Cybermat Templetate[[edit source]]

The Template Template:Cyberman variants has a tiny issue w/ it, and it's locked to non-admins. It's a simple problem, the Cyberman (Mondas) section links to Cyberman, because it was made before we made the switch of pages.

Victory is yours[[edit source]]

You'll be happy to know you've effectively won a long-standing debate on an MOS issue. See T:SPACING, paragraphs two and three, for more. Even as we speak, the bot is now systematically ensuring that every full stop has only one space after it. (I can't bring myself to say it's the actual rule, though. I won't do it. I won't, I tell you. You can take the practical victory. Fine. But too many of our ancestors got marked off in their typing classes for using one space to say that it is theoretically wrong to put two.)

Image rules cheat card[[edit source]]

I'm noticing more and more instances of people uploading pictures which are, according to agreed practises, flawed in some way. I'm thinking that part of the reason might be that we haven't put it all together on one page, so I've created T:ICC, or Help:Image cheat card. It's kind of in the vein of the Help:Spelling cheat card — just a quick run-through of the big points about image usage. Let me know if you think it could be improved.

Images by story categories[[edit source]]

Please be aware that images by televised story and images by comic story are now completely filled out with subcategories for each and every story of that type. So if you have an image from say, Thinktwice, you'll want to make sure that you put it in Category:Thinktwice comic story images. Or if you have something from The Mind of Evil, please ensure it gets into Category:The Mind of Evil TV story images.

These images by story categories are, of course, in addition to any other categories which may be appropriate, such as ones from Images by character, Images by object, or images by species.

Images by story will continue to grow over the coming weeks to include other media, but comics and TV were deemed the highest priority, since the vast majority of images will come from these two visual media.

Also, if you haven't noticed it for now, TV story pages now all have a little tab at the top left labelled "images". Clicking it takes you to the relevant category, so that you can quickly view our repository of images from that particular story All stories will eventually have this sort of link. Longer term, individual charactes might also have such a link.

User:99.116.249.117[[edit source]]

In May 2011 I edited the Nyder page to remove what I thought was some sort of fan fiction user "99.116.249.117" had mistakenly added. However having just looked at some equally baseless contributions to entries such as Kate Yates and Thalek I now think 9.116.249.117 was a vandal. Zerinza ^{talk to me} 18:01, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Cyberman[[edit source]]

I replaced your image at Cyberman with this, due to the fact that File:Cybermen variants.jpg is half-publicity photo. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 20:25, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Gah, I always forget that. Pretty big issue, considering that I intend to create quite a few new articles in the near future. Thanks for the reminder! Sorry about that.

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!

Hi. Terribly sorry, I just saw that you and another two users have posted a notice about my misusing the categories system. I've read the site rules and I'm pretty sure I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience, and sorry for not noticing your post on my talk page. Thanks for clearing up my mistakes. User:TheAnonJade

Page: Virtor[[edit source]]

Hey there. I saw you deleted my recent page before I'd added information. I was midway through editing it; it's just that creating content on the page creation is cumbersome on my mobile device. I'd appreciate it if you'd give me a few minutes to write the information this time round. Thanks. User:TheAnonJade 16:32, 05/09/14.

Hi again. I'm sorry for the trouble. I can't view the full edit page on my device, so I have no idea why the article is empty once I complete the edit. I can look at it at home if you're willing to wait, or if not could you take a look at Virtor and see what mistake I've made. I've put the information in there somewhere, but it's not showing at all when I publish. Sorry, I'm not used to editing via my phone and I won't do so in the future. Sorry and thanks. User:TheAnonJade 16:46, 05/09/14.

Thanks very much. It's turned out to be a nightmare. As I'm idle, I'll carry on with a couple of minor edits if I spot anything, but I definitely won't be doing anything complicated on my mobile in future. Thanks again. User:TheAnonJade 16:55, 05/09/14.

Heya :) Glad to see you back again :) Hope all has been well with you :)

Teeny weeny message about Cloister Bell[[edit source]]

Hey there, I'm headling offline now but I've noticed that some unnamed user had edited the Cloister Bell page. So out of everyone's interests, I tidied it up. It seemed s/he didn't understand I was helping and reversed it again. I just tidied it up again but if you could keep an eye out so that he doesn't feel the need to leave trails of terrible English on more pages, it'd be appreciated.

If I remember tomorrow, I'll try to clean up that page since it does have quite a lot of bullet points haha.

Thanks mate,
TheFartyDoctor ^Talk 23:38, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Prison[[edit source]]

Thanks for creating this page. I'm working sporadically on the Wanted Pages, and it's nice to see one of the biggies (with connecting links, that is) created. Cheers! :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 16:39, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Fan fiction[[edit source]]

Eh, hello there. I have a proposal for you and the wiki here! I have just gained control over a DW fan fiction sight and would like to know if you'd like to start a partnership with me and the wiki, perhaps you could mention us on the home page saying "please do not upload fan fiction here, go to -here- instead. What do you think? Would you like to chat about it? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bloxxasourus (talk • contribs) .

Alright, that's fine! – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bloxxasourus (talk • contribs) .

Welcome[[edit source]]

What a brilliant welcome page to the wiki! Thank you for having everything laid out - that truly helps. And hooray for British English! I realise that some may think it's just faff, but I think it adds colour to the site!Maskatron ☎ 03:33, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Gaffabeque vs Gaffbeque[[edit source]]

Hi there. I just wanted to bring something to your attentions. There are currently two pages about the same thing- Gaffbeque and Gaffabeque (regarding the foodstuff mentioned in Bad Wolf).

In the episode, as you'll of course know, it's pronounced "Gaff-a-beque" rather than "Gaff-beque". Is it possible to merge the two pages under the name "Gaffabeque" and use the information on that page since it's more lengthy. Also, we'd need to change the link on the page Lucifer.

Sorry to intrude on your busy patrolling but it's been doing my head in and I don't want to break any rules by merging pages... I don't even know how to do it.

Thanks, TheFartyDoctor ^Talk 12:33, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! I'm sure one day I'll learn hehe. TheFartyDoctor ^Talk 12:44, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Understood! TheFartyDoctor ^Talk 12:49, October 30, 2014 (UTC)

Confused[[edit source]]

I'm a bit confused that your removing the fact that Missy is the Master. I originally thought you were a Vandal but I can see your a Admin. So I'm a bit confused unless you have some sort of rule about it then I apologize as I did not know. Lewody1 ☎ 21:20, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Ahh. Thanks for telling me. Lewody1 ☎ 21:42, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Transit and Mechanic[[edit source]]

Hi Skittles the hog,

My source for the uncredited service mechanic actors was The Doctor Who Production Guide Volume Three: Cast and Crew by David Brunt and Andrew Pixley, published by the Doctor Who Appreciation Society in April 1998. I hope this helps. I'd also like to say thank you for your contributions to the page, as these have greatly improved it.

On the subject of Ford Transit, I just thought I'd let you know that I accept and respect your decision to delete this page; admins — or is it caretakers now? — know best! I'll just write it off to experience. I'd also like to apologize for my attempts to counter the point on Talk:Ford Transit; this was the first time I had ever done such a thing, and I'm afraid I failed miserably in doing so — just as I did on Talk:Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

If only I'd called the 'Ford Transit' page 'Pickup truck' instead. It would probably have been less bother...

I've printed myself off a copy of Tardis:Valid sources and will keep it close by when creating pages in the future. I hope my creation of 'Ford Transit' didn't cause too much inconvenience.

I await your reply with great interest. -- Freddie R. Aldous ☎ 17:06, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

Categories[[edit source]]

I see your problem. I will add a more apt description to "Human hosts" and "Individual hosts". I will also remove those two previously mentioned categories. Thanks. 66 Seconds ☎ 16:26, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

Wanted Pages question[[edit source]]

I am seeking advice. Or advise. :)

I'm working through the WantedPages, and there are some that are, I believe, not really wanted. Like User blog:Magic Afro, BFBS and Template:Str index/logic. I'm not linking them, as that would make the problem worse. Might it be possible to delink them on the pages they are at? Which are often talk pages and Howling forums. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers! ----Ebyabe (talk) 02:29, November 16, 2014 (UTC)

Main Dalek Image[[edit source]]

Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to pitch into Talk:Dalek#New Infobox suggestion. You had some good notes on a previous chat of the same kind (although they were not taken well by the user). OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:16, September 29, 2015 (UTC)

Invite to forum[[edit source]]

Hey Skittles! I wanted to stop by and invite you to be a part of Thread:180396, where we're currently discussing if the DWU prefix does or does not well-represent our invalid policy. We've got some good input, but barely anything from more than one admin. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:56, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Suggested rename/redirect[[edit source]]

Am I able to suggest a rename for the page Kpachoдap? It should be changed to Краснодар in order for it to be correct. Also, should we set up a redirect from Krasnodar to here, as it's a real town? I just need to know so I can start the Welsh translation of the page and link them up.

Just suggestions hehe. Thanks for your time. TheFartyDoctor ^Talk 19:50, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

The Company[[edit source]]

It was actually named in Robophobia (audio story) and already has an article: Kaldor City Company. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 01:05, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Well, the information in the article was incomplete, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. And it's partly my fault since I had forgotten to link to it from the Robots of Death article when I created the page. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 01:17, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Oh wait, I didn't actually create it, I just expanded it with more info from Kaldor City and Robophobia. :) JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 01:19, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

I've listened to all the Kaldor City stories and Robophobia. You are quite correct. Robots are used on Kaldor for all kinds of tasks, not just on sandminers. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 01:30, November 1, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Skittles. Can you put 'The Dogs of War' cover onto its page. I uploaded the image last night, but can't work out how to put it in the right place. Thanks. andy frankham-allen– The preceding unsigned comment was added by AndyFA (talk • contribs) .

not gonna sp3end a lot of time on this -- just visited the Tardis Robin Hood page in passing and it crashed my IE 10 on Windows 7 so far five times -- if anybody is serious about providing info for all, this should be looked into -- the basic page frame has been SyFy's Expanse, many other video ads to choose from (for debug / blame) --76.18.94.220^{talk to me} 00:35, December 11, 2015 (UTC)

Moving pages[[edit source]]

Since we seem to be collaborating on The Silver Turk (audio story), I've noticed you've moved a page. I remember some admin mentioning that there are some special non-trivial actions that need to be performed when doing it. So I'm always afraid to do moves myself. What's the procedure exactly? Thanks in advance.

Meanwhile, I will continue edition. My primary goal is to fix factual mistakes.Amorkuz ☎ 17:53, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Hi Skittles, I have sort of made a mistake by adding Non-DWU Doctors category page to an in-universe one, as I don't know how to get rid of catergories I though it ought to tell you, sorry for the inconvenience. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 13:35, December 26, 2015 (UTC)DENCH-and-PALMER

Hi pal, I understand why you removed the image Skittles, however can I propose we change the image to a Doctor Who related promotional one as the current one does not feature Doctor Who at all, which it should do really.

Dalek Prime[[edit source]]

Hi! So this is going to be a blast from the past, but nine years ago, you were the one who added the presence of a "Dalek Prime" in AUDIO: The Four Doctors as a continuity point referencing the Dalek Prime from PROSE: War of the Daleks. Whether that actually is meant to be the same Dalek Prime is one of the many issues under discussion in my Thread:257167, so your input, among others', would be appreciated. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 14:04, September 15, 2019 (UTC)

-:Thanks for clarifying your points, but, wow, [[The Krotons]]? How old are those edits? 2 years? Kinda late in the game to be commenting about that. I'd disagree with setting a specific px value for inline photos, as the problems with the new skin make clear. By choosing to go to the standard thumbnail size, the picture is automatically sized to the defaults of the skin. Standard thumbnail size, for instance, appears to be quite different in the new skin to what it is in the old skin, or in the smartphone skin. Specifying a size for inline articles goes against wikia intent, and would, in my opinion, require discussion and official adoption at the Panopticon. I'm not opposed to having that discussion, but there really must be a standard applied across ''all'' articles. In the absence of any consensus agreement here, that standard is surely the wikia default.
-:All that said, I we've had this kinda discussion before. See [[Forum:Photos on story pages]], [[Forum:Standard Size Pictures]], and the more infobox-centric [[Forum:Character infobox image standards?]]. Only the last of these really came to a conclusion where the forum discussion led to a policy change to the MOS. As far as I know, and I could be mistaken, we've ''talked'' about pics in the article's body, but we've never come to any conclusions, which is why I think the MediaWiki default is the ''de facto'' standard.

+== Howdy :)  ==
-::Sourced in what sense? I've probably contributed more pics to this wiki that just about any other user and I've never had anyone call me on this. If there's a pic of a Kroton, isn't it pretty obvious it must come from ''[[The Krotons]]''? What kinda sourcing are you looking for that isn't implied by [[:template:screenshot]] or [[:template:telesnap]] or most any of the other licenses? I agree that we could do a better job by having an automatic filing system like at MemoryAlpha, so that pics got put into a category relative to a particular story, but that's in the absence of that, typing "This picture came from ''[[The Krotons]]''," doesn't really give us anything we can manipulate or use in any meaningful way. As far as "da Law' is concerned, it wouldn't protect us any more to have a detailed boilerplate like Wikipedia uses to rationalize why they're using non-free images. At the end of the day, if the rights holders want to shut us down, they can shut us down, no matter what we scribble on a picture page.
+Heya :) Glad to see you back again :) Hope all has been well with you :) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 17:26: Mon 08 Sep 2014</span>
-::Still, I agree it's important to at least make it ''look'' like we care about copyright by minimally asserting, "This pic is a screenshot; we don't own it; these are the probable copyright holders." So maybe what you're saying is that you've found some very old uploads of mine where there's no license tag? Have you run into some pictures where I haven't appended [[template:screenshot]] or something? I know there was a moment a long time ago where the multiple upload function page had a bug in it that prevented a single license being applied across multiple pics, but I didn't find out about it until long after the fact. Other than that, I can't remember failing to give the broad source of any pic.

-:::Ohhhhhhhh, I see what you're talking about with ''[[The Krotons]]'' at least. [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=The_Krotons&oldid=112541 This is what the page looked like when I last touched it over two years ago.] It was barely ''anything'' back then, and we were using totally different skins, so the "framing" dual-column approach made much more visual sense than it does today. I thought people would've taken those images and put them at appropriate points down the article as it grew. Judging by the revision before yours, though, that's not what happened. They kept the images in exactly that same position, so that they no longer truly illustrated the article. No wonder you thought the thumb size was interrupting the text flow of the article. If you put six or seven consecutive images at the top of an article that then grows beyond the stu stage, ''of course'' text flow is going to be compromised. I'll restore them, instead of just deleting them.

Oh, and that forum discussion you pointed me to hasn't been archived, so it's still active. As it stood, that discussion was just people throwing opinions around, moving no closer to actual policy change than when you'd first started the thread. No one could reasonably read that thread as having come to any actual conclusions. Clearly, the MOS still doesn't set forth any actual policy on captions. I added my feelings to that discussion in the hopes of getting some more discussion going. Maybe with a little more activity, it'll eventually reach some sort of productive closure, rather than just quiet, unresolved archiving.

-::I don't think I was suggesting that pictures ''never'' get deleted. But the fact that there are well over 1000 pics in the unused photos report indicates that it's clearly not a priority to run out and delete photos willy-nilly. I still don't really know which of my photos you're having a problem with, by the way, but if you're talking about ones uploaded this month, it's a li'l premature to be worrying about them, don't you think? And you know, it's a completely valid editing style to upload photos without knowing, "Oh, I'm going to put that pic exactly right there." Sometimes I upload thinking that I'm going to put it on a character page, but then find that it works better on a story page or a species page. There's absolutely no rule of this wiki that placement of a picture occur within a certain time period.

-::As for caption "sourcing", a strict rule on what must be included will probably lead to boring, repetitive captions, as well as caption blocks that are as tall as the picture height itself. "Sourcing", as you call it, adds at least a line of text to a caption. With longer titles, like [[Doctor Who and the Silurians]], you're talking two additional lines of text, which usually means doubling the size of the caption. If the section it's illustrating is short, '''the photo with caption could easily be longer than the section.''' Imagine this graf were a section. Now check the height of the thumb against the height of the paragraph. Then compare the height of the cap to the height of the pic. The cap is ''taller''. To my eye, that's not desirable, especially if the caption itself gives other wikilinked clues as to the picture's source.
-::I think if you start to demand that ''every'' caption must have its source given in a particular way then you're coming dangerously close to telling people how to write. And while we can require some stylistic standards (standard English grammar, preference for British spellings, past tense for in-universe articles), I'm not sure this is one of them. It's '''not''' demonstrably better sourcing to give the name of an story as opposed to giving unmistakable, wikilinked hints in the text.
+== Prison ==
-::Don't get me wrong; I'm not universally opposed to story titles in captions. I wouldn't be on a campaign to remove them throughout the wiki. But I don't see why we would want to formally require them, either. As long as the caption allows the picture to be sourced in no more than one click, it's fine, I say. In the above example, a click on [[Wenley Moor]] identifies the story as ''Silurians'', so all is well.

But this comment about putting things on the list of prefixes is the second issue this week where you've sorta jumped on me while I'm literally ''in the middle'' of editing something you flag as problematic. Please don't take this the wrong way, and I'm certainly not claiming infallibility because of it, but I have been here as one of the most prolific and thorough editors since about 2007. So it would be foolish to suggest that what you said '''wasn't''' helpful, or that you meant it in a mean-spirited way. But it does make me think that we have two very different editing styles. You seem to edit mostly by watching the recent edit list, expecting that someone's recent edit is their final edit on a topic. My mind doesn't work that way; I tend to sculpt articles with multiple revisions before I'm done. So if you could reserve judgment until there's a halt of about 12 hours on my editing of an article, I'd appreciate it. There was, after all, no way I could have both created [[INFO]] and altered [[Tardis:list of prefixes]] with the same press of the "submit" button. :) '''[[User:CzechOut|<span style="background:blue;color:white">Czech</span><span style="background:red;color:white">Out</span>]]''' [[User talk:CzechOut|☎]] | [[Special:Contributions/CzechOut|<font size="+1">✍</font>]] 22:34, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
-==DVD features prefix==
-I think the answer is, "yes, there should be a prefix, but at the moment there there aren't enough articles about the special features to justify one." To my mind, a prefix for the special features would demand specifically naming a special feature, and that would mean redlinks in almost every case. I've tended to, I suppose, cheat by using an acronym that's not a prefix: [[BBC DVD]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'', for example. But that's not truly desirable citation. They ''should'' be cited by name, for clarity. If these documentaries did finally get articles created for them, I suppose the most flexible prefix would be [[DOC]], as in, [[DOC]]: ''[[Lalla's Wardrobe]]''. DOC would allow usage beyond just DVDs, to include radio documentaries and the like.

-:Cool, then [[DOC]] is a go, I'd say. That's more than enough of a start to indicate the direction of progress we want to make. The only thing I note about your list of documentaries is the collectivization of "[[Now and Then]]". Each of the "Now and Then"s should (ultimately) have its own article. Yes, keep the main article, [[Now and Then]], but then add [[Now and Then: The Masque of Mandragora]], et al, for easier citation.

-::Oh, one other thing I notice by perusing [[:Category:Doctor Who DVD documentaries]] is that you're consistently failing to alphabetise articles. Remember that "a", "an" and "the" shouldn't be the sort keys when filing to a category. If you could just add <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:Name of Article, The}}</nowiki>, it would avoid the nastiness of so many of these articles, like [[The Vampire Lovers]], being filed under the letter "T". (So, <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:Vampire Lovers, The}} or you can get lazy and indicate a shorter key, so long as it's likely unique, like, {{DEFAULTSORT:Vampire Lov}}.)</nowiki> You generally want to include a DEFAULTSORT instead of just sorting on a particular category, because you never know what categories the article may later be added to automically. Having DEFAULTSORT set ensures the article is ''always'' sorted appropriately, no matter how it finds its way into a category. Thanks :)
-::Beyond that, though, bloody good work getting so many of these articles started. I'm ''most'' impressed.

-==[[Sepulchre]]==
-As ''sepulchre'' is an ordinary noun, there's every chance that an article could be written about it (especially after listening to the audio). Thus, [[Sepulchre (Dead London)]] should be the character and [[Sepulchre]] should be moved to [[Sepulchre (audio story)]], then [[Sepulchre]] (which would now be an automatic redirect, after the move) should be re-written about the object in the audio story (as well as other sepulchres in broader DW fiction).

-:A sepulchre is a burial chamber, usually small in nature. You know how when you go to a cemetery, especially a relatively posh one, there are those small structures that have the name of a family and inside are several relatives' remains? That's a sepulchre, though we're more likely to call is a mausoleum, vault or crypt today. More rarely, usually in older texts, it can also be a verb, as in, "The snow sepulchred the tender daffodils in its icy embrace." So a character named "Sepulchre" can't be up to any good, can he? It's about as subtle as just calling him "Death".

+My source for the uncredited [[service mechanic]] actors was ''The Doctor Who Production Guide Volume Three: Cast and Crew'' by David Brunt and Andrew Pixley, published by the Doctor Who Appreciation Society in April 1998. I hope this helps. I'd also like to say thank you for your contributions to the page, as these have greatly improved it.
-==Ratchet/Rattle==
-No, it's really a football rattle in all three cases. I mistyped when I initially said "ratchet", and that red link allowed you to then get the idea to start your article. I apologise for wasting your time (though I really didn't think anyone would be waiting to "pounce" quite so quickly). A football rattle is bigger than a ratchet, and hence produces more noise. Also, tellingly, the rachet's handle is hinged, so it folds up like a jackknife. There's no indication in either ''Nightmare'' ''Masque'' or ''Wedding'' of a hinge. Moreover, a ratchet generally isn't "whirled" like we see the Doctor doing in all three cases. Finally, if you enter "football rattle" in Google, it produces a helluva lot of results, indicating it's the more common name, especially since "ratchet" has so many other meanings. Ratchet really should be deleted.

+On the subject of [[Ford Transit]], I just thought I'd let you know that I accept and respect your decision to delete this page; admins — or is it caretakers now? — know best! I'll just write it off to experience. I'd also like to apologize for my attempts to counter the point on [[Talk:Ford Transit]]; this was the first time I had ever done such a thing, and I'm afraid I failed miserably in doing so — just as I did on [[Talk:Eeny, meeny, miny, moe]].
-:I'm still not sure what you're talking about. I reverted [[crisp]] only because your breakup into two separate grafs rendered the second sentence a clause, instead of a sentence. I wasn't intentionally reverting anything to do with spacing. And I don't see any double spaced lines anywhere in that article. Can you please clarify?

-:::Ohhhhhhh, I see what this is! The old "one lump or two" debate on punctuation marks ending with a period. Yeah, sorry, it '''is''' intentional that I put in two spaces after a full stop, because, well, that's how I was trained. I don't even think about. But, yeah, if you were trained to type on a computer rather than a typewriter, you probably have been told it's "wrong" to use two spaces. Here's an extract from the MLA handbook, the standard American style guide:
-:::{{quote|Publications in the United States today usually have the same spacing after a punctuation mark as between words on the same line. Since word processors make available the same fonts used by typesetters for printed works, many writers, influenced by the look of typeset publications, now leave only one space after a concluding punctuation mark. In addition, most publishers' guidelines for preparing electronic manuscripts ask authors to type only the spaces that are to appear in print.<br><br>Because it is increasingly common for papers and manuscripts to be prepared with a single space after all punctuation marks, this spacing is shown in the examples in the MLA Handbook and the MLA Style Manual. As a practical matter, however, there is nothing wrong with using two spaces after concluding punctuation marks unless an instructor or editor requests that you do otherwise.|http://www.mla.org/style/style_faq/style_faq3}}
-:::As we never ruled on this issue in the Manual of Style, I've consistently done what is instinctual to me. Might be worth seeing if we want to set a rule on this one in the forum. I'm honestly not bothered either way — but if there's no rule, I'll instinctively double-space. It would be, incidentally, fairly easy for a bot to make the whole site comply one way or the other, so it's '''not''' one of these things where it can be credibly said, "Oh, I ''wish'' it were this way, but it would be '''so much work''' to make it happen, that I'll just live with it as is." This kind of stylistic challenge is precisely what a bot is for.

-::::Nope, I'm not saying I ''want'' one or the other. I'm saying that if there is no rule in the MOS, then we're both right, and it's pointless for either of us to correct the other. I don't care enough about the issue to bring it to the forum. But if you feel really strongly that it should be one way or the other, I'll support whatever consensus emerges there, and offer the services of my bot to actualise the change. My official stance is thus, '''I don't care, but I'll help those who do in their efforts to achieve uniformity on the site'''.

-:::::No, it's not a mistake; it's training. See, back in the day, when all we had were typewriters, the available fonts were exactly like the one I'm seeing as I type this. That is, they were ''monospaced'' fonts. Every character took up exactly the same amount of space. Thus, to distinguish between abbreviations and the end of a sentence, it was necessary to type two spaces when you meant the end of a sentence, and one when you didn't. Otherwise, you might have mistaken the period after "Mr." or "U.N.I.T." (back when people ''used'' periods in acronyms) as the end of the line.
-:::::It's kinda hard to show you how the difference looks in the font you see before you now — which is why I was having problems understanding what you were talking about before. But, still, this was a Big Damn Deal when I took typing. You could fail a project if you ''didn't'' double-space, because each single-space was marked as an error. That's not being overly strict; that's because it really ''does'' matter when you're looking at monospaced fonts. Without that extra space, all the letters just run together, and it's hard to get a sense of the beginning and ends of setences. Now that almost everyone types in proportional fonts, the extra spaces are a luxury more than a necessity.
+If only I'd called the 'Ford Transit' page 'Pickup truck' instead. It would probably have been less bother...
-:::::Still, it's not ''wrong'' to double space, even now. Every major style guide in the English world says something to the effect of what the MLA did above: computers have made it unnecessary to double-space, but it's still valid. Thus, if we're going to have a standard here, it '''must''' be explicit in the MOS. I just don't want to see you wasting a lot of your time editing out these spaces of mine when they don't actually offend the MOS. And I'm not going to "re-train" myself to avoid double-spacing ''unless'' there's a rule saying I have to. Again, though, I won't oppose you if you propose a change to the MOS on this matter.

+I've printed myself off a copy of [[Tardis:Valid sources]] and will keep it close by when creating pages in the future. I hope my creation of 'Ford Transit' didn't cause too much inconvenience.
-::::::Heh, yes, I took a course using typewriters, which were still being taught in most American high schools until at least the mid-1990s. Actually, it was the ''price'' of getting a computer. My dad wouldn't let me buy a computer until I'd learned to touch type on a ''manual'' typewriter. I took the course, not because I needed to learn how to type —my dad had already taught me that — but because I needed a certificate ''saying'' that I could type. My typing teacher hated me, because I could type 100 wpm the day I entered her class. Believe me, when you train on a manual, you automatically get a 20-30 wpm "boost" by default. It's kinda like how Superman is stronger on Earth cause he's used to the heavier gravity of Krypton. Or something like that, anyway.

-Well, clearly the BF website is batty, which is why I suspect you removed your question from my talk page. But even though I suspect their intent was to just transpose WOF with FFTD, I don't particularly think that makes sense. There's a reference to Yeti in Tibet within the script. To my mind, if they had just come off of the adventure with Yeti in the Tube, Jamie's reaction would've been a bit more exasperated and immediate, like "We JUST got done with those beasties!" If they're coming from a ''second'' encounter with the Yeti, Jamie's reaction seems far too muted and casual. Looked at another way, it works far better as ''foreshadowing'' for WOF than as the story that ''follows'' it. I would ''personally'' place it between ''[[The Ice Warriors]]'' and ''[[The Enemy of the World]]'', based upon the actual script, rather than the BF website.

-:Well, I strongly disagree with you on the issue of whether the DVD doc articles could get any bigger. They're clearly better than what came before them — which is to say, nothing — but they all are pretty stubby. [[Stripped for Action]], just for a start, needs to be split up into the constituent eight articles, for ease of citation, amongst other reasons. Then you could give many more details given about the actual contents of each one. Now, you ''could'' say "this doc is about the comics drawn in the first Doctor's era" and leave it at that. Or you could actually talk about who was interviewed, what interesting things they had to say, and generally give a flavor of the documentary. All these docos could definitely be expanded, and take an infobox when they are. I'm not saying '''you''' have to, of course. If you've done what you want to, that's more than fine.

-==Changes==
-These aren't changes to the infobox, and they aren't major. It's simply positioning the table of contents. I can't really see the effect unless I examine it "live". These huge tables of content have to be conrolled in some way, because they create huge ugly blocks of whitespace. Patience, please, while I examine the effects. It might take a bit of time. It's all incredibly easily reverted.
-From my preliminary look around, I think what you're seeing as "horrible" though are the inherent faults in some articles. If an article doesn't have a lead, this is going to look "weird". But the answer is to write a lead, not to abandon this idea. Also, there are many pages on which pictures have been placed incorrectly, or sized inappropriately. Again, the answer there is to fix the pictures.

Look at [[Planet of Giants]], [[The Rescue]], [[The Romans]], [[Galaxy 4 (TV story)]]. Do you think the TOC being on the right is hurting those articles?

-::::It's premature to put it up for discussion. Got to kick the tires a bit, first. As you've admitted, it's something that is ''appearing'' to behave differently on different pages. Until I can suggest best practices that work on all pages, there's really no recommendation to put up for discussion. I suspect it's because the pages themselves have formatting defects — that is, they lack adequate leads or synopses, there's random white space for no good reason, or the pics are somehow wrongly placed. I don't think it's anything really to do with putting the TOC on the right side, which is objectively quite an incidental thing to do. Certainly, I'm not noticing problems with new series pages at quite the same level as old series ones. I don't think it's something that can be "optional". In the first place, that would be a massive manual chore. Why have templates like infoboxes unless you're going to leverage their power? In the second, we don't want to have just ''some'' of the story pages with the TOC to the right. It should be in a predictable place.

-:::::Hi. No offense, but you're really kinda impatient aren't you? What part of "I'm testing this thing that has a different effect on different pages" did you not understand? I do not intend to change it back for at least the next 72 hours. You are seriously exaggerating the negative effects this is currently having and underestimating its positive benefits. Yes, the classic series is where it's causing the most problems. All that has to be examined on a page-by-page basis. But for the new series and Torchwood pages, it's largely working just fine. 19:17, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
-::::::I'm not seeing how this is hampering anyone's ability to edit. They can make whatever changes they want to while this is going on. And of course had it been ''possible'' to have done a sandbox thing, I would've. But this isn't a template. This is using the actual data that is on each page '''as it stands'''. I can't fake that on a sandbox. I have to be able to see what it's doing on each individual page to make this work. 19:29, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
-::::::::Heh, I ''promise'' I"m not being deliberately difficult. '''This isn't a template'''. It's ''activated'' by template, but the ''behavior'' isn't controllable like a template is. Every page's table of contents is different, and every page has a different amount of text and pictures. As you yourself have discovered this thing therefore looks different on every page. It's not something that can just be faked on a sandbox. Really, it isn't. I'm sorry you feel I'm impinging on your ability to edit, but a) I'm not and b) there isn't a way to check this thing and '''be sure''' how it looks on live pages.

-::Heh, if we're going to be talking every five minutes, any chance you could include a link to your talk page on your signature? Anyway, it works on the NewTV pages, and on several old TV pages, because they ''don't'' have pictures up and down the page. You're saying it's standard that each episode has a picture, and I'm saying that's simply not true. That's what '''you've''' done in your editing. But that's certainly not a standard thing. And it never can be, because there are several dozen eps for which we don't have pics. Anyway, as you can tell, the TOC itself isn't causing the problem, it's the infobox.

-:::Okay, this isn't a "design". It's simply moving the contents over to the right. I'm not '''trying''' to prevent anything except for the nasty whitespace that unmodified TOC's bring. I'm really not trying to rain on your parade. I get your objections. Take a look at [[The Ribos Operation]] and tell me if you have a problem with the pic for the episode appearing in the ''body'' of the ep 1 text as opposed to the very top of it.
-:::And incidentally, no, not every episode of DW has telesnaps. You won't find something for every ep of ''Galaxy 4'' for instance. Basically, John Wiles fired John Cura, so for a lot of season 3, there's not an actual image from each ep. He was re-engaged by Innes Lloyd at ''The Gunfighters'', but wasn't around for episode 4 of "The Enemy of the World". By ''The Invasion'', he was gone for good, so therefore there's nothing from ''The Space Pirates'', apart from the lone surviving ep. Technically, we shouldn't have any pics on the pages for ''Mission to the Unknown'', ''The Myth Makers'' or ''The Massacre'', either, cause any images that survive are merely publicity stills, and therefore against our image policy. And there's nothing for episodes of ''DMP'', ''The Celestial Toymaker'', and ''The Regin of Terror'' which no longer exist.

-::::Heh, I'm still testing things. (Remember the 72 hours thing, O Impatient One? :) ) If I can't, in fact, make pictures float to the left of the infobox, the better solution is to simply improve the lead and synopsis sections so that the initial and never-illustrated text extends below the bottom of the infobox. That said, even before this change, the first picture should ''always'' have been put to the left, to visually balance the infobox. So if you're really itchin' for something to do, you could go and make the first pic in the body of each article justify left. On a typical four parter, with one pic per part, it should go "left-right-left-right", but on many pages it weirdly goes "right-left-right-left". And, in truth, the pics shouldn't actually be immediately under the episode subhead, but buried in the meat of the section, as at ''[[The Seeds of Doom]]''.

-Hey, we've touched on this before, but only peripheral to the whole caption discussion. I've just done an edit of the main body of ''[[The Keys of Marinus]]'' and I noted that either you or someone sympathetic to your position put all the pics in the plot section at 150px. For the life of me, I can't understand why, because it's only '''fractionally''' smaller than the default. I"ve put them back to default size. Could you fill me in on why you think it important to take the additional step of defining a size ''other'' than the one Wikia prefers?

+== Avatar ==
-:Cool. Thanks for the explanation. I thought I was missing something incredibly obvious. Still, I gotta press you a little bit here: why do you think it looks better than the default size? What about 150px is making you take the time to, in some cases, edit pages away from the default? I guess what I'm really getting at is that I have a valid technical reason for going for the default size. As skins change, wikia will have tested them for use with the default size. Thus the default size will change as either the user changes skin or wikia changes it on her. Specifically setting a size may not make for the best viewing in all skins. Do you have a rationale other than "it looks good in my browser on my computer using my current skin"?
