Can we also have this for next week (after the time of this post)? Mr. Guye ( talk) 01:42, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
This is more-so a discussion about all of the seasons' articles.
Currently in the scoring chart, when a score is the highest of the week, it's colored green. When a score is the lowest, it's colored red.. but we also italicize it. The good thing about the italics is that for color-blind readers, they can still see that the couple with the lowest score is the italicized number... but there is nothing that stands out for the highest score besides the color. So would anyone object to the highest score also being bolded? Gloss • talk 13:20, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Well, it did make sense for the past 17 seasons and people seem to want it to stay that way. Is there a rule on WP that says that those kind of charts can't be added sooner since the show started? If there is please provide it here because I tried to find information about the subject and I couldn't find anything. If yes, then ok. A full chart gives automatically the information of how many more weeks are left for the show which is really helpful imo and as far as I saw to similar cases, the chart is always there in full form.

Next week, the pairings will be different, which will affect most of the tables. Any suggestions on how to handle this before edit wars break out next week? Gloss • talk 04:11, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
The "average score" table is currently inaccurate because it includes the week 4 score in the averages. Perhaps we should change "Couple" to "Celebrity" and adjust the list accordingly, only listing the celebrity's name, and not their partner(s)? Gloss • talk 02:11, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

In the weekly scores can you put Total Score at the top and the judges individual scores at the underneath in a single line not split over the two. Thengp12 ( talk) 16:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Look at the Strictly come Dancing weekly scores Here is an example
40
(10,10,10,10)
36
(9,8,10,9)

Can someone help me out with the table sorting template.
9 (click the edit to see it.)
Like that, but I need the original template for it. If anyone could help that would be great.
The total points and averages for Danica and James are both incorrect, both of them have accumulated a total of 155 points as of week 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.178.112 ( talk) 22:32, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
The values for week 7 sort based on the first score received, not the total of the two scores. Can someone fix this? I do not know how to do it. Rotbandito ( talk) 23:51, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
I think the page needs to semi-protected again at least till the season is over. Since the first day the protection is gone, many IP addresses made unnecessary edits that other users had to revert. I don't know how to ask for protection or do it my own but even if I did I wouldn't want to go alone for it before I ask. If others agree can someone does it? Thanks TeamGale 03:22, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
A third paragraph keeps appearing and disappearing from the intro of the article, claiming that it's notable that certain dances weren't danced by some finalists, and also that the paso doble was only done once. I don't see why this information belongs in the article intro, when it's effectively trivia. In a season where there are nine weeks of new dances, and only the ninth one actually had two different new dances, it's inevitable that several of the available dances won't be done by each couple: it's simple mathematics, and part of the show's design. Therefore, neither special nor notable. I'm definitely in favor of eliminating it, or (if it must be retained in some manner) moved to a paragraph in the body of the article. Perhaps it belongs at the end of the Dance chart section, after the dances in question are listed, as a gloss on what was and wasn't done? BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:59, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
The following sections contain no references:
In addition, the Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 18)#Weekly scores section contains no references for scores or dances. The only reference within the section relates to Billy Dee Williams withdrawing from competition due to an injury.
Do other editors have sources for this unreferenced information? AldezD ( talk) 11:17, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
