Including British Channels on Neighbours

I am trying to improve the Neighbours page by adding the British channels that aired the Australian soap opera because Neighbours didn't just air in Australia, it also aired in the United Kingdom as well, and even throughout the entire run and towards the end it was made for just UK audiences, that's why I included the correct date on when the soap finished which was 29 July 2022. I understand that it ended on 28 July in Australia but I kindly ask if my edit on list of British channels that aired Neighbours can be approved because like I said, it didn't just air in Australia, it aired in the UK as well and Grundy funded the show for the BBC and Channel 5 funded it as well, thank you. 82.19.124.151 (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2022 (UTC) 82.19.124.151 (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you are coming from, but the infobox airdates are meant for the original airdates only (18 March 1985 – 28 July 2022). I understand that Neighbours was a huge show in the United Kingdom, however making the accusation that the finale was made primarily for British audiences in WP:OR. If we were to add the British airdates in the infobox, then all the other airdates in different countries should be added as well. That's Ireland, New Zealand, Belgium and even the United States for a while, but this would clutter the already long infobox. I hope you understand. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 23:37, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Infobox Television template is very clearly documented. For the 'network' parameter, it says "The original network(s) on which the show has appeared. Do not add foreign broadcasters here. Use links if articles are available." (Emphasis mine.)
Similarly, the 'last_aired' parameter, it says "The first air date of the show's last episode on its original network." (Again, emphasis mine.)
This is why your edits to the infobox are being reverted; there's nothing you can say that will change the fact that the edits you want to make are not supported by the template guidelines.
I don't think anyone is disputing that the UK is an important market for the show. But that's covered elsewhere in the article. The last paragraph of the lead mentions the popularity of the show in the UK, and in the Broadcast section, the UK is the only international market to have a subsection of its own.
In summary, the infobox is a summary of information filled out per the template guidelines, and the rest of the article has the detail and nuance. I don't think there's any mistaking that the UK was an important market for the show. H. Carver (talk) 01:46, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well actually Grundy and Fremantle, the two production companies who made Neighbours have always said that the UK, has always been it's main broadcast partner, so it makes sense that the UK networks BBC One and Channel 5 should be on the list of networks which broadcast, so can you please think about it and let me revert your edit, thanks. 82.19.124.151 (talk) 00:32, 13 November 2022 (UTC) 82.19.124.151 (talk) 00:32, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Back on Network 10?

AUS viewers may be able to help with this. We know that the show is returning for first broadcast on "Network 10" in Australia, per the announcement video. Is this confirmation that it has been promoted back to the main channel? Or can "Network 10" refer to the network as a whole, meaning it might well still be on 10 Peach?

It means that from now on, Neighbours will be shown on the main channel instead of 10 Peach 82.19.124.151 (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC) 82.19.124.151 (talk) 19:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@U-Mos: I assumed that it meant Network 10 as a whole. 10 Peach is owned by them and has been the channel episodes have been broadcast on for the past 11 or so years, so I am assuming that it still means 10 Peach, but with limited information at the moment, I could be wrong. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:05, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
