In addition to a "most consecutive wins" list, someone needs to list a "most wins by a song" section too, because songs like "Gangnam Style" has won more times than any other song, but it is non-consecutive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.129.81.76 (talk) 15:41, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

OST Chart

Revision review
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Music_Bank_(TV_series)&oldid=1048480657

Need to discuss about this: This revision has controversial section which is relevant. Someone revert it without reason then I revert it again. Then I do self-revert for precaution. This discussion below is for whether these information should be added. 1Way4Together - J. Smile &#124; Please comment on content, not on me 06:52, 6 October 2021 (UTC)


 * It doesn't seem very notable to me. The first line about having more controversies is unsourced. There's no context at why these are controversial, other than single events of "fans get mad about X" and producers respond. The whole copy'n'paste of the response isn't particularly useful. If there were better sources that these are controversies that had significant coverage and lead to changes within their business, maybe I'd feel more supportive. I think this essay on controversy sections best summarizes it: Avoid mixed bag section titles like "Controversies" without it being clear in the section title (or in the titles of the subsections of such section) what these controversies are about.

Ranking systems
The ranking system stopped in 2001 and was implemented again in 2007; that means there were no winners in between. All of these were added almost two years ago by a bunch of random IPs (this is the version before the changes). No idea where that data came from. I'll remove the additions but wanted to explain here why in case someone decides to restore them.

Regarding the number of ranking systems, some changes were made recently. At the beggining of the year we had 5 systems; that was later changed to 7 systems and then to 14 systems. None of these changes are sourced, but I'm not even sure the previous version (5 systems) was correct. I would get rid of the whole "top ten highest scores" section because it doesn't really add anything of value and is prone to vandalism, unless someone manages to find a proper source supporting the data presented there. - Ïvana (talk) 01:39, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I see you created standalone articles for the wins from 2009 onwards. The sources you managed to find support the wins, but not the points. Take this edit for example; a lot of points were added, but there's no source. I know the kbs website has data from the beggining of 2013 till today so that's covered, but from 2009-2012 it's mostly speculation. There's no way to know if that data is legit or not. - Ïvana (talk) 05:07, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Ïvana, I support removing the scores from those articles since it hasn't been sourced for years. I also support removing the list of winners from 1998 to 2008 and placing a note like the one on M Countdown. --  EN  - Jungwon  05:41, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Linking to hosts
Most of the program's hosts are easy to link to: either they have their own page, or they are a member of a group that has its own page. On the 24th of May however one of the hosts was Jo of DXMON, in which case neither he nor the group has a page. Currently he is listed without any kind of link, and I think it's safe to say that most people encountering the entry would have no idea whom it refers to.

What to do then? My own approach to solving this was to add a red link, accompanied by an interlanguage link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Music_Bank_(TV_program)&oldid=1225558068

As the red link page says they are recommended “whenever a non-existent article with more information would help a reader understand the content of the article in which the red link will appear,” which I believe applies in this case. On the other hand it says that one should not create red links to “articles that are unlikely to be created and retained on Wikipedia” but that's not an issue here; articles about K-pop group are widespread and thus DXMON are likely to eventually have their own. The red link page also recommends adding an interlanguage link “instead of or next to a red link” in situations like this and I obliged, given they already have a page in the Korean Wikipedia.

Unfortunately my edits were reverted by an anonymous editor without an explanation, and I didn't want to start an edit war. Where to go from here? Do people think my approach was incorrect, or that there are better ways to add the missing context? Ravinglogician (talk) 07:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
