Also about Koh-Lanta, when you reorganized the tribe pages, the times when a contestants re-enters the game to replace an evacuation are now considered as tribe swaps, like in this edit.

I don't know if you know that, but it used to be like this before I changed it. The thing is, considering it as a tribe swap is a very "Americanized" way of looking at it, and I don't think it really works in the context of Koh-Lanta. From their point of view, it's not a tribe swap, it's just replacing an evacuation by the person most recently voted out, regardless of their former tribe. The castaway is not "swapped" because they were tribeless since the moment they were voted out. The tribes are still the same, only with the evacuee being replaced. For example, that's why when Kelly joined Sokka after being voted out from Takéo, I didn't mention it on the Takéo page because from their point of view, nothing changed. They have one less member because they went to Tribal, and the person they voted out coincidentally happened to come back in the opposite tribe because one of their members got evacuated.

So, I think the way I put it, by acknowledging the replacement without considering it as a tribe swap, is a better way of describing it and helps at understanding. The foreign versions of Survivor have their own ways of handling circumstances, and sometimes it's better to look at it from their point of view instead of adapting it to the U.S. version's.
