From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

One of my prouder achievements (from the old Fandom wiki).

Hi, I'm Bongo50 almost everywhere, but my wiki account is (for now) Bongolium500. I'm an admin around here and you'll often find me tinkering with templates, CSS and other more technical aspects of the wiki. If you need any help with this or anything else, feel free to drop me a message on my talk page. In particular, I am relatively skilful with Lua and Semantic Media Wiki, CSS, JavaScript and general wikitext templates. I'm the creator of {{cite source}} and so am very able to asist with that.

I have an ambitious goal to consume every piece of surviving Doctor Who-related media, something I will probably never achieve.

The wide and varied DWU[[edit] | [edit source]]

Doctor Who has many crossovers, both licensed and not so licensed.

One of my favourite things about the Doctor Who universe is how large it is. Name any series (particularly a TV or film series) and it is almost guaranteed that you will be able to link it back to Doctor Who somehow. It's a great feeling to know that many of your favourite fictional universes (for me, that's the Doctor Who universe, the 2000 AD universe, the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse and the Warhammer 40,000 universe) are actually one and the same (even if by some very tenuous connections).

Of course, many of these crossovers end up being unlicensed, either on the Doctor Who side of things, the other series' side of things, or both. However, the legal DWU is large and expansive as well! Here are some of my favourite corners of it:

The less-licensed crossovers can still be a lot of fun as well. Here's my favourite: This is an extract from the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (first edition) adventure "The City Beyond the Gate", published in Draogn #100:

A tall, blue box with a bright light on top is found. A tall, curly-haired man with a floppy hat and a long scarf enters the box, followed by a girl saying, "But Doctor, where are we going now?" The light starts to blink, and the box makes hideous screeching noises and slowly vanishes. This encounter can only occur once.'Dragon #100

It describes a random encounter that can occur during the adventure at any time. While this adventure was intended for the Greyhawk setting, all settings are linked. Moreover, all editions of D&D share the same continuity. Therefore, there's technically nothing stopping the Doctor from popping up in your fifth edition game!

Edited pages An automatically updated list of pages I've edited. Warning: according to documentation, rendering this page will put a large strain on the server. I have not observed this behaviour but be aware.
Sandbox 1 A template I made for when facts differ between the DWU and the real world.
Sandbox 2 Work in progress behind the scenes section featuring information from parodical comic series.
Sandbox 3 A table showing the result of breaking the various four little rules.
Sandbox 4 A series of templates I am working on to semi-automate disambiguation pages.
Sandbox 5 Some attempts at making some more detailed source references inspired by Epsilon the Eternal.
Sandbox 6 Some random experiments
Sandbox 7 Various tests with tabs and imitations of tabs.
Sandbox 8 A test of my Disputed Doc and Disputed Doc Top templates.
Sandbox 9 Some trigger warning templates. See trigger and section trigger for the templates.
Sandbox 10 A test of forms. The form used counts the number of pages on which a given template has been transcluded.

Sandbox 12 A demonstration of a rewrite of {{Infobox Story}} with SMW data collection that can be found at {{Bongolium500/Infobox Story SMW}}.
Sandbox 13 Some random testing.
Beginners Guide to Semantic MediaWiki A beginners guide to SMW.
Fandom Desktop personal CSS and JS everyone should consider using Some custom CSS and JS that can't be installed site-wide but that largely improves the skin.
forms A page that will hold all forms I make.
exsource A template I'm developing (see Sandbox 5)
Template count A template that counts the number of pages using a given template.

Disputed Doc A template that lets you switch between Doctor links on pages for stories with disputed Doctor's. See Sandbox 8 for a demo.
Disputed Doc Top Acts as a switch for the above. See Sandbox 8 for a demo.
Link remover A template that strips links (for use in templates).
section trigger A template I'm working on (see Sandbox 9)
trigger A template I'm working on (see Sandbox 9)
Forum search An attempted experimental (non-functional) fix for {{Forums search box}}.
Forum search2 Another attempted experimental (non-functional) fix for {{Forums search box}}.

This list is updated manually and so is pretty much always outdated as I create new subpages quite often (at this point it is so out of date that it is basically useless). I have added an automatically updated list below:

Alt accounts[[edit] | [edit source]]

On occasion, I have needed to test something that requires a fresh, brand-new Fandom account. It is for this reason that I have created the following accounts:

I have no malicious intent with these accounts and they will only be used to test thing when absolutely necessary.

I also have a bot account, User:Botgo50.
