I'm noticing more and more instances of people uploading pictures which are, according to agreed practises, flawed in some way.  I'm thinking that part of the reason might be that we haven't put it all together on one page, so I've created [[T:ICC]], or [[Help:Image cheat card]].  It's kind of in the vein of the [[Help:Spelling cheat card]] — just a quick run-through of the big points about image usage.  Let me know if you think it could be improved. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">05:44: Fri&nbsp;11 Nov 2011&nbsp;</span>

Hi. Terribly sorry, I just saw that you and another two users have posted a notice about my misusing the categories system. I've read the site rules and I'm pretty sure I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience, and sorry for not noticing your post on my talk page. Thanks for clearing up my mistakes. [[User:TheAnonJade]]
 
==Page: Virtor==
Hey there. I saw you deleted my recent page before I'd added information. I was midway through editing it; it's just that  creating content on the page creation is cumbersome on my mobile device. I'd appreciate it if you'd give me a few minutes to write the information this time round.
Thanks. [[User:TheAnonJade]] 16:32, 05/09/14.
 
Hi again. I'm sorry for the trouble. I can't view the full edit page on my device, so I have no idea why the article is empty once I complete the edit. I can look at it at home if you're willing to wait, or if not could you take a look at [[Virtor]] and see what mistake I've made. I've put the information in there somewhere, but it's not showing at all when I publish. Sorry, I'm not used to editing via my phone and I won't do so in the future. Sorry and thanks. [[User:TheAnonJade]] 16:46, 05/09/14.
 
Thanks very much. It's turned out to be a nightmare. As I'm idle, I'll carry on with a couple of minor edits if I spot anything, but I definitely won't be doing anything complicated on my mobile in future. Thanks again. [[User:TheAnonJade]] 16:55, 05/09/14.

== Teeny weeny message about Cloister Bell ==
 
Hey there,
I'm headling offline now but I've noticed that some unnamed user had edited the [[Cloister Bell]] page. So out of everyone's interests, I tidied it up. It seemed s/he didn't understand I was helping and reversed it again. I just tidied it up again but if you could keep an eye out so that he doesn't feel the need to leave trails of terrible English on more pages, it'd be appreciated.
If I remember tomorrow, I'll try to clean up that page since it does have quite a lot of bullet points haha.
Thanks mate,<br>

== Fan fiction ==
Eh, hello there. I have a proposal for you and the wiki here! I have just gained control over a DW fan fiction sight and would like to know if you'd like to start a partnership with me and the wiki, perhaps you could mention us on the home page saying "please do not upload fan fiction here, go to -here- instead. What do you think? Would you like to chat about it? {{Unsigned|Bloxxasourus}}

== Gaffabeque vs Gaffbeque ==
 
Hi there.
I just wanted to bring something to your attentions. There are currently two pages about the same thing- [[Gaffbeque]] and [[Gaffabeque]] (regarding the foodstuff mentioned in [[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]).
In the episode, as you'll of course know, it's pronounced "Gaff-a-beque" rather than "Gaff-beque". Is it possible to merge the two pages under the name "Gaffabeque" and use the information on that page since it's more lengthy. Also, we'd need to change the link on the page [[Lucifer]].
Sorry to intrude on your busy patrolling but it's been doing my head in and I don't want to break any rules by merging pages... I don't even know how to do it.
Thanks,

== Re: Transit and Mechanic ==
 
Hi Skittles the hog,
 
My source for the uncredited [[service mechanic]] actors was ''The Doctor Who Production Guide Volume Three: Cast and Crew'' by David Brunt and Andrew Pixley, published by the Doctor Who Appreciation Society in April 1998. I hope this helps. I'd also like to say thank you for your contributions to the page, as these have greatly improved it.
 
On the subject of [[Ford Transit]], I just thought I'd let you know that I accept and respect your decision to delete this page; admins — or is it caretakers now? — know best! I'll just write it off to experience. I'd also like to apologize for my attempts to counter the point on [[Talk:Ford Transit]]; this was the first time I had ever done such a thing, and I'm afraid I failed miserably in doing so — just as I did on [[Talk:Eeny, meeny, miny, moe]].
 
If only I'd called the 'Ford Transit' page 'Pickup truck' instead. It would probably have been less bother...
 
I've printed myself off a copy of [[Tardis:Valid sources]] and will keep it close by when creating pages in the future. I hope my creation of 'Ford Transit' didn't cause too much inconvenience.
 
I await your reply with great interest. -- [[User:Freddie R. Aldous|Freddie R. Aldous]] [[User talk:Freddie R. Aldous|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:06, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

I see your problem. I will add a more apt description to "Human hosts" and "Individual hosts". I will also remove those two previously mentioned categories. Thanks. [[User:66 Seconds|66 Seconds]] [[User talk:66 Seconds|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:26, November 10, 2014 (UTC)
 
== Wanted Pages question ==
 
I am seeking advice. Or advise.  :)
 
I'm working through the WantedPages, and there are some that are, I believe, not really wanted. Like User blog:Magic Afro, BFBS and Template:Str index/logic. I'm not linking them, as that would make the problem worse. Might it be possible to delink them on the pages they are at? Which are often talk pages and Howling forums. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!  ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 02:29, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

== Invite to forum ==
 
Hey Skittles! I wanted to stop by and invite you to be a part of [[Thread:180396]], where we're currently discussing if the [[DWU]] prefix does or does not well-represent our invalid policy. We've got some good input, but barely anything from more than one admin. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 22:56, October 8, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Suggested rename/redirect ==
 
Am I able to suggest a rename for the page [[Kpachoдap]]? It should be changed to '''Краснодар ''' in order for it to be correct. Also, should we set up a redirect from '''Krasnodar''' to here, as it's a real town? I just need to know so I can start the Welsh translation of the page and link them up.
Just suggestions hehe. Thanks for your time.

not gonna sp3end a lot of time on this -- just visited the Tardis Robin Hood page in passing and it crashed my IE 10 on Windows 7 so far five times -- if anybody is serious about providing info for all, this should be looked into -- the basic page frame has been SyFy's Expanse, many other video ads to choose from (for debug / blame)

== Moving pages ==
Since we seem to be collaborating on [[The Silver Turk (audio story)]], I've noticed you've moved a page. I remember some admin mentioning that there are some special non-trivial actions that need to be performed when doing it. So I'm always afraid to do moves myself. What's the procedure exactly?

Hi! So this is going to be a blast from the past, but nine years ago, you were the one who [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Four_Doctors_(audio_story)?diff=466094&oldid=466084 added] the presence of a "Dalek Prime" in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Four Doctors (audio story)|The Four Doctors]]'' as a continuity point referencing the Dalek Prime from [[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]''. Whether that actually is meant to be the same Dalek Prime is one of the many issues under discussion in my [[Thread:257167]], so your input, among others', would be appreciated. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:04, September 15, 2019 (UTC)

The Template Template:Cyberman variants has a tiny issue w/ it, and it's locked to non-admins. It's a simple problem, the Cyberman (Mondas) section links to Cyberman, because it was made before we made the switch of pages. Cheers! ;) OttselSpy25 OttselSpy25 talk to me 22:34, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Victory is yours[[edit source]]

You'll be happy to know you've effectively won a long-standing debate on an MOS issue. See T:SPACING, paragraphs two and three, for more. Even as we speak, the bot is now systematically ensuring that every full stop has only one space after it. (I can't bring myself to say it's the actual rule, though. I won't do it. I won't, I tell you. You can take the practical victory. Fine. But too many of our ancestors got marked off in their typing classes for using one space to say that it is theoretically wrong to put two.)

hello, its a bit weird that alot of context on your talk page has gone. could you tell me what this is? also, on http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Boblipton there is no text. I remember putting somthing on it, kindly explain.....Metardis talk to me

Image rules cheat card[[edit source]]

I'm noticing more and more instances of people uploading pictures which are, according to agreed practises, flawed in some way. I'm thinking that part of the reason might be that we haven't put it all together on one page, so I've created T:ICC, or Help:Image cheat card. It's kind of in the vein of the Help:Spelling cheat card — just a quick run-through of the big points about image usage. Let me know if you think it could be improved.

Images by story categories[[edit source]]

Please be aware that images by televised story and images by comic story are now completely filled out with subcategories for each and every story of that type. So if you have an image from say, Thinktwice, you'll want to make sure that you put it in Category:Thinktwice comic story images. Or if you have something from The Mind of Evil, please ensure it gets into Category:The Mind of Evil TV story images.

These images by story categories are, of course, in addition to any other categories which may be appropriate, such as ones from Images by character, Images by object, or images by species.

Images by story will continue to grow over the coming weeks to include other media, but comics and TV were deemed the highest priority, since the vast majority of images will come from these two visual media.

Also, if you haven't noticed it for now, TV story pages now all have a little tab at the top left labelled "images". Clicking it takes you to the relevant category, so that you can quickly view our repository of images from that particular story All stories will eventually have this sort of link. Longer term, individual charactes might also have such a link.

User:99.116.249.117[[edit source]]

In May 2011 I edited the Nyder page to remove what I thought was some sort of fan fiction user "99.116.249.117" had mistakenly added. However having just looked at some equally baseless contributions to entries such as Kate Yates and Thalek I now think 9.116.249.117 was a vandal. Zerinza talk to me 18:01, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!

Hi. Terribly sorry, I just saw that you and another two users have posted a notice about my misusing the categories system. I've read the site rules and I'm pretty sure I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience, and sorry for not noticing your post on my talk page. Thanks for clearing up my mistakes. User:TheAnonJade

Page: Virtor[[edit source]]

Hey there. I saw you deleted my recent page before I'd added information. I was midway through editing it; it's just that creating content on the page creation is cumbersome on my mobile device. I'd appreciate it if you'd give me a few minutes to write the information this time round. Thanks. User:TheAnonJade 16:32, 05/09/14.

Hi again. I'm sorry for the trouble. I can't view the full edit page on my device, so I have no idea why the article is empty once I complete the edit. I can look at it at home if you're willing to wait, or if not could you take a look at Virtor and see what mistake I've made. I've put the information in there somewhere, but it's not showing at all when I publish. Sorry, I'm not used to editing via my phone and I won't do so in the future. Sorry and thanks. User:TheAnonJade 16:46, 05/09/14.

Thanks very much. It's turned out to be a nightmare. As I'm idle, I'll carry on with a couple of minor edits if I spot anything, but I definitely won't be doing anything complicated on my mobile in future. Thanks again. User:TheAnonJade 16:55, 05/09/14.

Howdy :)[[edit source]]

Heya :) Glad to see you back again :) Hope all has been well with you :)

Teeny weeny message about Cloister Bell[[edit source]]

Hey there, I'm headling offline now but I've noticed that some unnamed user had edited the Cloister Bell page. So out of everyone's interests, I tidied it up. It seemed s/he didn't understand I was helping and reversed it again. I just tidied it up again but if you could keep an eye out so that he doesn't feel the need to leave trails of terrible English on more pages, it'd be appreciated.

If I remember tomorrow, I'll try to clean up that page since it does have quite a lot of bullet points haha.

Thanks mate,

Thanks for creating this page. I'm working sporadically on the Wanted Pages, and it's nice to see one of the biggies (with connecting links, that is) created. Cheers!  :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 16:39, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Fan fiction[[edit source]]

Eh, hello there. I have a proposal for you and the wiki here! I have just gained control over a DW fan fiction sight and would like to know if you'd like to start a partnership with me and the wiki, perhaps you could mention us on the home page saying "please do not upload fan fiction here, go to -here- instead. What do you think? Would you like to chat about it? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bloxxasourus (talk • contribs) .

Alright, that's fine! The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bloxxasourus (talk • contribs) .

Welcome[[edit source]]

What a brilliant welcome page to the wiki! Thank you for having everything laid out - that truly helps. And hooray for British English! I realise that some may think it's just faff, but I think it adds colour to the site!Maskatron 03:33, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Gaffabeque vs Gaffbeque[[edit source]]

Hi there. I just wanted to bring something to your attentions. There are currently two pages about the same thing- Gaffbeque and Gaffabeque (regarding the foodstuff mentioned in Bad Wolf).

In the episode, as you'll of course know, it's pronounced "Gaff-a-beque" rather than "Gaff-beque". Is it possible to merge the two pages under the name "Gaffabeque" and use the information on that page since it's more lengthy. Also, we'd need to change the link on the page Lucifer.

Sorry to intrude on your busy patrolling but it's been doing my head in and I don't want to break any rules by merging pages... I don't even know how to do it.

Thanks, TheFartyDoctor Talk 12:33, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! I'm sure one day I'll learn hehe. TheFartyDoctor Talk 12:44, October 30, 2014 (UTC)
Understood! TheFartyDoctor Talk 12:49, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Confused[[edit source]]

I'm a bit confused that your removing the fact that Missy is the Master. I originally thought you were a Vandal but I can see your a Admin. So I'm a bit confused unless you have some sort of rule about it then I apologize as I did not know. Lewody1 21:20, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Ahh. Thanks for telling me. Lewody1 21:42, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Transit and Mechanic[[edit source]]

Hi Skittles the hog,

My source for the uncredited service mechanic actors was The Doctor Who Production Guide Volume Three: Cast and Crew by David Brunt and Andrew Pixley, published by the Doctor Who Appreciation Society in April 1998. I hope this helps. I'd also like to say thank you for your contributions to the page, as these have greatly improved it.

On the subject of Ford Transit, I just thought I'd let you know that I accept and respect your decision to delete this page; admins — or is it caretakers now? — know best! I'll just write it off to experience. I'd also like to apologize for my attempts to counter the point on Talk:Ford Transit; this was the first time I had ever done such a thing, and I'm afraid I failed miserably in doing so — just as I did on Talk:Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

If only I'd called the 'Ford Transit' page 'Pickup truck' instead. It would probably have been less bother...

I've printed myself off a copy of Tardis:Valid sources and will keep it close by when creating pages in the future. I hope my creation of 'Ford Transit' didn't cause too much inconvenience.

I await your reply with great interest. -- Freddie R. Aldous 17:06, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Categories[[edit source]]

I see your problem. I will add a more apt description to "Human hosts" and "Individual hosts". I will also remove those two previously mentioned categories. Thanks. 66 Seconds 16:26, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

Wanted Pages question[[edit source]]

I am seeking advice. Or advise.  :)

I'm working through the WantedPages, and there are some that are, I believe, not really wanted. Like User blog:Magic Afro, BFBS and Template:Str index/logic. I'm not linking them, as that would make the problem worse. Might it be possible to delink them on the pages they are at? Which are often talk pages and Howling forums. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers! ----Ebyabe (talk) 02:29, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

Main Dalek Image[[edit source]]

Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to pitch into Talk:Dalek#New Infobox suggestion. You had some good notes on a previous chat of the same kind (although they were not taken well by the user). OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:16, September 29, 2015 (UTC)

Invite to forum[[edit source]]

Hey Skittles! I wanted to stop by and invite you to be a part of Thread:180396, where we're currently discussing if the DWU prefix does or does not well-represent our invalid policy. We've got some good input, but barely anything from more than one admin. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:56, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Suggested rename/redirect[[edit source]]

Am I able to suggest a rename for the page Kpachoдap? It should be changed to Краснодар in order for it to be correct. Also, should we set up a redirect from Krasnodar to here, as it's a real town? I just need to know so I can start the Welsh translation of the page and link them up.

Just suggestions hehe. Thanks for your time. TheFartyDoctor Talk 19:50, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

The Company[[edit source]]

It was actually named in Robophobia (audio story) and already has an article: Kaldor City Company. JagoAndLitefoot 01:05, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Well, the information in the article was incomplete, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. And it's partly my fault since I had forgotten to link to it from the Robots of Death article when I created the page. JagoAndLitefoot 01:17, November 1, 2015 (UTC)
Oh wait, I didn't actually create it, I just expanded it with more info from Kaldor City and Robophobia. :) JagoAndLitefoot 01:19, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

I've listened to all the Kaldor City stories and Robophobia. You are quite correct. Robots are used on Kaldor for all kinds of tasks, not just on sandminers. JagoAndLitefoot 01:30, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Skittles. Can you put 'The Dogs of War' cover onto its page. I uploaded the image last night, but can't work out how to put it in the right place. Thanks. andy frankham-allenThe preceding unsigned comment was added by AndyFA (talk • contribs) .

not gonna sp3end a lot of time on this -- just visited the Tardis Robin Hood page in passing and it crashed my IE 10 on Windows 7 so far five times -- if anybody is serious about providing info for all, this should be looked into -- the basic page frame has been SyFy's Expanse, many other video ads to choose from (for debug / blame) --76.18.94.220talk to me 00:35, December 11, 2015 (UTC)

Moving pages[[edit source]]

Since we seem to be collaborating on The Silver Turk (audio story), I've noticed you've moved a page. I remember some admin mentioning that there are some special non-trivial actions that need to be performed when doing it. So I'm always afraid to do moves myself. What's the procedure exactly? Thanks in advance.

Meanwhile, I will continue edition. My primary goal is to fix factual mistakes.Amorkuz 17:53, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Hi Skittles, I have sort of made a mistake by adding Non-DWU Doctors category page to an in-universe one, as I don't know how to get rid of catergories I though it ought to tell you, sorry for the inconvenience. DENCH-and-PALMER 13:35, December 26, 2015 (UTC)DENCH-and-PALMER
