Talk:List of Miss World titleholders

Comment

I assume that this article was created so that the exact same table can be taken out of the main article (Miss World)to free it up. Otherwise, this article would have to become a candidate for deletion. GringoInChile 08:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, to free up and shorten the Miss World article. Just be patient, I just created it now. I am planning to pattern the Miss World article layout along the lines of Miss Universe article, wherein only the information concerning the most recent editions are placed in the main article.

Historical Flags

IP editors keep reverting my edits from the historical flags to the modern current flags. This is not that noticeable in the case of the Philippine (different shade of blue), Brazilian and US (different no. of stars) flags but for the case of South Africa it seems out of place that the modern blue, red, green and black flag is used around the time of the Apartheid instead of the white, orange and white tricolor.Why revert? This also plagues the Miss International and Universe articles. Miss Earth has none of this since its a recent article. Any thoughts in support or against this comment.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 04:14, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

old flags are better, no flags even better as they add clutter. Legacypac (talk) 07:25, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Lexie Brockway?

There is a widely cited person named "Lexie Brockway" who may have been a Miss Word USA. The United States representatives at Miss World article suggests that Brockway "replaced" 1973 Winner Marjorie Wallace, however, the section about the loss of Wallace's title on her page does not mention Brockway. If true, it would be good to find some reliable sources regarding Brockman obtaining the title. Please see discussion at Talk:United States representatives at Miss World.

I want the permission to copy the list formatting code as i am unfamiliar to that format and want to apply it in a wiki page. Adithya Mahadev. B (talk) 07:14, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone will add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself.

@Adithya Mahadev. B: Even though you can't edit it, the source code should still be available to you. You could try copying that instead. Also, you'll probably find Help:Tables helpful for understanding table syntax. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 08:58, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Why is there a small cross after some of the winners names?

Does anyone know the reason some of the winners have a small cross after their names? 2A00:23EE:1260:7A4:ADF5:D333:9A89:8D51 (talk) 14:51, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Those people are no longer alive. The † symbol (technically a dagger rather than a cross) is commonly used to allude to death in some way. - dcljr (talk) 04:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
