Talk:Lists of television channels

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Al Jazeera needs to go in here somewhere. But it doesn't fit in well to the nation-based lists. How about a list of worldwide TV channels for Al-Jazeera, CNN (which is also not on the lists), MTV, etc.? -- Hotlorp

What's the difference between this page and Television station? It appears they might be candidates for merging, no? -- Wfeidt

Massive problems[edit]

OMG. Seems the current state of the various "television channels" / "television stations" pages is pretty dismal. Someone needs to create a WikiProject to whip these pages into shape. Needed work includes the following.

  • Standardize page titles:
    • "Station" or "channel" (or both, depending)? (called <whatever> below)
    • Pick one naming convention (adjective and noun refer to place names):
      • "List of African television <whatever>s"
      • "List of Africa television <whatever>s"
      • "List of television <whatever>s in Africa" (I recommend this one)
    • Name pages that only point to other list pages, "Lists of..." (i.e., plural, not singular).
    • Move pages and #REDIRECT, as appropriate.
  • Use bulleted lists when possible; use pipe syntax for tables.
  • Decide what kind of "see also" links should be on each type of page (country, state, city...) and standardize that.
  • Place appropriate Category designations on each page. (In fact, categories should be used as much as possible to reduce the need for direct linking in "See also" sections.)

I really have no desire to take a leading role in this project myself; I just got sucked into trying to improve some of the pages and then discovered the true dimensions of the problem. I'm getting out now, while I still can...

BTW, to see some indication of the problems I'm talking about, poke around the various "list" pages at Category:Lists of television channels. - dcljr 02:48, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)


Add to the list: What is a "television channel"? Is it a frequency? A contract (if so with whom)? Where do "channel number"s (as in the US) fit in?


i am not sure the page follows wikipedia standards[edit]

there is a piece at the bottom of the page about a kashmiri chnnel,,,about azad kashmir(pakistani side of kasmir) which looks like more of a propaganda or advertisement than genuine info...

Bangladesh[edit]

I reverted additions by an anon of Bangladeshi tv. I did not label it vandalism, I reverted mainly because of poor format. I will NOT added with good format because I know nothing about Bangladeshi tv, so if the info is false, I do not want to be part of it. I will inform the editor so that she can add properly.

YetAnotherFoulUp[edit]

Yeah, the Lists of television channels by language section contains a link to List of Israeli television channels, which contains stations in Hebrew, English, Russian, Georgian, and probably Arabic, as well as mixtures of the above. Gzuckier (talk) 19:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
