Would you tell me why you dab the story ''Revenge of the Nestene'' as a short story? It's clearly an audio. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:44, March 26, 2020 (UTC)


== Vandalism ==
Heya! Hope your new year has started off well, too!  Mine has begun busily, and with a ton of inclement weather. So I'm running behind this week, along with it being a holiday week. So I'm not sure I'll reasonably be able to make this somewhat artificial deadline of the 24th to have the forums back in place. Would you mind giving me until Monday, 1 February?  I'd rather avoid adding a second step to the forum restoration process if at all possible. Thanks! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 02:55: Thu 20 Jan 2022</span>
Could you please do something about [[User:Connorguy]] and [[User:DoneNothingWrong]]. They continuously insert false information based on speculation and they are consistently edit warring as a result. I have tried multiple times now to warn them, but they continue the tirade. The "speculation" was originally inserted by [[User:Cynical Classicist]]. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:38, March 26, 2020 (UTC)
:Hey :) I ran into another coupla roadblocks last week, and spo I couldn't get back over here. If y'all could give me another coupla weeks, I'd be super appreciative. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 20:34: Tue 01 Feb 2022</span>
:I did not originally post the information. Someone else did, and once you removed it another user added it back. I, a third user, believed that the information was valid enough to be on the page (and since then a fourth user has also contributed). This puts you at odds with several members - if you felt that the information was wrong / false you should have started a discussion on the talk page (like I suggested). However, you continued to repeatedly remove the information despite being asked to stop. [[User:Connorguy|Connorguy]] [[User talk:Connorguy|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:43, March 26, 2020 (UTC)
:: Incorrect. The only 3 users who consistently inserted it were all new members unfamiliar with a large portion of how this wiki works; that's you, DoneNothingWrong and Cynical Classicist. The only other user, who apparently don't realize this is pure speculation (and therefore not allowed), was [[User:NateBumber]], who also simply expanded upon this. Also you apparently didn't read my comment above, which even said who the original "creator" of the content was. I'm not the one supposed to start up a discussion on whether this shouldn't be there. It's you people who need to start a discussion on whether it SHOULD be there. -[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:50, March 26, 2020 (UTC)
:::I am not a new member. Unfortunately I have lost the credentials to my original account, although I haven't been interested in the show until the recent Russel T. Davies material was released - so recreated today. I am familiar with "a large portion of how this wiki works". There's a big difference between "speculation" and heavy "implication".

:I wasn't going to comment, but since [[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] has name-dropped me above, I feel obligated to add that I very strongly dispute his characterisation of [[Special:Diff/2865071]] as "false information based on speculation". The edit had two halves: a short but serviceable summary of the story (which I was particularly happy to see, since so many of our pages lack summaries); and a "Behind the scenes" note about the connection to [[Boris Johnson]]. While Boris' name is not explicitly given in text (hence why [[User:Cynical Classicist|Cynical Classicist]] correctly placed it in a real-world "Behind the scenes" section rather than an in-universe section like "References", where discussion of prominent off-site speculation is absolutely allowed), with how the story is written, Russell T Davies' intention is very clear, especially considering his previous comments concerning Johnson as a political figure. This has been noticed by countless commentators on Twitter, GallifreyBase, Reddit, and every other Doctor Who community the sun touches, so it would be completely negligent of our wiki to not at least mention it.
==Completely confused==
Hi! About those edits regarding Bessie (which I apologise for if it looked like vandalism, I just genuinely thought it was the case), I’m actually kinda confused - I don’t really remember any DWU TV stories that focus on fully sentient vehicles. I say TV stories since I’ve only really seen those, as they are usually more commercially available. Nor can I remember any other sentient DW vehicles as well, aside from the TARDIS. The only non-organic life forms I can think of with any sentience are the likes of the Autons, WOTAN, and K9. Could you direct me to any examples of sentient vehicles, as well as instances of vehicles narrating a DW story? Thanks! {{user:TARDIS9/Sig}}{{User:TARDIS9/TimeFormat}} 00:03: Tues 25 Jan 2022</span>


:When [[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] reverted Classical Cynicist's edit and dismissed it as "false info" -- and then when he did the same thing another 3 times -- he removed not just the bit about Boris but also the very valuable, and by no means "false", story summary. This was done so repeatedly and so quickly that no one even noticed [[User:MystExplorer|MystExplorer]] dodging in and [[Special:Diff/2865084|adding the same content in the "Notes" section!]] I have since tried to do my part in diffusing the edit war by re-adding the summary and combining the two explanations of the Boris link, complete with a source from the RadioTimes; but I completely sympathize with the frustration of [[User:Connorguy|Connorguy]] and [[User:DoneNothingWrong|DoneNothingWrong]] in this scenario. – [[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>]]) 00:07, March 27, 2020 (UTC)
== Slothdoesthis ==


::Funny how some speculative content is allowed while other speculative content isn't. (by the way, nothing wrong with the story summary, that was fine). Just saying. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:04, March 27, 2020 (UTC)

:::If there was nothing wrong with the story summary, why did you remove it four times and describe the edit (in this section header) as [[T:FAITH|vandalism]]? I think how the wiki treats speculation makes perfect sense: for an illustrative example, see [[The Woman (The End of Time)]]. We do not speculate on her identity in the in-universe portion of the page, but in the real-world “behind the scenes” section, we freely discuss potential identities. – [[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>]]) 13:07, March 27, 2020 (UTC)
== What does the “council” tag mean (w’ signature) ==
::::Because I didn't see the summary. I only saw the speculation. Also, if speculation is allowed in BTS sections, please tell me why speculation in BTS sections have consistently been removed in the past. This is exactly like sticking out some rules that everyone must follow, then someone else comes along and go against these rules, and everyone praises that, leaving the one actually following said rules feeling immensely dumb. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:14, March 27, 2020 (UTC)
:::::As I've said, there's a difference between speculation and heavy implication. If only one user was speculating something, with no real evidence to back it up, then of course it would not be allowed. However, in this instance the wording is specific enough to be universally agreed as to who it was referencing (just look at the comments on the audio version of the story on YouTube - half the comments are about Boris Johnson) then it should be.

:::::Regarding past removals, maybe it’s because of the lack of a source/citation for the speculation? Idk, give me some examples of what you’re talking about.

== Time War volumes ==
== Vandal ==
I've just moved the ''[[The Eighth Doctor: Time War]]'' volumes to their new titles, but upon checking [[Special:WhatLinksHere]], I've... decided that maybe it's best to ask [[User:SV7|SV7]] a bit of help - I'm sure they'll have more fun moving the links than I would :p
So, when you have the time, could you run the bot to change:
* [[The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume One]] to [[The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume One]]
* [[The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume Two]] to [[The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume Two]]
* [[The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume Three]] to [[The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume Three]]
(and, as I said in [[Talk:The Eighth Doctor: Time War: Volume Three]] I'm on the opinion that only volumes 1 and 2 should keep the old names as redirects; I've only kept the volume 3 as a redirect for now until we get the links done) - thought do let me know if you disagree. [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] ([[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|talk]]) 23:11, April 3, 2020 (UTC)
: Oh I didn't realise that {{tlx|TWS}} hadn't "ripple-effected" yet; usually the links change fairly quickly. Yeah, the changing on the marketing ''was'' unusual, but everyone I saw assumed they did it to match the ''[[Gallifrey: Time War]]'' releases (after all, they incorporated its logo) - ''and'' now we get all ''8TW'' sets with the Whittaker-era logo, so that's two wins. But anyway, thanks for doing the changes (and thank SV7 as well). [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] ([[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|talk]]) 16:01, April 4, 2020 (UTC)
:: Let's do the Time War again: [[:Category:The Eighth Doctor: The Time War]] and it's subcategories were never changed from <code>The Eighth Doctor: The Time War</code> to <code>The Eighth Doctor: Time War</code> (sans the '''''The''''') - so if SV7 still has some spare batteries... [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] ([[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|talk]]) 16:07, April 4, 2020 (UTC)
::: Hmm, if you (and SV7 as well) would allow me, I think I found another task for them. There's quite a few pages that are categorised [directly] as [[:Category:Audio cast stubs]], but don't use {{tlx|audio cast stub}}. If they could remove the category and add the template, it'd be amazing. :) [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] ([[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|talk]]) 16:52, April 10, 2020 (UTC)

I began to make a category for Charlotte Pollard short stories, since there's already one for her audio stories, but I began to wonder if it's really necessary. That category was deleted in 2018, and she's only had two boxsets of her own series. Do you think I should create [[:Category:Charlotte Pollard short stories]], or should [[:Category:Charlotte Pollard stories]] be deleted? [[User:Danochy|Danochy]] [[User talk:Danochy|<span title="Talk to me"></span>]] 06:44, April 13, 2020 (UTC)


: Yeah, I agree with you there. If Charley were to get her own category, then so would the likes of Donna, Rose, and Liv with their recent solo series, and it could start to get a bit much. I'll pop a deletion tag on it now. [[User:Danochy|Danochy]] [[User talk:Danochy|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:58, April 13, 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, but do you have any idea when the updates to the [[Template:Wales crew|"Wales crew" template]] might be completed? I know I've put in a lot of requests; apologies for cluttering up the talk page! As I mentioned before, I would love to learn how the template works so I could do the fiddly bits myself, although I completely understand if you'd rather just handle them centrally.

Hi there. As you're the one who originally created [[Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks)]] and formally moved it from its old title of [[TV series (Remembrance of the Daleks)]] I'd like to request that it be moved back to that original title.


The reason for this is that when I was still very new to the wiki I modified it to include all references to the Doctor existing in fiction. In doing so, I drew many speculative connections between all the sources that I can now say probably constituted a violation of policy. [[The Doctor in popular culture and mythology]] now exists to serve this purpose without speculation and in effect, the ''Remembrance'' page has been replaced by [[Doctor Who (N-Space)]] which also serves its purpose without speculation. I have already moved all the links to the most appropriate destination page.
==Deletion request==
Hello, I accidentally created a misspelt category that needs promptly deleting, "Category:Individuals Fairies", that I've remade as "Category:Individual Fairies", meant for [[Jasmine Pierce]] to denote her species. I hope the new category is acceptable and I apologise for the mistake. Kind regards. [[User:RedWizard98|RedWizard98]] [[User talk:RedWizard98|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:20, 20 March 2022 (UTC)


If you could also move [[:Category:Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks)]], [[:Category:Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks) cast]], [[:Category:Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks) crew]] and [[:Category:Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks) stories]] so that they all instead contain ''The Thief of Sherwood'' as a dab term that would be excellent. If it would be easier to just delete the categories and then change them on the individual pages please drop me a message. I'd be more than happy to do the work by hand to correct this mistake.

== Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy ==
: Hi again. Since posting the above request it has come to my attention that ''Doctor Who'' also appeared in [[COMIC]]: ''[[The (Final) Doctor Who History Tour (comic story)|The (Final) Doctor Who History Tour]]''. To avoid the abominable title of "Doctor Who (The (Final) Doctor Who History Tour)" renaming [[Doctor Who (N-Space)]] to have the dab term "N-Space" seems like the best option. As well as avoiding the aforementioned name, readers will also immediately realise the scope of the article, that is the programme of ''Doctor Who'' as it exists within [[N-Space]].


: As such, the categories should be moved to [[:Category:Doctor Who (N-Space)]] et cetera while the move of [[Doctor Who (Remembrance of the Daleks)]] to [[TV series (Remembrance of the Daleks)]] remains unaffected.

While you are obviously correct in saying that ''[[Men Who Made History (short story)|Men Who Made History]]'' and its ilk should be in the category [[:Category:Doctor Who Annual non-fiction]], I think you were hasty in telling [[User:ToyStoryFan123]] that "puzzles and features" go there. There are features in Annuals which are also fiction, though they are not narrative (''[[The Dalek Dictionary]]'', for example) and thus go in [[:Category:Non-DWU features]], and there are wholly narrative puzzles and games; something like [[Untitled_2_(Terry_Nation%27s_Dalek_Special_game)|this]] or [[Lost Luggage (game)|this]]  may not be valid due to fourth-wall-breaking and/or branching story elements, but it's hardly "non-fiction".

If possible, [[Eaglemoss Publications Ltd]] should be renamed to "Eaglemoss Collections" when you have the time. I went through and did some digging, the actual company "Eaglemoss Publications Ltd" was [https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/01369365 dissolved] in 2016, with the US Eaglemoss [https://www.eaglemoss.com/en-us/faq/ FAQ] stating that they're owned by "Eaglemoss Capital Ltd", which was incorporated in [https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09555010 2015], the page can simply note the name change occurred without getting into the actual corporate shenanigans.

On the Fugitive Doctor TARDIS page, it states.
Hey there SOTO! Would you mind tackling a move of [[Rosita (The Next Doctor)]] to [[Rosita Farisi]], on account of the surname finally being corroborated by a valid source (''[[The Time Lord Letters (novel)|The Time Lord Letters]]'')?

"The TARDIS prop appears to have the exterior used by the First Doctor as played by David Bradley in Twice Upon a Time, originally created as a replica of the William Hartnell-era TARDIS for the docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time. The TARDIS console also carries over from these productions."


This user is adding memes from the Facebook group TARDISposting to this wiki and it’s not the vandalism I mind so much as why couldn’t they add memes from somewhere actually funny. I imagine the vandalism is the part you’ll be more concerned about though.

This is not correct. This exterior was commissioned from ThisPlanetEarth, who make TARDIS exterior replicas. The Box was in fact their Pertwee style box that was altered to more resemble the way the TARDIS looked in 1966, as the box was modified during the War Machines. Because of these modifications, the Adventures in Space and Time box would no longer resemble the box in 1966, being more based loosely on the 1963 prop.


== A couple of technical things ==
Hi there, not sure if you're the best admin to ask about this stuff but hopefully you can point me in the right direction if not.


Can you make the "|reprint" variable in {{tlx|Infobox Story}} stop automatically linking? I'm planning to add ''[[It's Even Bigger on the Inside]]'' to the infoboxes of ''[[Doctor Who? (comic series)|Doctor Who?]]'' stories and the best way I can think of doing that is by typing out: <nowiki>It's Even Bigger on the Inside{{!}}''It's Even Bigger on the Inside''</nowiki>. Or is there a way just to bypass it?
I can provide sources and evidence for this.


Also, the "|WithThanksTo" variable in {{tlx|wales crew}} needs to be expanded to "|WithThanksTo17" to account for all the thanking in ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]''.

Hullo! Some minor drama has been unfolding at [[Thread:212365]], "Sequels/prequels to invalid stories". Could you pop over confirm my impression that you intend to close it some time soon, and are simply putting in the time to have a full and well-argued closing argument? [[User:Shambala108]] appears to fear that the other admins might be leaving her to handle all the closures on her own, and recent user [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]] (among others!) was, as is often the case, asking quite impatiently "why the thread cas still open"… A reassurance that a closure from you is forthcoming might help greatly, I feel. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:14, June 3, 2020 (UTC)

Hey SOTO.

Hi SOTO, hope you're doing well. So, I was scrolling through the block list recently, and noticed autoblock, and came up with an idea. I'm sure you're aware of the mass trolling done by a few nazis (or one nazi with sockpuppets) a couple days ago. I was wondering if there was a way to code the autoblock so it blocks certain words?

Hey, whenever you have the time, it would be nice if you could swing by [[Forum talk:Index]]. There's an ongoing discussion about our continuing lack of forums, and having some more feedback would always be nice. In addition, since I haven't asked you to be the bad guy since I've been back, could you please have a discussion with [[User:PepsiMagnet]] about their page creations? They're definitely engaging in good faith, but they keep creating pages with just a title and an infobox (and often the title is wrong, or the page shouldn't exist yet), and [[User:Shambala108]] has already specifically told them not to create pages.

So looking at the categories for reasoning, logic, mathematics and science, I feel like they could do with some reshuffling in relation to each other. But I figured it would be best to ask you about procedure here before I did anything. Normally we wouldn't place either logic or mathematics as branches of science (my rewrite would be to group all of them as branches of reasoning, then that under reason, then that under concepts, but science also stands alone under the time space visualizer), but I wouldn't want to go in and change how the wiki handles things there haphazardly, and since you added logic to the science category I just wanted to get your take on it. I understand that they might be taken to be so similar for the purposes of this wiki that they're just grouped together, even if it's not technically correct. Hence why I'm asking.

Hiya - since you were the last admin to edit the "You may" template, you may want to look at the talk page I created for it, where I raised some issues. Over on Stranger Things Wiki, I designed the equivalent templates to ensure they don't create awkward squashed text.

== Korean Wiki Closure ==
== Undelete talk page ==


So a few days ago [[User:DiSoRiEnTeD1]] noticed "random letterings" on [[Rose Tyler]] and removed it. This was a link to the [https://tardis.fandom.com/ko/wiki/로즈_타일러 Korean Wiki] that was broken, and so had appeared as just a dead hyperlink at the bottom of the page, as I pointed out at [[Talk:Rose Tyler]], because the Korean Wiki has been closed. Since then I've kept my eye out on pages to see if this was a massive problem, and while it's not, a few pages, like [[Doctor Who]] and [[Clara Oswald]] still have dead Korean links. Most pages, including most pages you'd expect to be translated (like, for example, pages for companions or incarnations of the Doctor) do not have these links, but it seems that there are going to be some throughout the site. As a regular user I'm unable to systemically search for them to my knowledge. If an admin has the ability to mass delete links to another website, or we could get a bot to remove these dead links, that would probably be the best course of action.

Hey [[User:SOTO|SOTO]], hope you're doing well. I finished "The Eternal Summer" and it is an absolute gem! There's one little thing I wanted some help on. In the story, Maxwell and the Doctor have a scene where Maxwell references the TV trope where a stupid character says something stupid which inspires the smart character to figure out the solution, inspired by the dumb idea. I know they make fun of this in this particular story but it's actually a pretty common Doctor Who trope. Which leads me to two questions:

1) I added this to the "Notes" section, is that appropriate? Otherwise, where should it be added because I do think it's important to mention...?
== Heads up about the thanks extension ==


2) I was trying to remember an example off the top of my head and I remembered that scene from one of the Second Doctor stories where Jamie suggests an idea and the Doctor realizes that it was actually brilliant and says to Jamie "No Jamie, it's an idea that only you could have though of!" and Jamie goes "Aye!... Eh?" in a charming confused and not sure if he should feel insulted sort-of-way. Anyway do you remember which episode it was (it's definitely not The Underwater Menace, not referring to the scene where the Doctor runs away with Victoria when Jamie has an idea haha), I can't remember if it was "The Dominators" of "The Krotons". I'm like 99% sure it's the Dominators and that's what I added to the notes but just in case I'm wrong I thought I should run it past you first.
Hi. I just wanted to give you a heads up that Tardis is testing the "thanks" extension which Fandom will be rolling out to all wikis soon.

Also, it is mentioned that Dudley's child was aborted in one of his flashbacks (not explicitly but HEAVILY implied and it did turn out to be false in the end as a test by Jane but still it's there in some capacity). I don't feel I have the right/enough finesse to make that page (or at least I can't find it if it already exists) since it is a touchy subject, would you be able to create it instead so I can add the link on the Eternal Summer page?

Hi, I hope you're doing well. Now this is a bit of a long shot, as it happened ''seven years ago'', but I noticed you added some specific dates to the various ''[[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]]'' series, such as here: [[Special:Diff/1541669]]. Would you happen to have any idea where you might have sourced that from? I'm asking because, after searching the web archives of the old Big Finish website, I've come across various release dates which don't correspond to those dates. For example, you can find my citation for a date of that same release over at [[16 June (releases)]] (the date is given on the sidebar of the sourced web page).


My guess is that maybe my date is when they are shipped out from BF directly, and yours were the dates they were released in stores?

Hi, I have a favor to ask. I am probably the least technical person on this wiki, and I don't know how to check for sock puppetry, or even if I have the permissions to do that.

I considered staying over there, but with most of the admins left for here it would've been less than great to remain, I remember when we struggled for admins and it became a slog to keep things going. And as an "old guard" it certainly made me realise how long I'd been on the other place. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 05:14, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
:I too am a bit sad to be leaving too, especially so leaving the remaining admins who have stayed.
:But then I think of changes like Twitter to X, that made me look into Mastodon. And at some point a decision needs to be made.
:I don't get that involved at Wikimedia, I'm mostly categorising images and working through their backlog of images needing categories. But I'll look in and see how things are moving.
:I've only been working my way through all the stubs and other pages like that. I keep cycling through all those maintenance categories as that's what I realised people were tagging stuff to be done, and then it was forgotten about, or never removed, I'm not worried about anything of that which might've been missed.
:Only thing I've created in the past days was [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Tardis:User_talk_pages https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Tardis:User_talk_pages] mostly to address a missing explainer that I think we all take for granted. I was sure it was explained elsewhere in a Manual of Style that might've been edited away.
:I think most of our policies need a read through and check, there's a lot of stuff that's either been dropped because of changes to the wiki, or features been removed or other changes. So whether it's moved over or not doesn't matter.
:I'll keep an eye out, bureaucrat wise for name changes. Although I think it might be sensible to add a "renaming" section to the user name policy, or to create a "User name renaming policy" or something like that. I can foresee a huge potential problem for sockpuppetry and other issues if we don't do due diligence on the renaming. It might be best if we just have a blanket 'no' until there's policy in place. And as a bureaucrat we ultimately carry the most blame / power regarding this. I had it for ages over there, and there were very few bureaucrats (very few people want the extra level of responsibility above admin), so I'm glad there's more here. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 06:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)


== Possible sock puppetry? ==
===Renaming users===
I've seen your work on the [[Help:Changing your username]], and we are risking this process getting away from us, very quickly.


Hi SOTO. I hope you are well. I was just wondering if there was a particular process for reporting a possible case of sock puppetry? I feel bad for "snitching" , but I have noticed for a third time a user who only ever edits when a particular user is blocked and their edits are ''very'' similar. I didn't say anything the first two times because the user is not a vandal and doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, but I feel I have to say something after a third occurrence. [[User:LauraBatham|LauraBatham]] [[User talk:LauraBatham|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:27, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
I've drafted up a policy for name changes in brief; can only be done once ever 365 days, you need a certain number of edits. I'm not sure where to set the threshold for edit count, it can't be too low because you should just create a new account if that's the problem.


== Page to be removed ==
The full draft here: [[User:Tangerineduel/Sandbox 7]].


[[World Enough and Time Plot hole]] needs to be removed. Best, hope you're well and sorry if this is redundant, [[User:DoctorQuoi|DoctorQuoi]] [[User talk:DoctorQuoi|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:15, 29 November 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi
But I also think we need to get all the other policies it references edited and in place, so possibly a pause on renames as well, while all this is going on. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 05:28, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

:Sure go ahead with edits. Only I will say when / if the policy comes to a point where it needs to go to a page I'll probably just copy and paste it, rather than moving. All my current sandboxes I've used, deleted and reused a several times.
:If you think the edit history should be preserved I'll create another (new) sandbox with a clean history so it can be moved when the time comes.
:I was just thinking back in the early days of the old wiki, I'm sure that's what people'd do, create a new account and say 'this is my new account'.
:My intent with that wording was to minimise work for us.
:Ideally this policy shouldn't need to be used, or it's difficult to be used, to reduce the amount of work that's needed behind the scenes. Even limiting to 1 a year, if we get people wanting a change or asking on talk pages etc, that's still going to add up. I know it's people from the old wiki taking the chance to change something at the moment. And I acknowledge that there's not a lot of people ''now'' but I'm looking ahead to potential problems.
:The [[Tardis:Username policy]] should already cover any problematic user names. But we can add something that allows us to further enforce that.
:I think the <code>checkuser</code> role really needs to be used extremely sparingly. I think I'd prefer to just liberally use the block function.
:I agree we really need to consider how we represent ourselves now we're on our own. Back at the old place it was still wikia (and all it became) to point to as being the overseers of it all.
:I'm happy to put my oar in if you want an additional voice, but I'm less technical and more policy and content minded, while trying to head off problems.  —[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 13:26, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


== Infobox image ==


Hi SOTO,


why was my page marked for deletion as I believe I've followed the rules correct me if I am wrong pls. Ser0slug
Just wanted to check in and apologise for editing the infobox gallery on [[The Doctor]] without community discussion. I had done so on 'Fandom' and nobody pulled me on it - not an excuse, it's just why I copied the edit over to here without realising I shouldn't have done. I have since started a discussion about it on the Talk page. My bad! — [[User:FractalDoctor|Fractal Doctor]] [[User talk:FractalDoctor|<span title="Talk">•</span>]] 19:48, 2 March 2024 (UTC)


== Images and Editing and Sandboxes ==
== Thanks ==


Hi [[User:SOTO|SOTO]], I hope you are doing well in this pandemic and you're not too stressed out, especially with the platform "upgrade". I had some quick questions. Firstly with regards to images, is it ok to add images to the wiki again? I haven't yet for fear of causing you a bigger headache than necessary. I have some toy images and some comic images and some other images to add to pages but I just would prefer to have your approval first. I added an image to [[TV]]: ''[[Fury from the Deep (TV story)|Fury from the Deep]]''' that is a screen capture from the Bluray but the interface doesn't ask you for the licensing tag wen you upload it like before. Is this a known problem or is it just me being silly and not seeing things I should? I would also like to start editing my sandboxes since I have some new audios I will be listening to and want to add plots to their respective pages in the coming holiday weeks. Is this ok as well? [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] helped me find my missing sandbox pages but I'm worried that something will go wrong if I try to use them since the changeover. Cheers, [[User:DoctorQuoi|DoctorQuoi]] [[User talk:DoctorQuoi|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:22, 4 December 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi
Thanks for restoring my admin bit while I was bumbling around the new place.

== Confidential/Declassified crew ==
: (I noticed your note about keeping things on one talk page, so I'm following suit. I've heard whispers of a plan to discuss changing that convention in a forum discussion, so conversations are easier to follow. It is, after all, something quite peculiar to Tardis.){{User:SOTO/sig}} 06:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


Hi SOTO, I recently finished adding the crew to all ''Confidential'' episodes and I want to start on ''Declassified'', but I was thinking that really they both should have a crew template like all the other Wales-era shows. I understand that you maintain the Wales crew template and was wondering if you could make a similar one for Confidential/Declassified crew?

:Hi, me again, I've included a list of every credit (and variation thereof) from every CON/Greatest Moments episode with the maximum number of people credited in a single episode next to it. I hope this can make it easier for you to make a crew template for me. May I suggest calling it WalesBTS.
Hi again SOTO, I believe you may be able to assist - if possible, I'd like to change my username to simply "Fractal". It doesn't appear to be registered, so I'm hopeful it can be done. I chose my original username based on old fanfiction, and no longer wish to be associated with it, but I would like to keep the "Fractal" element of it (which will also help with regards to people still recognising who I am).

Hiya SOTO, I've got a request for you (and [[User:SV7|SV7]]) - I need ''[[K9 and Company]]'' renamed to [[K9 and Company (TV series)|''K9 and Company'' (TV series)]], as there is an in-universe source that requires the undabbed page name. I would do it myself, but there is a staggering, overwhelming amount of links leading to the page, so I was wondering if you could ''please'' fire up SV7 and change the links?
:That's perfectly fine. I'm happy to wait. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly (and for the pre-approval). [[User:LauraBatham|LauraBatham]] [[User talk:LauraBatham|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


Oh, and while I'm on subject, the links leading to ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'' needs to be changed to [[Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)|''Dr. Who and the Daleks'' (theatrical film)]], again, due to an in-universe source requiring the dab-less page (namely ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks (Peaceful Thals Ambushed!)]]''). This, of course, is in accordance with [[T:DAB#Why is it Castrovalva (TV story) and not Castrovalva (city)?]]. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><tt>'''Epsilon'''</tt></span>]]''' '''[[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 01:06, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

== Trans redirect ==
== A month of edits, and a change of name ==
In reply to your deletion summary: ah, fair enough. I was hesitant myself upon deciding to make it a redirect rather than delete it outright, for much the reason you state — but had felt it better to retain it because there was some minor brouhaha on Twitter a little while ago, making fun of the Wiki for not having a page on the very concept of which it was (in the regrettable affairs you'll recall) once accused. I am fairly certain this was what sparked the creation of the page.


This is an explanation of my perhaps questionable choice, to be clear; not an argument against your overturning thereof. You're probably right that in the long term, the redirect may do more harm than good.  
I just want to say I appreciate just how much a behemoth of workload I'm sure you have, you're doing a great job. I'm just wondering what my options are, having had no idea this was even happening I did virtually a month's worth of edits which I'd love to get back. And also a change in username, if possible, would be nice, I'm thinking FuturesEnd. Thanks! [[User:StevieGLiverpool|StevieGLiverpool]] [[User talk:StevieGLiverpool|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 07:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


Either way, it occurs to me we ''should'' probably be looking at ways to give a bit more structure to the [[Transgender]] page, whether it be to permit the redirect or not. It ''is'' a bit weird that the BTS section has multiple subheadings but the in-universe section has none, isn't it?

== Probable serial spammer ==
== Thanks for the edit and I have a question ^^' ==


There is an IP user on this wiki who keeps creating nonsensical spam pages (typically taking the form of garbled copies of existing valid maintenance pages), and then self-tagging them for deletion. Some examples of pages of that nature include [[Campfire]], [[:Category:Candidates for deletion]], [[Template:Deletetemplate]], [[Template:Stubtemplate]], [[:Category:Blocked]], and [[Template:Blocked]], amongst many others.
Hello, thank you very much for uploading my edits (sorry if it took me a long time to respond, I'm having A LOT of trouble to use the user page...I even don't know if it's the right place to ask that...) while I'm here I have a question, on my user page, is it possible to put one or two images that would not have their place on wiki pages, just to make it look nice for a little bio...
If this is not the case, sorry for having disturbed :/ If so, how do we put other images that will not be used for the wikia, and sorry for the disturbance too...
[[User:KaradegRara|KaradegRara]] [[User talk:KaradegRara|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)KaradegRara


Another common form of vandalism from this user is to take random redlinks from [[Special:WantedPages]], and "fill" them with either a blank page (such as with [[Campfire]]) or utter juvenile nonsense (such as with [[Ascension (Cybermen)]], and [[Energy being]]), or purely real word information with no DWU references (such as with [[Lamp]], [[Washer]], and [[Sculpture]]).
Edit : Thanks a lot for the answer! ^^' [[User:KaradegRara|KaradegRara]] [[User talk:KaradegRara|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:11, 2 April 2024 (UTC)KaradegRara


Occasionally these will also be self-tagged. A third common form of vandalistic behaviour is to create pages for obviously nonexistent dates, such as immense year numbers or dates with days of a month longer than the number of days actually in the month in question. Typically these will be just a haphazard mess of templates that look like a spambot could have written them (examples here are [[1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000]] and [[ 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000]]), but other times these will get very explicitly vandalistic; such [[56 July (people)]] and [[99 November (releases)]].
== Light theme subheadings ==


Now, I must make clear here that I am not saying these are DEFINITELY all the same vandal, especially considering those last two, particularly the racial slur used in the latter of them, would be very serious accusations to make, being as they are far worse than the usual MO of simply creating nonsense pages that could even be argued to be conceivably well-intentioned yet misguided attempts at created maintenance pages they don't know already exist. However, this argument is somewhat dampened by the fact they KEEP being recreated, which is also the reason I say I BELIEVE (although do not definitively state) that these IPs are the same person. It certainly seems to go beyond reasonable coincidence, so if these aren't the same person we're highly likely dealing with a network of copycats.
There's been an issue with the light theme for a number of days now where the subheadings appear blue, with the text themeselves being almost unreadable. I think it's to do with the subheadings being matched to the dark theme's background colour and not flipping to the corresponding light theme's background colour when that's used. I can't be the only one using the light theme, hoping you can help. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 04:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


What also is possibly noteworthy is that, assuming these are indeed the same person, one of the aforementioned "contentless redlink fillers" they created was on the page [[Ageing]]. Now, this may too be a coincidence, but it did very much remind me of a certain wiki called the "Oldsouls" wiki, which I honestly don't quite "get" but apparently is a wiki dedicated to the rather oddball subject of old people, and apparently is a big breeding ground for vandals, which primarily manifests itself on this particular wiki in form of misogynistic trolling directed at [[Jodie Whittaker]].
==Sixth Doctor contents box==


This is just an observation and not a 100% certainty accusation (especially I as a regular user am unable to see deleted contributions so a lot of this has to be from memory), but the, shall we say, "not traditionally PC views" that has been expressed certain members of that community would seem to fit in with... a certain word used by this user. Like I said, I'm in no position to confirm this, but think it does warrant looking into.
Hi, not sure if you are the right admin for this, so please forward to the appropriate person. I was editing the Sixth Doctor's page, and his contents box is much lower down than expected, it's appearing at the start of the biography section, with a big gap between the infobox and the contents box. I have checked on multiple browsers, and that it isn't happening for other larger pages such as the Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors. I can see a template on the page which is misplaced so could be a wider error in the page, unless the template is in an unexpected place.

hi! i dont know if you're aware of this issue, but i was looking at some of the transmat pages (specifically [[Transmat:Torchwood]], but i checked and the other transmat pages linked on the wiki's main page have the same issue) with the dark theme enabled and i noticed that the little boxes on these pages are white, and the text in them is light grey, which makes them pretty difficult to read.

Hi SOTO,


Since UCP ''still'' does not have support for Soundcloud, and Czech is, politely, busy, much like the change to recent changes I suggested above, there's a [https://dev.fandom.com/wiki/SoundcloudPlayer plugin] that will add in Soundcloud support for the time being, if the admins care to look into it. They plan on disabling it as soon as UCP actually adds back support for Soundcloud, so it's only ever designed as a stop gap.

Hey SOTO! I'm here to let you know that Fandom sent in some emails to users regarding this year’s virtual Community Connect. You should have received an email with an invite - if you can’t see it, these seem to be hitting a lot of people’s spam folders, so it might be in there. (If you do find it, feel free to RSVP so that they can know whether or not you’ll be able to tune in - as if you can't, we may be able to invite another awesome editor yet).

Hey there!
== Where could I talk about an interpretation I have about "The Legend of Ruby Sunday"? ^^' ==


You likely have seen this already, but if you can check your email associated with your Fandom account (it may be in spam!), you'll hopefully find an invite to join us for The Monthly, a special private Fandom webinar-style event hosted by our Global Community Lead, Will ‘MisterWoodhouse’ Kavanagh. This series will cover important topics affecting the wiki platform on a monthly basis, giving you a briefing on what you need to know from Fandom, with some purely fun stuff as well.
Hello, I'm sorry to bother... again... but I just finished to watch "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" and it impacted me for personal reasons and I really want to talk about it, of my interpretation of someone's comeback and it echoed in my head about a dialogue between the 1st Doctor and Bill in "Twice Upon a Time" (I try to avoid spoils, just in case) </br>
Edit : Nevermind, I just wrote it on my own page... sorry for the inconvenience :/
[[User:KaradegRara|KaradegRara]] [[User talk:KaradegRara|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:10, 15 June 2024 (UTC)


The first edition of The Monthly is this Friday, February 26th with two opportunities to join: 9am and 4pm US Eastern. Future editions of The Monthly will be the final Friday of each month, schedule permitting.

Hi, SOTO! Could I trouble you to merge ''[[The Last Day 1 (audio story)]]'' and ''[[The Last Day 2 (audio story)]]'' into ''[[The Last Day (audio story)]]''?

== Story References in Leads ==
== Tagged ==


Hi, I've been digging through TARDIS Wiki's Manual of Style, plus a number of pages concerning editing style/format concerning whether or not story references should exist within page leads, but I've not found anything yet. So I was wondering if, seeing as you're an admin on the wiki, you could answer my query. I've noticed, when editing [[War Doctor]], that a notice in the lead says that story references in the lead should be avoided - which appears to be the general format for a large number of character pages, including the Doctor's other incarnations. But there are also pages, such as [[Cyberman]], which have a pretty huge number of story references in their leads, so I don't know if they should really be there or not.

Hey. Not that the wording choice matters, but "impliedly" is a word. It means, "[https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/impliedly in a manner that is hinted at or suggested rather than directly expressed]". I probably first heard about it when learning how an Act of Parliament can impliedly repeal an early one, so perhaps it's more commonly used in the British legal world.

== The Monthly - March 26 ==
 
Hey again! Last month we announced that Fandom is doing a monthly admin get together called ''The Monthly'' to keep you up to date with the latest Fandom news. The next session will be next week, '''Friday, March 26'''.
 
Last month, you should have received an email about it, with the option to either opt-in or opt-out of receiving invites. If you haven't already, please do dig up the first email and select one of the following options:
 
* '''opt-in''' will put you on the monthly mailing list, ensuring that you'll get an invite each time. Next week's invite has been sent out!
* '''opt-out''' will take you off the mailing list.
 
It is known that the links will appear broken when you click on them, but your chosen preference will still be registered.
 
If you want to let me know which option you chose, that would be great as if you decided to opt out then I will stop messaging you about it. Many thanks! :)  --[[User:Spongebob456|Spongebob456]] <sup>[[User talk:Spongebob456|talk]]</sup> <staff/> 14:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 
== Job table and crew templates ==
 
Hello, lately I've been looking into [[T:SMW|Semantic MediaWiki]] and the templates [[Template:Job table|Job table]] and [[Template:Wales crew|Wales crew]]. As, judging by the edit history and talk page for Wales Crew, you seem to currently be maintaining this template, I wanted to ask you a few questions related to it.  
 
Firstly, as noted on the page for Wales Crew, a similar template for 'classic' [[Doctor Who|Who]] has not yet been made. I was wondering if any progress has been made on constructing this template. If not, I would quite like to make it and was wondering if that would be OK. I'm happy to actually make the template and add it to relevant pages. If so, should the relevant fields be added to Wales Crew or should a new template be made? The [[Doctor Who (TV story)|TV Movie]]'s crew has been made to work with the template and so doing the same with 'classic' Who seems reasonable. However, it would make the template's name quite inaccurate.
 
Additionally, could similar templates for stories in other mediums such as [[AUDIO|audio]], [[PROSE|prose]], [[COMIC|comics]], [[WC|webcasts]], [[HOMEVID|home video]] and [[GAME|games]] be made? It seems amiss that we have such a comprehensive database for [[TV|TV stories]] yet not any others.

: Hi, I just wanted to remind you about this in case you saw it and then forgot to respond or something similar as it has been over a month and I've seen you reply to other talk page messages. Thank you in advance. [[User:Bongolium500|Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500)]] [[User talk:Bongolium500|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 07:25, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 
== FandomDesktop migration ==
 
Hey there! We are due to migrate this wiki very soon to FandomDesktop and I need to help get a light theme ready. Apologies for the short notice of this, there were some unforeseen circumstances.
 
It would be great to work with the entire admin team to get the wiki ready for FandomDesktop. Have you been using the new skin? I'm going to start some preparation tomorrow and it would be great to work with the admin team on this. We may need to:
 
* Adjust the theme on light theme
* Adjust templates
* Adjust CSS/JS
* and more potentially.
 
If you have any suggestions for how we can collaborate, please let me know. I wondered if a forum thread on [[Forum:Index]] might work? Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you! --[[User:Spongebob456|Spongebob456]] <sup>[[User talk:Spongebob456|talk]]</sup> <staff/> 18:47, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 
== Bot help ==
 
Hey, how have you been? I know you're not editing as regularly these days, and iirc your bot was not operational last time we talked, but it that still true now? If it ''is'' active, there's some stuff that I could use SV7's help with. As you've probably noticed, we've started splitting some Time Lord pages into separate incarnation pages. For this reason, there's some templates which are no longer necessary, and can be put to rest once the links are moved (taking the nuances of <nowiki>{{Name}} --> [[new Name]], {{Name|c}} --> [[New Name]] and {{Name|n="something"}} --> [[New Name|something]]</nowiki> of course). These would (currently) be:
* <nowiki>{{O'Mara}} into [[First Rani]]</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Hound}} into [[The Monk (The Black Hole)]]</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Garden}} into [[The Monk (The Book of Kells)]]</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Champion}} into [[First Monk]] (there's really no need to link into that specific section anymore, as we don't go around linking to [[Twelfth Doctor#something]] via templates)</nowiki>
* <nowiki>{{Roger}} into just [[The Monk]] (after all that's just an alias)</nowiki>
 
I'd like to suggest that we also no longer need <nowiki>{{Pratt}}, {{Jacobi}}, {{Gomez}} (that one was never really necessary), {{Mckee}} and {{Dhawan}}, as we have [[Decayed Master]], [[War Master]], [[Missy (Deep Breath)]], [[the Lumiat]] and [[Spy Master]]</nowiki> which we can link to as we do for... well, everyone else. So, if you agree and think it's worth at least moving the links until the day where we re-split the Master, please do so as well :). Anyway, hope you're well. [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] [[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:10, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:Ah, forgot to mention this on the above message, but I've already checked all relevant publisher summaries/credits to make sure any bot alterations will preserve the text as it should, so you wouldn't need to worry about this when moving the links via bot. [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] [[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:14, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:: Oh yeah, the Masters are firmly tied to [[the Master]] right now. But there's nothing stopping us popularizing these (official) redirects that have come from either credits, soundtrack or merchandising. God knows using them helps writing articles on stories like [[Masterful (audio story)]].
:: ''That said'', Czech has basically given a statement on Discussions that we'll split the Master, as Multi-Masters stories make it hell for us to cover under a single page (or something of the sorts, can't remember exactly what he said, but that ''should'' happen once we get Forums back). So now it's almost more a case of ''when'' and ''how'' more than a ''if''.
:: Ah, another useful search might be to see if there are any instances of "War" Master, "Decayed" Master/"Decaying" Master and/or "Spy" Master and turn them to a version without quotation marks. Otherwise, we'd probably end up with a few links like <nowiki>[[War Master|"War" Master]]</nowiki> which wouldn't be ''wrong'', but a bit unnecessary. In any capacity, thanks for looking into these. [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] [[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:46, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
::: Ooh, sorry to hear you've been having trouble with accessing the bot stuff properly. I know CzechOut is not here as regularly as he used too as well, so perhaps [[User:Spongebob456]] could help with that (or at least pass it along to other Fandom staff)? [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] [[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:28, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, you're right; getting rid of <nowiki>{{Jacobi}} and {{Gomez}}</nowiki>, for now, it's jumping the gun a bit.
:::: If I'm honest, personally, I find it a bit redundant to maintain the templates once the pages are split, as they were created specifically to ease the linkage to specific sections of a single. But as you said, this will definitely require a discussion, as it comes down to editors' usage only. Anyway, great news that SV7 is back!

== Fandom projects ==
 
Hi! Got a couple of things:
 
As this wiki used to use Special:Forum, Fandom wants to make sure that old forum links and references aren't cluttering up maintenance special pages (unusedfiles, needed pages etc). Would you mind checking and letting me know asap as to whether that's an issue for this wiki? Just looking for dead links to forums in special pages, or links to images used in forums but are now dead, stuff like that. No need to attempt to cleanup yourself, I just need to know if they exist.
 
Secondly, did you receive an email sent last week I believe inviting you to The Downstream on September 10th? The email is titled "[The Downstream] Ask Fandom Anything, Social Media Tips, and Data Insights". I just want to confirm you received the email as we know Fandom outreach emails often land in spam.
 
If you could let me know about both of those things, that would be fantastic. Thanks! --[[User:Spongebob456|Spongebob456]] <sup>[[User talk:Spongebob456|talk]]</sup> <staff/> 09:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

== Question on Current Policy regarding info from novels Re: Article Names ==
 
Hello, I was sent in your direction in hopes you might have policy information. Do you happen to know what the current wiki policy is regarding information from novelizations as it pertains to altering article names, ex. when a novel offers both a first and last name for a character where the serial they appear in gives only a last name? I have, for 7 years, been attempting to see if the article currently titled [[Lavel]] would be better titled with the full name given to her in the novelization of the serial she appears in, with no progress. I was recently told by another admin to check current policy, as they were unfamiliar with what the proper decision should be regarding such a change. Any information on the matter would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Pbandfluff|Pbandfluff]] [[User talk:Pbandfluff|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:04, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 
== Checking in ==
 
Hi there! Sorry it has been a little while since I last checked in, I have been out of action for the last two weeks unfortunately. How are things going? One thing I did notice was that the navigation in dark theme, the Explore tab in white is hard to read. Have you guys noticed that? Figured if we do what we did before and if we continue a single thread on my talk page, it might be easier for us to keep track.

Hey SOTO, it has come under the attention of some users that several "featuring" fields on the infobox are broken. I'm assuming it's due to your latest edit on {{tl|ch}}.

== Film genre categories deletion ==
 
Hi, I just noticed that you've placed deletion tags upon categories such as [[:Category:Science fiction films from the real world]], and I would like to argue that these categories should remain, but with pages only being placed within if their genre is shown within a valid source. But any speculation should be removed, even though I currently like the current set-up. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 08:32, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

== Jenny One and infobox ==


lolololooolololollololollolololloolololololllol
Hi there, I was waiting for someone to come along who could help with Jenny. Firstly an easy one: since the naming system seems to have established itself as [[Jenny 7]] and [[Jenny 8]], it is perhaps best for us to rename [[Jenny One]] to [[Jenny 1]]? I think your rename of Category is a great idea too.


== There's a guy using a bot to auto-revert by edits every 15-30 seconds, named [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon]]. ==
Secondly, would it be perhaps worth our time making one of those little infoboxes that sit on the side of a page with the Jenny ships in chronological order? As a huge fan of the ''Jenny'' series, I just think any excuse to get people exploring it would be a great opportunity. I can happily tell you the order in which they come. I'll be trying to add to the whole Jenny side of the Wiki when my freetime allows it.


Please ban [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon]] {{Unsigned|Check up page}}

Temporary forums[[edit source]]

Heya! Hope your new year has started off well, too! Mine has begun busily, and with a ton of inclement weather. So I'm running behind this week, along with it being a holiday week. So I'm not sure I'll reasonably be able to make this somewhat artificial deadline of the 24th to have the forums back in place. Would you mind giving me until Monday, 1 February? I'd rather avoid adding a second step to the forum restoration process if at all possible. Thanks!

Completely confused[[edit source]]

Hi! About those edits regarding Bessie (which I apologise for if it looked like vandalism, I just genuinely thought it was the case), I’m actually kinda confused - I don’t really remember any DWU TV stories that focus on fully sentient vehicles. I say TV stories since I’ve only really seen those, as they are usually more commercially available. Nor can I remember any other sentient DW vehicles as well, aside from the TARDIS. The only non-organic life forms I can think of with any sentience are the likes of the Autons, WOTAN, and K9. Could you direct me to any examples of sentient vehicles, as well as instances of vehicles narrating a DW story? Thanks! User:TARDIS9/SigUser:TARDIS9/TimeFormat 00:03: Tues 25 Jan 2022

Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy[[edit source]]

Hey!

Recently, Fandom staff posted updates to the Fandom Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy. As a reminder, this is a global policy to aid the wellbeing of communities that all wikis have been following since 2021. These new changes go into effect on April 4th.

I'll let you read through those changes and if you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page! :) --Spongebob456 talk <staff/> 15:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Maps[[edit source]]

Hey! Made a post about the new Interactive Maps feature - does Tardis have any maps suitable for that? --Spongebob456 talk <staff/> 12:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Twice upon a Time Hartnell TARDIS[[edit source]]

On the Fugitive Doctor TARDIS page, it states.

"The TARDIS prop appears to have the exterior used by the First Doctor as played by David Bradley in Twice Upon a Time, originally created as a replica of the William Hartnell-era TARDIS for the docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time. The TARDIS console also carries over from these productions."

This is not correct. This exterior was commissioned from ThisPlanetEarth, who make TARDIS exterior replicas. The Box was in fact their Pertwee style box that was altered to more resemble the way the TARDIS looked in 1966, as the box was modified during the War Machines. Because of these modifications, the Adventures in Space and Time box would no longer resemble the box in 1966, being more based loosely on the 1963 prop.


I can provide sources and evidence for this.

Crook[[edit source]]

How is a thief not a crook?

When you have time[[edit source]]

Hey SOTO. Someone made a change to {{Actor or crew member/preload}} and I don't know enough about that template to know if the change broke something, fixed something, or is entirely irrelevant to how this wiki functions because we don't use it anywhere. Could you check it at your earliest convenience? Najawin 08:12, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Forum issues / Talk to a user[[edit source]]

Hey, whenever you have the time, it would be nice if you could swing by Forum talk:Index. There's an ongoing discussion about our continuing lack of forums, and having some more feedback would always be nice. In addition, since I haven't asked you to be the bad guy since I've been back, could you please have a discussion with User:PepsiMagnet about their page creations? They're definitely engaging in good faith, but they keep creating pages with just a title and an infobox (and often the title is wrong, or the page shouldn't exist yet), and User:Shambala108 has already specifically told them not to create pages. Najawin 05:44, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Re: Image captions[[edit source]]

If it is against the rules... it should be stated in the rules, as I was able to point out this rule is not. A user should not have to blindly trust another "more experienced" user, especially one that the user has had problems with in the past. DrWHOCorrieFan 21:01, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

I struggle to see good faith in a user continually engaging with another user that has indicated that they do not want to interact with them. Surely this site has rules regarding that? Why should I have to interact with a user that makes me feel uncomfortable when they could just as easily ask an admin to intervene if they think I am doing something wrong? DrWHOCorrieFan 21:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

DrWHOCorrieFan[[edit source]]

Hi, SOTO. I left a message on this user's page because they've been consistently uploading images of more than 100 KB and haven't been categorising them. They've indicated that they don't intend to follow these rules, so I wonder if you might be able to have a word. Jack "BtR" Saxon 00:16, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Are there seriously no rules regarding harassment on this site? This is a very clear case.
I am a user who can take criticism and advice, all you have to do is look at User:OncomingStorm12th pointing out to me that a ton of pages I created were taking up space on Special:LonelyPages and I immediately combatted this by creating a template to house the pages. But I refuse to do so from a user who makes me feel deeply uncomfortable and that I have repeatedly asked to limit interaction with me. Making out that I'm refusing to follow the rules, rather than refusing to acknowledge a user who knows that they make me feel uncomfortable, is a fabrication. A user should not have to interact with someone who makes them feel uncomfortable. It isn't like I make a habit of accusing other users of this, it is a single user who I have had problems with in the past and no longer want to interact with. DrWHOCorrieFan 00:27, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

“You may” template[[edit source]]

Hiya - since you were the last admin to edit the "You may" template, you may want to look at the talk page I created for it, where I raised some issues. Over on Stranger Things Wiki, I designed the equivalent templates to ensure they don't create awkward squashed text. For the most part, TARDIS is excellently designed, but the issues with this particular template stick out like a sore thumb.

Undelete talk page[[edit source]]

Hey, I'm not sure if this will be at all interesting, but when you have time could you undelete Talk:The mighty 200? I found a reference to it on an old talk page, so it might be worth looking at. Najawin 05:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Inclusion Debates 2.[[edit source]]

Hey, SOTO, that 10k Dawns thread is currently viewable in inclusion debates 2. The one nobody is supposed to be able to see. Najawin 04:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Obviously you're still moving stuff around, but just a heads up that User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon III is out of order. Absolutely no rush, what exists is fantastically workable compared to the early days of the wiki. But just to bring it to your attention. Najawin 08:03, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Please join me in Slack[[edit source]]

Hey hey! LTNS! Would you mind joining me in Slack to share your plans for the Forum?
czechout<staff />    18:03: Wed 10 May 2023

Actually a meeting in Diosco might be more convenient. Any chance you could stop by there and befrikend me, cause you don't seem to have your habndle in your provile. Mine is in my profile. You should know that the Forum namespace is now open. That would seem to obviate some of the plans CHris has told me you have made, and I'd like a chance to discuss a few things. Thanks!

Heads up about the thanks extension[[edit source]]

Hi. I just wanted to give you a heads up that Tardis is testing the "thanks" extension which Fandom will be rolling out to all wikis soon. This extension allows editors to thank other editors for their edits. The editor being thanked will then recieve a notification. Therefore, while you're actively performing edits, you may receieve a few more notifications than normal. If you notice any bugs, pass them onto User:Spongebob456. Bongo50 19:58, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Admin+[[edit source]]

Hey there! I’m reaching out to introduce the Admin+ program (if you haven’t heard about it already!) & let you know I’m here if you have any questions about it. Take a look at the details here & feel free to send over any questions you have. pikushi ✧.* <staff /> 20:25, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Re: Discord[[edit source]]

Iii am so sorry, I messed up and made the request disappear — could you send it again? But it's very very good to hear from you. (EDIT: Okay, I've found the means to resend one to you myself, so… could you accept that one, haha? Sorry about this mess.) Scrooge MacDuck 20:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Outdated sentence on ParentsPage[[edit source]]

Hiya. Just wanted to point out that the ParentPage still cites the Peter Cushing films as invalid sources. WaltK 16:53, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Deadname forum[[edit source]]

Hey, could you perhaps take a look at Forum:Clarifying in-universe deadnaming policy in response to Rose Noble. I think it would be great to hear your view on the matter as this one might sit close to you, on both sides of the matter. Danniesen 11:58, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Sock puppet[[edit source]]

Hi, I have a favor to ask. I am probably the least technical person on this wiki, and I don't know how to check for sock puppetry, or even if I have the permissions to do that. There is a series of users, most with similar names, that have been uploading the same images, without licenses and breaking several other policies, over the last two weeks or so. I have given two of them short blocks for repeat offenses, but another one or more have appeared. It's pretty apparent from their behavior that they are most likely the same person using different names, especially after I blocked a couple of them. If you are able, could you check on User:Theincrediblehulk2003, User:Hulkbreaktheworld, User:Hulksmashtheworld and User:The Worldbreaker Hulk. There may be more, but these four are the ones I can recall. Thanks! Shambala108 16:29, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks and that answers my question, none of us have that ability :D Next time I'll go to Fandom staff. Thanks again, Shambala108 18:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

That weird IP user again[[edit source]]

Hey SOTO, if you could block 183.132.187.157 and delete the pages they created that would be lovely. Cheers. Najawin 09:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Prop delete query[[edit source]]

I've been looking through the Category:Proposed deletions category recently and noticed an inordinate amount are pages lurking as sub-pages of your page. Some of them are obviously archived forum pages, and others not, I just wanted to double check with you that these should be in the delete category (or not). --Tangerineduel / talk 13:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Forum Archives[[edit source]]

Hey, obviously zero, zero pressure. I'm just curious whether the plan is to move User:SOTO/Forum Archive to a more permanent location in the near future now that we're on the new site or if it's lower down on the priority list. If that's the plan, I'll hold off on adding threads from that era to my sandbox. (Again, absolutely no pressure here, this is just wondering so I can figure out how to organize my own stuff.) Cheers. Najawin 09:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Changing username[[edit source]]

Hi, SOTO. Bongolium said you might be able to help.

The "BtR" in my username was chosen because it was the initials of my first Wikia username so I could be recognised, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I also chose "Saxon" at random, so I'm not particularly attached to my username.

Would you be able to change my name to a mononymous "Jack"? If that's not possible, let me know and I'll spend some time thinking up a new and more unique one.

Thanks. Jack "BtR" Saxon 13:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

That's great, thanks very much. (And sorry about my problematic punctuation marks!) Jack 13:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the message[[edit source]]

Just wanted to say hey, thanks for the message. I had no idea about this shift, although I remember ages ago when Oasis was being changed or something, there was talk then about moving, and it was mostly in the 'too hard' basket. I considered staying over there, but with most of the admins left for here it would've been less than great to remain, I remember when we struggled for admins and it became a slog to keep things going. And as an "old guard" it certainly made me realise how long I'd been on the other place. --Tangerineduel / talk 05:14, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

I too am a bit sad to be leaving too, especially so leaving the remaining admins who have stayed.
But then I think of changes like Twitter to X, that made me look into Mastodon. And at some point a decision needs to be made.
I don't get that involved at Wikimedia, I'm mostly categorising images and working through their backlog of images needing categories. But I'll look in and see how things are moving.
I've only been working my way through all the stubs and other pages like that. I keep cycling through all those maintenance categories as that's what I realised people were tagging stuff to be done, and then it was forgotten about, or never removed, I'm not worried about anything of that which might've been missed.
Only thing I've created in the past days was https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Tardis:User_talk_pages mostly to address a missing explainer that I think we all take for granted. I was sure it was explained elsewhere in a Manual of Style that might've been edited away.
I think most of our policies need a read through and check, there's a lot of stuff that's either been dropped because of changes to the wiki, or features been removed or other changes. So whether it's moved over or not doesn't matter.
I'll keep an eye out, bureaucrat wise for name changes. Although I think it might be sensible to add a "renaming" section to the user name policy, or to create a "User name renaming policy" or something like that. I can foresee a huge potential problem for sockpuppetry and other issues if we don't do due diligence on the renaming. It might be best if we just have a blanket 'no' until there's policy in place. And as a bureaucrat we ultimately carry the most blame / power regarding this. I had it for ages over there, and there were very few bureaucrats (very few people want the extra level of responsibility above admin), so I'm glad there's more here. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Renaming users[[edit source]]

I've seen your work on the Help:Changing your username, and we are risking this process getting away from us, very quickly.

I've drafted up a policy for name changes in brief; can only be done once ever 365 days, you need a certain number of edits. I'm not sure where to set the threshold for edit count, it can't be too low because you should just create a new account if that's the problem.

The full draft here: User:Tangerineduel/Sandbox 7.

But I also think we need to get all the other policies it references edited and in place, so possibly a pause on renames as well, while all this is going on. --Tangerineduel / talk 05:28, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Sure go ahead with edits. Only I will say when / if the policy comes to a point where it needs to go to a page I'll probably just copy and paste it, rather than moving. All my current sandboxes I've used, deleted and reused a several times.
If you think the edit history should be preserved I'll create another (new) sandbox with a clean history so it can be moved when the time comes.
I was just thinking back in the early days of the old wiki, I'm sure that's what people'd do, create a new account and say 'this is my new account'.
My intent with that wording was to minimise work for us.
Ideally this policy shouldn't need to be used, or it's difficult to be used, to reduce the amount of work that's needed behind the scenes. Even limiting to 1 a year, if we get people wanting a change or asking on talk pages etc, that's still going to add up. I know it's people from the old wiki taking the chance to change something at the moment. And I acknowledge that there's not a lot of people now but I'm looking ahead to potential problems.
The Tardis:Username policy should already cover any problematic user names. But we can add something that allows us to further enforce that.
I think the checkuser role really needs to be used extremely sparingly. I think I'd prefer to just liberally use the block function.
I agree we really need to consider how we represent ourselves now we're on our own. Back at the old place it was still wikia (and all it became) to point to as being the overseers of it all.
I'm happy to put my oar in if you want an additional voice, but I'm less technical and more policy and content minded, while trying to head off problems. —Tangerineduel / talk 13:26, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Infobox image[[edit source]]

Hi SOTO,

Just wanted to check in and apologise for editing the infobox gallery on The Doctor without community discussion. I had done so on 'Fandom' and nobody pulled me on it - not an excuse, it's just why I copied the edit over to here without realising I shouldn't have done. I have since started a discussion about it on the Talk page. My bad! — Fractal Doctor 19:48, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks[[edit source]]

Thanks for restoring my admin bit while I was bumbling around the new place. As I said to Tangerineduel, it’s nice to have it, even if, as Cassandra said about the Doctor’s “parts”, they’re barely used. —Josiah Rowe 19:49, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Absolutely! Welcome back to the family. I'm so glad you made it, after all. 💙SmallerOnTheOutside.pngSmallerOnTheOutside.png
(I noticed your note about keeping things on one talk page, so I'm following suit. I've heard whispers of a plan to discuss changing that convention in a forum discussion, so conversations are easier to follow. It is, after all, something quite peculiar to Tardis.)

Username change[[edit source]]

Hi again SOTO, I believe you may be able to assist - if possible, I'd like to change my username to simply "Fractal". It doesn't appear to be registered, so I'm hopeful it can be done. I chose my original username based on old fanfiction, and no longer wish to be associated with it, but I would like to keep the "Fractal" element of it (which will also help with regards to people still recognising who I am). Please could you let me know if this is possible? Thank you. — Fractal Doctor 21:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC) Thank you kindly for the username change :) — Fractal Doctor 18:59, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Username Change[[edit source]]

Hi SOTO,

Back when I made my account, all those years ago, I was not very wise with my username choice. The less sites it is on the better, so can I please have it changed to Laura in the TARDIS. Thank you LauraBatham 08:26, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

That's perfectly fine. I'm happy to wait. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly (and for the pre-approval). LauraBatham 09:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for sorting that out for me. Laura 04:45, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

A month of edits, and a change of name[[edit source]]

I just want to say I appreciate just how much a behemoth of workload I'm sure you have, you're doing a great job. I'm just wondering what my options are, having had no idea this was even happening I did virtually a month's worth of edits which I'd love to get back. And also a change in username, if possible, would be nice, I'm thinking FuturesEnd. Thanks! StevieGLiverpool 07:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

RE: Welcome![[edit source]]

I'm glad to see everything transferred swimmingly! I'll have a double check to see if there's any edits I should manually get in here, but other than that sounds good. Many thanks for putting me at number 2! StevieGLiverpool 21:14, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

User rename policy[[edit source]]

Just thought I'd drop a message to say I've created Tardis:User rename policy and its related Tardis:User rename policy/Change request subpage. There's inuse tags on them so we can make any changes before making this official. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:03, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, thank you very much for uploading my edits (sorry if it took me a long time to respond, I'm having A LOT of trouble to use the user page...I even don't know if it's the right place to ask that...) while I'm here I have a question, on my user page, is it possible to put one or two images that would not have their place on wiki pages, just to make it look nice for a little bio... If this is not the case, sorry for having disturbed :/ If so, how do we put other images that will not be used for the wikia, and sorry for the disturbance too...

Light theme subheadings[[edit source]]

There's been an issue with the light theme for a number of days now where the subheadings appear blue, with the text themeselves being almost unreadable. I think it's to do with the subheadings being matched to the dark theme's background colour and not flipping to the corresponding light theme's background colour when that's used. I can't be the only one using the light theme, hoping you can help. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Sixth Doctor contents box[[edit source]]

Hi, not sure if you are the right admin for this, so please forward to the appropriate person. I was editing the Sixth Doctor's page, and his contents box is much lower down than expected, it's appearing at the start of the biography section, with a big gap between the infobox and the contents box. I have checked on multiple browsers, and that it isn't happening for other larger pages such as the Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors. I can see a template on the page which is misplaced so could be a wider error in the page, unless the template is in an unexpected place. Thanks AdricLovesNyssa 21:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

CSS issue on transmat pages[[edit source]]

hi! i dont know if you're aware of this issue, but i was looking at some of the transmat pages (specifically Transmat:Torchwood, but i checked and the other transmat pages linked on the wiki's main page have the same issue) with the dark theme enabled and i noticed that the little boxes on these pages are white, and the text in them is light grey, which makes them pretty difficult to read.

Hello, I'm sorry to bother... again... but I just finished to watch "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" and it impacted me for personal reasons and I really want to talk about it, of my interpretation of someone's comeback and it echoed in my head about a dialogue between the 1st Doctor and Bill in "Twice Upon a Time" (I try to avoid spoils, just in case)

Tagged[[edit source]]

Hey. Not that the wording choice matters, but "impliedly" is a word. It means, "in a manner that is hinted at or suggested rather than directly expressed". I probably first heard about it when learning how an Act of Parliament can impliedly repeal an early one, so perhaps it's more commonly used in the British legal world.

Nah, it's no problem! It should be as easy to understand as possible. Jack 20:31, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Jenny One and infobox[[edit source]]

Hi there, I was waiting for someone to come along who could help with Jenny. Firstly an easy one: since the naming system seems to have established itself as Jenny 7 and Jenny 8, it is perhaps best for us to rename Jenny One to Jenny 1? I think your rename of Category is a great idea too.

Secondly, would it be perhaps worth our time making one of those little infoboxes that sit on the side of a page with the Jenny ships in chronological order? As a huge fan of the Jenny series, I just think any excuse to get people exploring it would be a great opportunity. I can happily tell you the order in which they come. I'll be trying to add to the whole Jenny side of the Wiki when my freetime allows it.
