Articles now use {{Data Australia}} to display the estimated population based on the official population clock. As a result, it is not necessary to update every article manually. Articles that need to be edited are:
Please do not remove data templates from [[List of countries and dependencies by population]], as you did in [<insert diff here> this edit], despite the obvious warning message in Canada's entry (as well as in the entries for the 19 other countries in that article using data templates), and the [[Template:Editnotices/Page/List of countries and dependencies by population|edit notice]] that is shown while you are editing the page. --~~~~
I was reading comments in this archived discussion and noticed your comment "What we don't allow is the recreation as a vector of a non-free logo (in other words, no user-created non-free SVGs are allowed)". Could you please point me to where this is actually documented so that I can direct editors to it in future? I've been unable to find it. --User:AussieLegend 07:15, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
It extends from here [3] and [4], in that user-generated SVGs of non-frees is potentially violating commercial opportunity, the example being that a user-recreated SVG of an album cover could be used as a replacement for the actual cover art in high-quality printing. You can also see more here [5]. --MASEM (t) 23:03, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

SVG files
c:Transition to SVG says PNGs should not just be replaced en masse the instant an SVG replacement becomes available. It is often sufficient to label the image description page with a {{vector version available}} tag, and it will be migrated over to the SVG version by editors where appropriate. Note especially use of "where appropriate".

Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Style guidelines#Cast information states, "When organizing the cast section, please keep in mind that "main" cast status is determined by the series producers, not by popularity or screen time. Furthermore, articles should reflect the entire history of a series, and as such actors remain on the list even after their departure from the series." Some of the more important points to note from this are:
Main cast status is not determined by screen time
Articles should reflect the entire history of a series
Actors remain on the list even after departure.
Since <insert name here> was a main cast member at one time he/she remains listed as a main cast member even though he/she is not in that role any more. This is necessary to ensure that the article reflects the entire history of the series.
The "20xx television seasons" categories are problematic every year as the criteria for inclusion is that they are "for television seasons that have aired at least one episode in 20xx". Since it is now still xx months before 20xx, no episodes "have aired" in 20xx and will not for the next xxxx months. The category therefore cannot be populated until at least 1 January 20xx. The existence of the category results in articles being added to it contrary to the inclusion criteria. In 2017 Category:2017 television seasons was create protected until 1 January 2017 so that people would not add articles until 2017 arrived. The red category was a signal that it was invalid. By "invalid" I mean that it was not a valid category because it didn't exist. When editors tried to create it, because it was create protected they would find that they couldn't and so would take it as being an invalid category. Those editors in the TV project who saw it would not even try to create it, they would just remove the category. I did manage to find the discussion regarding this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Archive 19#Category:2015 television seasons. Not an extremely strong consensus, but consensus nonetheless. As can be seen, exclusion of such categories is consistent with MOS:TV.
User talk page warning
== 2020 television categories ==
As should be obvious from the text in {{tl|Year nationality television seasons category}}, the 2020 television season categories are for "television seasons that have aired at least one episode in the year 2020" (note the use of past tense!). Until such time as episodes have aired in 2020, articles should not be added to 2020 categories. Articles should not be added just because it is now 2020 as the articles do not fit the inclusion criteria. --~~~~
Episode table column widths
After a bit of testing I've discovered that the practical lower limits of certain columns are as follows:
<!-- BE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING: Future episode content requires a citation unless the episode summary is directly supported by the citation in the "RTitle" field. Uncited content will be reverted. Do not add episode summaries that you have copied from other websites or documents unless there is a clear statement on the website, or in the document that it is permissible to do so. Without such a statement, copying content is a breach of copyright and will be reverted. To avoid breaching copyright, content must be substantially different to content that you have obtained elsewhere; changing a few words is rarely "sufficiently" different. -->

WP:SIZERULE recommends that consideration be given to splitting articles once an article reaches 50kB of readable prose. Even using a very loose interpretation of the definition of readable prose, the amount of readable prose in this version of the article is a less than 6.6kB, which is a long, long way below WP:SIZERULE's upper limit of the "Length alone does not justify division" category. Splitting is typically reserved for shows with several seasons, making the "List of" article overly long, and that just isn't the case here. Based on article growth to date and current size I don't see a need for several years, unless substantial season specific content can be added to the season articles. Without that extra content, splitting forces the reader to look in multiple articles for the most basic episode content that is currently all available in a single article. It makes far more sense to include everything on one page if the only substantial content is the episode tables. Splitting the article results in two, and soon three, articles covering what one currently does and they all need to watched. Managing multiple articles is almost always more unwieldy than managing one. The other issue is the splitting process itself. It's not enough to simply create another article. Both this and the season articles require proper attribution as per Wikipedia:Splitting#Procedure, and this has not been carried out. There simply isn't justification enough for splitting the article at this time.
