It's nice to have yet another editor working on Faction Paradox articles. I think at this point there's more of us than there are wiki editors who have actually ''seen'' [[Class (TV series)|Class]]. With that said, when creating a page, please do not just copy and paste text from an already existing article. That's plagiarism, and a big no-no on fandom. In general we also try to keep citations at the end of paragraphs, and if there's an in-line citation, that's because we're usually citing two different statements and there's ''also'' one at the end of the paragraph. Also, all pages should have a category upon their creation, but our category system is a bit complicated for new users to understand, so don't worry too much about that one at the moment. (As a tip, source editor tends to be more helpful, I've found, but your workflow is your workflow.) As the welcome template says, we're glad to have you, and if you have any questions you can always ask an [[Tardis:Administrators|admin]]. (I know two of them are currently reading TBotW, and Scrooge has actually written for FP before.) I'm not one, but I'm always willing to help new users, and in general we're a friendly bunch with quite a few FP fans. Cheers.

== The War King/Appearances == | |||
Hi there. You might want to compare your edit on [[The War King/Appearances]] to mine to clear things up. If you use rowspan, that field will cover as many rows as the number you put; for instance, you put rowspan=27 for some things even though there are only nine rows, which is one reason that it was messed up when you created it. I don't blame you, though. They're rather fiddly. [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Jack "BtR" Saxon]] [[User talk:Jack "BtR" Saxon|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:35, 17 February 2023 (UTC) | |||

# "ref" tags are meant to indicate sources for our readers, not editing notes for other editors. If you want to leave notes to other editors like "find name", use this syntax: <nowiki><!-- NOTE --></nowiki>. That way it won't show up for readers. | |||
# I've created redirects for the Phoenix Court novels: [[Marked for Life (novel)]], [[Does It Show? (novel)]], [[Could It Be Magic? (novel)]], [[Fancy Man (novel)]]. Please link to those redirects instead of [[Phoenix Court (series)]]; this way we can use Bongo's citation template, and it'll also be less confusing if and when Phoenix Court is validated and we have actual pages for the novels. | |||
# Do you think we need separate subpages for this material? For instance, when I was wikifying content about [[Spiderweiss]] from a non-covered charity story, since that story was the debut appearance of Spiderweiss, I made the judgment call that this constituted a major appearance for Spiderweiss and thus the content should go on the main page with {{tlx|NCmaterial}}, not a subpage. I think the same might be true for [[Big Sue]] and the rest, so I've added a few {{tlx|merge}} templates here and there. | |||
Looking forward to learning more about Pheonix Court through your wikification, and I hope you're well! – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:00, 13 May 2023 (UTC) | |||

== Minor edits == | |||
Noticed recently you've been tagging a lot of edits with the minor edit check, a lot of the edits are ''far from'' minor. A minor edit is for example a typographical correction, or fixing a spacing issue on a page. It's marking the edit as a superficial change to the page that shouldn't warrant review. Wikipedia has a good explanation of it [[wikipedia:Help:Minor edit]]. Deleting paragraphs or adding content to a page ''is not'' a minor edit. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 03:09, 10 February 2024 (UTC) | |||

Phoenix Court[[edit source]]
Hi, I've been really enjoying reading your Phoenix Court-related pages, it's awesome to see that series get more coverage on the wiki! Just some quick notes I'd like to share:
- "ref" tags are meant to indicate sources for our readers, not editing notes for other editors. If you want to leave notes to other editors like "find name", use this syntax: <!-- NOTE -->. That way it won't show up for readers.
- I've created redirects for the Phoenix Court novels: Marked for Life (novel), Does It Show? (novel), Could It Be Magic? (novel), Fancy Man (novel). Please link to those redirects instead of Phoenix Court (series); this way we can use Bongo's citation template, and it'll also be less confusing if and when Phoenix Court is validated and we have actual pages for the novels.
- Do you think we need separate subpages for this material? For instance, when I was wikifying content about Spiderweiss from a non-covered charity story, since that story was the debut appearance of Spiderweiss, I made the judgment call that this constituted a major appearance for Spiderweiss and thus the content should go on the main page with {{NCmaterial}}, not a subpage. I think the same might be true for Big Sue and the rest, so I've added a few {{merge}} templates here and there.

TARDIS control room pages[[edit source]]
Hi, I like your sandboxes of pages for the TARDIS control rooms. Could I have permission to move them into the main namespace under more succinct names (e.g. TARDIS control room (An Unearthly Child) instead of The Doctor's TARDIS control room (An Unearthly Child))?
