== Hidden cats ==
----
 
Got a reply back from [[user:Dopp|Dopp]] today, which reads:
:Thanks for contacting us about this issue. We've phased out that preference due to lack of use across Wikia, and anyone who still has it is grandfathered in until they select "Restore all default settings" in their preferences. We don't currently have a way of overriding this phase-out.


:Hidden Categories still work, however, and you can see them in [[:Category:Hidden categories]] and in your pages' source code (although i see that you're embedding them in templates, too, so that further complicates things). Apologies for the complications this raises. I hope the existing tools provide enough of a workaround for your team members to support the wiki.
== Re: I'm here ==
I've responded with a feature request to just make it a standard admin power to see hidden categories.  This is, I'm sure, technically possible, but I wouldn't hold out hope. If that change is technically easy — which it ''might'' be — then someone on the dev team might say, "Yeah, that's worth 1 minute of my time."  If it's ''at all'' time-consuming, I wouldn't expect much action, because the move has a terrible cost/benefit ratio for Wikia. It's only a few big wikis like us, MemAlpha, and Wookieepedia that even care about hidden cats, despite the fact that they are in wide use on Wikipedia. So we're effectively asking for something ''for us'', rather than a change that most of Wikia will actually use.


Basically, in your position, your only hope of access to hidden cats is to go to [[:category:Hidden categories|Hidden categories]] or [[:category:Maintenance|Maintenance]], where most of the hidden categories are attached. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">18:31: Fri&nbsp;02 Mar 2012&nbsp;</span>
Hey, thanks for letting me know. If I have any issues, I'll let you know (and I'll try not to bother you too much!). Thanks for the support on the OfficialBBC thing.  


== Rory's main page image ==
Did you see the other issue that Masterpwn mentioned on my page? I gather she's having trouble with the table of contents boxes on many pages, but I have no clue what the trouble could be. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:27, May 13, 2014 (UTC)


[[File:Rory_-_TDTW&TW.jpg|thumb]]This is what you said last night when I edited the main image to the Rory page:
== Updates to Runaway Bride page ==


"SO what if its new - it's better to have a older, better quality quality picture than an badly cropped, poor quality newer one."
What's with all the little updates??? Put that all up at once dude!!!--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] [[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:28, February 14, 2016 (UTC)


Now, to be honest I don't appreciate this as it quite rude really. The image is taken from a BBC One HD screencap - the quality is good, it is not poor. It's not badly cropped either - I just cropped Amy's hair out as it's not relevant to the Rory page is it?
*Since I don't know if your watching my talk page here's a copy of my response: Really??? Hmmm... let's see... I count at least 15 edits before I got sick of clicking New Edit. That's ''way'' too much when its all one sentence things and throws the whole editing process off. You can't do that, particularly if they're just one sentence things. Its not like your making huge posts, no these are just tiny one sentence additions. You could be blocked for that. You keep that up I ''will'' petition to block you.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] [[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:37, February 14, 2016 (UTC)


There's no need to be rude like that. There really isn't.
== Removing/Deleting posts ==


I'm just doing this because I find it contradictory as Rory's current page image [[File:RoryWilliams1.jpg|thumb]]should really be cropped as half of it doesn't contain Rory.
I want my posts in the '''Fact checking''' category of ''Doctor Who Discussions'' to be removed/deleted. Reason: need speculation ('''opinions and theories'''). Not facts.


Portriat images on this wiki help the page flow much better which is what I was trying to do. The fact its a newer image too, which I've been told on here before is the best thing to have makes the page more upto date. That's a key thing surely?


The current landscape image scrunches the page up and doesn't make it flow well, so surely one that is much better for that, irrespective of whether it's super high quality is surely better? Beside, when the page is at it is, the image doesn't appear high quality until you click to see it full-sized, so surely my image, which is the same quality all the time is much more suitable?

I just hope you reconsider this as I didn't appreciate your rude reason last night. Atleast I've had constructive criticism before in the past, not just plain rudeness, so I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for the great suggestion!  {{{voice actor}}} is now a part of {{tl|Infobox Individuals}}.  I've also thrown in {{{other actor}}} for those cases of performances of characters in limited narrative circumstances, like youth/age/alternate universe/because Frazer Hines got sick/because William Hartnell inconveniently died.

Personally, I'm not sure either way. Though putting "[Earth country], Earth" I would absolutely ''never'' do. I completely agree [[Cardiff]], [[Wales]], [[United Kingdom|UK]], [[Earth]] isn't right.

I think I put it up because of the way it flows more than it being necessary. What would you say about smaller towns like [[Foxgrove]] or [[Dry Springs]] with that pattern? -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 20:45, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

: Actually, I wasn't thinking of that at all. I was fine with [City] for major cities and [City], [Country/State] for smaller and fictitious places. I considered the [City] style was because most people know what you mean by London, Liverpool, Beijing and so forth and you ''wouldn't'' for much smaller villages and [City], [Country/State] would be okay for them. I was just double checking you thought that was okay. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 20:54, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

== Requested variables  ==
[http://tardis.wikia.com/d/p/2899264279691658817] Regeneration: Subconscious
*'''Home era/Era active/anything like it'''. No. Just no.  Not going into that minefield again.  It's out for good. As you'll remember, in the thread [[Forum:Home Era]] '''you yourself''' de-activated the line after a lengthy discussion that was well attended by a lot of people.  As far as I'm concerned, you determined the consensus on the matter and implemented change based on that consensus.  If you want it back, now, you'll have to reverse yourself and get it approved through the forums.  And it does rather look like both I and Tangerineduel were strongly opposed to it in the original discussion, so I wouldn't expect a reversal from either of us, unless you come up with arguments not originally put forward.  I've got a bot run planned to eliminate all that data, based on the original consensus, so if you're going to start a new discussion, please let me know in the next 24 hours, or the point will be moot anyway.
*'''Affiliation''' is a part of {{tl|Infobox Individual}}, as has been written up in the documentation.


So that's two for three on new variable requests.  That's pretty good.  Keep 'em comin'! (But please use [[Forum:New infoboxes and you]] from now on, so that it's all centralised.) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">21:44: Sun&nbsp;11 Mar 2012&nbsp;</span>

Hey, sorry to jump on it so quickly, but I've deleted the pic you just uploaded for the [[Eighth Doctor]].  That pic, or one very like it, was what was on the page for a long time, and then deliberately deleted, per the discussion at [[talk:Eighth Doctor#Infobox pic]]. The one in the elevator was arrived at after quite a bit of discussion and it's actually pretty great. Is it left-looking?  No, but it's not ''right''-looking, and the body angles are all slanted left, because he's standing left, but looking up.


A part of the deal in changing out these doc pics is to emphasize the need for, as much as is allowed by the body of work of the actor, extreme closeups in infoboxes.

The elevator shot ticks the boxes of a great infobox pic, and, moreover, it was agreed through discussion.  What we really need is a more characteristic Tenth Doctor pic that's tight, left looking and preferably smiling rather than the dour I'm-about-to-die thing that's currently going on. I could look for it, but I need to get back to infoboxes. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">15:35: Wed&nbsp;14 Mar 2012&nbsp;</span>
