Talk:Hi-5 (Australian TV series)

Proposed merge
This is for the discussion of the merge of Hi-5 (Australian TV series) and Hi-5 (Australian band).
 * Oppose. I initiated the split which was requested. The page was far too long and topically, the page would discuss the group and then the television series without any sense of congruence. There are few examples of TV series bands, but another that comes to mind is The Monkees, for which the band and television series are divided here on Wikipedia. I believe to ensure that a topic can be thoroughly covered without trying to cover two distinct topics, we'd be better off keeping the articles separate from one another. -- linca linca  11:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree. The Wiggles is a good example of everthing being on the one page, they are a much more successful and well-known group and all information fits onto one page. The TV show and the band itself are almost one and the same, apart from some occasional touring. Quaidy 23:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose. By this stage the pages have been kept separate and this has been successful. There is now enough scope to view the two as different. Discussion now closed. SatDis (talk) 09:51, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hi-5-logo.png
Image:Hi-5-logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Controversial edits

 * There appears to be disagreement on how to list de Leon Jones on the "Cast" section. The "Cast" section specifies which series the presenters were part of the main cast. de Leon Jones had three guest appearances in Series 9, and this is listed as a note. This is due to the ease of reading; for casual readers to see that she was only part of the main cast for Series 1 to 8. This was approved during the article's Good Article review. The note relays the same information while appearing neater and more accurate. Without the note it looks messy. Please continue discussing if you disagree, rather than immediately changing the article. SatDis (talk) 03:09, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Please listen to me do not put it the note de Leon Jones because it's not messy even without note i am the lawyer like Diana Harkusha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseatienza (talk • contribs) 05:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * See H:FOOT. "Footnotes are used most commonly to provide explanatory information". The footnote displays this further information for interested readers, while leaving "Series 1–8" in the prose signifies the episodes in which she was a main cast member. SatDis (talk) 05:39, 1 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Further controversy at this page and especially Hi-5 (series 2) (see discussion there also) revolves around IP addresses adding random airdates to the series - 2, 4 and 5. With Wikipedia, these need to be referenced - all of the other series provide accurate sources detailing the airdates. Please do not copy airdates from the Wikia page - they are unreferenced and unreliable also. If you can provide a reference, then you can add the airdate. SatDis (talk) 04:26, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * "Series 17" is an informal name and it is referred to on the page as "Series 1" of the revival. There are sources supporting that this is a revived series; and on Stan it is referred to as "Hi-5 (2017) Series 1". It does not make sense to list Series 13, and then Series 17. Readers will need to know what Series 14–16 is, and while we know it as Hi-5 House, technically that is a different show. SatDis (talk) 05:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Listing the specific Series 9 episodes de Leon Jones guest starred in is not essential, as it is already specified on Hi-5 (series 9). Keep the main page as general. SatDis (talk) 09:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Please do not change the awards and nominations section - this relates to WP:ACCESS. There is a violation with those uses of rowspan - screen readers for the visually impaired will not read the text properly with those rowspans in there. Therefore each row needs to be listed separately. In regards to the reworking of the Awards section, please keep as is. The only reason Logies and ARIAs are listed separately is because they are major Australian awards for which Hi-5 had many nominations for. The others can be grouped as "Others" - this saves a significant amount of page bytes. SatDis (talk) 00:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Table of columns for the cast, segments and the amounts of series they did
I've just got a fantastic idea! If that's okay with you, why don't we do a table of columns like on Saturday Disney?! That way, on this article, people who'd go on it will be able to know who did which segment without having to go onto the articles of each series or the member! Thank you! 58.174.1.223 (talk) 14:21, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The correct protocol for these situations is to list the cast members. It can't be put in a table format, for example, because Charli's direct replacement is Casey, but then the segments swapped and Lauren hosted Charli's segment. To avoid confusion, this is only specified in the season articles. The articles should be encyclopedic as possible, and tables complicate this. SatDis (talk) 23:28, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * But what about the amount of series that they've done? Like when they first appeared and when it's their final series? 2001:8003:A98C:F100:E939:AB4:6CA4:B14A (talk) 01:41, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That information is already communicated through the list. A table would serve no further purpose - the only reason it works on the page for Saturday Disney is because the date of the hosts' first and last appearances is available. SatDis (talk) 02:45, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

How Hi-5 (the TV series) was concepted
How about if you put in the original cast/members in that section, like on the article of the band itself of how they've been formed?! 2001:44B8:2FE:C000:9F:FC64:5B22:8419 (talk) 12:09, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * This information is covered in the band page and would just be repeated on the TV series page. The TV page focuses on the conception of the program itself rather than the hosts featured. SatDis (talk) 13:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Then how come there's nothing about the original cast that's been consisted?! It's only been said on the article of the very first series, back in 1999, which was 21 years ago! EDIT: Please, someone do this thing! That way, people would know who started it in the first place! THANK YOU! 2001:8003:A98C:F100:FCAB:44C4:60A6:92C6 (talk) 05:13, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi-5 airing on the ABC
Since when did the show air on the ABC?! They've only appeared on the Nine Network! It was only from 2009 to 2011 when they've had to film the segments over at the ABC Studios! Will you please tell me what exactly is going on?! Thank you! 2001:8003:A909:EA00:69DA:C1BD:C79C:EFE4 (talk) 11:35, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Released series from 2021
About the released series that's coming this year, is this a scam or what?! I've been trying to find out about it, but there's nothing! 2001:8003:AC05:FA00:B1C7:40D:C9E9:FF50 (talk) 06:31, 28 May 2021 (UTC)


 * This is vandalism. There is no new series - the edits should be reverted if added. SatDis (talk) 11:27, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
