In February 2011 in Ukraine will start a new show "Millionaire - Hot seat" ("Мiльйонер - Гаряче Крiсло"). Please, add this show in this table. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.106.172.194 (talk) 15:26, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moroccan version

Hello everyone. Since a while there's a Moroccan version listed in the table. I searched the page of the channel, also on google etc. but I couldn't find any proof of its existence. I don't speak Arabic nor is my French is very well, but if there is such a version, something should be found on the internet. Also the name in the list seems to be spelled incorrectly. In the Dutch Wikipedia, however, the name was spelled in correct French. Can anyone bring a proof for this version? Info or a logo? Thank you! --Kazu89 21:10, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, no response in one week. I will remove this edition now. --Kazu89 17:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How many is 7.500.000$00 escudos?

How many Portuguese escudos is 7.500.000$00? Is it 7 million 500 thousand escudos or 750 million escudos or what other? Kubek15^{(Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX)} 14:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right, it's 7,5m. Portuguese used to write amounts of money this way. --Kazu89 ^ノート 16:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, 7.500.000$00 means 7500000 escudos and 00 centavos! Thanks. Kubek15^{(Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX)} 16:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kurdish Version

South Kurdistan (iraqi Kurdistan) has its own version in Kurdish Language. why isnt this version represented on this page, i added it once but it was removed, it is broadcast on Kanal 4, availible on hotbird freq 12245.00 MHz 188.221.24.172 (talk) 16:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why. Could you please make a photo of the Miliyoner show, I am very interested about it :) Kubek15 ^write/sign 18:33, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unregistered versions

In the list there are some game shows which are not registered editions of WWTBAM. These are 超級大富翁 from Taiwan, the two local Indian editions (kodeeswaran), the both Thai versions and the Brazil Show do Milao which appeared here several times. Also, there's still no prove of a Moroccan WWTBAM show, which is already mentioned above. I removed this show already (once or twice) but it was added again without a note on the talk page. I will remove the mentioned shows from the list if nobody vetoes within 7 (seven) days and keep removing them after re-listing until there's any prove that they are regularly licensed WWTBAM versions. Kindest regards, Kazu89 ^ノート 13:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I donno about Taiwan, but i do have proof about Brazil. There is a video that refrences it, and there is a new one. The Morrocian TV show is acually part of the Arab Mahgreb, so it has its own version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.73.89.38 (talk) 18:34, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Inter)National Variants

This article should really be titled International Variants. National variants would be variations within one singular nation. How do you change the article's name? Sottolacqua (talk) 00:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would change to "List of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? versions in the world". Kubek15^{(Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX)} 11:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnamese version

Someone changed the main prize of this version to 120000000 dongs, but I saw some videos in which main prize in Ai la trieu phu is 120,000 dongs (eg. [1] or [2]), but according to Yahoo Finance ([3]), 120000 dongs is 7.261 dollars. 7 dollars as main prize? So, should I revert this edit, or not? (120000000 dongs is 7,261.728 dollars - OK, 7 thousand dollars is a good prize). Kubek15^{(Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX)} 12:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Hello Kubek, me again. I tried to find out something to help in this issue but I guess this won't really help. On the official VTV3 website - where can actually read nothing - I saw "120 triệu". I translated this with an online dictionary that told me that "triệu" means "million(s)". I used the online translater of the same website to translate the show's title and it gave out "Who is multimillionaire" (sorry, no direct linking). All this implies a top prize of 120 million, but as we can't understand the language, we should try to ask a native speaker/viewer. What do you think? --Kazu89 ^ノート 01:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but why on these videos there is 120,000 dongs prize? Kubek15^{(Sign!) (Contribs) (UBX)} 19:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't really tell you. Maybe it's a shortened idication? I will try to find it out for you. --Kazu89 ^ノート 23:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think, 3 digits is omitted on television.--Mimura flavor (talk) 06:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I tried but I couldn't find any information. But I agree with Mimura-san. --Kazu89 ^ノート 19:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Norwegian version

I wrote a section for the Norwegian version of the show because of its new format, but User:85.148.165.7 removed it. I don't know what the reason was, does anyone know what it could have been?--Eikern (talk) 09:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Slovakia version

What is the new format after Slovakia changed currency to euro in 2009? 202.75.80.178 (talk) 02:15, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It ended broadcasting in 2007! Kubek15^{T CS} 14:05, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it ended on 2008 88.212.37.200 (talk) 07:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some versions of WWTBAM are cancelled without proof!

Hio, i have found out that some versions are cancelled without proof. They aare: Angolia, Afghanistan (persian), Brazil, Honduras.

Where is the proof?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.73.89.38 (talk) 18:31, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

What do the flags add? --John (talk) 06:01, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The flags signify which country the version is from (Along with the words). Charizard200 (talk) 17:34, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Republic of Moldova

Hello,

Please add Republic of Moldova, because WWTBAM is about to start now, in December (this year).

Thanks.

I searched on internet, official channels websites but I couldn't find any proof of its existence.Manaj2 (talk) 21:19, 1 April 2012 (UTC) Some few versions are fake --Vincent1995 (talk) 20:55, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
