Hello. I've come across a lot of pages that you've created and, just for future reference, the "Origin" field in the infobox don't automatically link. You have to put <nowiki>[[Earth]]</nowiki> instead of just Earth or otherwise it's plaintext. -- [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Saxon]] ([[User talk:Jack "BtR" Saxon|✉️]]) 12:54, September 23, 2020 (UTC) | Hello.

== Dab terms == | == Dab terms == | ||
Hey there, I'm a big fan of your work on the wiki, but there's one thing I've noticed: recently you've created a few pages like [[Jan]] and [[Pathologist]] that should have dab terms but don't. The general rule of thumb is that people with non-unique names, or who are credited only as their job titles, get dab terms for the story they're in. This also applies to pages like [[Louie]] and [[Television Announcer]], since there are tons of television announcers in the DWU (just type "Television announcer" into the search box!) I recognize that these people are credited in this way, but it doesn't mean that they shouldn't get dab terms. For the pages I've mentioned I've manually fixed the links and prepped them for speedy rename, so no worries, but just something to please keep in mind going forward. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 19:43, 16 March 2021 (UTC) | Hey there, I'm a big fan of your work on the wiki, but there's one thing I've noticed: recently you've created a few pages like [[Jan]] and [[Pathologist]] that should have dab terms but don't.

== The Hollow Crown == | |||
Hi, I noticed you added some info about ''[[The Hollow Crown (audio story)|The Hollow Crown]]'' on [[William Shakespeare]]'s page back in January. There's nothing wrong with the edit itself but it did raise some questions about the story which could affect how we treat Shakespeare on the Wiki. Can you tell me if it contradicts, re-asserts or remains ambiguous with regard to the events of ''[[The Kingmaker (audio story)|The Kingmaker]]''? If you haven't listened to that one, the main headlines are that Shakespeare takes the place of [[Richard III of England|Richard III]] at the [[Battle of Bosworth]] while Richard takes Shakespeare's place in [[1597]] and that the daughters of [[Edward IV of England|Edward IV]] [[Susan (The Kingmaker)|Susan]] and [[Judith (The Kingmaker)|Judith]] are also brought forward in time to pretend to be Shakespeare's daughters. Additionally, I'm intrigued by your mention of an "uncut" version of ''[[Richard III (play)|Richard III]]'' as that play was a major plot point of ''The Kingmaker''. Obviously this is not an urgent query so please do take your time and reply at your leisure.

== For(u)m Letter == | |||
Hey there, I hope your Halloween was decent. As you might know, we've not had forums for over two years at this point. A few of the regular editors have been having a discussion on this topic at [[Forum talk:Index]] and we'd like the input of other prominent editors if you have the inclination. Cheers.

== Origins == | |||
Hi there. I don't mind proofreading your pages, fixing spelling and grammar and adding <nowiki>{{Character stub}} and {{What?}}</nowiki> where necessary, but it would be really helpful if you could listen to the messages that Scrooge and I have sent you further up this page and use links in the "Origin" fields in infoboxes. I've had to go through all the pages you've created in the last four years to make sure they're all linked.

== Re: Cite Source edge case/problem == | |||
Sorry for the late response. I've been abroad and so away from my computer from Monday to Wednesday and was ill on Thursday. The relevant documentation is at [[Template:Infobox Story SMW]]. In particular, the <tt>|contributors=</tt> override variable should probably be used here. See [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Renaissance_of_the_Daleks_(audio_story)?diff=3690491&oldid=3688506 this edit]. The only issue is that changes the label from "Writer:" to the plural "Writers:" but I have plans to implement a feature that would get around this in the not too distant future once I've worked through a current backlog of edits that need to be made beforehand.

== The Quin Dilemma == | |||
Hi. Thanks for adding info from this story to the wiki, but I've noticed a couple of things. | |||
* "Quin" isn't the brothers' surname - they're called that because they are (believed to be) quintuplets. | |||
* The fifth brother's name is probably spelt "Ervis" and not "Urvis" given that his brothers' names begin with A, B, C and D. His name probably follows that pattern. | |||
* You've flip-flopped between spellings for their planet. It's spelt "Arunopal". | |||
* You can't put multiple people in the infobox fields for Child, Brother or Sister. They all have to have a separate field i.e. Child, Child2, Child3, etc. | |||
Thanks. [[User:Jack|Jack]] [[User talk:Jack|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:17, 19 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
