- Not done this has nothing to do with The Wiggles. It is unsourced and involves a bunch of random singers copied from other places. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:06, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

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)

Discography?
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 Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 14:14, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
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)
- Speaking as this article's main editor throughout the years, including a discography has been discussed; for example, during its second PR back in 2008. I said at the time that there was no list of The Wiggles recordings out there, perhaps because of their tendency to re-record past albums. (I suspect the re-recordings are about preserving their recordings, done when they went digital in 2011, although that's just my conjecture, since there's nothing out there to support it.) Despite not having a discography like most articles about significant bands, it was never an issue for its final FAC or its FAR in 2015. I said at the time of the before-mentioned PR that the article was linked to a discography list, and that it was enough, and I continue to feel the same way. Multiple reviewers over the years seem to agree. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:06, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

any "in the order of" should be "of the order of" 2605:E000:9149:A600:AD5C:6551:85D8:948D (talk) 21:13, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Done (Specifically "Members of the Order of Australia". Please be more specific in your requests so editors don't need to hunt for the content.) General Ization Talk 21:19, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
Emma/Lachy announced they broke up
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
Clarification for ABC
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)
Heart Attack during reunion performance
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)
- Done. WWGB (talk) 05:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
New Members
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)
- Good question. I was thinking perhaps a subsection in the members section, like "Auxiliary Members" and include a note specifying the projects they feature in (i.e. "Fruit Salad TV" YouTube series)? SatDis (talk) 14:39, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- @ElijahThomBro: I've updated the page with how I envision the members being included. What do you think? SatDis (talk) 08:05, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- @SatDis: Looks good to me, thanks :) ElijahThomBro (talk) 12:04, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

For the Membership section on the bar graph, can you please put Tsehay between Emma and Simon instead of between Lachy and Philip? Please. 162.82.155.169 (talk) 14:19, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the
{{edit semi-protected}}
template. Why? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:23, 22 October 2021 (UTC)- The reason why is that Greg, Sam, and Emma in the bar graph are all next to each other. So, can you put Tsehay between Emma and Simon on the bar graph? Please.162.82.155.169 (talk) 16:04, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
