If you are creating a new page, please name it in accordance with the list below:

  • Subscription TV channel line-ups: List of channels on provider name.
    • If the provider has different line-ups in different areas: List of channels on provider name (location)
    • If you are creating a separate page for local channels that vary based on region: List of location-specific channels on provider name
      • If that list contains all the areas served by the provider, replace location with region.
  • Over-the-air channel line-ups: List of over-the-air television stations in location
    • If the page is a list of a country's cities with OTA listings: List of country-demonym over-the-air television stations
  • Provider line-up changes: List of line-up changes on provider name
    • If there are numerous changes, the listing can be separated into decades: List of line-up changes on provider name in the decades
      • Listings with a very large number of changes can be separated by year: List of line-up changes on provider name in year
  • Master lists: Master list of list type (location)

Linking Guidelines

Please add links in accordance with the list below:

  • Whenever possible, link each station's name to its English Wikipedia article
    • If an English Wikipedia article is not available, native Wikipedia may be used
    • If no Wikipedia article is available, leave the station unlinked - do not link to the station's website
    • For local channels, link to the Wikipedia article that corresponds with that specific local station, and not the affiliate
      • If there is no Wikipedia article for that specific local station, link to the Wikipedia article that lists the affiliates stations of the main network affiliate
      • An exception to this rule is on pages where the table has a column for callsign and network, the main network affiliate may be linked to the networks in the network column.
      • For local subchannels, simply link to the main local channel's Wikipedia page, unless the local subchannel has its own specific Wikipedia page

If you're unsure about how to add the right links, please don't hesitate to ask an admin.

Outdated, defunct, and incomplete listings may also be moved to the creator's user subpages (e.g. User:Tvchannellists/Foxtel) until they are updated or completed.
