Greetings Josiah, and welcome aboard! I'm very pleased with your enthusiasm for the project and greatly apprecaite the input you've given and the edits you've made.

To address some of your questions, I had thought of calling the site,
I'm also still finding my way around, it's strangely like the old days of the wiki (even saying stuff like that reminds me how long I've been editing on the wiki!). Everything seems to work similarly, but I think there'll need to be a review policies etc, now we're not under the auspices of those over there, and just a lot of historical stuff that's come and gone. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 00:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
"[[The Matrix]]," but that might lead people to think this was a wiki about a certain Keanu Reeves film trilogy.  "Amplified Panatropic Computer Network" would have been too cumbersome a name, plus it would make the URL too long  unless I specified "APCN" as the desired URL. Plus, folks who have only recently been introduced to [[Doctor Who]] or had not seen
"[[The Deadly Assassin]]" might not recognize either "Amplified Panatropic Computer Network" or "APCN" as Doctor Who references. I wanted a name that would be instantly recognizable as being related to Who, and since "TARDIS Information System" had the word "[[TARDIS]]" in it, and referred to a searchable database, I chose that. Of course, I've since changed the project name to "[[TARDIS Index File]]," for reasons mentioned in the
[[Talk:Main Page | Talk on that subject]].
 
As for the first order of business, I honestly haven't a clue where to begin. Though it would seem to make since that if we expect people to contribute to this wiki, we should give them some idea of how to do it, since not all of them will be familiar with wiki, and also make it easier for them to find their way around the site. Yes, the [[Help:Contents | Help]] section needs to be developed further. The [[Tardis:Community Portal | Community Portal]] needs work. Articles on the [[Doctor]], [[Gallifrey]], [[List of Doctor Who stories | the stories]] and so forth, can probably get done as we get to them.  Conventions can also be worked out later, but not too much later, else we'll have a truckload of entries that will need editing to bring them within the confines of these conventions.
 
:Thanks for the input, Freethinker! --[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] 17:49, 23 Feb 2005 (GMT)

I like to keep conversations together. If you leave me a note here, I'll usually respond here. If I've started a conversation on your talk page, I'll usually check your talk page for a reply. (There may be exceptions, but that's the general pattern.) If a conversation jumps between pages, I'll often copy it over so that the whole thing appears on one page.

Working out the new and old[[edit source]]

I'm also still finding my way around, it's strangely like the old days of the wiki (even saying stuff like that reminds me how long I've been editing on the wiki!). Everything seems to work similarly, but I think there'll need to be a review policies etc, now we're not under the auspices of those over there, and just a lot of historical stuff that's come and gone. --Tangerineduel / talk 00:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
