==Table of contents shift==
== Hey! ==
Heya, just wanted to drop a note on your page about why I reverted ''your'' reversion of my changes to the various infoboxes.  The moving of the TOC to the right is to help avoid the huge masses of white space that can occur on pages with long tables of content, like episode pages.  I've spent the last couple of days examining the wiki on a page by page basis to determine whether it is, as you've alleged in your revision notes, making "all the pages" look bad.  And that's certainly not the case in the various skins and browsers I've examined.  The matter will of course be put up for discussion at the forum, so you'll have a chance to participate then, perhaps as soon as today.  Because this change behaves in a highly individualistic way — every page looks different — I just wanted to be able to study it before proposing the change be made permanent.  I hope you understand that the matter can't be properly considered by the community at large unless you leave the change in place until the discussion is closed.  Thanks :)  '''[[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>]] 16:50, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

:Just to follow up on one of your revision notes, this is not an issue which could have been tested on some sandbox before "going live" on the site.  It's not actually a new template, over which the coder can have precise control.  It's simply the moving of the TOC, which is different on every page, to the right-hand side of the page.  It must be observed as a "live" feature in order to fairly assess its performance.  And as for "site staff", I have no idea what you mean.  ''We'' '''are''' the site staff.

::One of the fundamental rules of wiki editing is the concept of [[wikipedia:wikipedia:Bold|being bold]].  Unlike Wikipedia, however, we don't have a "staff" here, so much as three or four active admins.  Unless people actually grab the bull by the horns and change things, nothing gets done.  That said, I am a big proponent of putting things up for community discussion.  It's just that this particular change has to be seen to be discussed intelligently.

:::Hi again :)  Look, it's no big thing, but you might want to be careful throwing around a word like "vandalism".  Especially since my changes were annotated in the revision history. And since it's obvious I've been carrying on conversations with other users about this change.  Vandalism doesn't mean "a change I don't like".  It means the intentional changing of an article in an unconstructive way, such as blanking it, filling it with irrelevant text, the addition of advertising, or the like.  This is an effort to ''improve'' the text flow of articles.  You may not like the way it looks, but that doesn't make it vandalism, a very serious charge.  It has already been examined and commented upon by [[user:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]], who has accepted that it must be examined "live" on pages.  If you look at the history of my nearly 15,000 contributions, I think you'll find it extremely unlikely that I'd intentionally commit an act of vandalism.  I'd appreciate it if you assumed I was editing in good faith — just as I believe that your reversion was done in good faith, if without understanding fully what was going on.  '''[[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>]] 17:48, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

== Speculation ==
 
Speculation is where a user makes predictions about what things mean with nothing to back it up. What is on the Howling halls page is relevant information that is sourced using all available material in the story. [[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revanvolatrelundar]] 17:15, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Lol, so polite. But no. Lets just see what Mr. Duel has to say, he may take your side :) --[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 17:48, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 
== Note ==
 
Jenny is an "In-universe article" - which mean is the info something the Doctor Who universe, all that information should be one after the other (eg.g Biography, personality, see also). Behind the scenes should go at the end because it is "out of universe" which means is information from the real world. It is easier to have everything that is on and in-universe page to have everything in-universe together to starts the page, and the behind the scenes, the only out of universe section in the in-universe article, to come last.
 
Also note, that an admin added the bit of information on the Howling Halls to stop this edit war. I would view there comments on the talk page, as it suggest User who have edit may be blocked. [[User:Mini-mitch |Mini-mitch]] 19:58, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 
I agree with the above.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 20:00, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 
::I refer you to [[Tardis:Guide to writing Individuals articles|this]]. This states that all additional sub headings, expect footnotes and External links should come before Behind the scenes. I would also like to say that Tangerineduel made it himself. [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]] 20:05, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 
:::The heading 'Additional sub-headings'. Now, if there is not section in that article about See also, that may suggest that See also is grouped as additional sub-headings (even although it does not say, you your common sense). [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]] 20:20, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 
== See Also ==
 
I do see that you are right on this occassion. however the see also section does belong above behind the scenes as it is in-universe where as behind the scenes is out of universe and should be seperated accordingly. I will raise the issue on the forum. [[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revanvolatrelundar]] 20:04, January 5, 2011 (UTC)


== Hi ==
Yeah, I've been busy over the summer, and now that college has started up again, I still don't have much time to devote to this.

Please stop ruining this wiki. You’re obviously wrong if everything you do is reverted. This wiki is meant for positive editing. You are a new user (sort of); you do not know what you're doing so people gave you some slack. You took the mick, stop please.

Regeneration is death. It's a way of cheating death, but it is death. The body dies and then new cells grow in it's place. but death happen first. When the Fifth Doctor dies and then becomes the Sixth, he dies. It is the same thing. Sorry to take such a depressing take on all of it, but regeneration ''is'' death. And "Death" is a much better header than "Regeneration", particuarly as every Doctor regenerated twice in his life. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 01:44, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
: Besides that point, the Doctor only ''changes'' when he dies. Regeneration is a way to avoid death, but only by means of rejuvenation. When the Seventh Doctor was killed in that hopsital he died. Then he regenerated. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 03:15, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
:: No, he became a stiff. He died. The word "death" has been used multiple time in regeneration stories; including ''[[The Caves of Androzani (TV story)|The Caves of Androzani]]''. Regeneration is the process of being reborn after death. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 04:04, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
::: As the Tenth Doctor said in ''The End of Time'', "Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away...and I'm dead." Even if he just changes and goes on, it's still death in a way. ''Everything I am dies.'' The Tenth Doctor, by definition, is now dead. Now we have the Eleventh. But the Tenth is still dead. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 04:33, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
:::: The proplem here is that every Doctor has two regenerations. Putting a section called "Regeneration" on the Tenth Doctor's page, for example, could refer to either ''Parting of The Ways'' or ''The End of Time''. And the death sections on the the [[Third Doctor]]'s page are a must-keep. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 05:07, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
No, no it wouldn't. Sorry to be so nnegative, but "Death" is frankly more interesting and accurate than "Regeneration", and if a fan truly doesn't understand that regeneration is coming back after death than that's not our proplem. We shouldn't structure pages off of the ideals of new fans; if we did we'd be wiping all pre-2005 info off the map. "Death" is a better and less confusing header than "Regeneration". [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 05:44, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
: Yeah, a forum discussion is best for this one; over wheather the Doctor dies and is ressurected or if he simply "changes". Czech would prop def pull out some sources from books and we could come to a consensus. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 22:09, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
:: Might as well move it to the forum. Make the question over whether regeneration is "changing-pre-death" or "rejuvination-post-death". I feel like Czech can get us some quick sources. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 19:35, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


So when Tangerineduel backed our action to keep the Howling Halls as it was WE were breaking the rules bby upholding that ruling?
== Spoiler question ==
:What are you talking about? He just voted to keep the page, so the page is kept. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 20:19, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
Yours is a good question. I had to hunt about on the spoiler policy page before I could find any mention of story titles. I finally found it under "Official Info", where it says, "What, then, do we do with information that comes from a reputable source like the BBC itself? We use it only on the series page. It cannot be used elsewhere. The three biggest types of "official" info are story titles, casting information, and the odd leak of in-universe information."


== Cold Star ==
So under normal circumstances, an upcoming story title can go on the related series page. It's just that the 50th anniversary special and the Christmas special are not considered part of series 7 or 8, so there is no place to list their titles before their releases (except of course at the Howling).


Why did your edit involve adding a line of nothing at the bottom of the page? Also, the badly written sentence above was not me.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 18:35, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

:Not sure it's quite as hard to find as Shambala makes out. It's covered at [[T:SPOIL DEF]], which defines a spoiler as "''any'' information about an unbroadcast or unreleased story".  A title would be part of "''any'' information".  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 16:23: Mon 23 Dec 2013</span>

It was at the end of the Page, how is that useful. It is not against policy, just an enquiry. Remember to reply to Users on their talk pages. They can easily see when you have replied.

I hope I didn't make a mistake with the external link.  I can only open one page at a time on my computer, so I have to read, close, and go back and work. If I am in error I will do my best not to repeat it.

Hi.  Story pages are out of universe.  This has been confirmed time and time again through ''several'' rounds of forum discussion, stretching back years. The lead sections are completely appropriate.  Please do not move the leads that I've been painstakingly writing.

== The Gift ==
:Just to clarify, that means the entirety of story page are real world.  See, for instance, the appropriate tag up at ''[[The Mind of Evil]]''.  Leads, therefore are there to give an overview of the entire significance of a serial.  '''[[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>]] 01:54, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
::On what basis do you judge the lead too long?  How did you decide which parts to remove and which parts to keep.  You just randomly chopped certain paragraphs.  What's important to you in the lead may not be important to others.  The lead was designed to accommodate the interests of a wide variety of readers.  In sum, the lead didn't offend ''any'' rule on the wiki, so you have no grounds to hack it up.  Yhid is an unusually long lead because ''Hive'' stands at the gateway of a new era of ''Doctor Who''.  It deserves the extra space.  Clearly you and I have different views on this.  Let's not get into an edit war.  Let's restore my original lead text and have it discussed by the wider community.  You know, like you're ''supposed'' to do on a wiki.  '''[[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>]] 02:09, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Per [[T:BOUND]], just because you disagree with policy, doesn't mean you can ignore it. You can't simply declare it "invalid". As such I'm going to be enforcing [[Thread:149557]] on the relevant pages, and if you would like to [[T:CHANGE|change policy]], you can bring it up at [[Board:The Panopticon]].

Leave the Howling Halls page '''ALONE''' until we come to an agreement, this goes for [[Rassilon's Final Solution]] page as well. If no agreement is reached, then ask other User for their opinion until we get to one. Otherwise, it should stay as it is.

Welcome to the

• Bold Clone •

Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.

British English, please

We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.

Spoilers aren't cool

We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.

Other useful stuff

Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.

It's just that the 50th anniversary special and the Christmas special are not considered part of series 7 or 8, so there is no place to list their titles before their releases (except of course at the Howling).

Not sure it's quite as hard to find as Shambala makes out. It's covered at T:SPOIL DEF, which defines a spoiler as "any information about an unbroadcast or unreleased story". A title would be part of "any information".

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!

I hope I didn't make a mistake with the external link. I can only open one page at a time on my computer, so I have to read, close, and go back and work. If I am in error I will do my best not to repeat it.

Re:Quick question[[edit source]]

Hi! I've added a response to your and User:Mewiet's discussion at my talk page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 14:23, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

In order to stop Shambala getting pinged every single time one of you responds, I've moved the matter to the neutral ground of Thread:158757.

The Gift[[edit source]]

Per T:BOUND, just because you disagree with policy, doesn't mean you can ignore it. You can't simply declare it "invalid". As such I'm going to be enforcing Thread:149557 on the relevant pages, and if you would like to change policy, you can bring it up at Board:The Panopticon.

Page moves[[edit source]]

Hi! Please note that, per Thread:128198, only admins are allowed to move pages. By moving Pond Life (webcast) to Pond Life (TV story), you've left behind a redirect that will take some time to clean up. In the future, if something needs to be renamed/moved, please just add a rename tag. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 02:05, September 15, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Prologue[[edit source]]

Hi! I don't know the answer to your question (I haven't even seen the story yet), but I will start a forum page to see what other users can tell us. Shambala108 ☎ 02:37, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
