| == Greetings == | | Sorry to disturb you with this, but I felt you needed to be informed of this edit [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Star_Beast_(TV_story)?diff=3662903&oldid=3662898 here], where, even after I informed them on what you once told me about how featuring is to only include recurring characters to prevent overcrowding, [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]] still readded a single episode character to the section, essentially because they were pivotal to the plot, and then justified it by saying that an admin's word is not policy and can be ignored (at least by my reading of their edit summery). And why the character in question, [[Rose Noble]], had showed up in a short story, they have ignored my explanation that the short story doesn't make her a recurring character due to it's nature as a prelude to the episode and my request for a few weeks of patience to see if she returns. |
| Hi, I am a huge fan of Buddhist philosophy; just stopping by, because I admire your name. Great choice, man (or girl). My name is Dr. Worm. Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm. I'm interested in things. I'm not a real doctor, but I am a real worm; I am an actual worm. I live like a worm. I like to play the drums. I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism, you know. It's great to meat such a fantastic user like you. You're doing...fantastic!

| | I've actually been meaning to message you about them and their decorum for some time, but this blatant disregard towards your words has pushed me into action now. For the past few months, their edit summaries have included [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Fifteenth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3660630 treating arguments against their edits as attacks on the merit of their opinion], [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Theory:Timeline_-_Fourteenth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3659912 reverted edits based on actions not yet taken], [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Destination:_Skaro_(TV_story)?diff=prev&oldid=3659364 put "More to Added" on fully released articles instead of contributing themselves], [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Destination:_Skaro_(TV_story)?diff=prev&oldid=3656646 indulge in rude wording] [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Destination:_Skaro_(TV_story)?diff=prev&oldid=3656310 on multiple occasions] ([https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Solitract?diff=prev&oldid=3641225 even using the name of the Lord in vain]), and engaged in unneeded hostilities [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Fourteenth_Doctor on talk pages]. |

| == Questions from Doctor other ==
| | I was hoping to ask if you could have a word with them, if it's not to much trouble, to inform them on proper Wiki etiquette towards other editors, and to avoid getting to personal in their edit summaries, and to remind them of why the featuring section on story pages is just for recurring characters. |

| | I've looked through your cited page above, and looked over the linked examples. |
|
| |
|
| == Artificial Intelligence — thanks ==
| | I'm also aware of both editors' edits throughout the past few years, although acknowledge I've not been as active as I had been in the past. |
|
| |
|
| Hey, thanks for finishing up all those dates in ''[[Artificial Intelligence (short story)|Artificial Intelligence]]''. It's been on my to-do list for ages. In fairness to me, [[User:SmallerOnTheOutside#Remind me to add date info from...|it's a pretty long to-do list]]. :P
| | I generally come at this from the perspective of 'is there a policy I can point to for a reason for this edit'. Epsilon does cite many of their edits regarding a policy. However the edit summary war is something that cannot continue, it's a nightmare to cite any discussion and it's not what the summaries are for regardless. |
|
| |
|
| Anyway, thanks again. :) --[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|<span title="SmallerOnTheOutside">SOTO</span>]] ([[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|<span title="Give me a shout">☎</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/SmallerOnTheOutside|<span title="My contribs">✍</span>]]\[[Special:Contributions/SV7|<span title="What my bot's been up to" style="font-size:80%">'''♆'''</span>]]) 06:50, February 11, 2014 (UTC)
| | I'm unsure on a few of the cited issues by Banana, but can see how they may find some things vexatious. |
|
| |
|
| == Episode Numberings ==
| | I think all users can have their issues, and while Epsilon has had a few citations against them in the past, there have been extraneous circumstances around those in some regards. |
| Hey, I'm GamingBuddha. I saw that you reverted my edits to the Doctor Who television stories page. Could I get an explanation for why you reverted them? I was simply putting renumbering the episodes how they were a month ago and how they. Numbering the episodes as serials doesn't make much sense at all since they're told in a completely different format. The way they were previously numbered, two-parters were not accounted for, so the serial numbering was off anyways. If the wiki wants to use serial numbering, I believe it should be used alongside the episode numbers. Also, the episode numberings had been in place for over two years. If the wiki's going to change that, there should be some sort of consensus over it.

|
| | We've not had a proper forum to engage new policies for in some time, and that's where rulings should come into play. Citing a reason for an edit especially something which might result in an edit war over inclusion of a character (or not) should be backed up by a talk page decision, forum or policy. Citing the word of an admin while it might seem like the 'voice of the flying spaghetti monster' in terms of resolving or justifying an edit, however it is better to be citing a policy or discussion. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 01:49, 30 November 2023 (UTC) |

|
| Sorry, I just saw your message on my talk page. How is it a spoiler to mention that series 8 exists? Wouldn't the spoiler policy only apply for story content? We know from The Time of the Doctor that Capaldi is the new Doctor. Since it's an episode page, it seems very relevant to mention when the next episode will be airing.
| | == [[AudioGO]] == |
|
| |
|
| I understand that it was a mod who made that edit, but like I said, the older numbering was there for over two years. The protocol on wikis for disagreements on content is to keep the older version while discussion occurs. The change is then made after a consensus has been reached.

|
| |
|
| The Cult of the Black Sun was a cult created by Faction Paradox. (PROSE: Interference - Book One) and The Order of the Black Sun was a group that waged a time war against the Time Lords. (COMIC: 4-D War, Black Sun Rising)
| | As you can see though, this link to said thread is red, hence doesn't take me anywhere when I click it. |

| | Per some users (anonymous editors) removing it from the page, I began to do some digging as to the thread itself, in preparation for setting myself on the task of shortening down the Doctor articles myself in time, having already began work doing so with the CS links per my conversation with [[User:Scrooge MacDuck]]. In doing so, I discovered you are the one who added said template onto the Doctor articles back in 2020 (see the following link as an example: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Twelfth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3015495 ) |
|
| |
|
| == Visual Editor ==
| | Therefore, are you able to provide me information as to the thread itself or link me to the archive where it is stored? I don't want to trouble myself shortening all the articles if this thread has been superceded or reverted, hence does not actually have to be acted upon now. In which case, I could take to removing the templates from the Doctor's articles instead. |
|
| |
|
| Yes, question about video editor, I had misspelled visual, and auto-correct changed it. What i meant is that, the editor keeps leaving off the last character I type, which is why my earlier edits were missing letters and spaces. I am unsure of why.{{Unsigned|Masterpwn}}

The work here has really been touch and go, but it's very much live policy, just a real headache to implement. And archived forum threads from the 2012-2020 forums are at [[User:SOTO/Forum Archive]]. (Well, okay, it's a bit more complicated than that, because there are actually some forum archives that can only be accessed through URLs and not that index.

| Right so, earlier today I made an edit, and tried putting a TV story in parenthesis by the edit. They're supposed to be in italics but I struggled with it for a few minutes and it came out only half acceptable which you later fixed for me. Can you tell me how I can make an edit so that you don't need to go around fixing my link messes I tend to leave behind? [[User:Masterpwn|Masterpwn]] [[User talk:Masterpwn|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:19, March 29, 2014 (UTC)
| | Yes, I know what you mean about the loading times. My experience on mobile viewing is atrocious for the long character articles and editing on mobile is near-impossible for me on them because it seems to crash or be so long to respond to the changes, even in source editor. Hence, I near-exclusively edit on desktop these days. I completely understand why editors appear apathetic to the change though; perhaps its the perks of superior internet speed or something, but these long articles do make editing a chore sometimes, necessitating having to edit solely in sections rather than whole page edits. |
|
| |
|
| == Making a page with an image ==
| | From what [[User:Bongolium500]] sent me, it appears there's still the intention for the articles to be trimmed down as the template requests, it just seems no one - or very few editors - are actually bothering to do it, hence the templates remaining after 3 and a bit years of its request being placed. Same could be said for the CS link conversion since a mix of editors still use variants of the old format. If the task to do it is still needed though, and hence isn't going to be a waste of my time, I can begin implementing the change. |
|

|
| I want to create a page, and I don't know how to add a photo to it. I am creating a page for the red linked security camera on the Charlotte Lux page for the episode ''Silence in the Library''.

| ==Eleventh Doctor Companion Template?==
| |
| Hey, sorry to bother, but I was just wondering if you knew why [[Template:Companions of the Eleventh Doctor]] is locked? It looks like it has been locked indefinitely since May 2013. Prior to Eleven's regeneration, I thought maybe it was locked because he was the current incarnation, but now Eleven's is the only locked companion template, including Twelve's. It's in need of several companion updates and I originally inquired about the lock on the talk page back in February, but when I post on the talk page it never shows up in the main activity feed like talk posts usually do. I guess that probably has something to do with the page being locked as well, but that also makes it hard for people to notice that it needs updating if nobody knows that people are requesting updates. Was there a reason it was originally locked and if so, has enough time passed to unlock it at this point?

| == Stretched Images ==
| |
| | |
| I'm finding a lot of images that are stretched out really tall, such as the infobox image for ''[[Cold War (TV story)|Cold War]]''. I'm wondering if there's something up with the site, or if it is just my mobile device misbehaving or something.
| |
| | |
| Also, I am having a problem, and have had it for almost a month now, with the link thing, the box that has all the headings like:
| |
| | |
| :1 - example
| |
| :: 1.1 - example
| |
| :: 1.2 - example, etc.
| |
| | |
| All it has is the little loading things, the bars that get smaller and bigger again! no matter how long I wait. It's annoying for when I want to quickly navigate longer pages and things, again I wonder if my device is at fault or there is something wrong with the site.

| == Questions on fixes you've done to help understand ==
| |
| | |
| Hey, I have a few questions... So, on [[Amy Pond]] you removed the aliases I added. I completely understand the one "The girl who waited" (that was a face palm moment for me). I also did Mrs. Williams. On hindsight that makes sense because her name legally changed when she married Rory, but [[Rory Williams]] has "Mr. Pond" as an alias... would there be an equivalent for Amy, or not?
| |
| | |
| And then my more troubling question. On [[Journalist]] I added Amy. That's all I did. I swear. But you fixed something and said don't fix previous fixes. What happened? What did I do? I didn't think I did anything. I was using the new editing system and used the thing you fixed back to figure out what to put on the one I was doing... Could that have done it? And if so, can I avoid it or should I just go into the revision section to make sure I didn't mess anything up?

| == Quick Question ==
| |
| In an edit conflict, is it the responsibility of the person wanting to implement a new change to start a talk page discussion about it when said change is contested or is it the responsibility of the person reverting their change to let the change stand and start the talk page discussion about it? I thought it was the former, but if it's the latter, please let me know when you get the chance. Thank you, [[User:Mewiet|Mewiet]] [[User talk:Mewiet|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:09, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| As a note, I was under the impression it was the responsibility of the person wanting to implement the new change. ''You'' (Mewiet) were implementing something new, and since I disagreed with it, I reverted it. The "narratively ambiguous" category for companions has been around for ''quite'' a while, as can be seen on [[Template:Companions of the First Doctor]] (established by a user seven months ago), [[Template:Companions of the Sixth Doctor]] (established by the same user seven months ago) and [[Template:Companions of the Ninth Doctor]] (also established by the same user seven months ago). That user was probably inspired by the "narratively ambiguous" category seen at [[Template:Companions of the Eighth Doctor]], which has been in place for ''three years'' at least. Inserting the "narratively ambiguous" category at [[Template:Companions of the Tenth Doctor]] was an attempt at consistency by myself, to clarify the in-universe vagueness regarding the characters' companion status, just as with the other templates. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 21:26, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

| Three years ago CzechOut revamped the Tenth Doctor template on March 24, 2011 and added most of the characters in question to single-adventure category (Astrid, Rosita, Jackson, Christina, Adelaide, Wilf) and the next day added Cassie and Jimmy. I reverted BoldClone's edits that then took them out of that category and into the narratively ambiguous one, despite that characters like Jackson, Christina, Adelaide, Wilf, and Cassie are all marketed as the companions and listed as such on the story pages of this wiki. Hence my belief that BoldClone's edit is the new change. [[User:Mewiet|Mewiet]] [[User talk:Mewiet|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:41, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

| :You rely on marketing for the show as evidence; however, that is distinctly ''out-of-universe'', not in-universe.

Something you might want to look into[[edit source]]
Hello, User:Shambala108.
Sorry to disturb you with this, but I felt you needed to be informed of this edit here, where, even after I informed them on what you once told me about how featuring is to only include recurring characters to prevent overcrowding, User:Epsilon the Eternal still readded a single episode character to the section, essentially because they were pivotal to the plot, and then justified it by saying that an admin's word is not policy and can be ignored (at least by my reading of their edit summery). And why the character in question, Rose Noble, had showed up in a short story, they have ignored my explanation that the short story doesn't make her a recurring character due to it's nature as a prelude to the episode and my request for a few weeks of patience to see if she returns.
I've actually been meaning to message you about them and their decorum for some time, but this blatant disregard towards your words has pushed me into action now. For the past few months, their edit summaries have included treating arguments against their edits as attacks on the merit of their opinion, reverted edits based on actions not yet taken, put "More to Added" on fully released articles instead of contributing themselves, indulge in rude wording on multiple occasions (even using the name of the Lord in vain), and engaged in unneeded hostilities on talk pages.
I was hoping to ask if you could have a word with them, if it's not to much trouble, to inform them on proper Wiki etiquette towards other editors, and to avoid getting to personal in their edit summaries, and to remind them of why the featuring section on story pages is just for recurring characters.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Hi, Shambala. There's the potential for an edit war at Beep the Meep. Wondering if you could help resolve it. Jack "BtR" Saxon ☎ 22:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
I've looked through your cited page above, and looked over the linked examples.
I'm also aware of both editors' edits throughout the past few years, although acknowledge I've not been as active as I had been in the past.
I generally come at this from the perspective of 'is there a policy I can point to for a reason for this edit'. Epsilon does cite many of their edits regarding a policy. However the edit summary war is something that cannot continue, it's a nightmare to cite any discussion and it's not what the summaries are for regardless.
I'm unsure on a few of the cited issues by Banana, but can see how they may find some things vexatious.
I think all users can have their issues, and while Epsilon has had a few citations against them in the past, there have been extraneous circumstances around those in some regards.
We've not had a proper forum to engage new policies for in some time, and that's where rulings should come into play. Citing a reason for an edit especially something which might result in an edit war over inclusion of a character (or not) should be backed up by a talk page decision, forum or policy. Citing the word of an admin while it might seem like the 'voice of the flying spaghetti monster' in terms of resolving or justifying an edit, however it is better to be citing a policy or discussion. --Tangerineduel / talk 01:49, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Trying to locate a missing thread[[edit source]]
Hell there. Hope all is well. I was wondering if you could help me with a query concerning a missing thread I am having trouble locating that is listed on several incarnations of the Doctor's articles. The thread I am referring to is mentioned as follows in the template on the articles's lede section:
As detailed at Thread:264489, character pages should only have AT MOST 2-3 sentences per story, not whole paragraphs of plot detail. This page needs a major cleanup in that area.
As you can see though, this link to said thread is red, hence doesn't take me anywhere when I click it.
Per some users (anonymous editors) removing it from the page, I began to do some digging as to the thread itself, in preparation for setting myself on the task of shortening down the Doctor articles myself in time, having already began work doing so with the CS links per my conversation with User:Scrooge MacDuck. In doing so, I discovered you are the one who added said template onto the Doctor articles back in 2020 (see the following link as an example: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Twelfth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3015495 )
Therefore, are you able to provide me information as to the thread itself or link me to the archive where it is stored? I don't want to trouble myself shortening all the articles if this thread has been superceded or reverted, hence does not actually have to be acted upon now. In which case, I could take to removing the templates from the Doctor's articles instead.

- On this subject Shambala, it does still apply, it's just sorta been rolled into the broader reforms discussed in Forum:Temporary forums/Subpages 2.0, as Bongo alluded to on Snivy's talk. The work here has really been touch and go, but it's very much live policy, just a real headache to implement. And archived forum threads from the 2012-2020 forums are at User:SOTO/Forum Archive. (Well, okay, it's a bit more complicated than that, because there are actually some forum archives that can only be accessed through URLs and not that index. But it's pretty obvious where to look if you pay attention to the URLs.) Najawin ☎ 05:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I know what you mean about the loading times. My experience on mobile viewing is atrocious for the long character articles and editing on mobile is near-impossible for me on them because it seems to crash or be so long to respond to the changes, even in source editor. Hence, I near-exclusively edit on desktop these days. I completely understand why editors appear apathetic to the change though; perhaps its the perks of superior internet speed or something, but these long articles do make editing a chore sometimes, necessitating having to edit solely in sections rather than whole page edits.
From what User:Bongolium500 sent me, it appears there's still the intention for the articles to be trimmed down as the template requests, it just seems no one - or very few editors - are actually bothering to do it, hence the templates remaining after 3 and a bit years of its request being placed. Same could be said for the CS link conversion since a mix of editors still use variants of the old format. If the task to do it is still needed though, and hence isn't going to be a waste of my time, I can begin implementing the change.
Thank you once more for responding to me message! Snivy ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦ 11:13, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
I Sent you a message on the purpose of spacing categories and you didn't get back. You have to give a solid reason as to how that affect a page for me to know the issue. User:Sum41Champ
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. I'm always happy to fix and clean up articles whenever I see any that need it, and I'm glad to be part of such a welcoming wiki community. BlueSupergiant ☎ 19:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
