| == "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.

| == 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)

| 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!

| 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.

| == 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.

| == RE: Time War ==
| |
| | |
| SV7 was only too happy to help. They did want me to point out that the vast majority of the WLH hits were from transclusions of {{tlx|TWS}}, which ''had'' itself been updated, but those changes had not yet manifested on the pages themselves. This will take place on its own over time, or you can manually bring an instance of a template up-to-date by publishing an "edit" on a page (with or without actually making any changes), but far easier by bot just to nudge all those pages at once.
| |
| | |
| Anyway, all links changed, and I made sure to delete an old redirect that was still going to the original Time War 1 title. Oh, and I moved the three categories that bore the anthologies' names. It's very strange to completely change your branding part-way through a series, and I wouldn't want to give the sense of a continuity that just isn't there, so keeping the redirects and pointing this out in the leads, at the very least, is certainly the right way to go. I went ahead and deleted the Time War 3 redirect, though, for the reasons you've outlined yourself.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 05:51, April 4, 2020 (UTC)

| Hi, I recently made a Category entitled Lesbian Individuals, but it got deleted by an admin, who referred me to the naming conventions. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, though. Was the "I" not supposed to be capitalized? The admin who deleted it was Shambala, but I haven't been able to get a reply. Is there a way you could ask '''her''', as another admin? Thanks.

| Gotta agree with that person’s dislike of the [[Timeless Child]], although their methods aren’t the best, to say the least. But what I wanted to say really is I recognise this specific style of vandalism of pageblanking things they don’t like a constant use of the word ‘haggers’, especially in the context of a page move and followed by an inordinate amount of punctuation. Can’t remember the name of their ‘previous incarnation’, so to speak, but we should look into whether this a sock or a copycat.

| == More necessary edits to the Detailed List ==
| |
| Hi! I saw that you made a long-overdue edit to [[Tardis:Valid sources/Detailed list]], changing the ''Unbound''s' status to reflect the conclusion of their inclusion debate. However, another, perhaps even more out-of-date passage remains: novelisations are still described as being "less valid" than their corresponding TV story, which is no longer the case and hasn't been for a while. Could you also reword that passage of the chart?
| |
| | |
| There also all sorts of bits-and-bobs not mentioned in the chart, which isn't as detailed as it used to be (the dozens of licensed but sometimes-invalid narrative webcasts we now cover, for example) but that'd be a larger project, and might if I'm being honest call into question the calling of this list. All I'm asking for, for now, is the aforementioned edit about the novelisations. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:32, May 3, 2020 (UTC)

They're completely different places (I was not aware of the Tenth Doctor version), and since I am bound by [[Tardis:Valid sources|T:NO SELF REF]], I can't edit the page to reflect my intent as the editor.

I think it is a pretty clear-cut case as Morris was called a companion by the [[Fourth Doctor]] himself, and both characters were labelled companions by the comic strip.

| == Question about Spoiler Policy ==
| |
| | |
| So in relation to (that massive Big Finish announcement we all were excited about), I found a piece of news related to (that multi media series I've been editing the page for fairly frequently). The BF announcement will be released after the multi media series, so I don't expect that I can put this article on the multi media series until the BF announcement releases, but is it kosher for me to put it on the page for the BF announcement right now even though the multi media series hasn't been released yet, since the page inherently has spoilers and it's something that comes out at a later date than what I'm referencing? I assume not, but am making sure. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:21, August 14, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| :Alright, I've put it under "Volume 1" of TNDA in [[List of future Big Finish releases]]. I can use it either to talk about the ''timing'' of that particular thing, or the timing of that particular thing and how it interacts or fails to interact with the multi media series. Hence the weirdness I'm worried about on the second issue. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:06, August 14, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| ::Fair enough. You can understand why I'm interested in this particular case and why [[T:SPOIL ALLOW]] was entirely unhelpful in deciding whether I could put [information from that link] on [series page for BF that is released after multi media event]. (Though I do think it is relevant to the BF news, as it talks about some of the specific details of how it was finalized, but yeah, it's more about the interplay between the two.) [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:04, August 15, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| :::So followup to this in a roundabout way. I don't know if you've seen [[User:LegoK9]]'s recent revision to the multi media series yet, concerning merchandise, but it's rather interesting in terms of this wiki's policies. Since it probably wouldn't currently be considered a story - and so doesn't ''technically'' seem to violate the spoiler policy, but the people behind the series very much want to call it a story/narrative, which in turn means we might want to open a forum thread to reconsider our policies about merchandising. So the question is, would it be a violation of the spoiler policy to do so now, bearing in mind it doesn't technically seem to be a story, as opposed to waiting for it to be released?

| ==Adding to the Infobox story==
| |
| Since the [[Fact File]] came out and there's now the first case of a novelisation of two stories (''Ascension'' and ''Timeless''), is there a way you could edit the infobox template to include a second "based on" part? I'd do it myself, but the page is (understandably) locked from editing. Thanks!

| |
| : That is a good point actually, I never thought of that (I was going off the wiki, I don't have the annual quite yet.). Although there is the photo novelisations, but I suppose that's somewhat different.
| |
| | |
| :Maybe we could class them as "adaptations"? Although I'd still like to add a second "based on", for at least ''The Day of the Doctor'' novelisation.

| |
| ::It's worth noting that although the root code says "|novelisation=" and "|novelised_as=", what shows up in the actual infobox ''is already'' the broader "Based on"/"Adapted into".
