Although it's not directly related to the RuPaul's Drag Race franchise per se, I'm having a problem that I need some help with that is indirectly related to this project, so I thought I'd ask here for some assistance.

I've been trying to add weekly episode summaries to

This might be related: If {{Episode list/sublist}} is used then the page name must be specified to display the summary there, e.g. {{Episode list/sublist|List of Carnivàle episodes|...}}. The summary will not appear if the code is transcluded in another page. This is from the documentation for Template:Episode list/sublist. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. That fixed it; I'm ordinarily not used to episode lists in which the page title actually has to be individually respecified at all, so it doesn't make a ton of sense to me why that parameter would even be necessary, but that was the ticket. Thanks again. Bearcat (talk) 15:03, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Anyone able to add the title card or promotional artwork to the Painted with Raven infobox? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 06:06, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

For Season 14 Episodes 1 and 2, there have been multiple edits on the queens' HIGH and SAFE placements. I edited Jasmine Kennedie from SAFE to HIGH as she did not receive a single negative critique from the judges. Lady Camden also received 100% positive critiques. Jorgeous received positive critiques, but was told her lip sync could have been tighter by multiple judges. For this reason, I edited her to SAFE, as her critiques per the judges were not 100% positive like Camden's and Kennedie's. Another user has repeatedly edited the table inconsistently (either edits only Jorgeous to HIGH and leaves Kennedie HIGH or edits both Jorgeous to HIGH and Kennedie to SAFE) without explanation. Also, I have corrected a typo in the Legend where the word 'positive' is misspelled and this user has undone that revision as well.

I am aware of the previous discussion concerning the contestant progress table and the subjectivity of its contents. Though most episodes have clear top and bottom performers as discussed by the judges, not every episode follows the same format. The HIGH, LOW placements should be included when possible. However, if an agreement can't be reached for Episodes 1 and 2, they should fall under the format of WIN, BTM, SAFE, and ELIM. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 03:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

I agree. For most episodes it's obvious, but in case of doubt, it's safer to place someone as SAFE. Zouki08 (talk) 16:44, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes, Episodes 1 and 2 have had quite a bit of back and forth, so I edited the subjective HIGHs to SAFE. It appears another editor has undone the changes. It would be helpful if editors included reasoning when making changes. Even the typos I fixed returned, so it appears someone is copying and pasting their old content, which is disruptive. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 20:53, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

The overall consensus about HIGH and LOW is not to use them, based on a lengthy discussion we held last year (You can find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_RuPaul's_Drag_Race/Archive_8#Progress_tables_across_all_seasons ) that involved assessing policy, sources and how much that information would be needed in Wikipedia. Now, while I don't think the conclusion of that discussion is written in stone, if we're going to overrule it we would need some pretty solid arguments to do so, at least as solid as the arguments that were used to reach the original decision and probably better. So I think that information should be removed unless we reopen the discussion and reach a different conclusion. About undoing the changes including typos, while I haven't checked the history of the article, that may have been caused by someone reverting the article to the version before you did those edits. Not A Superhero (talk) 02:12, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

I did see that archived discussion. It appears that there are editors who keep adding the HIGH statuses back in. If I had a vote, I agree that some episodes should not include those distinctions since there isn't agreement as to who was HIGH or SAFE, hence the warring with Episode 2 specifically. Whoever keeps changing it is of the opinion that in Episode 2, Jorgeous was HIGH and Jasmine was SAFE. I have the opposite opinion, so I think this disagreement is proof enough for the subjectivity of the episode and should have all HIGHs removed. (This is not important, but I believe this other editor is basing their opinion on the order in which Ru called them SAFE and not the critiques themselves.) Conversely, Episode 3 is clear cut as to who are HIGH and LOW and so I agree with the contributors who think, in these cases, that information should be retained in the table. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 22:06, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

The point is that it is always subjective as to who was high/low. At no point ever in the show does RuPaul (or any other judge, who are collectively with the producers the only people who know the rankings, and therefore the only sources) say "you are ranked high, you are ranked low." The only

verifiable information we have are: Win, safe, lipsync (btm2/btm6 in s11), eliminated. Everything else requires subjective opinion, which is explicitly against Wikipedia policy. There's no way around that. Daundelin❁

22:38, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

This has already been hashed out in excruciating detail in that archived discussion. I agree with Not A Superhero that there would need to be "probably better" arguments of why to include rankings other than the ones currently listed. And Daundelin's comment is exactly how I feel; the other rankings are subjective opinion. If we include those, the tables will never be stable, as everyone has their own opinions of who is high/low, etc. --Kbabej (talk) 16:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I disagree that it is always subjective. It is a very formulaic TV show- with most episodes following the WIN, SAFE, HIGH, LOW, BTM, ELIM formatting. Verifiable does not necessitate an explicit "you are LOW/HIGH" from a judge's mouth. The transcripts of the episodes make it clear who was SAFE, and then who of the remaining are WIN, HIGH, LOW, BTM, ELIM. A good compromise would be to retain the HIGH/LOW values in the episodes with the common format and to leave them out for outlier episodes, such as this season's Episodes 1 and 2. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Actually, yes, it does necessitate an explicit statement from a Judge's mouth. Verifiability means that anyone--including anyone without any knowledge of the subject--can go to the source and verify that the statement on Wikipedia is directly from that source. Low/high are purely subjective. Indeed, they are made up, because we do not know whether someone is low or high. It's a guess. Daundelin❁ 04:54, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Actually, it's not a guess. RuPaul explicitly says in Season 14 Episode 5, "Now all three of you have not been in the top" to Bosco, Lady Camden, and Daya Betty, which is consistent with Episodes 1 and 2 being of the WIN SAFE BTM ELIM format and the other episodes of the typical format. It shouldn't be declared subjective based on some's inability to discern. It has been established many times in the common format- RuPaul says you represent the tops and bottoms after she sends away SAFE. And if it's necessary to say, the ones who aren't the last three are TOP.RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 06:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

"And if it's necessary to say, the ones who aren't the last three are TOP"

Yeah, no. Again: that is you putting your interpretation on things. That's not how

WP:FANCRUFT. You can go to Wikia for that. Wikipedia relies on facts being verifiable, and there is no way around that whatsoever. End of discussion. Daundelin❁

03:51, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

It's telling by your 'end of discussion' statement that you fancy yourself some authority on this matter and that clearly, you aren't open to differing ideas. I am not interested in Fancruft. I think the tables are missing key pieces of information about a competition show that has distinguishable top/bottom rankings. The series itself is the source, not to mention WP states blogs written by professional writers may be used for verifiability, but we don't even need to go there. It is a competition show where the host and creator of the show has said right on the show that there are tops and bottoms. The dialogue verifies unanimously that the contestants who are SAFE are not in the TOP- throughout the series and nearly every episode. No one on the show refutes this. To be amongst that first set of SAFE sent to Untucked is to not be in the TOP- not by my interpretation, but by the dialogue and content of the show that we're discussing. RuPaul and hosts make the BOTTOM abundantly clear. This is and has been the structure of this competition television show for many years. At the very least, the table can have a different key for WIN, SAFE, RECEIVED CRITIQUE, BOTTOM, ELIM. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 05:24, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I have read

WP:V

which apparently does make me more of an expert than you, as it is abundantly clear you have not. What you are refusing to accept is that your assertions require interpretation. Which is not something Wikipedia does. The entire project rests on verifiable fact, and the idea that we can identify who is 'high' and who is 'low' has been more than definitively disproven by the years of edit-warring on the subject. Edit-warring which has only been brought to an end by removing that unverifiable, unencyclopedic nonsense from the progress tables.

Again: if you want that information, go to Wikia. It does not belong here, and you do not know what you are talking about. And before you start: I have watched the show since the very first episode of S1 aired, I have been a fan of RuPaul since I bought Supermodel on cassette since the day it was released, and I have seen every single English-language episode of Drag Race that has ever been filmed. I am an enormous fan of the show, but unlike you it seems, I also actually understand how Wikipedia works. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the rules and policies of this place before you continue banging on about something which doesn't belong here. Daundelin❁ 17:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Adding to what Daundelin said: Do we have sources? You mention that "we don't even need to go there" about blogs written by professionals. However, as part of the past discussion about those table placements, I did a somewhat extensive search for sources and I couldn't find a source that had enough standing to fit the verifiability criteria and covered all the show. Why can't we find sources that help us to not rely on the episodes? Where are they? First that, and second: why do you say HIGH and LOW are a key piece of information? What makes them so fundamental that, in your opinion, the tables can't do without them? Not A Superhero (talk) 05:34, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

It is, and has always been, only two things: 1)

WP:FANCRUFT; 2) rabid fans desperate to 'prove' that their favourite was aCkShUlLy 'high' and therefore was robbed and obviously was the true winner, while simultaneously 'proving' that their least favourite was aCkShUlLy 'low' and therefore shouldn't have won. It's a tiresome argument that's been going on in the fandom for 13 years now, and since the move to VH1 and the drastic lowering in average fan age, it's only gotten worse. Season 9 was the turning point, with Valentina's rabid coterie of completely unhinged fans showing the rest of the fandom that they can basically do whatever they want. It's annoying, it's old, and it's tiring, because at the end of the day it's largely teenagers who are unable to distinguish their opinion (of a highly produced, blatantly manipulated, extremely edited 'reality' 'competition') from verifiable facts about the TV show. Daundelin❁

18:28, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I would actually consider that an argument to remove those sentences from the episode summaries, unless we can find a verifiable source for them. Even for episodes following the formula, at the end there is always room for interpretation, which is the problem here. Also, I don't think using HIGH/LOW for some episodes and not for others would end well, it would be just too difficult to track and would open the same door to subjectivity that the prior discussion closed. I think that thing should be either all in, or all out. Either we find a way to source that stuff for all episodes in all seasons, or we shouldn't be using it. I personally like HIGH/LOW and I feel they enrich the summary of the season and the perspective on how the contestants performed, but I don't think there is (at this moment) a way to add them that is compliant with Wikipedia policy. Not A Superhero (talk) 03:41, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I think you are right that if the argument holds, then those sentences should be removed. Do you think RuPaul outright stating to specific contestants in S14 E5 that they have not been in the top can bring us clarity? Using logic, it is consistent with some of the arguments presented above, i.e., no HIGH in E1&2 and typical rankings as we've known them for the others. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 06:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

The issue with this is that it applies to a very specific group of contestants in a specific group of episodes in this season. How do we extrapolate that to all the other contestants in all the other episodes and seasons? Edit: Just like Roxxxy Andrews, let me get here to make it clear: It's not a matter of convincing people that HIGH and LOW are valid/real. It's a matter of whether the way they're presented in the show is enough to satisfy the verifiability and objectivity requirements to include them in the articles, and for that the consensus is that it's not. Not A Superhero (talk) 18:10, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

It is verifiable that the first batch of SAFE contestants are not in the TOP through the dialogue in just about every week. So even if a blind eye wanted to be turned to the fact that the last three people on the stage all received negative critiques and two are up for elimination, and the remaining received positive critiques, we can at least label them something like RECEIVED CRITIQUE. The tables as they are don't retain much information about the episode or the contestants' progress. RuPaulsDragLeague (talk) 05:24, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Not sure how to fix it since the table is in a template, so I thought I would just pass the word to people who know how to deal with that better than I do.

Editing: I haven't watched the episode, but apparently they all were told they are on the top by Rupaul, is that correct? Not A Superhero (talk) 04:57, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Not exactly. They were told 'there are no bottoms' this week, and then three queens were sent to the back of the stage, while RuPaul said (paraphrase, not pulling up the episode rn) 'now we'll decide who the top 2 are.' None of this really changes the consensus, but boy howdy have the usuals decided it does because they must have their HIGH/LOW nonsense or surely the sky will fall. Daundelin❁ 17:34, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

I just watched the episode. Truth to be said, Rupaul literally tells them "You represent the tops of the week", the kind of unequivocal statement we would need. I agree that it doesn't alter the consensus, though, because it applies strictly to this episode, and I would be very wary to include something like that for a single episode precisely because it would make people push to put it in all the episodes, as we just could see in real time. Not A Superhero (talk) 18:19, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess I misremembered. Agreed with your other point though. Daundelin❁ 19:15, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

To keep consistency with the policy that information shouldn't just be conveyed by color, I think we could add the amount of times a queen has been on the bottom in parenthesis next to their namesso it shows for example "June Jambalaya (2) vs. Maddy Morphosis (1)". I feel it doesn't really alter the table and makes us more compliant with policy.

It would look like this:

  The contestant won the lip sync for the win.

  The contestant was eliminated after their first time in the bottom two.

  The contestant was eliminated after their second time in the bottom two.

The number of times a contestant was in the bottom is also showin in parenthesis next to their names.

I would say for Drag Race related purposes, the name should remain as Olivia Lux.

Not A Superhero (talk) 02:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree it should remain Olive Lux per

WP:COMMONNAME and precedent. I thought of reverting the page move but wanted to get consensus so as to not start an edit war. I raised the issue on the talk page as well. --Kbabej (talk

) 15:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay, maybe the way I wrote was not the best. I think the page move doesn't have a problem (Other drag queens have changed their names and the articles reflect it, most notably Trinity, and currently there's a discussion about Monique Heart), but in the Drag Race related articles where she's mentioned, we should use the name Olivia Lux.

That doesn't make sense to me. You want her referred to as Olivia Lux on RPDR-related articles, but other articles where she’s mentioned as Liv Lux Miyake-Mugler? What about an upcoming All Stars season? Or future analysis surrounding RPDR shows? I think we should use the subject's common name that RS sources use, not immediately change an article a day into a new performance name. No one - including RS - knows who Liv Lux is. --Kbabej (talk) 00:06, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

In some cases, I can identify the subject(s) but categorization is needed; other times, I'm unable to identify the subject(s) with certainty. Please feel free to mark as done once identified and categorized appropriately. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:12, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

@AwkwardChester: I want to thank you for transferring and categorizing so many images. You did a wonderful job! The only mistake I noticed was a few images of Thorgy Thor being categorized as Acid Betty, which I believe I've fixed. Most of the images in the Commons category are now categorized, apart from those in the gallery above. I'm hoping project members can collaborate and identify/categorize the remaining images. Perhaps we can mark as  Done once categorized appropriately? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:26, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@CHR!S: You identified #42 as Kerri Colby but I don't think that's correct. I've removed the category for now. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:51, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@CHR!S: Also, I don't think #66 depicts Tatianna. I've removed 'done' so others can check. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:06, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

The following RPDR Franchises judges do not have pages on en.wiki. These are judges listed on Drag Race (franchise) which generally means they were at least alternating judges for at least one franchise. [xx] means that they *do* have pages on the xx wiki. There may be more, but if so, I've chosen the one in the native language of the franchise. Note, *all* of the judges for the new RPDR France already have them. The judges for RPDR Philippines haven't been announced, I believe.

Hello, may I get an update on this? I've been working at Mattel's article over the past few days, I rewrote a lot of the grammar & flow issues in her lead section and I also merged early life, personal life, and career into a bigger "Life and career" section (as Personal life only consisted of two sentences.

I would like some feedback before I hack at the article further to take it to GA. Thanks!

• Drag Race España season 1. In addition to Carmen Farala and Pupi Poisson , the Spanish wikipedia has es:Killer Queen (drag queen), one of the runners-up. (Apparently the term "Drag Queen" is used directly in Spanish). Article looks OK, (17 references) we've made stub articles out of far less. :)
• Drag Race España season 2. We don't have any of the queens with articles, even the winner Sharonne. the spanish wikipedia has es:Sharonne and the sixth place finisher es:Drag Sethlas. Both of the articles about these two queens have 13 references. And Sharonne has had TV gigs for 25 years!

I've noticed that many RPDR participants are labeled as dead on the WikiProject Biography even though the subjects are alive. These instances should be corrected and for future uses, they should be avoided.

Interesting. I wonder if its editors copying over the WikiProject banner shell and just not noticing it? --Kbabej (talk) 21:48, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Maybe Rater uses living=no by default? I'll try to be better about checking this parameter when using the tool. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:07, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Given that both she and Irma Gerd were both on Canada's a Drag and are now on RPDR Canada season 3, I think that Vivian should have a page just like Irma Gerd.Naraht (talk) 10:29, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Should the total episodes number be filled in before the end of the season? Seems like it gets bumped up when there is a new episode, but it really doesn't mean what is meant there until the end...

Is there any case where a season has gotten a reference for the total number of episodes in the season before the actual announcement of the Finale (or the Reunited followed by Finale)?

BTW # of queens at the end of the airing of episode 12 in each season.

• N/A - Season 1 & 8 (both had finished)
• 1 - Season 2: 1
• 3 - Seasons 4, 5, 6, 7
• 4 - Seasons 3, 9, 10, 11 & 12 (for 12 including Sherry Pie, since hadn't been decided until after the airing)
• 5 - Season 13
• 8 - Season 14. Naraht (talk) 02:16, 29 March 2022 (UTC) (from a while ago, but me. :) )

Should the queens eliminated in a Double Sashay (or in the case of Gottmik & Rosé [3rd]) share the same one place, or have a place where it's like 3rd/4th. I've been editing it like they share the same single place, but I just want to know what the general consensus is so I'm not making that many mistakes. Thanks! TatiVogue (talk) 14:53, 15 April 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TatiVogue (talk • contribs)

I *think* this got thrashed out a few months ago (or at least the people who cared on one side gave up). The consensus has been that they get the higher place only. So in the case of season 6 where it was a split intro, both Kelly Mantle and Magnolia Crawford are ranked 13th only, not 13th/14th. This also occurs to Runners up like Cortney and Adore in the same episode, would simply be runners-up and then Darienne Lake is 4th. I think of this like the Olympics, if two people tie for 1st place, there are two listed as receiving Golds and then the next person gets a Bronze.Naraht (talk) 15:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Should there be a page for Plastique? She placed relatively high on her season, and she is very significant in drag TikTok/TikTok in general. Let me know, because I want to make a draft for it. TatiVogue (talk) 19:41, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

And if Shuga Cain out of all people has their own page, Plastique deserves one. TatiVogue (talk) 19:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Not yet, at least per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Plastique Tiara. Only if you can very clearly demonstrate sustained secondary coverage since this discussion should you consider recreating the entry. I am not saying this is not possible, I'm just warning the page will be redirected again unless you can expand significantly from this version of the article. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:46, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

@TatiVogue: Wikipedia is not about who "deserves" an article. The site has very strict sourcing requirements. Since you're a newer editor (welcome to Wikipedia!), you might start by improving existing articles instead of attempting to create new ones or recreated ones which the community have recently deemed unnecessary at this time. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:48, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Attempting to resurrect the Maddy Morphosis entry. Improvements welcome! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I see "he/him/his" is used throughout the article. Maddy is a drag persona. Most Wikipedia entries about drag queens use "she/her" when covering the drag persona... should this article be any different only because the subject is straight? I think not... Also, I'm struggling to find the subject's birth name, otherwise I'd update the article appropriately (including pronouns). Help!? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:57, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I think it should be she/her, because being straight has nothing to do with it. Maddy is a straight cisgender male, and majority of the contestants are gay cisgender males, so the same pronouns should be used for consistency. TatiVogue (talk) 17:07, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Right, sexual orientation is irrelevant. Like other drag queen bios, we should generally be using he/him/his when referring to male subjects out of drag and she/her when referring to the female drag persona. I think this should become an easier task once we find the subject's legal name... a bit confusing to say "She is the first straight male contestant" ... ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Maddy uses she/her in drag so I think you should use he/him when referring to things that have nothing to do with drag (for example where he was born & where he lives), but she/her when referring to his drag career and drag race. TatiVogue (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Precisely, but this is hard to accomplish when we don't have a boy name to use. Someone holler if you locate, thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

For now, I've replaced some pronouns with "Maddy Morphosis". More work is probably needed here, but I think this is the best we can do until we have more differentiation between the subject in and out of drag. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

OK. TatiVogue (talk) 19:45, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't think Morphosis should ever be used alone here. It isn't a Last Name....Naraht (talk) 19:55, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Right. I tried adding "Maddy" wherever just "Morphosis" was used, for this reason. If I missed any, feel free to update appropriately! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:05, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
