I'm an [[Tardis:Administrators|admin]] so if you have any problems or questions that are vexing leave them on '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|{{resize|300%|my talk page'''}}]], if I can't help I'll try and point you in a direction which can.

:''During certain periods of frequent edits and during high levels of vandalism I may take some time to get back to you, on occasion I have been known to forget about things (as it takes time to look through and check pages for vandalism), so please feel free to leave another message or contact another [[Tardis:Administrators|Admin]].''
I've editing this wiki for quite some time (not quite from the start though).  


I often keep an eye on the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] page, checking recent edits by unknown users or IP edits and correcting as I do so and any major edits with very high (or often very low character counts). (Which is why it may seem like I'm following everyone's recent edits around...I am)
I'm not as active as I was when I first started editing, time and all that wears one down a little bit. Since [[Tardis:Forking announcement|the fork]] I've tried to pop in more often.  


I've been on this wiki for quite some time (not from the start though).  
I mostly do admin-y things like going through [[:Category:Maintenance|maintenance categories]], checking articles that have long had the various maintenance tags on them and following up actions on those.


I can get a bit obsessive and methodical and usually start with one page in a line (of novels/audios/TV stories) and then focus on one portion of it, go through a long line and fix just that, and then go and fix the rest. Which is why a lot of pages have a hand or two of mine on them.
I make mistakes. I usually fix them. If not tell me.


I've spent some time working on the infoboxes to alter them so the unused fields collapse (so you can't see the empty fields) and also adding description and usage information to those pages.
If there's an active talk page discussion that I've missed please feel free to point me towards it.

Welcome, and hello.

I'm an admin.

I've editing this wiki for quite some time (not quite from the start though).

I'm not as active as I was when I first started editing, time and all that wears one down a little bit. Since the fork I've tried to pop in more often.

I mostly do admin-y things like going through maintenance categories, checking articles that have long had the various maintenance tags on them and following up actions on those.

I make mistakes. I usually fix them. If not tell me.

If there's an active talk page discussion that I've missed please feel free to point me towards it.

My 'try to do list'[[edit] | [edit source]]

If I'm looking for stuff to do it's often the Proposed mergers category that I try to go through. I will often respond to talk pages that may have had merger tags left on them for some time. So check back if you tagged a page for merge occasionally, someone (likely me) may have left a message.

I also try to go through the various other sub-categories of the Maintenance category, attempting to make my way through backlogs of various maintenance tags that have been added, but not dealt with further. This may involve adding queries to talk pages, and sometimes removing tags without action.

  • Create a top category template: examples of to include:
Planets is a top-level category. It should not contain, via subcategories, information about the culture, society or geography of planets. Rather, it should be strictly about the planets themselves. Individual pages that are in this category are those which cannot be placed into this category's subpages.
For more information on the various planets in this category and how planets are categorised within them see guide to planets categories.
  • Images for all the random stub tags

Other projects[[edit] | [edit source]]

I've also done some work on the Blake's 7 Wiki fixing it up to a point where it's got all the basics in place. Please go and make some edits. It's all there, more or less, or was the last time I visited.
