May i change the results of the 2017 Aria Awards as the awards have happened & the result hasn't been changed Le Beaglelution ( talk) 09:41, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Dear fellow editors,
I am leaving the present message out of courtesy to other editors interested in this article.
I was wondering why there isn't a Discography section and, after quickly browsing previous sections in this talk page, did not find an earlier discussion on the subject. I'd be interested in the views of other colleagues. Also, if there is consensus in favour of adding a Discography section, then we would probably also need a Filmography, which could be developed in the same effort. Thank you.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ

Speaking of their discography, is there a reason why the group has a habit of rerecording their early or back catalogue from scratch not to mention reshooting early videos, but unnecessarily? To me, it's just insulting and unnecessary and that they should just leave their back catalogue, especially the early albums, and their first four direct-to-video releases the way they are - this is just my opinion and TBH, I never approved of them reshooting their first four videos when there was nothing wrong with their original versions, let alone that of their early albums, nor did I ever approve of them rerecording their first album and underhandedly removing Phillip Wilcher's work without his knowledge, and they should be treated as historical artefacts as you have to start somewhere. I mean, The Beatles never wasted time rerecording their back catalogue (I'm not talking about early unreleased versions made prior to the final masters of certain songs) and you don't see Paul and Ringo rerecording every last Beatles song from scratch, because they obviously know damn well that it would be disrespectful to not just John and George, but their fans as well and the legacy of the band, recorded or otherwise. 61.69.217.3 ( talk) 08:47, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Considering the wikipedia page has "they dated, they got married" it should include the line "they broke up" https://www.facebook.com/thewiggles/posts/10156814263922018 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.174.227.128 ( talk) 15:07, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
There are a few places on the page where ABC is talked about but unlinked. Whilst as far as I know, they never worked with the American ABC, there are a few spots where they talk about American success and then in the next sentence mention working with the Australian ABC. I think this needs clarification because it’s likely that American audiences of this page are unlikely to have heard of the ABC in Aus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.193.147.22 ( talk) 03:51, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
During the bushfire relief concert on Friday, 17 Jan 2020, Greg Page suffered a cardiac arrest and needed to be revived 3 times. Maybe someone should include that in the appropriate section. 2001:8003:4E77:D900:106E:6651:EE0A:E22A ( talk) 02:40, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Hey everyone, with the announcement of the new members joining The Wiggles next month, I was wondering if it would be appropriate to add them to the Band Members section? Thanks in advance. ElijahThomBro ( talk) 14:35, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
The expected order for band members lists and timeline should be order of joining, and when the time of joining is the same for multiple members, alphabetical order by surname:

The filming shots that have been released (for example on Anthony Field's instagram page) show that Caterina Mete, the Wiggles' long-time choreographer and wiggly dancer, is now the second Red Wiggle. She should be added as a Red Wiggle for the "expanded cast." After the portion/footnotes showing that Tsehay initially was the Fruit Salad TV red wiggle before becoming the main cast yellow wiggle, the article should then describe that Tsehay's promotion following Emma's departure meant that there was not a second Red Wiggle, which led to Caterina's promotion. Also the chart showing the cast should potentially be updated. Zjstackhouse ( talk) 19:33, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
As it stands, I believe the current Members section to be too convoluted – especially with the "Additional Members" placed beneath the timeline. As with my edit here, I think it should be reduced to four sections, in order: Current members, Current additional members, Former members and Former additional members. This is generally how most bands' members sections are kept on other Wikipedia pages, although these are "touring musicians" rather than "additional members" – essentially the same thing. I think it makes the most sense to include all former Wiggles in the "Former members" section. SatDis requested I post about it in the Talk section, which is why I'm here now. Thanks!

Anthony has Seid there are now 8 Wiggles 4 boys, 4 girls, and he has never seid anything about "supporting members" so I think the the Wiggles Articles should be about the 8 Wiggles! Jena ( talk) 23:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
