While I appreciate the diligence of maintaining the wins table, it doesn't seem that encyclopedic to me. The show is presented as a game show in order to discuss pop culture and internet trends, but is not a true contest that warrants competitive statistics (the article itself could do a better job of conveying this). It is much closer to Chelsea Lately than it is Jeopardy!. I think the "Most wins" table could be removed and the "Most appearances" table could be demoted to a bulletted list of people who have regularly appeared on the show (without maintaining a specific number of appearances).

This television show just requested users edit humorous information into the article, temporary protection may be necessary if any influx arises. 98.195.227.92 ( talk) 04:26, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

It's @midnight it's the common name. It's a natural common name even if the longer name were used. Like "Sunny" for Always Sunny in Philadelphia, nobody would call it official, but it's a natural shortening. Even more so, many official or unofficial, yet inarguably prominent sources use only the @midnight, name -- in both text and in graphics/banners -- to wit: http://www.cc.com/shows/-midnight, https://www.facebook.com/atmidnight, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD7nPL1U-R5rDpeH95XsK0qwJHLTS3tNT, https://twitter.com/midnight, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3279494/. Kinda case closed, no? JesseRafe ( talk) 04:24, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
The long form is used on the show's title card, official TV listings, promotional material, Hulu, Google play, Newer videos on the fore-mentioned You Tube page, Google, the Comedy Central shop, Comedy Central press.
Even if its pretty well known as @midnight as the show continues association with the long form will break. Grapesoda22 ( talk) 05:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
It was originally known as just @midnight. The subtitle was added recently. Subtitles are generally only used for disambiguation purposes. There is currently no reason to change it. And everyone needs to calm down and be civil. JDDJS ( talk) 19:21, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: NOT MOVED. Well-reasoned consensus to retain concise title. Hadal ( talk) 17:08, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

I was thinking that the special episodes and tournaments should be mentioned. Such as the one week tournament format where three first shows winners end up in the final show of the week. Or the special duel-off episodes, like 29 July 2016's "Once and Future President" or the Bernie V Trump episode with Bernie Sanders impersonator versus the Donald Trump impersonator. There's also the week-long special appearances like "Benson Bowl" and "Bunches O' Funches"; and the Comedy Central week. -- 65.94.171.217 ( talk) 05:31, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
I don't see it at the @midnight website anymore. This should be taken down as maintaining such a table will now be considered original research. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 20:16, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
