| == T:NPA ==
| | Hello, User:Shambala108. |
| Hi Shambala, I saw your recent post in [[Thread:260549]] and noticed it seems to contain an inaccuracy. You said “on this wiki, it is up to the admins to decide matters of ... personal attacks”, whereas the actual policy on [[T:NPA]] specifies that “If you are personally attacked, you should ask the attacker to stop and note this policy”, and it is only if the attacks continue that you should “contact an Administrator and clearly state the problem” so that “the admin will evaluate the situation and attempt to mediate the issue.” Unless I’m severely misunderstanding the letter of the law, this means that personal attacks are not decided by the admins but by the attacked person, and it is only at their request that admins should get involved. This is standard policy across many wikis.

| I hope you’re well! – [[User:NateBumber|<span title="User:NateBumber">N8</span>]] ([[User_talk:NateBumber|<span title="Leave me a note">☎</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/NateBumber|<span title="Spy on my edits">👁️</span>]]) 17:36, January 9, 2020 (UTC) | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| : When you get the chance, could you let me know if my reading of this is correct? If this is a place where the policy-as-written is out-of-date or wrong, it would be very useful to get it clarified. – [[User:NateBumber|<span title="User:NateBumber">N8</span>]] ([[User_talk:NateBumber|<span title="Leave me a note">☎</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/NateBumber|<span title="Spy on my edits">👁️</span>]]) 15:43, January 11, 2020 (UTC)
| | 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]. |

| Thank you for the clarification! In answer to your "Hopefully," if I had to pick between Universe A where admins protect me from being accused of violating T:NPA, and Universe B where my statements of personal offense are respected by all parties regardless of admin approval, I would vastly better prefer Universe B. But it seems that the policy maintains a tidy balance between the two.

| | 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. |

| == Discussion policy == | | == Re:Request for help == |
| Hi there. I must confess your post on [[Thread:260549]] citing [[Tardis:Discussion policy]] to me left me a bit confused. I might just be being an idiot but I'm honestly not sure how to stay on-topic to the thread by addressing [[User:Amorkuz]]'s concerns when both of his most recent posts seem to be in direct violation of [[Tardis:Spoiler policy]] which is in turn cited at T:DISCUSS. It would be much appreciated if you could enlighten me as there are clearly things I do not know yet. Pleasure speaking to you as always and thanks in advance. --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:20, January 11, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| : I can appreciate the sentiment of your reason for removing my last comment but I wonder if it was helpful to Amorkuz. If Amorkuz didn't see SOTO's message, as I assumed since SOTO's was the immediately preceding post, then I feel like I was in fact helping Amorkuz so he could edit or remove his response addressing ''Eloquence''. As an admin, would you mind posting a message to that effect to clear up any confusion?

|
| ==Plot summaries vs. character biographies==
| | 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. |
| Considering the thread was sparked by your own post in the "''To-do list''" on the Forums, I invite you to please weigh in at [[Thread:264489]] whenever you find the time. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:12, January 13, 2020 (UTC)

| == 1.3 HTML tidying ==
| | I'm unsure on a few of the cited issues by Banana, but can see how they may find some things vexatious. |
|
| |
|
| Hi
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| Tried posting the link below on facebook as a friend gad mentioned watching Carnival of Monsters. But comes up with a 404 error. Suspect it might be the exclamation mark within the URL.
| | 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) |

| The issue is resolved now, but at the time it wasn't displaying any variables, just the name itself. It seems to have had something to do with the spaces, which might have been non-breaking spaces (or something similar), that MediaWiki just won't recognise. I replaced the spaces between the variable names and the equal signs manually [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Vanishing_Tales_of_the_City_(novel)?diff=2835232&oldid=2835231 in this edit], and all the information popped up again.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 05:24, January 19, 2020 (UTC)

| ==Gereld/Gerard Carey==
| |
| | |
| Hi Shambala, just wanted to direct your attention to two pages which I think need sorting. I was going to put a message on the 'talk page', but I thought it would be quicker to write hear so it has your attention.
| |
| | |
| In the Torchwood TV story [[Meat (TV story)|Meat]], there is character named [[Greg (Meat)|Greg]] who is portrayed by an actor credited by [[Gereld Carey]]. In [[From Out of the Rain (TV story)|From Out of the Rain]], there is a character named Greg who is portrayed by an actor credited by [[Gerard Carey]].
| |
| | |
| After having done some research, 'Meat' actually credits the actor as 'Gerard Carey' and not 'Gereld Carey'. Also, there was no such character named 'Greg' in 'From Out of the Rain', and is probably just a credits mistake.
| |
| | |
| I was just wondering if we would be able to delete the page known as [[Gereld Carey]] (since this name is never used in any credit), change the role on the 'Gerard Carey' page, and put a note in the page for 'From Out of the Rain' which states that the character has been 'double-credited'. Sorry if this is all really confusing - it took me a few moments to establish what was going on! I would have done this all myself, but wanted to confirm with you first. I am more than happy to make the changes, but just wanted your opinion first. Thanks again! <span style="border:5px ridge #FADB00;background-color:#FADT00;"> [[User:Layton4|<span style="color:red">'''Lay'''</span>]][[User Talk:Layton4|<span style="color:green">'''ton'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Layton4|<span style="color:blue">'''4'''</span>]] - 22:09, 28/1/2020</span>

| Hello, | | Hello, |
|
| |
|
| I have made a box to link to other wiki's of popular tv series. Would you like to place it on your main page so we can direct people to each others wiki's?
| | 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? |

| Based on the above conversation, their edit histories, and [[User talk:213.123.3.40]], I think it's quite likely that [[Special:Contributions/213.123.3.40|213.123.3.40]] (now banned) is the same user as [[Special:Contributions/86.12.165.34|86.12.165.34]], who was temporarily banned in 2018 but is now still unbanned. – [[User:NateBumber|<span title="User:NateBumber">N8</span>]] ([[User_talk:NateBumber|<span title="Leave me a note">☎</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/NateBumber|<span title="Spy on my edits">👁️</span>]]) 20:19, February 5, 2020 (UTC)

| [[User:Dissident Prodigy]] appears to be a sock puppet [[User:Unbanned reality talk]]. The former was created suspiciously quickly after the latter was banned, the names are vaguely similar, and the former’s only contributions are removing messages insulting the latter from his talk page (including that one message about mentioning logical fallacies by name being ‘reddit-tier arguing’, which, if you look at the history, the latter kept trying to remove - obviously it hit too close to home), as well as a supsicious cryptic comment about the ‘shoe [being] on the other foot’ on this very talk page. Probably something you should look into. [[Special:Contributions/82.132.220.11|82.132.220.11]]<sup>[[User talk:82.132.220.11#top|talk to me]]</sup> 13:03, February 6, 2020 (UTC)

| |
| Hey there. Can you point me in the direction of the policy you cited at [[Talk:The Doctor in popular culture and mythology]]? I remember reading it but after a quick look I was unable to find it. Thanks in advance for the help, --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:59, February 14, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| : Thanks for that. As the "one image per section" rule is actually a guideline would you be opposed to me re-adding a few images to some of the sections; perhaps three or four in [[The Doctor in popular culture and mythology#As a real person|As a real person]] and one in [[The Doctor in popular culture and mythology#Reputation as a renegade|Reputation as a renegade]]? One reason for this is wall-of-text syndrome. Certainly in the first example, you go a long time without anything but paragraphs of text.
| |
| | |
| : Secondly, and more crucially I think, the article is unique at this stage in its existence. Although I plan to create more, the type of article [[The Doctor in popular culture and mythology]] tries to be is one of a kind. It is not like previously cited examples like [[the Master]] or Doctor pages where the vast amount of images stems from massive biographies. Instead, the article focuses in on the impact of [[the Doctor]] on the world, mostly, but not limited to their varied depiction in ''visual'' media. I believe images such as [[:File:Doctor Ten at Trafalgar Square.jpg]] and [[:File:Nine waves.jpg]] are '''vital''' to understanding the content of the article, that being the various portrayals of the Doctor within the DWU. Sure, we as wiki editors/readers know the fugitive Tenth Doctor in [[:File:Newsreader sound of drums.jpg]] is the same as the Olympic Torch bearer in [[:File:Tenth Doctor main14.jpg]] but from an in-universe perspective it wouldn't be outrageous to think these two men just looked alike. In short, I feel ''so much'' is lost by removing all of these images and it would be doing the wiki and its readers a disservice to pick just one and not give comparisons to these portrayals.

| On the page A Stitch In Time (CC Story)), it seems the editor seemingly misplaced a picture with a Comic Cover of Episode 2. I don’t think this is vandalism. It’s probably just a mistake by the editor of the article.[[File:MisplacementAStitchInTime.jpeg|thumb]]

| I would respectfully disagree that those redirects are "unlikely to be searched for". We can't have the pages be named [[Iphigenia (Beige Planet Mars)]] and [[Forty-second Doctor]], because those identities were given off-page in reference material; but these identities are clearly the main reason a fan would want to check out the pages. There exist rumors of Parkin's deleted 42nd Doctor from ''The Dying Days'' at least, and it is very easy to picture someone typing "Forty-second Doctor" in the search bar, finding nothing, and assuming we have no record of this character all on the Wiki, when in fact we do, just under the name of [[Old man (Beige Planet Mars)]] because the character's name hasn't been confirmed in a valid source. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:15, March 15, 2020 (UTC)

| Hi there, I hope you are well during these uncertain times. Today I discovered that the wiki has a policy called [[T:NO TITLE]] which mandates what to do when part of a series does not have a clear title. It dictates that stories should be given an exact acronym of their overall series name.

| | |
| I come to you because I remembered a [[Thread:213849|forum thread we had on what to call a multitude of untitled stories]] a while back. On that occasion you ruled that it was a case-by-case basis and should be brought to the talk pages of the stories individually. If you have time I would greatly appreciate if you took a look at [[Thread:213849#9]] which suggests a bunch of renames, the vast majority of which would seemingly conform to this policy.

| == DWBIT in ''Tardis:Valid sources'' ==
| |
| Uh… Shambala, your point that we should take into account the whole of [[Tardis:Valid sources]] when determining validity is well-taken, but the specific ''Battles in Time'' situation seems counterintuitive to me, if the part of the policy you're citing to close the debate is literally "[[Tardis:Valid sources]] specifically mentions ''Battles in Time'' as being invalid". Obviously, if an inclusion debate is reopened about something thus far considered invalid, then it's part of current policy that the thing is invalid.
| |
| | |
| Panopticon threads are allowed to ''change'' policy if consensus is reached that it should be changed, are they not? This seems like a very obvious instance that this was the case. OP's point was clearly that, whether or not that information had ended up referenced in the very text of [[Tardis:Valid sources]], there had been an error in the original handling of the ''DWBIT'' stories, in that they had mistakenly been assumed to fail Rule 1 and to be akin to information on the packaging of merchandise, which they were ''not''. They were surely mentioned on T:VS as invalid as ''examples'' of thusly failing Rule 1, not as part of some weird, separate, ''BIT''-specific exception? --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 11:16, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

| | |
| 2. Said that (Jesus Christ) you never read the original post or subsequent posts due to “too many colors, muh brain hurty”,
| |
| | |
| 3. Believed that the “sequel stories to invalid whatsits” thread had already been figured out and used that to pounce at the opportunity to be a bad admin, and
| |
| | |
| 4. Admitted that “validity”… is just rebranded “canon”? I know you always thought of it as “what mattered” rather than “what counted” but I never thought you’d outright say it!

| : I mean, I don't want to address the rest of this comment. But if you're closing the thread by saying "we take author/publisher comments about their own work as part of determining whether a work passes rule #4", citing a thread and some quotes in that thread, but fail to address how in the thread you're actually closing it attempts to rebut these interpretations of the quotes, I mean, that's just incredibly damning. Literally nobody even attempted to rebut these new readings of the quotes in the thread. It is impossible, in principle, to consider the thread closed adequately without addressing the attempt at a reinterpretation. I'm going to assume charitably that you just failed to read the section titled "Why this story passes Rule 4", for understandable concerns about various shades of text on various backgrounds. I get it. But this section directly addresses the quotes you suggested people read, and explains how they aren't actually disqualifying statements.
| |
| : I understand why you might not have, but given that these things actually were addressed, you should either reopen the thread (if possible) and respond, allowing someone else to close it when discussion moves to its conclusion, respond in how you close the argument, explaining why this reinterpretation is false, or agree and change the validity of DCTT.

| I don't really want to get involved in the above argument, but I'm not sure where else to post comments regarding the discussion's closure (I accidentally commented on the discussion thread not realising it has been closed). Anyway, I don't think it's fair to say "even back in 2012 the ideas of validity were there, even though the terminology hadn't been finalized yet".
| |
| | |
| The whole reason that the work was deemed invalid was because the Doctor's death didn't line up with the Eight Doctor's survival in other media. That is very clearly regarding canon of the show, rather than validity in its own right. How can this work be considered invalid because it features a Doctor dying when another source portrays him as surviving? Its exactly the same as the recent [[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)]] which shows the Eighth Doctor regenerating directly into the Ninth instead of the more universally accepted War Doctor.

| == About that DCtT closure ==
| |
| Hello! I've followed the ''DCtT'' thread, as you know from my moderate participation in it. While you were very kind to add a second closing post to it to attempt to address people's criticisms, I'm afraid that it's rather confused the issue. As I attempted to point out in my perhaps-flawed summary, ''At Childhood's End'' was the procedurally-required "new evidence" that meant the thread was not breaking T:BOUND; but it was ''not'' the main gist of the new argument for validity.
| |
| | |
| The real argument was that the quote used in the original debate to claim that the author/publisher of ''[[Death Comes to Time (webcast)|Death Comes to Time]]'' didn't mean for it to take place in the DWU had been misinterpreted. They'd said "maybe it's canon, maybe it's not".
| |
| {{quote|[I]f you want to accept it as canon, you can. or not. Whatever you prefer.|Nev Fountain}} Which, for one thing, is open-ended in a way that ''does'' allow for it to be "canon", so why shouldn't we as a Wiki err on the side of validity, if the author thinks that it's a possible reading and it helps us cover it more sensibly? (And what the references in ''[[At Childhood's End (novel)|At Childhood's End]]'' and other valid sources demonstrate ''is'' that it ''would'' be easier than not for the Wiki to acknowledge ''DCtT'' as valid.)
| |
| | |
| But also and more importantly: the underlying ideas that would come together in [[Tardis:Valid sources]] might already have existed, but at the time of the original debate, the Wiki had yet to acknowledge that ''[[Tardis:Canon policy|canonicity and validity are two different things]]'' (and we only care about the latter). Meaning there is nothing stopping a story from being non-canonical, but DWU. Back when the Wiki threw the word "canon" willy-nilly to mean what we now call "valid", it was understandable for confusion to arise. But now that we don't care about "canon", why should we give a fig about whether an author said that their story was canon or not? What matters is whether they meant for the story to take place in the universe of ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]''.
| |
| | |
| …At the very least, I think that's what [[User:LilPotato]] was getting at. I could be misunderstanding his argument. But whether he or myself came up with it, I think the above argument for why the old decision no longer makes sense is ''pretty damn convincing''.
| |
| | |
| And I'm not saying you don't have a rationale why that pretty damn convincing argument doesn't cut it. But that rationale did not make it into your closing post, amidst all the procedural issues. And I do bear in mind [[Thread:221655]]'s statement that not every point can or will be adressed in a thread closure. But… is it too much to ask that the closing post of an inclusion debate restate a clear, explicit justification for why the story under discussion is ruled invalid?
| |
| | |
| Again, I'm not arguing with your closure here. But I'd like to ''understand'' it. ''How'' can a quote from Nev Fountain saying "this story may or may not be [[Tardis:Canon policy|canon]]" be enough, if we're being honest with the "validity isn't canon" principle, to rule that ''DCtT'' fails Rule 4? And even if a clear-cut "it's ''not'' canon" were somehow proof that a story failed Rule 4, why should the Wiki, when the quote is saying "it ''could'' be canon, or it could ''not'' be", choose to go with "''not''" even though it's doing tangible harm to the Wiki?

| : I'd go a bit further and say that it's impossible in principle to consider the issue adequately dealt with unless the reinterpretation of quotes by [[User:LilPotato]] is addressed. To refer us to a thread that was directly rebutted in the original post beggars belief. While [[Thread:221655]] does note that "a closer [...] cannot [...] address every single point that's ever brought up in a thread", and it's right to do so, it's fair to expect the closing post to address one of the main thrusts of debate. And, moreover, it ''did'' address it. It just did so in a way that was inadequate, as it failed to actually address the contents of the thread, and referred people to a post that was, within the context of the discussion, effectively refuted, without any defense for that original post.
| |
| | |
| : I think it's clear that the proper response is to reopen the thread and attempt to argue for why the original interpretation is correct. As things stand, nobody has been given an opportunity to actually argue the point over whether the original interpretation is correct with someone who thinks so. LilPotato provided at least a moderately compelling argument as to why not, people agreed, and then someone who disagreed told us to read the original thread that was addressed by LilPotato and closed the thread.

As I understand it, your statement that "if [[At Childhood's End (novel)]] is the only "new" evidence proposed, then there is no change in the validity" still stands. By this measure, a new thread on ''Death Comes to Time'' could be opened immediately because that statement is still untrue as I explained above.

You are very kind — but though I do not mean to bedevil Xx-connor-xX, and don't personally believe he has committed any transgression serious enough to warrant any kind of lengthy bad, I would ''also'' like it to be on record that at [[Thread:272784]], Xx-connor-xX accused my good-faith, and structured, attempt to reply to [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]]'s questions about [[canon]] at [[Talk:The Zygon Isolation (webcast)]] of being "a long and ''rambling'' speech".
| |

| Not a dire insult to be sure, but, from where I'm standing, certainly a needless belittling of my person. Combined with the "clueless" comment you rightfully chided Connor for, it ''did'' leave a sore taste in my mouth.

I was wrong to argue against the opening of the thread; but I do wish to set the record straight that I did not, or at least not knowingly, engage in a misplaced talk-page inclusion debate; I did not read Epsilon's post as an inclusion debate at all, and it is not as an inclusion debate that I replied to it.)</small>--[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:27, May 10, 2020 (UTC)

| Hi Shambala, hope you're doing well. I'd like to politely disagree with the deletion of the page [[Genderfluid]]. The term itself isn't an adjective; it's an identity, like [[Time Lord]] and such. But, I will definitely agree the way that I wrote the page suggests it was an adjective, because I hadn't read the story and didn't know how it was defined as such in the DWU. Is there a way we can recreate the page without making the same mistake? Thanks.

| Hi, you appear to have left me a message saying to stop changing Dr Who to the Doctor on the comic strips. I originally wrote an exact plotline for some comic strips using Dr Who because that's how they appeared in the strip. On a couple of my plotlines, someone else changed them from Dr Who to the Doctor. I was happy with either, and as I thought that's what was wanted, decided to change the others I had written up as well.

I intend at some point to present a ''Voice from the Vortex!'' inclusion debate in the forums, but even ''if'' the story is invalid, surely that should be all the more reason to cover "Rosie Taylor" on the ''Behind the scenes'' section of "[[Rose Tyler]]".

It's just blatantly false to say that "None of the arguments for validity were able to get around this fact [that we do not consider discarded stories to be valid]." The repeated argument for validity is that it's a framing device and so not actually a discarded novel, in analogy with [[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)]], which, if you'll note on the [https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries/4acfd237-6eee-47b5-93bd-1c16cd065614 official release] also talks about being a discarded release multiple times.

| | 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. |

| == Thank you for Help/ Still Learning ==
| | 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. |
