Results
OK, few ideas to fix results table to a better look:


 * 1) Call of "st, nd", and left only numbers inside.
 * 2) Use background color to determine the elimination, FF, etc, such as this:


 * Team was eliminated

Explain: Wikilink in "10" is help color blind people to determine what it mean, that mean when user clicking it, it will go to the colorbox.


 * OK, i just provide my idea, please determine whether to use it or not. Thank you. --Aleen f 1 10:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good, but i think should attain consensus. BTW, can you create this month's newsletter using the template?  Shapiros10  contact me My work  19:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

No, i'm not familiar in creating newsletter. You can do it, i think. More consensus needed: COUNTRY – CITY – LOCATION – TASK ICON The repeat word can be waive and save multi million article space. I hope the consensus can be determine as quick as possible before TAR13 start. Thank you. --Aleen f 1 14:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Whether to use table (create in templates) to list the location for more tidy, the queue is:
 * 1) Whether to re-queue the leg's summary, from early task to final task, including additional task, and call-off the bullet list for additional task.
 * The current usage of small to big (in locations) is OK. Big to small will be redundant.

For example, since country is included in main heading, there is no need to include it again in the list. Also, more common English usage is (location), (city/town), (country). It is thus better to retain current usage. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 12:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Table of Contents

 * Just thinking...would it be nice to have a link in the Table of Contents to each leg? Readers can just make one click and go straight to leg 2, or 5 or whatever.  Sam  Blab 01:03, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The prevailing contents link can do that. No thanks. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 11:44, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Updates to TV#MOS
I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized). Please see discussion at WT:MOSTV. Thank you.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  22:10, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Naming convention
I am asking for a concurrence on the naming convention of articles themselves. Is it OK to name the articles as follows: e.g. The Amazing Race Australia, HaMerotz LaMillion e.g. The Amazing Race 21 e.g. The Amazing Race Norge 1, The Amazing Race: China Rush 3
 * The Amazing Race - to refer to the whole international franchise
 * The Amazing Race (U.S) - to refer to the U.S. (original) version
 *  - to refer to a specific version/franchise
 * The Amazing Race - to refer to a season of the U.S. version
 *  - to refer to a season of an international franchise

This is because a user changed The Amazing Race Philippines 1 to The Amazing Race Philippines (season 1), which is INCONSISTENT to general practice. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 22:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Series overview tables
Please come to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Television to discuss the implementation of these tables in television articles, from main articles to List of Episode pages.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  19:25, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Episode title quotes sections violate WP:TRIVIA
I have recently resumed watching The Amazing Race after abandoning the show for several years (due CBS's dick move of putting it up against the Simpsons), and thus I have started looking at its articles as of recent. It seems to me that sections indicating who said the title quotes are unambiguously trivia. During the last Survivor season, someone proposed to add them to Survivor articles, but it was flatly rejected there per WP:TRIVIA. I was wondering is anyone else interesting in removing them? I brought it up at Talk:The_Amazing_Race_25, but other than (in agreement) no one else responded.

Results tables WikiLinking
Looking into the Amazing Race articles for series, there seems to be a criminal underlinking of cast members in the articles. I realize that the articles have a "casting section", where there are a list of members from that series, often linked with corresponding articles, but I feel this would also make sense to be written in the results table. Such as:

I know on some articles, this may not be many articles, but I'd like to see if this was worth updating on the results from series articles.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:07, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Closing inactive task forces
I invite editors to join the discussion at WP:WikiProject Television to close inactive task forces, including this one. Gonnym (talk) 12:11, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
