==Recent edit to your user page==
== Protection request ==
Hi, I've recently made an edit to your user page to prevent the template links forming by adding <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> tags around the templates.


This is because unlike wikipedia we use and value the special pages such as the Wantedpage and these erroneous red links throw off our ability to make judgments concerning what pages need editing or creating. Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 18:13, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

== Starting DWM articles ==
== Source needed ==
Thanks for starting [[DWM 448]].  However, it's important to start such articles with the ''basic'' details being correct.  Ever since DWM starting putting actual dates, as opposed to months, on the cover of their magazines, that date has ''never'' been the date of publication.  Rather, it's the date of expiry — the time that newsstand owners are supposed to remove that issue and replace it with the next one.


Also, I'm seeing the cover date of 448 as 27 June 2012.  Are you sure you haven't confused the 449 cover date with the 447?
Hi! Could you please let me know the source for the information you posted at [[2534]]? Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:19, May 28, 2016 (UTC)
:Oops! Found it and added. Cheers.  :)  ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 21:41, May 30, 2016 (UTC)


I know that you may currently see a lot of sloppy language in the leads of recent DWM issues, but it's important that we convey this most basic of information correctly.
== Could you please... ==


Please [[Forum:DWM issues: please help (re)write leads|click here]] for more information.
Could you please add categories to the following pages, which you created:
* <s>[[Shaw]]</s>
* [[Charlotte (Anachrophobia)]]
* [[Georgia (Anachrophobia)]]
* <s>[[Bragg (Anachrophobia)]]</s>
* <s>[[Lane (Anachrophobia)]]</s>
I had to remove [[:category:Humans]], because that is not to be used on individual pages. Please try to find more specific categories. Is [[:category:Human time travellers]] applicable to [[Georgia (Anachrophobia)|Georgia]] and Dr [[Paterson (Anachrophobia)|Paterson]]? Do I smell [[:category:Human military officers]] for [[Lane (Anachrophobia)|Lane]]?


On another point, please do not include an image link, if that image does not yet appear on the site. While we generally do encourage red links, they are not recommended for images. If a person clicks on that red link to add it, they will not get credit for having added the picture in the [[Game of Rassilon]].  ''You'' may not care about this game, but a number of our editors do. We want to make sure that they get full points, especially if they've taken the time to scan the image.
On a sidenote, always remember to add {{tlx|NameSort}} to every character page, except for obvious exceptions, even if that character only has one name.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 02:15, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
:Thanks for reminding about the Namesort, I'll make sure to include in future. The trouble with categories for Georgia and Charlotte is that I can't find any. Neither time travelled, their spouse/lover time travelled to them. It gives no info in the story about their professions, and nothing about time period. Humans was the best I could think of. If you have any ideas about that, I'd appreciate. Thanks. ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 02:32, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
::I actually consulted the text for this one. Maybe a stretch, but Charlotte could get [[:category:Human students]]? Book says she and Paterson met as students. Actually, that seems pretty sound. Got nothing for Georgia yet.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 02:48, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
:::Your suggestion for Charlotte sounds good, she's fixed. I looked through the text for Georgia too, and couldn't find anything either. I hate when they don't at least include a century or planet or galaxy where the story takes place. Darn authors.  ;)  ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 02:55, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
::::Wait a second, I'm an idiot. They can ''all'' get [[:category:Humans from unknown eras]]. I was ''wondering'' why these seem to be the only pages we have so much trouble with. Like surely Georgia's not the only character mentioned in the history of the DWU not to have enough information to categorise.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 03:00, October 8, 2016 (UTC)
:::::Well now I feel completely dopey too, b/c I forgot all about that category. Problem solved.

== No, Thank ''You'' ==
:Also, I suppose the bigger point is to just use the standard format for adding issues. This format can be found by pulling down to "DWM issue" on the "standard preloads" dropdown under the "edit summary" of the standard (which is to say, '''not Monobook''') editing window.  It's important to use this standard, because it has a lot of time-saving coding already embedded.

::Hi! I'm going through the WantedPages, which is why it may seem I'm making articles haphazardly. Thanks for the headsup on DWM. I looked online and that's the date I found for issue 448. Since 447 was put out in May, it seemed right. But if incorrect, please feel free to fix. I've been rather active on Wikipedia, so I'm used to that, doncha know. Regarding images, I wasn't sure, but that policy is rather what it's like on Wikipedia, so that's cool. I probably won't be making more DWM articles soon, though, since there don't seem to be anymore at the top of the WantedPages.
== Capitalization ==

== Blogs ==
Hi please explain your reasoning for changing all the "OB sound" and "OB lighting" to "OB Sound" and "OB Lighting" when the only OB page we have so far, [[OB cameraman]], is not capitalized. Thanks [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:56, June 6, 2019 (UTC)
Noticed that you tried to start a blog.  We don't offer blogs on this wiki. Also, do please remember to use {{tlx|delete|reason you think a page should be deleted}} when you mistakenly create a page.  Using {{tlx|delete}} puts pages in [[:Category:proposed deletions]], thereby making it easier for admin to maintain the wiki. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 17:44: Fri 28 Sep 2012</span>
:OK, thanks. So how does one get the blog badges then? --[[User:Ebyabe|Ebyabe]] [[User talk:Ebyabe#top|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:51, September 28, 2012 (UTC)


==Infobox adding==
== FP wiki ==
Some articles are short enough that they don't need an infobox. The infboxen are basically for summarising the article, and if it's not particularly long it doesn't need an infobox. I've removed the infobox from [[Betrothal of Sontar‎]] as it's far too short to need an infobox. I've also removed the infobox from [[Constitution III]] as the only additional info it brought to the article was its origin. I've incorporated this info into the article. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:53, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
:Fair enough. Thanks for the note. :) --[[User:Ebyabe|Ebyabe]] [[User talk:Ebyabe#top|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:59, September 29, 2012 (UTC)


== Section stub ==
I left a message for you over at the FP wiki concerning the Warring States summary btw. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:23, September 21, 2020 (UTC)


Hi! I removed the "section stub" that you placed on ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'' and ''[[Evolution (novel)|Evolution]]''. I did it because the placement was messing up the look of the lists on the pages. If you want to put the tags back, I suggest you play around with the placement of the tag, and use the "preview" button to see how it looks before publishing. Thanks!

== Pages moves ==
:Shouldn't the stub box not do that? It doesn't on Wikipedia. Perhaps the formatting for it should be changed? I don't think I'll be adding that tag, though. Maybe notes on talk pages as to what can be improved would be better. ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 15:02, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

::It shouldn't but with Wikia's recent update there are still display issues that are cropping up.
== Apology ==
::Additionally, anything that says "to be added", such as where you added a section stub to on the novel pages, is itself I think enough of an indicator. Only use it to indicate a section that has some (though little) content, not one that is totally lacking it. If you look across practically all of the novel and audio ranges the plot sections are mostly empty as the decision to add a plot section was made late in development, so you don't need to add a section stub to these. Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:49, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Ebyabe, this is former user BSAK64, I know you told me not to message you here. But I’m here to tell you that I am deeply sorry for the way I spoke to you in my previous talk pages messages in the past. Whenever I said to you before here on this wiki (I unfortunately don’t remember,)  didn’t mean for what I said to you, the reason why I got angry and frustrated with you is because I felt like I was being mistreated by you, but now I know that you didn’t do anything wrong. I now know what I did was wrong too, because back then I didn’t know any better when I spoke to you that way, but years later, I know what I did was wrong and I just wanted to let you know that I’m deeply sorry and I regret for the way I messaged you. For now on I promise not to talk to you that way again, but please, I’m begging for forgiveness. Again, I am very, very, sorry for what I did to you before. I really hope you can forgive me and we can put all this behind us and pretend it never happened.

== Be more careful with categories ==
 
Thanks for all your recent page creations! Be a little more thorough when categorising your pages though. You added several pages to the category "Humans" when really you want to put them in categories that describe both their species and their profession or other association, like "Human soldiers." And, if a profession or association isn't apparent, "Individual humans" is a good place holder. [[User:Memnarc|Memnarc]] [[User talk:Memnarc|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:29, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
:You're welcome! I have been trying to do the more specific categories, but I'll look at the category tree to figure out more. "Individual humans"? Didn't even notice that one. Cheers! :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 14:59, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
::Just wanted to add that "Individual humans" is a category of last resort. It should really only be used if you can't tie them to ''any'' sort of profession or association. For instance, on the page [[Vocano]], you had it categorised under both "Individual humans" and "Human scientists", when you really only needed "Human scientists". That category lets the user know that he's both human and a scientist, so "Individual humans" is a bit redundant. Just something to keep in mind. [[User:Memnarc|Memnarc]] [[User talk:Memnarc|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:37, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
:::Missed that. Thanks. :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 13:09, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
 
== Tenses ==
 
Another thing to keep in mind is that you want to keep everything in the past tense. Everything in the [[DWU]] isn't "happening" it "happened," if you get my meaning. [[User:Memnarc|Memnarc]] [[User talk:Memnarc|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:12, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
:Yep, I do. I've been doing so, but may occasionally slip, doncha know. Doing my best. :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 17:36, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
 
== Doctor incarnations ==
 
Per wiki policy, it's preferred that you don't [[pipe switch]] an incarnation of the Doctor's page to "the Doctor", i.e. <nowiki>[[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]]</nowiki>. Good job on all those page additions, though. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 19:22, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
:I've seen it both ways on various pages, so I wasn't sure. But now that I see [[Tardis:Doctors]], I understand. Actually, it's easier that way, since the piping takes a bit of extra effort. Thanks, and cheerio! :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 20:01, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
 
==Alternate Earth individuals==
You're kinda confusing the category structure of this category, introducing OOU terms into an in-universe category structure. As you can see in the category itself [[:Category:Alternative Earth individuals]] if you want a category specific to a story go with [[:Category:Alternative Earth (Day of the Daleks) individuals]] or something like that. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 03:39, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
:So, for example, [[:Category:Silurian Earth individuals]] should be [[:Category:Blood Heat individuals]]? ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 13:10, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 
:No. That's the right way around. The other categories you've created that I've tagged with a rename are the wrong ones (they're all in the [[:Category:Articles that need renaming]] at the moment). 
:The more specific category name the better. I looked at [[:Category:Imperial Moon individuals]] for several moments and couldn't work out what the category was about. With our category format that would suggest that that category contained individuals who are from the moon "Imperial Moon".  
:The category for those individuals, what I assume you mean by its inclusion in that category is [[:Category:Alternative timeline (Imperial Moon) individuals]] or [[:Category:Alternative Earth (Imperial Moon) individuals]] – or something like that. If there's nothing more specific about that timeline that's mentioned in the novel, in the case of [[:Category:Silurian Earth]] and [[Category:Arthur's World individuals]] those terms are used because they're more specific than "Alternative Earth (dab term) individuals". --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 14:17, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
