Surprisingly little on Wikipedia

I wanted to double-check that I recalled Aunt Flo correctly from Bod (1975) so I checked its Wikipedia page and was surprised how little information it contains about a show that must have been seen by millions. Out of curiosity, as a point of comparison, I checked the Wikipedia page for In the Night Garden … (2007) which I recalled as being quite extensive. That latter page indeed seems fuller than Bod's but it is rather less than I remember. A little investigation suggests that perhaps Bod never got much of a page and In the Night Garden's was previously larger but no longer even tells us what the Og-Pog is. I don't know which is more inexplicable: that perhaps Aunt Flo never got more than a brief mention or that material originally written about Makka Pakka's accouterments is no longer judged worthy of inclusion.
