- 23:46, 4 January 2021 (hist) (diff) Index H (Updated the number of people who have served as HIGNFY guest presenters - Romesh Ranganathan was the only new one in 2020)
- 21:34, 4 January 2021 (hist) (diff) Britain's Best Parent? (→Synopsis: corrected minor typo - no 'a's in Patrick Freyne's surname ;))
- 07:15, 2 January 2021 (hist) (diff) Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow (Five does seem to be the official number of series, too. What, however, was the official last-ever show? The last-ever *live* show was on 11th March 2006; what aired on the 18th was a highlights show)
- 07:00, 2 January 2021 (hist) (diff) Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow (→Broadcast: ...and it certainly should be pointed out in some way that the airings on BBC1 and 2 were simulcasts with the CBBC Channel)
- 06:57, 2 January 2021 (hist) (diff) Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow (→Broadcast: there's certainly merit in saying "CBBC Channel" rather than just "CBBC", anyway...)
- 06:54, 2 January 2021 (hist) (diff) Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow (With all the respect in the world, Simon, I feel this is a situation in which you should have explained what you were doing and why, rather than leave the rest of us to work it out for ourselves...)
- 20:47, 19 December 2020 (hist) (diff) Countdown (→Champions: is it spoilerific to point out the Series 82 champion a day and a bit after the broadcast of the Grand Final? If so, feel free to delete, then add them back when it isn't)
- 20:44, 19 December 2020 (hist) (diff) Countdown (→Champions: added the Series 81 champion. This means a 21st row for this table - hoping my copying and pasting skills haven't let me down here)
- 18:07, 7 December 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: we will see Nick hosting Countdown in 2021, but not beyond. I think it's worth pointing out, too, that he's lasted longer in the role than Des, Des and Jeff)
- 18:03, 7 December 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: with all due respect, this is probably a less cumbersome way of referring to the best-known Europe song ;))
- 09:29, 3 December 2020 (hist) (diff) Weaver's Week 2020-11-22 (Oui, c'est Banijay :))
- 09:23, 3 December 2020 (hist) (diff) Name That Tune (→The Crown Jools: *four* links to Jools' article in this section? Surely only one is sufficient... I also think "Monarch of the Melody" should be between quotation marks rather than italicised :))
- 13:04, 30 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (→Key moments: pointed out the date of Richard Deeley's game. According to the press, he subsequently claimed that he had intended his actions as a joke - inspired by Chris, no less)
- 07:45, 29 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Jacpot (→Trivia: well, since it was based on the American show Jackpot - and also since just about every Welsh-language word containing 'J' is adopted from English (others: jar, garej, jiraff)... ;)) (top)
- 21:05, 24 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Index G (→Shows: shouldn't all the "Great" shows be listed alphabetically *and* without regard to definite articles? And without regard to hosts' names, too)
- 20:46, 24 November 2020 (hist) (diff) The Great British Bake Off (Ten years - and three months - since the first ever signature challenge)
- 03:01, 24 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Winning Combination (I don't mean to steal David B's job here - but I don't think any of us want to see what Wikipedia terms an edit war. Perhaps the memorability of these moments should be discussed on the Staffers page?)
- 21:01, 23 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Who Dares Wins (→Synopsis: no longer a Lottery tie-in, obvs)
- 20:59, 23 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Who Dares Wins (Interestingly enough, the change occurred *during* the ninth series - the first four episodes of this series went out in October and November '16, and the remaining nine between January and April '17)
- 20:56, 23 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Who Dares Wins (There were three other Lottery shows besides WDW still running at the end of 2016 - and I don't think it's unfair to say that not listing these shows is unfinished business... ;))
- 20:50, 23 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Who Dares Wins (To be pedantic, it was late November 2016 when the Beeb announced that the Lottery draws would no longer be shown on BBC1 - their final airing on the channel being that New Year's Eve, of course)
- 19:59, 23 November 2020 (hist) (diff) 1 vs 100 (→Trivia: with respect, this is probably a better way to describe where each series was filmed)
- 19:50, 23 November 2020 (hist) (diff) 1 vs 100 (All the music was composed by Augustin Bousfield)
- 20:11, 22 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Raise the Roof (→Theme music: clarified that Woolmans composed a full score) (top)
- 20:08, 22 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Don't Try This at Home! (Think it's worth pointing out that Mike Woolmans composed the incidental music, especially as he had an on-screen credit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RAEzdog2RU&ab_channel=TonyWiseman (at 52:18))
- 20:01, 22 November 2020 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers (→Edit queries - November 2020: in response to David B, I still think we should mention anyone not responsible for a show's main theme but responsible for the same show's incidental music)
- 19:30, 22 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Category:Tiger Aspect Productions (Endemol UK and Endemol Shine Group were not the exact same entity, as far as I'm aware...)
- 15:06, 17 November 2020 (hist) (diff) UKGameshows:Staffers (→Edit queries - November 2020: where a composer or composers wrote a full score for a show, should the heading be just "Music" rather than "Theme music"?)
- 14:40, 16 November 2020 (hist) (diff) The Chase (→Catchphrases: of course, there are variations of "Time to face the Chaser" for when (s)he first comes on set, and for the Final Chase)
- 13:07, 15 November 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: pointed out the great age that Des was, and how far his career stretched back)
- 16:23, 9 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Herio'r Ddraig (→Trivia: here's the translation of the title)
- 15:57, 9 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Index H (Since HIGNFY has used guest presenters for 18 years, and the number of people to have served as one has reached three figures... Also added Xander and Brucie as the most frequent and best respectively)
- 15:15, 9 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Nick Hewer (→Web links: corrected the link to Nick's Wikipedia article) (top)
- 15:14, 9 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Nick Hewer (→Biography: time for an update, as it's been six years now since Nick sat next to Alan and Karren for the final time. Also added his middle name)
- 14:39, 9 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Index H (→People: no link to Nick Hewer's article? Better put that right ;))
- 14:31, 9 November 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: ...juuuuust in case anyone unfamiliar with Countdown wonders "who's Nick?" ;))
- 20:01, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) File:StrikeItLucky1989.jpg (Oops - somehow forgot to tell my left from my right there...) (top)
- 19:59, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Strike it Lucky (A higher resolution image of the Strike it Lucky logo, taken from a repeat of a 1989 episode (not much that can be done about the Challenge DOG at the top left, alas))
- 19:55, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) N File:StrikeItLucky1989.jpg (The Strike it Lucky logo in 1989. Not much that can be done about the Challenge DOG at the top right, alas.)
- 04:46, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Can i Gymru (Y logo Cân i Gymru)
- 04:41, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) N File:Can-i-gymru.jpeg (Y logo Cân i Gymru) (top)
- 04:15, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) Concro'r Cwm (Here's one bit of info, anyway - the translation of the title :))
- 04:02, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) News Archive (→Game show news: a better image (I hope) of the Sky logo for the Chop story)
- 03:55, 2 November 2020 (hist) (diff) N File:SkyLogoMulticoloured.jpg (The multi-coloured variant of the current (as of 2020) Sky logo) (top)
- 01:35, 30 October 2020 (hist) (diff) Raise the Roof (Call me picky here - but I don't think there's any great need for Action Time's name to be italicised, or for Bob's full name to be stated in three picture captions rather than just the first ;))
- 01:20, 30 October 2020 (hist) (diff) Raise the Roof (Three clips of the end game on YouTube, and in each, the 54 question categories were the exact same - so I'm assuming they were the same for all 17 episodes. Might as well list them in that case ;))
- 01:21, 28 October 2020 (hist) (diff) Weakest Link (Anne almost always picked up on when a team had a chain of nine or more correct answers in a round yet failed to reach the £1,000 target, and usually asked "Who kept banking?" or something similar)
- 04:26, 26 October 2020 (hist) (diff) Index P (→Shows: Pen Campau is the first of the "Pe" shows alphabetically)
- 23:41, 23 October 2020 (hist) (diff) The Family Brain Games (→Broadcast: fewer words, as all eight eps aired in a single calendar month) (top)
- 16:01, 23 October 2020 (hist) (diff) Poll of the Year 2019 (Impossible ----> !mpossible ;))
