This article is WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race's Collaboration of the Month for February 2022.

Seasons?

Currently the article suggests there will be multiple seasons. Do we know this to be true? Couldn't this be a one-off? ---Another Believer _(Talk) --Another Believer _(Talk) 21:41, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The announcement post from World of Wonder on Instagram said that the UK would be the first hosts, implying that there would be subsequent Versus the World seasons in different countries.64.43.50.217 (talk) 23:08, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right, so if there's no confirmation of multiple seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK Versus the World specifically, shouldn't we remove? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:10, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems fair to do so. —- Thijslandsmeer (talk) 09:00, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this update. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:16, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

BBC uses RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World
WOW also uses RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs The World

Worth moving the page? A bit hard to determine most appropriate because sources are inconsistent and the title must comply with WP's manual of style. Thoughts? --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:23, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Name needs changing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.98.183.174 (talk) 18:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request for Progress Chart Key

For this season, "BTM (Bottom)" does not indicate that the contestant had to lip sync in that episode as is currently stated in the key. It indicates that the contestant was up for elimination in that episode. Deepend1 (talk) 14:44, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 18 February 2022

It has been proposed in this section that RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World be renamed and moved to RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs The World.

RuPaul's Drag Race: UK Versus the World → RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs The World – The BBC, WOW, the title sequence, and all promotional materials for the show say RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs The World, not UK Versus the World. Modern184 (talk) 13:57, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But should "the" be capitalized per Wikipedia's manual of style? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:47, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’m fine with "the" not being capitalised as long as it’s "vs" not "Versus". Modern184 (talk) 23:27, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Move to RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs the World. Showiecz (talk) 10:40, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Wikipedia style guide XxLuckyCxX (talk) 21:08, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support moving to RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World which is what the BBC titles the show.^[1] However I'm not sure if other editors agree with the colon removed as what the BBC did there. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:04, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
