message: I added this tag in the article page because it is getting too long, and some sections are getting attention away from the main focus. Rather than adding , it would be better to leave this tag alone until we can work this article out. --Gh87 09:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The introduction doesn't really make it clear that Pyramid is the collective title for multiple incarnations of the same show. I'm not sure of how to rewrite the intro, however -- does anyone have any suggestions? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 05:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a start. All the pages related to this show still need work; just like most of the game show pages, there's just too much cruft. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Intro rewrite

message: How about some info about the actual game play? That all got wiped out when the gameplay subarticle got nuked, and it needs to be re-added to this article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I really don't know why the guy prodded it without asking us if we wanted to take any of the info and trim it for the main article. Best we can do is get someone who really knows the game well, and can sum it up in a few paragraphs or less. FamicomJL (talk) 16:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked an admin to userfy the page, and am currently taking a whack at trimming it down. It can be found here in case anyone else wants to help. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I put in some basic, straightforward gameplay information. I haven't yet dealt with the bonuses like the Lucky Seven/Big Seven, 7-11, etc., and I only saw the $50,000 version once, so I have little knowledge of it. Feel free to expand, or to whack away.

replies: text: Regarding the coin toss to break the Winner's Circle tie in tournament play, the coin toss was conducted on stage, and in Episodes #373, #374, and #547 (September 9-10, 1987, and August 30, 1988, respectively) Dick Clark used a half-dollar.

thread_title: Gameplay info

message: Orbis Communications never distributed the John Davidson version of The 100,000Pyramid, so that's incorrect. It was Multimedia Entertainment that was the distributor for that version.  King Shadeed 14:47, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Multimedia was the distributor for the second season, Orbis for the first (the latter was even mentioned in the show's closing credits, as was parent company Carolco).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RadioChuck (talk • contribs) 07:36, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

message: "A weekly syndicated nighttime version, known as The $25,000 Pyramid", with a "network daytime version" that "increased its top prize and was renamed The $20,000 Pyramid". Huh?!  TREKphiler hit me ♠  08:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A version hosted by Bill Cullen aired once a week at night and was titled The $25k Pyramid.  A version hosted by Dick Clark aired daily in the mornings and was titled The $20k Pyramid. Sottolacqua (talk) 12:07, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Short count

message: I was always under the assumption that in the 1982-1988 runs, the first Winner's Circle was worth $10,000, and a second victory was an ADDITIONAL $25,000. Meaning two wins in the same day netted a player $35,000. This is the impression I got from Dick Clark's explanation at the top of the show. Thanks for the correction.

message: It says in the infobox that Steve O'Brien was the announcer from 1979 to 1982. It should be 1979-1981. Also Alan Kalter should be in the infobox along with Steve O'Brien. The two alternated after Bob Clayton died.--E2e3v6 (talk) 23:33, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I also deleted the article "the" from the sentence "found in the water" because we usually don't say, for example, "the water is too hot" but rather "Water is too hot", at least to my appreciation. --Fandelasketchup (talk) 11:33, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Having attended the taping I can confirm that SanAnMan's original edit was correct, the top prize of the show is $150,000 (outside of the Mystery 7 bonus) provided that the player goes back to back and wins at the The Winner's Circle each time with the first one worth $50,000 and second trip up worth $100,000. I'm not sure how else to state this other than having attended the taping myself. retched (talk) 19:58, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Tag the edit with WP:CITENEED and an appropriate explanation. When the episode airs, remove CN and add Template:Cite episode. AldezD (talk) 20:04, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I went ahead and edited in a Template:Cite Episode for Season 1, Episode 3. The player went ahead and won $4,500 on Game 1's Winner Circle and then $100,000 on Game 2's Winner Circle. He was shown winning $104,500 meaning they combined the totals. So if he won at Game 1's Winner Circle and at Game 2's Winner Circle, it'd show $150,000 instead. Feel free to remove it but you can't really say the limit is $100,000 anymore, at least for the 2016 Revival. (The Cite Episode can be reworked as I have NO idea how to format it for the game shows. It was just Episode 3, Season 1 of the ABC Show.) retched (talk) 05:05, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Pyramid (game show) →  – Per the last RM in 2018, "Pyramid" has a long standing precedent as a catchall term for the franchise as a whole. As this article covers all incarnations of the show, and such a move was suggested last go round, this might be viable. Compare Double Dare (franchise), which covers all variants of that show.
