Project Updates

A number of recent discussions have occurred to bring the Big Brother WIkiProject closer inline with Wikipedia guidelines and policies
- Recent move discussions have allowed the project to follow Wikipedia's naming conventions for television:
  - An initial discussion was a first attempt at allowing community input on moving Big Brother articles.
  - A mass move request resulted from the above discussion however, it was closed as no consensus due to the largeness of the request
  - Other smaller move requests shortly followed suit on whether or not articles needed renaming.These requests and their result are listed: Africa, moved; Big Brother: Over the Top, moved; Gran Hermano USA, moved; VIP Brother, moved; Finnish, moved; Gran Hermano Spain, moved; Secret Story Portuguese, moved; United Kingdom, moved; United States, moved.
  - Following a community-wide request for comment at NCTV it was decided that American and British should be used as disambiguators over U.S. and UK. All affected Big Brother articles were subsequently moved.
- A recent discussion on the former Template:Big Brother housemates and Template:Big Brother endagame was brought to replace these outdated infoboxes.
  - The issue was eventually brought to TFD with a result to merge with Template:Infobox television season.
  - Template:Infobox reality competition season was created to nest inside Template:Infobox television season and all infoboxes were replaced.
- In addition a discussion also took place on the former Template:Big Brother sidebar and country specific sidebars.
  - The result was delete and all templates were replaced with Template:Infobox television.

Project objectives

Continue to improve Big Brother articles to bring them inline with MOS:TV
- All Big Brother parent articles should contain {{Infobox television}} and {{Series overview}}, either housed on the article or transcluded from a List of Episodes article, if there is more than one season of the series (see Big Brother (American TV series) and Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) for examples).
- All Big Brother season articles should contain {{Infobox television season}} with the module {{Infobox reality competition season}} (see Big Brother Canada (season 9) for an example).
- The use of {{Episode table}} and {{Episode list}} with episode summaries of 200 words or less, or a general prose summary of 500 words or less, are preferred over other tables or formats (see Big Brother 23 (American season) for example).
- Both Big Brother parent and season articles should follow the general format of articles described at MOS:TV (see Big Brother 21 (American season) for an example).
- Any Big Brother series containing only one season should use {{Infobox television}}, {{Episode table}}, and {{Episode list}} in its article but not {{Series overview}} or any other season-specific templates such as {{Infobox television season}} (see Big Brother: Over the Top for an example).
- Where possible both Big Brother parent and season articles should have information regarding production of the series.
Per this discussion individual seasons of Big Brother should no longer contain a standalone article of contestants.
The Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television has caused numerous seasons or editions to be cancelled, postponed, or adjusted significantly; any information relating to this can be added in appropriate production sections.
