Hey, I brought [[CVE]] back from the dead because people ''will'' actually search for that. I mean I don't ''always'' remember what CVE means (rather depends on how recently I've watched season 18), so it's good to have it searchable. And it's not improper to link it in articles, either, as the acronym ''was'' used in-narrative. Please don't fall in the trap of believing that no links=reason to delete.  That's just not true.  There are some redirects that are made ''purely'' because people should be able to search for them — for instance, Hartnell episode names or common alternate names for behind the scenes personnel. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}

I am getting very confused :( [[User:Metardis|Metardis]] <sup>[[User talk:Metardis|talk to me]]</sup> 12:39, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
I created categories for Rassilon, Omega, Weevils, etc, basically recurring characters/enemies/species that should have stories categories (in my opinion). I though, by looking at the page that Terrible Zodin had appeared. My bad, it turns out he has not. I think a major look through of the articles to fix apperances and mentions  will need to be done in the near future...

==How to float==
Sorry, I was lost in Bot Control, so I didn't really answer your question usefull.  Here's a more thorough answer.
<div style="float:right; margin-left:10px; width:200px;border:1px dashed #2f2cba;padding:10px;">This text is floated to the right.  It doesn't have to be text. It could be a pic or anything you want to include in div tags.</div>
If I were to type:


'''<nowiki><div style="float:right;margin-left:10px; width:200px; border:1px dashed #2f2cba;padding:10px;">This text is floated to the right . . .</div></nowiki>'''
== Victory is yours ==
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.)  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}04:59: Thu&nbsp;03 Nov 2011&nbsp;</span>


I'd get something like what you see to the right.  Note that the text here wraps around our little box to the right. The "margin-left" command tells the system how far away to keep the text from the left edge of the box.  (We could put in margin-top -bottom and -right, if we wanted to.)  The "border:" command sets the nature of the border.  And the padding tells the box how much of an ''interior'' margin to set.  "10px" means we want the distance from the border to the interior text to be 10px.
== a bit funny ==


There are other ways you could set up the appearance of text wrapping, such as through a table with no visible borders.  And there are other commands that can ensure positioning of items to the left or right, such as the various "clear" commands. For additional reading, you may want to go to [[wikipedia:template:clear]], whose instructions neatly show the effects of clearing.  And you might be interested in [[wikipedia:Help:Table]].  You might also like this basic primer on floating at a non-wiki site (the code works out of the box on wikia wikis): http://www.elated.com/articles/css-floats/. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}

== Generic job (ep title) ==
== Image rules cheat card ==
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. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}05:44: Fri&nbsp;11 Nov 2011&nbsp;</span>


Let me just cut and paste what I said at [[user:mini-mitch]]'s page:<hr>I note that you've just deleted a lot of properly disambiguated generic character names — like Secretary (Frontier in Space) — on the basis that there's no other character at that name now.  Please stop deleting things on the basis that "nothing else of this name exists" or "nothing links here".  What you're failing to consider is that something else ''might'' link there in the future.  For instance, the category, [[:category:human secretaries|human secretaries]] and [[:category:secretaries]], implies that a generic article about the job of a secretary could easily be written.  More to the point, it's absolutely conceivable that another character named "secretary" could come along.  So the future-proofing of this article by naming it [[Secretary (Frontier in Space)]] has now been lost.  Just about ''any'' characters who take their name by their job title should be disambiguated so as to allow for the possibility of other characters similarly-named in the future.  There will be other thieves than the one at [[Thief (13 O'Clock)]] (and with the presence of Lady Christina, Rayne, and this new first Doctor companion that Big Finish are doing, there's a need for a generic article about thieves).  There might well be other cell guards, desk sergeant, cashier, car salesmen, and American sergeants in the future.  Indeed, there might '''already be''' such characters, '''but we just haven't written the article yet.'''  We only have 21K articles.  We're nowhere ''close'' to having an exhaustive catalogue of all characters in the DWU yet.  Please take the long view and allow room for us to grow our coverage, rather than ''creating'' work for people to undo later.<hr>Point immediately made with [[Waitress (Vincent and the Doctor)]].  He assumed there was no other waitress, but of course there was.  There's also [[Waitress (Random Shoes)]], but there's no article on that character yet.  He'd have figured it out, if he'd just bothered to search for "waitress 1".  That's a cool little trick.  The reason [[Peter]] is such a big article is because I searched for "Peter 1".  That reveals every page that has the name peter and the number 1 — which is a hell of a lot of pages.  That shakes all the red-linked names out of the tree, too.  Especially if you follow that with "Peter a".  Then you'll get ''everything''.  But it's simply a lot easier if you just ''always'' disambiguate generic title pages.  If there's a "desk sergeant" in 1970, there'll be another one 40 years later.  Or in a book somewhere.  Or in a comic.  We're simply nowhere close to a complete catalogue of characters, and it's arrogant in the extreme to just say, "Well, the [hairdresser]/[cell guard]/[thief]/[waitress]/[sergeant]/[cook] I'm looking at now ''must'' be the only one which exists in the DWU, or that there might not be a fascinating article that could be written ''about the job itself''.  Seriously, that doesn't allow us to grow at all.  For instance, it's good that [[nurse]] leads to a disambiguation, rather than to any one of the nurses we've seen.  That allows people who are not as familiar with DW as perhaps we are to find [[Curtis (Doctor Who)]] or [[Xanxia]] or [[Lythia]] or whoever they might be thinking of as a "nurse" without realizing they actually have a name.  I can easily see a utility in an article at [[thief]], [[sergeant]], [[corporal]], [[waitress]], [[secretary]] and tons of other generic title names.  Deleting properly disambiguated names on the mere basis of "I couldn't find any ''today''" is quite inimical to the basic goals of the wiki.  We should be making information super-easy to find, not making it so that you have to be an expert in DW to find stuff. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}

All I want is for it to display the full date (i.e. 20th century - 21st century).

== Images by story categories ==
Please be aware that [[:category:images by televised story|images by televised story]] and [[:category:images by comic story|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 (comic story)|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 (TV story)|The Mind of Evil]]'', please ensure it gets into [[:Category:The Mind of Evil TV story images]].


Nope sorry. That's why I never created the pages for them after I created [[Linda (Random Shoes)|Linda]]. My plan was to watch the episode in the near future, so that the page could be created with even a sentence. [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]\[[User talk:Mini-mitch|talk]] 20:31, February 14, 2011 (UTC)
These [[:category:images by story|images by story]] categories are, of course, ''in addition'' to any other categories which may be appropriate, such as ones from  [[:category:Images by character|Images by character]], [[:category:Images by object|Images by object]], or [[:category:images by species|images by species]].
==Company names==
Company names are rarely italicized in full.  Well, never, in fact.  In very high and antiquated form, they can sometimes be ''partially'' italicized if the name is based on something that would've been italicized.  For instance, if there were a company based on Doctor Who, then it would be '''The ''Doctor Who'' Company'''.  (Actually, if memory serves, that ''is'' the technical legal name of the "legal shield" production company that protects BBC Wales from lawsuits.)  It's indeed quite common for there to be production companies based on the name of the thing they're producing.  The company that produces ''Outcasts'', for instances is named '''Film Afrika Fourteen — Outcasts (Pty) Ltd.'''  Technically, ''Outcasts'' should be italicized in this case.  They almost never are, because the emphasis in a copyright tag is to get the letters/spelling/punctuation precisely right, and they don't often mess with style on screen, especially with TV credits.  It'd be surprising on their letterhead, however — which of course we're never going to see — if they didn't do something stylistically around the word "Outcasts".


All of which is a terribly longwinded way to say "no".  The [[Happy Cook]] is the [[Happy Cook]].  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
[[:category:Images by story|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.   


== Erm... ==
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:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}02:37: Mon&nbsp;20 Feb 2012&nbsp;</span>


It's not really about a matter of age, but it used for era we see them in i.e we see Eugene in both the 20th and 21st centuries, so he gets both. the Waitress, was only seen in the 21st century, so she only gets 21st century put next to home era. It's very unclear what 'Home Era' means, but it should be changed to Era active (or something similar), which would mean the Era written down is the era(s) we see them in.

::If you were to read [[Forum:Home Era|this]], it says that Home Era should be changed, to something like Era active, which would be the century we see them in. As you said in that argument, it would overload the infobox if we put the century they were born in. We don't know a character's past, so to put in another 'Home Era', rather than one we don't see them in would be to speculate. The infobox is a basic summary of the article. If that person was in a story that took place in the 21st century, that's their home era, in the case of Random Shoe, we don't see these people in the part that takes place during the 20th century, so we can't add it, if we did, then we could.

Hey, I've noticed you've been occasionally changing my indications of particular incarnation numbers (third Doctor, for instance) into just "the Doctor".  I know there was a time where that was encouraged around here, because people (rather erroneously) thought it was somehow out of universe.  But now that ''The Lodger'' has actually had the Doctor referring to himself as "the eleventh", and ''Death to the Doctor'' has had the Doctor say "every Doctor, every me", it's pretty clear that the terms, "the second Doctor" or "the seventh Doctor" are actually perfectly valid, in-universe terms — even if your only frame of reference is the TV series.  And it helps people who don't know as much about the DWU as we admins to actually include the incarnation number.  If you've come to ''Doctor Who'' via the Matt Smith era, you won't know that it was the fifth Doctor who traveled with Nyssa and Tegan, for instance, so it's helpful to have that incarnation number in the visible text. 
== [[Forum:Timeline - The Master]] ==


Why did people get bees in their bonnets about using the incarnation numbers in the first place?  I don't really know.  As far back as at least ''The Five Doctors'', it was clear that the Doctor did think in terms of numbering himselves, though there the fifth and first Doctors were counting regenerations, as opposed to incarnations.  And ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'' really ''must'' use the incarnation numbers to tell the story. I know a lot of people don't '''like''' ''The Eight Doctors'', but it does at least enshrine the use of "nth Doctor" in canon.  And that book was published long before this wiki ever started.  So why we were ever tip-toeing around the use of the terminology is baffling to me. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}

Nah, it's a good enough temporary pic.  No need for a re-upload of the the wider shot.  I think my revision note referred to the fact that I was hoping that somewhere there was a better representation of the country than a deliberately aged photograph. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
==Named Hartnell episodes==
Please do not change citations from specific Hartnell episodes to more generalized serial names.  This is an insensible reduction of the accuracy of citations.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}


:It's not a "system". It's accuracy. Dodo's not in ''[[The Massacre]]''; that's completely misleading.  She's in the last two minutes of "[[Bell of Doom]]".  Similarly, it would be completely wrong to say Donald Tosh wrote ''The Massacre'', when he's only (apparently) credited on "Bell of Doom".  I've been citing specific episodes for a long time, so long as that information is specific to an '''episode'''.
== Knew I Was Forgetting Something... ==


:Of course, there's not ''much'' information that ''is'' episode specific.   But the fact that "no one else does it" is hardly an argument for me to stop.  If every single thing around here depended upon "the majority", this place would be considerably less organized than it is.  The general level of spelling and grammar around here is fairly low, as I'm sure you've seen.  If we took a vote on narrow grammatical issues, I'm ''sure'' we'd find that some of the most basic English rules would be overturned by "the majority".  I know this is going to sound terribly posh and arrogant, but the majority doesn't always produce the best rules, especially when it comes to the narrow, technical issues that are the essential glue of the wiki.  As is one of the central tenets of Wikipedia, ''[[wikipedia:wikipedia:What is consensus?#Not a majority vote|consensus is not the result of a majority vote]]''. Sure, there are some very arbitrary things where a vote is good enough, but by and large, majorities can't overrule good sense or established rules of grammar.  If twenty people logged in today and started the argument, "We should be able to call the First Doctor 'the Hartnell Doctor' in in-universe articles", would you allow their voice to change the MOS?  Would you allow a vote of 25 '''for''' to 3 '''against''' to change the name of ''Frontios'' to ''The One Where Turlough Teases Tegan''?    Of course you wouldn't.  Likewise, I don't care ''what'' the vote is:  Dodo appeared in "Bell of Doom", and there's no reasonable cause for an encyclopedia, whose goal is accuracy, to say she was in ''The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve''.
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.


:But back to this point, specifically.  You'll find that the MOS allows for the use of episodic names, so long as they redirect to the serial (see [[tardis:Manual of Style#Naming of articles]], point 6). {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}

==Short story==
{{Christmas greetings}}
According to my review of the history of the template, the infobox has never had the "enemy" field. No biggie though.  It's been used on between 500-1000 pages and nobody's noticed this.  Must indicate just how infrequently people fully write short story pages that no one in all this time has cared. I'd advise you just put in the field. It won't show up just yet, but I'm going to be collapsing all these infoboxes together anyway. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
 
==Handle==
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]]
The text of the article makes the very point you just did. And it ''is'' a working door ... to the telephone, as we see functional in ''The Empty Child''. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
 
:I understand your reluctance, but, not to put too fine a point on it, you ''are'' wrong. Here's the definition of "door" from the OAD:
==Page: Virtor==
::a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard.
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.
:Doors are definitely not just to rooms.  Besides which, as we see in the very first episode of the new series, you can push both doors open by putting your hands where the handles are. That's how Rose first enters the TARDIS. So, if you pull on the left handle, you'll open the phone cubbyhole.  If you push on it, you'll open the ''whole'' door. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
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.

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.

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.

== Gaffabeque vs Gaffbeque ==
 
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 (TV story)|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,

== Re: Transit and Mechanic ==
 
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. -- [[User:Freddie R. Aldous|Freddie R. Aldous]] [[User talk:Freddie R. Aldous|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:06, November 3, 2014 (UTC)

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.

Knew I Was Forgetting Something...[[edit source]]

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.

Howdy :)[[edit source]]

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,

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) --76.18.94.220talk 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

LEGO Dimensions[[edit source]]

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)
