| == Re: Question ==
| | 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. |

| Same topic, different user and article: Hi Shambala. I've read the thread on ''not moving pages unless you're an admin'' (now) and the page for the ((rename)) template, which is the one I would and probably should use then, because it *would* be better and more reasonable, to have a family name page under the family name, instead one of many characters with that faamily name, who isn't even the only one where only this name is given (at least he also has the title as honorific with it). The minimum would be a link to a disambig page on the top - where you would habe "Name (family name)" or somesuch as lemma? While I completely understand, that a wiki with so many articles, registered editors and cross references needs rules to work, sometimes they seem a little far from self-explanatory. --[[User:IrasCignavojo|IrasCignavojo]] [[User talk:IrasCignavojo|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:27, November 25, 2015 (UTC)

| My apologies if this is irregular, but as undo edits consist of less than a tenth of my overall edits, I had not realised this was so. My reversion of User:Nahald's edit was entirely a mistake, as I had misunderstood the context. However, I soon located the thread discussing oh policy, and discovered my mistake. I do not always explain my reversion primarily because a large number are simply accidental breaches of policy, addition of extraneous or already detailed information, or deliberate vandalism.

|
| |
|
| ==Question==
| | 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, Shambala!
| |
|
| |
|
| Say, for example, there was a TV story in 1966 and a creature wasn't named until in the 90s, where it was named in a Doctor Who book. But in 2015, it was referred to in a new book with a completely different name. Would we use a more "up-to-date" name? I'm asking you this because on the Thunderbirds Wiki, me and Guyus24 cannot decide whether to name a vehicle article "Construction Vehicle" or "Highway Pathfinder". I think the second sounds more like the technical term, whereas the first states the vehicle's purpose. What is the site's policy on article names? [[User:SniperKing1|<font color="B8860B">Sniping is Awesome</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:SniperKing1|<font color="800000">Speak to the Sniper</font>]]</sup> 08:00, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
| | I'm unsure on a few of the cited issues by Banana, but can see how they may find some things vexatious. |
| :The information has been very helpful, Shambala.
| |
|
| |
|
| :So regarding its name, in the story in which the Highway Pathfinder appears in (''[[w:c:thunderbirds:End of the Road|End of the Road]]'') the vehicle is never referred to with a noun/technical term (I checked through the [[w:c:thunderbirds:End of the Road/Transcript|transcript]]). On our wiki, there hasn't yet been a policy for article names. I'm trying to find one from this wiki and adapt it, seeing as how Doctor Who is a big thing, and is likely to have numerous cases similar to the Highway Pathfinder one. So at the moment, we can rule out "story names". If it wasn't named in the story, would names from books or production crew comments take precedence?

| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| ==Admin help==
| | 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) |

| I see you're online so I wondered if I could draw your attention to the page [[Kpachoдap]] which I accidentally mispelt. It was an error on my side as the capital 'H' that I saw on the sign in its lowercase form is 'н' and not 'h'. I'm a linguist who can read most of the Cyrillic alphabet and I should have spotted it straight away. My bad!
| | == My "Who vs elsewhere" polls == |
|
| |
| I've fixed the names on [[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]] but require an admin to rename the page to "Краснодар", which is the correct spelling. Also, as the English transliteration is 'Krasnodar', I wondered whether you could create a redirect page from Krasnodar to Краснодар, in case some very clever individual searches it.

| == I've insulted nobody ==
| | Hello, |
|
| |
|
| I don't appreciate how a lively discussion and the correction of another user's false claims is deemed as ''insulting''. I find it quite offensive that you'd consider it as such. If someone has knowledge that ties up a thread neatly, then it should come to the forefront of a discussion. I'm not a horrible person and you suggesting that I am in any way is ridiculous. I've been an active member of this community and have expanded our Wiki into other languages.
| | 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? |
|
| |
|
| I don't wish the final comment on that thread to be an insinuation of anyone's behaviour. I'd appreciate you talking to me on my talkpage, which is what it's designed for. It's a little childish to leave the comment there and then shut it off so I can't respond to it.

The thread I am referring to is mentioned as follows in the template on the articles's lede section: |
|
| |
|
| How do a ask you to list the correct information for your entry Nollarr (The Girl Who Died)? I am the actor, Murray McArthur, in the picture (red beard with horned helmet). You have the topic still listed as 'Nollarr (The Girl Who Died)" when it should be 'Hasten (The Girl Who Died'). In the episode my character, Hasten, is the one who snaps the sonic sunglasses.

|
| |
|
| == Nollarr (The Girl Who Died) ==
| | 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 ) |
|
| |
|
| Hi Shambala,
| | 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 am the actor, Murray McArthur (playing Hasten), pictured under the topic heading Nollarr (The Girl Who Died'. I have been trying to correct the listing. The topic should be amended to read Hasten (The Girl Who Died). The picture (red beard with horned helmet) is of me (not Simon Lipkin who played Nollarr). My character is also the one who snapped the sonic sunglasses in this episode. Please check Imdb.com to confirm what I look like and my credits.

| Thank you
| | 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. |

|
| Murray
| | 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've been working recently on adding speedy renames to incorrectly and non-dabbed home video releases, but hadn't gotten around to tackling the link changes because there's so many of them and it's a pretty daunting task, so [[User:Mentuhotep I]] did an ''impressive'' amount of work for that story alone.

| == Noteworthy timeline information ==
| |
| | |
| Dear [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]],
| |
| | |
| I was following [[User:PicassoAndPringles|P&P]]'s guidelines on which timeline information is certain enough and noteworthy enough as defined in that old discussion. To quote from her explanation: '''To me, the only situations where timeline placement is "certain enough and noteworthy enough" is when [...] or there is out-of-universe information (the inside cover of The Hyperion Empire says it is between Last Christmas and Series 9).'''
| |
| | |
| And the part of that old decision (which, incidentally, you had dissented on) that I quoted to her on her Talk page was:'''If the story's timeline is actually certain enough and noteworthy enough, then mention of it will be made in the lead or story notes section.'''
| |
| | |
| So, based on a rule and an explanation of this rule by a soon-to-be admin, I provided links to such out-of-universe information from Big Finish "in the lead". Moreover, in the case of ''[[Blood of the Daleks (audio story)|[Blood of the Daleks]]'', the timeline information has already been there before my edit and remained there after your reversal. All I've added was a set-in-stone confirmation from Big Finish.
| |
| | |
| Perhaps, we could all three discuss the definition of "certain enough and noteworthy enough" again?[[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 07:58, October 28, 2015 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :I'm glad we both agree that the current policy should be followed, namely that '''If the story's timeline is actually certain enough and noteworthy enough, then mention of it will be made in the lead or [...].''' I did not violate this policy by posting in the lead section. It is merely the definition of "certain enough and noteworthy enough" that is, as you say, nuanced.
| |
| | |
| :Thank you for explaining that a statement from a company producing a media on where this media falls is not considered noteworthy by all admins. That takes care of "Here There Be Monsters."
| |
| | |
| : As I mentioned, in ''[[Blood of the Daleks (audio story)|Blood of the Daleks]]'' the timeline information is still present (not added by me). Since you consider this to be fine, I will then base my future edits on this case (among others).
| |
| | |
| : And based on this example, I would like to add back the placement of ''[[Quinnis (audio story)|Quinnis]]''. The situation there is very simple: in the introduction Susan starts discussing how big of an effect the meeting with the Doctor had on Alex. And after some time starts recounting the adventure on Quinnis. Without the knowledge of ''[[An Earthly Child (audio story)]]'' it is absolutely unclear who Alex is. He is a character introduced by Big Finish and not present on TV. But he is introduced in a different Big Finish range, so it is absolutely impossible to guess that ''An Earthly Child'' is relevant (as a previous story in the same range would be by default or as the TV series is by default). Moreover, Big Finish created a short arc of stories that are interconnected, span several ranges, and have to be listened to in a particular order: ''An Earthly Child'' - ''Quinnis'' - ''[[Relative Dimensions (audio story)]]''. So my question is: is this information noteworthy enough? I would like to know your opinion on this subtle matter.[[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:04, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

| Dear Shambala108,
| |
| | |
| I've created a category with a somewhat unwieldy name [[:Category:Post-2005 regular Doctor Who cast reprising their roles at Big Finish]] and only then did I realize that the word "regular" should not really be there: some of the actors were regular cast of Torchwood but not regular on Doctor Who. So far there are only 3 actors that should be added to this category, so it's good to start the list now before it's become too long, which it will become pretty soon. I assume that categories are vetted by admins anyways. But in this case, there is also a need to change the name, which I don't seem to be able to do myself after creating the category. Sorry for causing you extra work.

| == Images: contradicting instructions ==
| |
| | |
| Okay, this means that there are two places in the policies that contradict each other. And it may be good to add the resolution of this contradiction to the thread you pointed me to.
| |
| | |
| '''Instruction 1.''' "Your pictures must be a minimum of 250px wide, but it would be better if they were at least 450px. Why 450px? It'll help "future proof" us, as the site includes more and more responsive design. With a 450px width item, no or very limited pixellation will occur as the user changes her browser width. Note that this aspect of responsive design may or may not be active at the time you read this. See Help:Darwin for more." (From section ''Widths'' of [[Tardis:Guide to images]].)
| |
| | |
| '''Instruction 2.''' "Remember that your image is most often going to be viewed at a size no greater than 250px in width. Therefore, it is a waste of bandwidth to upload a picture which is more than 3 times that width. Likewise, files which are bigger than 100kb can cause people with slow internet connections to have slower page loads. Consequently, you should try to keep your images to no more than about 800px wide and 100kb in size. There may be occasional exceptions to this guideline, as with collages made of multiple pictures. You must balance the need for a clear image against the need for a fast-loading image." (From section ''Rules Checklist'' of [[Tardis:Image use policy]])
| |
| | |
| I was not able to compress a 450x450 image to below 100k size. So I cannot fulfill both requirements simultaneously. Now personally I don't believe there are still people for whom 250k creates a problem. But this is a matter of policy. So perhaps it would be good to clarify it not only for me but for everyone or, if it is possible, to post instructions how to decrease the size of a 450x450 image to an acceptable size. I would appreciate if you could inform me how this policy conflict is resolved as the resolution may be posted to a page I do not track.[[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:12, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

| Back in September you [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Mewiet#Appearances answered a question for me that said], " CzechOut's definition (All characters appearing in '''only one story are "guests") stresses character rather than actor''', so I would think that even if a character is played by more than one actor, he is still considered recurring based on appearances in more than one story." I've since noticed that some characters have appeared in multiple stories like prose or comics, but have only appeared once in a medium where they are played by an actor and are thus listed under guest instead of recurring. Since the definition is more than one story and character is stressed over actor, should those appearances be moved to recurring because the character is recurring?

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.
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.
