Listed below are the wiki standards that I plan to use on contestant pages that I will create and/or edit. I'll initially do this for the contestant pages of those from the U.S. clock format, followed by other seasons and/or other editions.

Having a consistent format in contestant pages promotes consistency in this wiki, something that needs improvement. Contestants will have their contestant page created or edited in a similar way to that of Sally Vander Veer's contestant page.

Notes on template usage:


 * The header should follow a format exactly like this: "Question 15 of 15 (Bottoms Up!) ― $1,000,000 (4:39 time limit)".
 * Do not use a filler string for an unknown/non-given category or time limit. Do not add an empty parenthetical expression.
 * Special strings should be like any of these: "Fastest Finger First Question", "Audience Question ― $1,000", "Special Question ― $50,000", "Question of the Day (October 17, 2016)", "Tournament Question", etc.
 * Irrelevant but noteworthy information may be added on the captions outside of the template's table in small italic font.
 * On timed questions, in almost all cases, the remaining time will be put in the captions if it is short enough (e.g. 0 seconds left on the first question) or if the time taken to answer is short enough (e.g. Alan Carver).
 * The footer variable should be used to present:
 * Lifeline usage, in order (e.g. "50:50", "Ask the Audience", and "Phone-A-Friend" lifelines used (A: 50% • B: 50% • C: 0% • D: 0%))
 * Any Phone-A-Friend guesses or Ask the Expert insights should be on the footer instead.
 * If the question was jumped, use "jump" on the qstyle. There is no associated qstyle if the question was switched (or cut).
 * Any winnings being guaranteed (either by fixed or adjustable milestones)
 * The question value and bank value on the shuffle format, plus the fact that $25,000 is guaranteed after the tenth question
 * The total winnings of the contestant if the game ended on that question
 * Indicate if the contestant became a top prize winner by answering the question correctly.
 * Use the term "nothing" instead of $0, £0, etc. (e.g. Lovi Yu)
 * The amount a contestant lost on a wrong answer may be indicated, but only on the caption, if it is noteworthy (e.g. Josina Reaves, Ken Basin, etc.)
 * Also indicate otherwise if the question was a free guess.
 * If a question is a bad question
 * If a question was replaced due to a lifeline, see above
 * The presenter of a CELEBRITY Q, such as this one.
 * The first wrong Double Dip answers are now in gray, unlike the old question template.
 * If the contestant failed to give a second answer due to running out of time (and/or attempting to walk away), use "chosen" instead of "DD" on the first answer. Add "(ran out of time without giving a second answer)" on the footer.
 * Indicate the correct answer even on a question walked away from by the contestant. The footer would contain the fact that the contestant walked away.

Notes on contestant page format:
 * For U.S. contestants, use terms such as "the original primetime season", "the seventh season", "the Super Millionaire spin-off" and "the 10th Anniversary Primetime Celebration" (note the italics)...
 * ...followed by "of the  U.S. version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on ".
 * Put any theme of the week before any/all of this.
 * If there's some other contestant info that will make the introduction prettier than usual, you may put it in.
 * In general, while I'm not yet dealing with non-U.S. versions, use "the of" followed by the international version's name, if any, in italics (e.g. Millionaire Hot Seat), then "a"/"an"/"the" followed by the country identifier (e.g. "an Australian version"), followed by "of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on ".
 * Put in the article, just as usual, the amount won, the value of the question walked away from or answered incorrectly (if any), the questions, any trivia and/or facts, the videos and/or sources, and a succession box.
 * In categorizing the contestant page, place the page in two categories: the category of " winners from  " and the category of " contestants from  ". To be exact (and not exact), in the U.S.:
 * For the former, use " winners from" followed by "the U.S. primetime version", "Season N (U.S. syndication)" (N is the number), "Super Millionaire (U.S.)", or "the 10th Anniversary Celebration (U.S.)".
 * For the latter, use "U.S. contestants from " followed by "(Primetime)", "(Season N)" (N is the number), "(Super Millionaire)", or "(10th Anniversary Celebration)".
 * Also add the article to any other categories that fit.

Please message me if you strongly disagree with any of these changes, if you have a suggestion, etc.
