Drag Race Deutschland has been registered with the German Trademark Office by World of Wonder [1] is this a good reference for the series name over on the Franchise page?Naraht (talk) 04:58, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
For Mexico, the patent is for it as Drag Race Mexico (no accented E) [2] but the translation into Spanish does have it. DRAG RACE MEXICO vs. CARRERA DRAG MÉXICO . The fandom site also has a link from Brasil, but I can't bring up the website.Naraht (talk) 05:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Well for Germany, someone did add it on franchise page but then removed. If Mexico's reference is in the page, then it's no problem to add Germany's reference. — JuanGLP (talk) 11:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm extremely late to the party, but I've been keeping an eye out on German sources and still not any info about a name. In case I drop off editing again for a few more months, here are a few reliable German/Austrian sites that might yield some info if/when it starts trickling out: Queer.deMannschaft.com (these two are queer-oriented sites kinda like Out.com) derStandard.deBerliner Zeitung (these are more formal news publications) Tajaditas(talk)06:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
@Tajaditas, thank you for being on the look out for the name of the German adaptation! I will also be on the lookout for the Mexican adaptation. — JuanGLP (talk) 02:49, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Vivacious
Back in 2019, the article about Vivacious was deleted. I've recently asked for restoration so the entry can be expanded and possibly taken live again at some point in the future. You can view the draft at Draft:Vivacious (drag queen).
I requested protection for RPDR:S15 based on the number of vandals this morning and got a 2 day semi-protection. Not sure this needs to be announced here, but be ready Friday morning when it expires.Naraht (talk) 14:11, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Winners.
I believe, that with the new creation of Drag Couenne, that all queens who have won a season of a Drag Race Franchise show have pages. I'm simply going to assume that the project will always do so. :) Naraht (talk) 14:18, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Xilhouete has been cast in a Filipino movie "Here Comes the Groom" (a *massive* body switch movie, think Freaky Friday on Steroids) as such, I checked to see where she was otherwise mentioned. I noted that as a RPDR Philippines queen, her redirect is to Drag Race Philippines *not* to Drag Race Philippines (season 1). My proposal is that when a Season 1 is forked from the National Drag Race article (presumably due to the announcement of Season 2) that all queens that are redirects from the National Drag article be moved to Season 1.Naraht (talk) 15:44, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
I believed whenever a DR series is renewed or casting call is announced (for a season 2), we always forked season 1 to its own page and re-redirect the S1 contestants to the S1 article. Though I believe this time that one of the editors forgot to re-redirect the S1 contestants to the S1 articles (for the Philippines). If you would like to move them, then go ahead. 😊 — JuanGLP (talk + contribs) 16:26, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Moved them. Also created a few more redirects. The season had 3 queens where there drag name was XYZ ABC, but they went by XYZ on the show. Both XYZ and XYZ ABC should be made into redirects.13:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
The text for DRES3 includes the following. "Contestants in the season included The Switch Drag Race alumni Pakita and Clover Bish, ". While I can find Pakita on The Switch season 2 (she was the Porkchop of the season), I can't find Clover Bish on either season 1 or season 2. Was there a season 3, did she participate under another name or something else?Naraht (talk) 13:17, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
I think it was a typo, who ever wrote that. And I know that there wasn't a season three of The Switch, since they were cancelled after S2. And if she did participated, check her social media, contestants always put that they participated in a contest on their bio. — JuanGLP (talk + contribs) 14:09, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
(FranchE.C.C) Unfortunately, this boils down to "Only claim to notability is finishing 7th on a season of RPDR", which as far as I can tell equals immediate return to redirect.Naraht (talk) 14:17, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
FranchE.C.C} (Hug) I know you did a lot of work, and I don't want to lose it. I'm curious as to the opinion of the other regulars here and am looking for consensus even if a consensus develops to keep. And with the abilities you showed in making that, I'm sure you'll find other articles to create and improve.Naraht (talk) 01:23, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Does anyone know if the memorial concert took place in November? I found some sources announcing the concert, but I don't see any reporting on the event itself. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:59, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

"If I were to create WikiProject Drag, would you join? I should note, Wikipedia has WikiProject Drag Race, but this project seeks to improve coverage of one specific drag franchise. WikiProject Drag would apply to a much larger collection of entries."
Sorry but your reasoning does not make sense to me. You keep gutting content because you think people are "already celebrities" when in some cases their appearances on the shows are what make them notable. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:21, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
Appearing in the first instance of a show can be what makes them notable. However, that cannot be claimed for their appearances on subsequent related shows. And we're making an exception to WP:PERFNAV for that first appearance anyway. --woodensuperman14:26, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
I found the templates helpful because of the crossover amongst franchises by some contestants. In my opinion, you're being too aggressive and not listening to the editors who create and use these templates, but I'll move on to other things if no one else is bothered by your changes. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:31, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
I'm fine with everything other than possibly the "background=solo singer", I'm not sure why that was chosen, she appears to be more notable in at least two other areas more significantly than singing. It also would be a very asymmetric Template, in that most of the pages in the template would not be appropriate to have the template including in that page (I don't think for example, that this template belongs on the RPDR:AS3 page)Naraht (talk) 14:20, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
World of Wonder partnered with Blue Ant Media, to create a channel dedicated to the Drag Race franchise. It is available to Vizio, and Variety covered the story.
Having a quick read, its not the exclusive home of drag race in the US and is a carrier for previously aired content. All of its programming has previously aired on other channels or WOWPlus. At this moment in time, I'm not overly keen on more than a passing mention. Its akin to a TV channel airing repeats of a programme previously aired on another channel >>Lil-unique1(talk) — 17:02, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Yes! Since they are broadcasting the international adaptations in the US. Currently redirecting the DRU article to the franchise. — JuanGLP (talk + contribs) 17:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
"High" and "Low" placement in progress table in season 15.
Hi all. I just saw that the progress table for Season 15 is including HIGH and LOW placements, which according to past discussions, we're not using. I removed them, but I guess we're gonna have to keep watch on the templates for progress tables, and perhaps restrict them during the season. Not A Superhero (talk) 07:04, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
BAHAHA! This literally made my day! LMAOOO, I know this isn't professional but HAHAAHA. The reason why we (not me) removed the HIGH and LOW placements is for people who have a disability, such as blindness or color-blindness. And I know that I don't like this method but it is simple, and I leave it be. If you don't like this way, discuss it on Wikipedia, make a statement on why you don't like it. If you can't do it, then there's always another plan: WikiFandom.. :)
Respectfully, if "we" want to accommodate those with vision disabilities then why can't we just use other web colors or at the very least use the HIGH and LOW tiles without colors? Accommodation should not mean erasure of data LOL. Also, your logic doesn't really make sense considering The Switch Drag Race and Drag Race Thailand use other colored tiles on their scoreboards. If y'all like it the way you like it then just say that, instead of hiding behind this random excuse. cmilette (talk) 17:13, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Whenever we create a new article for a constestant, we should add this: {{efn|McGoldrick uses [[she (pronoun)|she/her]] and [[singular they|they/them]] pronouns in drag. This article uses she/her pronouns for consistency.}}
@Another Believer, I have just seen it and it is perfect. 😊 Also, I have a suggestion! We should add this to any drag queen who uses the she/her pronouns while in drag. It may be helpful for the readers. — JuanGLP (talk + contribs) 02:21, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
The vast majority of drag queens use she/her pronouns while in drag, but sometimes notes are helpful for flagging to readers why the entry sometimes switches between "he", "she", or "they". To me, what's most important is noting preferred pronouns while out of drag. ---Another Believer(Talk)14:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
Have we had any queens to use they/them (or he/him?) *in* drag? (And we've had a *wide* variety of out of drag, from those that would be surprised if anyone used she/her when out of drag to those who transitioned not long after the show)Naraht (talk) 18:45, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Conflict in name of the Drag Queen. It appears that most of the usages are Elecktra (with a c &k), but the redirect is Elektra (drag queen) Is the DR:S page correct or the redirect?Naraht (talk) 19:08, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
Added Elecktra Bionic the winner of DR:Italian Season 1 to the disambig page. And this was so that I could interlanguage link to the page on sv.wiki and wanted to get everything straight. :)Naraht (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, I've added Elecktra Bionic to the disambiguation page per your suggestion. Can I go ahead and archive this discussion as resolved? ---Another Believer(Talk)19:47, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
I have recently created the Clover Bish article on the Spanish Wikipedia (es), in case anyone here is interested in translating it. Peridotito (talk) 08:31, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll add the page to my watchlist. Do you think you'll have time to work on Gala Varo, Margaret Y Ya, or Regina Voce this month? ---Another Believer(Talk)19:52, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
I know that I promised another Wikipedia editor that as soon as there was (X) information on DR:M that I'd move it to mainspace (may have been JuanGLP), I see that it has been moved and given the additional information in the last few days, I don't think I'll have to do that myself :). My honest guess is that we'll be seeing the list of queens out within the month.Naraht (talk) 17:45, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
No, this would still be a WP:PERFCAT. To quote the guideline: Avoid categorizing performers by [...] performance—even for permanent or recurring roles—in any specific radio, television, film, or theatrical production--woodensuperman15:32, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
Not us celebrating the Hispanic/Latin Heritage Month that early! (Also, just in time for Pride Month!) Yes, this does interest me. We can include the Spanish queens (if @MiguelAlanCS is interested). I will start with Regina Voce. — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 15:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Perhaps "Las reinas de Drag Race España" could be the Collaboration of the Month for July? Would be a nice follow-up to this month's collaboration for DR México. ---Another Believer(Talk)15:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
The redirects for the dr fr s1 queens need to be changed from going from dr fr to dr fr s1. (Doing this from phone) Naraht (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
If PN and People magazine are covering it, then I'm fine with adding it. Probably a separate section of the article though.Naraht (talk) 17:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Renovated
Hi!
I decided to bold and updated the page, for easy accessible to users who are in or planning to join the WikiProject. I added a WP:Invitation template, if you decided to invite someone to the WikiProject. (Also I have updated the userbox.) Under WP:RPDR/Editing, I added potential topics from the franchise, so they can be reassessed from a "stub" to a "C" or "B". WP:RPDR/Showcase will included recognized content, thanks to @Another Believer, we have another featured article! Dedicated to Cherry Valentine. I also want to add the DYKs recoginiton to the page, but I do not know how to. Thanks!
For Drag Race Sverige, the Mini-challenge prize was immunity in the main challenge. I remember that occuring in RPDR, but I think it has been a few seasons. Should that be marked differently in the progress table?Naraht (talk) 14:01, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
I feel it should be marked on the contestant progress, since the shows do state the contestants having immunity. Though if we add it, how would it look like? — JuanGLP (talk + contribs) 15:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Green(allowed by the color blindness rules?) with IMMU? The only two seasons that I can find with normal mentions of Immunity are Seasons 2 & 5. Season 14 would also probably be part of it as DelaSkye for being the least bad in Snatch Game was immune from LaLaPaRUza. (Yes, she won with Lil Jon, but it still won't make anyone's list of best 20 lipsyncs)Naraht (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Novem Linguae, Thijslandsmeer, RandomCanadian, Armadillopteryx, Isaidnoway (Adding those who I think were in the accessibility discussion). For adding that a queen due to a prior (either mini- or maxi- challenge) win is immune from Lipsyncing, is the addition of a Green IMMU allowed? It appears that none of the current blocks are in green, but I don't know if that is due to color blindness concerns. From the standpoint of provability, I believe this can be shown rather than guessed. Suggestions welcome.Naraht (talk) 14:44, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Does it make sense to have *anything* (Not even sure what page, I guess Franchise) to keep track of the order of the Seasons among all of the Franchises? For example, right now, the only way to tell that during 2022 DR:FR S1 occured before DR:IT S2 is to look at the individual pages.Naraht (talk) 13:17, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
I don't know if the page would be kept longterm (the list of lip-syncs was just deleted), but you could always try creating something like Drag Race timeline with bulleted list or table which puts a sequence together. I think you'd need to demonstrate how a timeline is helpful from a Wikipedia perspective. Just my initial thought! ---Another Believer(Talk)23:37, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
The collaboration of the month for July is Las reinas de Drag Race España. Taking from a discussion above, here's a list of contestants with entries at Spanish Wikipedia but not ENWP:
Drag-a-thon is tangentially related to this project, but figured I'd share and invite others to collaborate, if interested. The drag show, which seeks to set a Guinness World Record, features Eureka, LaLa Ri, and Peppermint. Happy editing! ---Another Believer(Talk)13:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Looks like we have the list of Queens for Philippines Season 2. Redirects should be created. And we have probably the *most* bizarre name for a Queen (and possibly most problematic for Redirects): ØV CÜNT , who (according to the ew article with the information is participating as <nobreak>ØV C--T</nobreak>. So I guess we make a redirect under that (anyone what the rules are for hyphens vs. dashes in article names?) And I'm presuming the initial character is the letter that exists in Norwegian, etc. But I have no idea if we would sort that with O or after Z.Naraht (talk) 17:10, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
Welcome! I hope you find this a helpful space for asking questions, sharing updates, collaborating with other editors, etc. I think you'll find this project is more active than most WikiProjects on Wikipedia. ---Another Believer(Talk)02:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
That’s good! I’m currently working a lot of things for the Drag Race girls, including translating articles (currently working on Inti (drag queen)), updating queens’ discographies, and scourging webseries such as Maddy Morphosis’ "Give It To Me Straight" and Joseph Shephard’s "EXPOSED" for more info to share. Cornmazes (talk) 02:35, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
That's impressive! Congratulations on this—I know you put a ton of work into the article, and it shows! Glad it's getting recognition :-) Armadillopteryx00:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
