Cancellation

Since the show's being cancelled^[1], I've changed it to 'was' instead of 'is', although i guess it's not officially over until august/september. other editors have included the cancellation but not changed it to was so idk, if someone thinks it's premature to 'was' Neighbours feel free to revert ^^ Hopolapopola (talk) 10:22, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ah nevermind, i should read the style for tv show pages, was mislead by other pages i've seen oop Hopolapopola (talk) 10:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree, saying "was" does seem more natural and it sounds correct, so it's certainly common to see pages say 'was' rather than 'is'. In this instance I changed it back to 'is' more because the series hasn't finished airing yet - although MOS:TVNOW takes a harder line, it's true. But no problem. :) Bonusballs (talk) 10:29, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on how much you like Neighbours, fans would point out it does have a few months left, but it's an inevitable change, regardless. FYI I have never seen an episode, clip or more than a handful of frames from news websites saying it will/has/was axed. — Bacon Noodles (talk • contribs • uploads) 11:49, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes- per the guideline linked above (and here as well now: MOS:TVNOW), it should stay as, "Neighbours is an Australian television soap opera that..." even when the series has concluded airing. Other tense changes in the article (from present to future) would be fine.

Same thing regarding the infobox (that I added a hidden note about), per the template instructions, this should remain as 'present' until the final episode has aired. Once that has aired, it is fine to insert the end date there. Until that time comes, it should remain as 'present'. Magitroopa (talk) 17:21, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gay characters

The text suggests that Lana was the first recurring gay character, but Gino Esposito the hairdresser preceded her, I think? He was around for at least a year or two, recurring rather than full-time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.137.165 (talk) 14:37, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox first_run parameter

This is what the template documentation Template:Infobox television has to say about the first_run parameter:

first_run = The nation in which the series first aired, if different from country parameter

and

The country or region where the show was first broadcast.

The documentation doesn't make any distinction for tranches of episodes, it simply refers to the series/show. In this case, it's indisputable that Neighbours was first broadcast in Australia. The fact that in 2022 the UK overtook Australia is something for the body of the article to tackle - it doesn't change that fact that the show was first broadcast in Australia. H. Carver (talk) 02:32, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I believe that is the case. For example, if it were first broadcast/aired in the UK as some sort of sneak peek/preview in 1984 (prior to the 18 March 1985 AU premiere), then it would be appropriate to use first run. 'First run' doesn't mean the first time at all it is broadcast in another region, it means where it was first aired if it's not the country of origin + prior to the country of origin's premiere.
