Hello, User:Shambala108.


== New TARDIS Data Core page: Spaceman (Death to the Daleks) ==
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 Shambala108,
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].


Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I've created a new page for TARDIS Data Core: [[Spaceman (Death to the Daleks)]].
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 have to confess, I wasn't sure what to call the page at first, but eventually decided on the aforementioned title to differentiate between any other 'Spaceman' characters who may appear in ''Doctor Who'' in the future, and also to allow for a 'Spaceman' disambiguation page to be created at some later date. I hope this is all right.
Thank you for your time.

Hi, Shambala. There's the potential for an edit war at [[Beep the Meep]]. Wondering if you could help resolve it. [[User:Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon|Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon]] [[User talk:Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


Hello, sorry to bother you but [[Cashier (Warriors of Kudlak)]] needs a rename. According to the Warriors of Kudlak novelisation, the cashier's name is Pam. It is also in the unnamed humans category, which isn't true! Thank you for your help!

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.


==Toyota Wiki==
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.
Hi, I was curious as to what you thought about being transformed into the [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/6/64/Toyotaownswikia.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141222234038 Toyota Wiki] ?

== reminder at head of talk pages  ==
I'm unsure on a few of the cited issues by Banana, but can see how they may find some things vexatious.


yeah thanks i finally got around to looking at my topic on the talk page of death in heaven "Please note that, per Tardis:Discussion policy, article talk pages are for discussing the editing of articles, not speculation or theories." i wasn't aware of that maybe it would be a good idea to install a reminder at the top of talk pages to inform people about this. its done on the wookiepedia (star wars wiki)can you chat with the other moderators of this wiki to put this idea in--[[User:0551E80Y|0551E80Y]] [[User talk:0551E80Y|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 11:02, December 26, 2014 (UTC)
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.  


== Title sequence videos ==
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)
Hello. May I recommend adding the videos of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[title sequence]] used from 1963-67 and the title sequence used from 1980-81 during the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s final season?

It's alright, I am not familiar with the staff of this wiki, so I clicked the first colored name I saw xD Thanks for your time! I actually got the answer in community central (someone had asked the same question and CzechOut has answered).

== User pages ==
Hello,
Technically, [[T:USER OTHER]] would apply, even to [[User:Tehtumpi/History of the Daleks]]. I wouldn't say the edits appear to be vandalistic, so I'm not sure I'd block the IPs for editing it.  But the user has effectively posted a "no trespassing" sign, so we could protect the page from anon edits, at least.  In fact, I'll go ahead and do that. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 19:25: Tue 06 Jan 2015</span>

==Image requests==
== Trying to locate a missing thread ==
Sorry if posting in the wrong section, I haven't edited here that much. I know ;). But could we have a higher-resolution image of the ''Valiant'' (one preferably somewhere upwards from 1000x500). Thanks! On the note of its anti-missile and anti-nuke technology, maybe it was in an old comic or whatever else. Just so you know, my friend told me that when I asked him if the humans should launch a missile at the ship to kill the Master and said due to its defences it wouldn't work. To (try) and get this information seen on the article, I asked him for the source, but he couldn't remember where he got the information from. He knows his Doctor Who stuff pretty well; I know him personally.

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:

== Lukas ==
''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.''


I redirected [[Lukas]] to [[Luke]] because that page already said in the intro that it listed all characters named Luke, Lukas and Luc. Why did you delete it? [[User:JagoAndLitefoot|JagoAndLitefoot]] [[User talk:JagoAndLitefoot|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:05, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
As you can see though, this link to said thread is red, hence doesn't take me anywhere when I click it.


==Monoids==
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 )
Yes, definitely I think that counts. Although looking through it doesn't actually state who plays Monoid Four, though the other three are listed. So by elimination we can work out who played Four. This should be noted in the behind the scenes section on Four's page. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 06:59, February 5, 2015 (UTC)


=== Decide Your Destiny ===
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.
I'm sorry about messing up your edits. I was in a bit of a rush and didn't really consider the consequences of my actions. However, I removed the "Non-DWU" categories to prevent recursion. The Find Your Fate category is already contained in the Non-DWU stories category. Adding that category to those pages confuses bots and makes them bounce back and forth between categories unnecessarily. At least that's my understanding of what happens.CzechOut can explain it to you better than I can. Therefore, I'm going to remove those redundant categories once again.

: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.) [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)


== Charity stuff ==
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.  
I don't personally care whether charity stuff gets saved or not. It just shouldn't be here. That said, it would be relatively easy to port the charity stuff onto it's own wiki through the use of [[Special:Import]]/[[Special:Export|Export]].  Wouldn't take more than a few hours to set it up.   {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 07:22: Tue 10 Feb 2015</span>


the page on the year 1997 needs to have info about gavin's mother and father mating however is locked for editing (TV: The Empty Planet)
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.

Oops, sorry. I basically thought that as they were students at the school that it could be considered that they were involved in the battle against the [[Family of Blood]], because, as in the case of [[Tim Latimer]], desertion was against the rules. If there's no other way of saying that without using a speculative tone, then perhaps your way is best - not say it at all.

Hello again Shambala. I don't know if I just did something wrong or not. Someone earlier made a change on the Tenth Doctor article that I reverted because I didn't want to see them get blocked. You had said the edit I made before you blocked it recently would stand and that a reason for changing it would have to be given on the talk page, which the editor didn't do. I took that literally and reverted without thinking. If that was wrong, I apologize and will do nothing to start another revert war. Sorry to bother you if this was trivial, but what page should I read in regards to that to keep from making the same mistakes again? Just the ones you recommended?

== New TARDIS Data Core page: The Tyger ==
 
Hi Shambala108,
 
Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I've created the page [[The Tyger]] for TARDIS Data Core.
 
I'd be grateful if you and the other caretakers could take a look when you get a spare moment and make any changes you consider necessary.
 
I've also added an external link to the page so that those who are interested can read, and listen to, the full poem. I hope this is all right.
 
Many thanks. -- [[User:Freddie R. Aldous|Freddie R. Aldous]] [[User talk:Freddie R. Aldous|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:23, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
 
I don't know, if there's a private message function, but I just wanted to ask this one thing:
Do I get to know, against which rules exactly I vioalated with my Landing Lights post?

Hi Shambala108!
 
Am I allowed to put underneath the cast something like this:

* Voice of the Adherents of the Repeated Meme - Silas Carson
* Voice of The Moxx of Balhoon - Silas Carson
* Surgeons - Von Pearce, John Collins
 
As a side note, if I were to create a page for Cassandra's surgeons, what should I call it? [[User:SniperKing1|<font color="B8860B">Sniping is Awesome</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:SniperKing1|<font color="800000">Defeat the Sniper</font>]]</sup> 20:30, April 26, 2015 (UTC)

==Moving Pages==
Fair enough. But if non-admins aren't allowed to move pages, why not just make it so that the system blocks everyone ''but'' admins from moving pages? –[[User:Nahald|Nahald]] [[User talk:Nahald|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:03, May 1, 2015 (UTC)

okay, sorry about that. always make mistakes [[User:CLTwins15]]
 
Besides i have to came up with my Character's half-brother Lorcan's adventures stories on my proflie.
 
==Cast list==
Okay sorry, I'm not used to this "talk page" thing. I usually use the message walls. So, when someone messages via talk pages do two users have the same conversation on two different walls?
 
Also, I didn't mean it invalidated the policy. I just wasn't aware of the policy to begin with and changed the pages to match that format. [[User:Stryzzar|Stryzzar]] ([[User talk:Stryzzar|talk]]) 15:47, May 6, 2015 (UTC)

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, BananaClownMan ☎ 04:34, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Edit war[[edit source]]

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)

Re:Request for help[[edit source]]

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)

My "Who vs elsewhere" polls[[edit source]]

Hello,

Would the admins have any objections if I did some further entries to my "Who vs [insert]" polls? I know the cards are heavily stacked, but still...the Lord loves a tryer, eh?

RE: Sockpuppet[[edit source]]

Hey! Hope all is going well. I don't have CheckUser access myself, since I'm not Fandom staff, but I'll pass it along, since it seems like we have reasonable suspicion!

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Happy holidays.

I just wanted to mention that User:Spongebob456 is probably the easiest Fandom staff member to contact for things like this as he's our wiki rep. He's who I've gone to for a few similar requests in the past (which I've done through his Discord but you could probably do through his talk page). Bongo50 ☎ 18:46, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
And that's exactly who I went to, in fact! But no problem at all.
Spongebob456 confirmed via Discord that all the accounts you linked are, in fact, related. I'm giving indefinite blocks to the new accounts, and I'll leave it to you to decide how long to extend their sentence on whichever is their main account. Cheers

Spacing with categories[[edit source]]

What's the purpose of the space? I See 0 effect that has on the page, Happy New Year. User:Sum41Champ

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.

Looking forward to your reply. Snivy ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦ 17:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

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)

Follow Up[[edit source]]

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
