Bolders!!

why are some of the names bold, be nice to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.105.246 (talk) 10:15, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the Bold names are the contestants who "won" the series. Philedmondsuk (talk) 20:03, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How tasks are delivered…

The declaration in the format section: “All the tasks are delivered in an envelope with a wax seal” is demonstrably wrong. They are often on a piece of paper, folded into three, and sealed, or (on at least one occasion) rolled into a sealed scroll, and sealed in a toy balloon. I’m not even sue that an envelope is used that often, or may have been used less after a certain point in the series. Jock123 (talk) 10:54, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 September 2017

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved as follows:

Taskmaster → Taskmaster (comics)
Taskmaster (disambiguation) → Taskmaster

— Amakuru (talk) 19:52, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taskmaster (TV series) → Taskmaster
Taskmaster → Taskmaster (character)

– The television show is now in its fifth series and has an American adaptation, which I believe now makes it the primary topic over the comic book character. Pageviews (see here) for every page listed on Taskmaster (disambiguation) show that the television show is the page receiving most views – on most days, more than the other three pages combined. I imagine that this will increase dramatically as the fifth series continues (there was a noticeable spike about a week ago when the first episode was released online), and also that some views on the Marvel Comics character are unintentional (I have visited it a few times by accident looking for the television show). — Bilorv_(talk)^(c)(e) 11:20, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose first this is a generic term and UK TV comedy game show cannot pass the second criteria of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC any more than the Marvel character does. (and in fact doesn't pass the first according to page views above 1,204 of 2,369 isn't primary). Support second, but to Taskmaster (comics), then move Taskmaster (disambiguation) into vacant slot. Also Taskmaster (US TV series), means moving the UK original to Taskmaster (UK TV series) doesn't it? In ictu oculi (talk) 14:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
1204 is more than half of 2369, so the page views are accounting for more than every other topic combined, as the first requirement specifies. I'm not sure I understand your objection to the second requirement, which is: "it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term". What other topic are you associated with that term? Plenty of words and phrases in the English language will take you to a page about a specific topic that took its name from that term – Friends and Cheers spring to mind. We're not comparing it to word meanings (we're not wiktionary), only other topics associated with the term,; I don't understand why we would put neither article at Taskmaster if one is clearly more commonly searched for than the other. — Bilorv_(talk)^(c)(e) 16:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Come on, you should know that 55% is not enough to be automatic. and if we wind the view out to 12 months we can see plenty of days where the other colour lines not just together but even individually outdo the blue line. And besides THERE ARE TWO CRITERIA TO WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (caps for shouting :) because it appears normal text wasn't enough above). In ictu oculi (talk) 18:09, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose first move for the TV series. Support second move, but to Taskmaster (comics). Fortdj33 (talk) 17:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Would support making the disambiguation page, the primary topic. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:09, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose first move. It's a generic term. Support second move to Taskmaster (comics). Move Taskmaster (disambiguation) to Taskmaster. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I agree with the opposition with @Fortdj33: and @Necrothesp:. If the consensus is the merge to Taskmaster (comics), perhaps the Taskmaster link can be redirected to the disambiguation or something. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:09, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of contestants?

Why was the list of contestants (and consequently winners) removed? It's one of the main reasons I check this page. I agree that it might've been better in table form, but removing it completely is wrong. Also the 'International Broadcasts' section is duplicated in the top section.
