| == "No, this is Patrick" (Jr) ==
| | Hey I was wondering if it is allowed for me to move my user page to a different link, then back so get the redrect. Also is it allowed to post here? |
|
| |
|
| Is there any chance that either Patrick is confirmed as "Jr" or "Senior"? I wonder if there's precedence, otherwise, to just label the brother [[Patrick O'Sullivan Jr]] or [[Patrick O'Sullivan, Jr]], for the purposes of disambiguation, even so?
| | The redrect would be Betacoder125 |
|
| |
|
| To answer your question another way, though, there are very few links to [[Patrick O'Sullivan]], so whatever rename situation best satisfies [[T:CHAR NAMES]] and [[T:DAB]] is perfectly feasible. When possible, we try not to dab by first mention (rather than appearance), but of course sometimes there's no other way about it.

| I couldn't help but notice what I did for The Lucy Wilson Mysteries is the same as what is on the page for the Short Trips series. I'm just curious if that should be changed, instead, to a list, followed by a cover gallery.

| == Main Range ==
| |
| | |
| To be clear, do you want them to swap the whole series variable link to just <code><nowiki>[[Main Range]]</nowiki></code>, or do you want the current text ([[Main Range|Big Finish ''Doctor Who'' audio stories]]) to link there? I don't think they mind a bit of exercise. SV7 took time off, and they're ready to get back at it, full throttle (well, half-throttle). If you tell me what the tasks are, I'll get them done whenever I have the free time. There's no pressure just in knowing.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 01:19, February 27, 2019 (UTC)
| |
| :Sorry, I was doing a photoshoot for [[User:SV7|my bot]], who's sporting a new look these days. I'm not 100% sure why, but I mostly see "Main Range" without italics among lists/section headings where all other ranges are italicised. And, of course, yeah, the other hesitation is that the "[[Main Range]]" is not ''the'' primary range of the whole ''Doctor Who'' franchise. Would "[[Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories|Big Finish ''Doctor Who'']] [[Main Range]]" be overdoing it?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 04:53, February 27, 2019 (UTC)
| |
| ::That would be similar to how we currently treat ''Torchwood''. Also, I totally forgot there even ''was'' a series variable for Infobox Magazine. Do you have examples of that parameter being used correctly? Is it "''Doctor Who Magazine'' issues", "DWM issues" or "''Doctor Who Magazine''"? Which do you think works best?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 04:54, February 27, 2019 (UTC)

| == Autor photo ==
| |
| Thank you, OncomingStorm12th, for the edits to my author page - it looks *fantastic*! I'm really excited to have a proper profile on this site.
| |
| | |
| Do you have any idea how to fix the problem with my author photo? It is a formal photo of me, taken by my husband at my request, to which I therefore hold the copyright. I can't figure out which licence I need to choose from the dropdown menu, and every time I upload it, an admin takes it down. I've even tried putting a © Rachel Churcher 2019 statement next to the image, but it seems that this is not good enough. Any advice would be very welcome!

| == Main Range categories ==
| |
| | |
| Honestly, that’s the sort of thing that would affect so many pages that I would be far more comfortable going the forum route with this. "Main Range/2019 audio stories" would be highly irregular, but I don't see why something like "2019 Main Range audio stories" should be off the table. I just think this is the sort of thing that would merit a more public, inclusive discussion.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 00:18, March 17, 2019 (UTC)

| == References policy ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| Hi, you just reverted my edit to The_Ghosts_of_N-Space_(audio_story) and I was curious as to the meaning of your summary. Do you mean that references should have a link to an existing in universe page, such as "The Doctor uses his [[Sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]].", or did you mean a link is required to demonstrate a source for the information.
| |
| | |
| If it is the first case, I have been leaving links out of some of my edits because I am not confident on what is link-worthy and what is not (I'm still a bit new and haven't got to grips with all the nuances), especially when dealing with redlinks. I am just editing pages to add information that I think is relevant and would appreciate any suggestions you may have on what is appropriate to be on this wiki.
| |
| | |
| Thanks for any help,

| == RE: Ranges and series ==
| |
| | |
| My apologies for not getting back to you on this sooner. I see no reason not to give prose stories the same treatment. My one hesitation concerns an issue which does eventually need to be addressed regardless: whether or not we italicise BBC Books and Virgin book series.
| |
| | |
| For the record, both MLA ([https://style.mla.org/trilogy-titles/ here]) and Chicago style ([https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/NoneoftheAbove/faq0020.html here]) say to italicise a book series when it's named for the title of an individual work (book within the series). While Chicago favours roman type in all other cases, MLA wants us to italicise if it's published under that series title as a volume, box set or collection, as well. And Virgin Books themselves ([https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/264454187176165380/523512540945317900/IMG_20181215_144950.jpg here]) use italics for the books but roman type for all their series/range titles, like "the New Adventures" and "the Missing Adventures".
| |
| | |
| Note that both Chicago and MLA agree that radio series should be italicised, and I'd extend that to audio ranges, so there's no problem there. But as a wiki, we're not entirely consistent about whether or not to italicise novel series titles, especially when those titles do not appear on any book covers. And [[Talk:Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures#Data from the novel Oh No It Isn't!|we found out]] The New Adventures was somehow an "imprint"? For the most part, we haven't been italicising these series titles, so the one and only thing that gives me pause is how we deal with that in these variables.
| |
| | |
| My one thought is that maybe, instead of making exceptions for each of these book series, we could have a <code>novel range</code> variable, separate from <code>range</code>? Or maybe making explicit exceptions, as we already do for Main Range etc., is the way to go. Any thoughts?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 03:59, August 4, 2019 (UTC)
| |
| :(There's also the matter of short stories; I think making <code>anthology</code> autolinking, so you just type in the title itself, and separating <code>audio anthology</code> into its own variable would help with having separate <code>anthology number in range</code> and <code>number in anthology</code> variables. They would operate the same way, except that in the case where there is no anthology number in range, like, say, for ''[[The Triple Knife (short story)|The Triple Knife]]'' in ''[[The Legends of Ashildr (anthology)|The Legends of Ashildr]]'', it still gives #3, rather than ''The Legends of Ashildr'' 3 or #1.3.){{User:SOTO/sig}} 03:59, August 4, 2019 (UTC)

| == Cyber-Lieutenant Origins ==
| |
| | |
| Should we just leave its origins as ‘Mondas’ then? Or do we include all the places they’ve come from or simply remove the category altogether? It just seems weird to leave its origins as one location when we know there are lots of Cyber-Lieutenants who have either different or unknown origins.
