system was introduced, an example table was printed with proper headings on the blog post entitled New VOZ numbers a game-changer for TV ratings. Though also note that the dated ratings articles with the tables will be deleted after two years, and I would be more comfortable citing information from the daily Ratings Wrap articles such as this one from earlier this week which is not in such a danger of being deleted. I have previously raised the issue on this talk page, but it has now been archived. Hope that all helps. Reader781 (talk) 22:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

If you need still need help with finding the ratings articles rather than the table data, just let me know and I can do that for you. I have this page in my watchlist. Reader781 (talk) 22:54, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Reader781, thank you very much for your reply. I have now added ratings to the Season 2 table using the Ratings Wrap articles, but I am not sure whether I need to note that the ratings are based on television viewers only. Also, I have not been able to find an article for each episode. I will keep looking, but would you mind assisting me in finding the remaining ratings data, perhaps for Season 1 also? Many thanks, Lotsw73 (talk) 10:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I have added as many ratings figures and references as I could to Season 1. I'm not sure why some daily articles seem to be missing (or at least not mentioning Alone), but ten out of the twelve episodes of Season 1 now show ratings data. Reader781 (talk) 23:10, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

ABC Entertains

Would someone mind taking a look at ABC Entertains? The channel apparently underwent a rebranding that included a logo change, and some IPs have been trying to add the "new" logo by just changing the syntax in the infobox without uploading a new file to either Commons or Misplaced Pages. In addition, ABC Entertains#Programming seems like it might be a bit redundant to List of programs broadcast by ABC (Australian TV network). -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

The channel itself rebranded from its previous name ABC Me on 3 June 2024 (citation below). I will try to upload the logo when I can.
