I know tags aren't a feature with the wiki engine, however, I just added some to the template to make it easier to search for things, e.g. if someone tops the lap board etc.
Also a music listing might be more helpful. I think that as this is specific to top gear, it should be far more detailed than the wikipedia site and that if each episode on wikipedia was linked to the relevant page it'd be a worthwhile link.

There are categories. They work as tags.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to decide on either a past or present tense for all episode listings, and stick to it consistently. In the episode template, the summaries for the 'News' and 'Challenge' sections are in past tense, while the rest is in present tense. Technically, a consistent present tense is more appropriate in this case. ie. "Tests", not "tested"; "drives", not "drove", etc...

I agree, and I've always tried to write my entries in the way that Jeremy tells you what is in the show during the opening titles.
It seems some people just aren't sticking to the template either, making more work than necessary. http://wiki.finalgear.com/wiki/Top_Gear_05x06 I have sent a friendly message asking him to use the template, because he is contributing after all, but he didn't take any notice
