Monday Night

Changed the name, the show is bring referred to as "Monday Night iMPACT!" now. User:99.226.59.182 05:29, 26 April 2010

Various moves

As we can see from the history of this page and talk page alike, as well as the moves made to the company's page, there has been a flurry of activity in response to Mick Foley's announcement. It looks like User:ArcAngel made a correct-looking move when he updated TNA Impact! to Impact! Wrestling. After this, User:LTC. K-O Capt made 3 changes in sequence, to Impact! TV, Impact (TV Show), and finally Impact! (TV Show). I find this a bit disruptive to be honest. I'd like to apologize for a misunderstanding, I posted to AA's talk thinking he had done the "TV Show" since he mentioned updating this on the company talk page, not knowing there had been other changes made.

I propose, for now, we either revert to Impact! Wrestling, or to be even more concise, simply Impact! redirects here already and covers the past and present very well. The only thing is, I can't use the move function to move to a page we've already used, so we will need to do a vote for a moveTo and get the help of a moderator of Wikipedia to make this transition while making the history. Much like the company, this will be troublesome and hopefully someone can assist us.

If we must have a 'show' in parentheses it should certainly be lowercase. See Justice League (TV series) for an example of long-standing format for stuff like this. DB (talk) 03:47, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was {{Requested move/dated|Impact!}} Impact! (TV Show) → Impact! – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC) I think this is simplest to avoid all this hassle, Impact! is the core name of the show which has not changed, and it covers the past and present incarnations quite well. Whether we call it "TNA Wrestling Impact" or "TNA's Impact Wrestling" doesn't make a huge difference, "Impact" is the clear identifiable name, and it the only notable promotion that uses an exclamation mark. DB (talk) 03:58, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On May 13 a couple hours after I posted the previous, Anthony Apple resolved this with this move, based on watching another episode it seems clear that "Impact Wrestling" is the proper title rather than "Impact!" which is a better reference to its old title. Wrestling is stylized in a way that might be viewed as a subtitle I guess.

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

List of Ratings

I noticed the list of ratings on the right side of the article has duplicate entries. Is it necessary? I find it to be redundant. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 20:31, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Impact Wrestling (TV Program) → Impact Wrestling – No consensus to move. For some reason can't move over redirect. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 23:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support reverting to longstanding name. No reason for disambiguatior. Rumor is that they're officially finally dropping the TNA name, but there has been no official announcement, and rumors, especially the notoriously unreliable pro wrestling "dirtsheets", are insufficient reason to enact any premature move. oknazevad (talk) 04:06, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support & Comment- 1) There was NEVER a discussion done as to whether the article for the show should be renamed; therefore, the article for show should be IMMEDIATELY reverted back to its prior name & 2) as it was pointed out in the edit summary for a recent edit of the TNA article, even though multiple wrestling news sites have reported on Anthem re-branding TNA as "Impact Wrestling" (as well as even Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter reporting on it), Anthem itself has yet to *OFFICIALLY* announce the re-branding. Once Anthem makes the announcement, THEN the article for TNA can be renamed to Impact Wrestling, but NOT BEFORE that happens. 76.235.248.101 (talk) 23:01, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: page moved.(non-admin closure) Kostas20142 (talk) 11:59, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Impact Wrestling → Impact Wrestling (TV series) – As the promotion behind this TV series has changed its name to Impact Wrestling, the same name as the series, there is sentiment that the promotion, and not the series, should be the primary topic for "Impact Wrestling". Thus, this article on the TV series needs to be moved to a parenthetically disambiguated title to begin clearing the way for the promotion. Links to [[Impact Wrestling]] may need to be bypassed to ensure that they continue pointing to the correct target.

Name Change

Given the company is dropping all GFW branding, should this page be changed to Impact! (TV series)? 174.104.161.79 (talk) 00:08, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Impact! (TV series) → Impact! – Unnecessary disambiguilation, Impact! redirect there. LM2000 (talk) 13:40, 30 September 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 ^{(talk, contribs)} 01:54, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:17, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to have just been moved by JMichael22 from GFW Impact! to current title. GFW is still part of logo and there is another TV series. The ! isn't enough to identify. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:46, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No need for this to dwell on this page, WP:RM might be the better arena once everything has settled down. LM2000 (talk) 05:14, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@LM2000 and In ictu oculi: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:17, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Move to Impact (TV series) or Impact Wrestling (TV series) per MOS:TM. Sawol (talk) 05:32, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I intended to propose this later on, there's still a lot of questions regarding the name of the promotion which airs this TV show, but I don't think there are many questions about the name of the TV show. It's Impact!. It's the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, that's why Impact! redirects here. Disambigulation isn't needed. Regarding the exclamation point, only using punctuation as a substitute for a letter is discouraged per MOS:TM guideline, examples like Yahoo! are acceptable.LM2000 (talk) 05:46, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Move to Impact (TV series) or given Impact (miniseries) better Impact Wrestling (TV series) per MOS:TM. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:35, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There are 40 individual entries listed at the Impact disambiguation page --- far too many for a separate stand-alone title differentiated solely by an exclamation point. For users who are knowledgeable regarding the exclamation within the specific object of their search, the redirect is sufficient. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:53, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The Show is simply referred to as IMPACT the company uses all caps when using the Impact name they are no longer GFW and Impact Wrestling is the company name not the name of the show, the name is fine as it is JMichael22 (talk) 20:08, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Twitch as a broadcaster

How are we supposed to treat it? As equally a player as Pursuit Channel? Or more secondary like Amazon Prime (and preciously, Twitter) is to Thursday Night Football? Or is it actually the bigger player because it might have bigger reach than the Pursuit Channel--Fradio71 (talk) 03:25, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fradio71: I am unfamiliar with how those are treated. This is considered a simulcast, which to me means both are equal. How are those? - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 16:30, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Impact! (TV series) → TNA Impact! – They have returned to the to TNA Impact name tonight so please move the page. 556TNA (talk) 13:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support/Comment. The promotion started using the TNA Impact! name again for the show last night, the article name should be changed to reflect this new (old) name. However, I feel the article name should be "TNA Impact! (TV series)" to differentiate it from the TNA Impact! video game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin5StarMemphisoYeah0 (talk • contribs) 14:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The page was moved while the RM was opened. That should never be done. I am reverting that move until this discussion is concluded. Let the discussion pay out and be patient. There is WP:NODEADLINE. oknazevad (talk) 01:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Twice, actually. @556TNA: Please no moves until the RM's conclusion. Should the discussion find consensus is in support of a move, the closer will do it, not you. See WP:RM. 162 etc. (talk) 17:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Additional comment The title should be the undisambgiated title without the parenthetical, as the series is the primary topic. oknazevad (talk) 02:01, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So just TNA Impact!? 556TNA (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. The only other use of that is the video game, and the tv series is clearly the primary topic. A hatnote can point to the game's article. oknazevad (talk) 15:21, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK so how can I move it 556TNA (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
