__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
As well as being a highwayman, Mace was a theatrical performer until plague stopped the trade. This history meant he was not amazed by the things the [[Fifth Doctor]] showed him. He helped the Doctor, [[Adric]], [[Nyssa]] and [[Tegan]] when they were being chased by peasants. He carried two flintlock pistols.
WELCOME TO THE FRONT PAGE OF THE TARDIS INDEX FILE!
----------------------------------------------
You will note that none of the content of the front page is actually on the front page. For ease of maintenance, all sections of the front page are in a template of their own. Those templates follow the naming pattern {{Doctor Who Wiki/Section Name}}. When those templates are used on this page — and ONLY when they're used on this page — they can be called by dropping "Doctor Who Wiki", as with {{/Section Name}}. This is achieved by linking the subpage with the name of a section to the template with that name. Thus, there is the article subpage: Doctor Who Wiki/Comics and the template page, Template:Doctor Who Wiki/Comics. If you create a new section, you need to create both an article subpage and a template page of the same names. Changing the name of the front page will turn the page into a series of red links. Note that if you want to edit the actual content of the page, you have to click the little symbol of a hand holding a pen (✍) within that section.
Why have we radically changed the coding of the page? In part to protect against vandalism. The front page cannot be totally destroyed by just one action. Rather, each individual section must be attacked for the page to be seriously compromised. It is now possible to fully lock the main page without sacrificing any great editability. New sections can be created, inspected, and vetted before they appear on the front page. And the regular maintenance of the page is now made much easier by allowing editors to just concentrate on the one section they want to change. No more hunting through lines of obscure code to find the bit that changes the "Quote of the week". Now you just click on the edit symbol close to the "QOTW", and change away. Easy.
Mace led the Doctor and company to his hideout, a barn near a manor. He wore a [[Terileptil]] mind-control necklace, but he was unaware it was such a device. He entered the manor with the Doctor and company and was in favour of looting it. Instead he took [[wine]] from the cellar and remarked it tasted like nectar. When the [[Terileptil android]] appeared disguised as the [[Grim Reaper]], he ran but was prevented from leaving by the Doctor. He began to believe the Doctor's words about other worldly beings when he was shown a [[power pack]]. Richard, Nyssa and the Doctor escaped to the Terileptil ship and he was in awe of the dimensions and lighting.
In terms of actual code used to create the page, it's fairly simple, but it's also fairly precise. You can certainly change the order of different sections. You can certainly add sections. But note that the left and right columns operate as different components — albeit with exactly the same syntax.
Mace and the Doctor were captured by the townspeople, and moments before they were executed the lead townsman under Terileptil control prevented it. They were locked away, but broke free as the android attacked the peasants. They went to meet the Terileptil who, offended by Richard's words, hit him. They escaped to Pudding Lane where they killed the Terileptils in a fire. Richard stayed to help fight the flames instead of taking another trip in the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]]. The flames caused the [[Great Fire of London|Great Fire]] of [[London]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Visitation]]'')
=======
Left Column
=======
The following creates the left column. The sections must be precisely here, placed out in a line unseparated by line breaks. Their order, left to right,
indicates their order, top to bottom, on the page. Note that televised episodes are always to be at
the top-most part of the page, so {{/Television}} should always follow {{/Top}}. -->
The following creates the right column. The syntax is just like the left column. The trick when figuring out what to put in each column is to try to balance the columns as much as possible. The left column
should be about as long as the right column. This is difficult, and fairly impossible to achieve precisely. Remember to allow for the advertisement
which appears on the right column. Remember too to set your browser width at no more than about 1024px for testing; preferably pull your
browser window width down to the point that the two columns stop collapsing on each other. That way you can guarantee the way this page
will appear on most browsers. -->

Behind the scenes
The character, in a slightly different form, had previously featured in three radio plays for BBC Radio 4: The Assassin, Pegasus and The Nemesis Machine, all written by Saward. In these, Mace is a Victorian actor-manager who becomes involved in various strange mysteries. He is much like his (presumed) ancestor in mannerisms. This Victorian Mace is portrayed by Geoffery Matthews.
