== [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cyberman]] continued ==
== DWM ==


To answer questions you left yesterday, I think [[User:Dalekcaan14|Dalekcaan14]] is probably not expressing himself fully.  Whatever is at the core of what he's trying to convey probably is true, because he's studied the scene too many times for him to be just making it up.  That's why he needs to start a discussion on the page.  As it was last worded in the history, I'm obviously with you and Revan:  it doesn't make much sense.  But, again, he made a good faith edit that, in its current wording, is incorrect.  That's not vandalism.
Where Can i find The sixth doctors{{Unsigned|CharmeRuler}}


As for the "not wanting him to voice his opinion" bit, well, I'm of course not saying that you ever ''prevented'' — or even ''threatened'' to prevent — him from talking.  And you did a good thing by at least explaining to him why you were editing a substantial part of his contribution away. I suppose what I'm saying is that I haven't yet seen genuine discussion about his edits.  It ''started'' well enough, with you enumerating why you didn't agree with what he wrote, but then that was sorta the end of it. You'd made up your mind and dug in, he was equally frustrated with you, and the perfect storm brewed for an edit war.  There was never a phase where we got to ask questions like, "What do you mean, exactly?" and "Could you explain that point a little more?"  And, believe me, I ''understand'' why the conversation didn't go on those lines.  You totally believed the information was just junk — there wasn't any question of that in your mind — and so you were bending over backwards to leave him even ''that'' message.  And 90% of the time, that would've been '''fine'''.  If it was junk, the user who added it would've just rolled over and likely not responded to your explanation.  But this time, Dalekcaan14 is just a little too determined to simply write off this stuff as "bad information">   
== Yh rite ==


In fact, he's posted to my page now, insisting again that his interpretation is right. Users who are intentionally putting bad information on a page don't do that, not after being reverted several times, then blocked. Somewhere in this paragraph is a truth that we can't see yet.  I've encouraged him to start a proper discussion on the talk page, rather than these bilateral discussions on user talk pages.  Hopefully he'll do it and we can ask the sort of questions that might shake his truth out of the trees. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''12:47:10 Fri&nbsp;'''15 Apr 2011&nbsp;</span>

I've unblocked [[User:TheArtistBox]]. There was no reason to block him. I was hardly a personal attack, and like [[User:CzechOut]] said to me [[User talk:Mini-mitch/Archive Talk 4#Blocking on the basis of tardis:no personal attacks|here]], you should have got another admin involved if you though he deserved a block, which was a bit unfair considering he aimed nothing directly at you. It's also a bit unfair to block in the middle of a forum discussion, if it gets really bad, I will block him for you, middle of a discussion or not; but to block them in the middle of a discussion, for an indirect comment was a bit harsh. ". If someone attacks you, please go to another admin to seek blocking. Otherwise, it'll easily be construed as a distasteful abuse of power. Admins, in any case, should have thicker skin about such matters" as CzechOut said to me. [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]\[[User talk:Mini-mitch|talk]] 21:38, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

== The Impossible Astronaut ==
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.

I have no idea why you reverted the plot back to a way earlier version. I am sorry if that's because me calling reverters stupid but here I am really frustrated because that takes out a lot of effort that I put into the plot line.

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>

== Removal From "The Silence" ==
== 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>

== Hi! ==
Hi Skittles! I am asking if it is alright to make you a nominee for a [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Content_Team/Featured_Wikians/ featured wikian] (me asking)? '''[[User:Metardis|<span style="background:gold;color:green">!Ṃ'ě</span>]][[User Talk:Metardis|<span style="background:green;gold">'ṭ'á'ṛ</span>]][[|<span style="background:gold;color:green">đ'ί</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Metardis|<span style="background:green;color:gold">'Ṣ'! </span>]]<span style="background:gold;color:green">{{#time: [[Y]]}} <span style="background:green;color:gold">{{#time: D}} <span style="background:gold;color:green">at <span style="background:green;color:gold">{{#time: a G: i}}</span></span></span></span>'''

Monsters created by [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Steven_Moffat Steven Moffat] are usually designed to make something mundane and everyday into something terrifying (stone statues, gas masks, shadows). In one sense, The Silence stray from this pattern because they are distinctly alien-looking, with large, bulbous heads and elongated fingers. In other ways, The Silence stay with the pattern of turning the mundane into the terrifying in that they wear human-style suits and ties, and are said to be responsible for that "something in the corner of your eye, a creaking in your house, or voices through a wall" ([http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/DW DW]: [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=The_Day_of_the_Moon&action=edit&redlink=1 Day of the Moon]) which are everyday occurrences that humans experience.

== 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]].


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]].


Can you explain to me why you think this is speculative? It's observation and analysis, which is all over this wiki, and is not at all speculative.
[[: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.


[[User:Truthbealiar|Truthbealiar]] 00:05, April 26, 2011 (UTC)
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>

==Background==
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.

I can see it all, though the moon's edge is right on the browser's edge.  


Though that said, I have text / page zoomed up quite large so the edit area occupies most of the space. The other Stetson background was cut off in a similar way.
== Cyberman ==


I think similarly themed backgrounds, with some learning along the way should be a direction to go until we work out what's best. As we add and use different images we should be able to come up with a list of things that don't work (tiled colourful images) and what does work (from what we've used so far and other wikis; light or dark colours). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:21, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
I replaced your image at [[Cyberman]] with [[:File:Cybermen comparrison.jpg|this]], due to the fact that [[:File:Cybermen variants.jpg]] is half-publicity photo. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 20:25, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

:We could have things like an image across the top of, with the rest of the image a colour. The Harry Potter wiki used to do this, they've changed it recently, but it used to be the turrets of Hogwarts across the top, with the rest of the image black. We could do something like that but with some large landscape shot matched to a colour or something. I'm not really sure, as I said it's a bit of a learning process as we work through this. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:34, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

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.

Tomorrow does seem best. I really like the backgrounds so far, I had no idea you were making them, I assumed it was CzechOut. Perhaps when the series is over you could design backgrounds for each TARDIS theme e.g. classic (done), gothic, coral, steampunk and then we can alternate them each week/month? --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 19:55, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Just another suggestion, for times when we are having trouble getting a new background up or we remove one for whatever reason, we could have a police box theme with the door and everything, just as a backup. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 20:05, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
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,

Hi Skittles the hog,


== [[:File:Regenerating.png]] ==
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.


Why isn't that picture showing the picture with the little girl's face despite me uploading that version multiple times! It keeps on insisting on showing the older version on the articles <font face="Kristen ITC" color="Green">[[:wikipedia:User:Tyw7#p|''Tyw7'']]</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;([[:wikipedia:User:Tyw7/t|☎ Contact me!]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Tyw7|Contributions]]) &nbsp;&nbsp;''Changing the world one edit at a time!'' 14:46, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
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]].

::According to the protection log, you changed the protection level on this article to sysop-only editing without explanation, and you set the duration for an extremely long six months. I'm a little concerned that you've taken this step without leaving a revision note to explain things, or even selecting a protection reason from the drop-down menu.  Any time a main character's page is locked to editing, it's really important to leave an explanation so that ''every'' editor can '''plainly''' understand what the lock is trying to accomplish.  There are some angry editors on the talk page whose concerns are quite reasonable.  And you've not posted to the talk page since you instituted the block, unless you've been posting as an IP user.  And there's no forum post about it that I can find.  So, as far as I can see, there's no easily-accessible discussion ''anywhere'' about why you've taken this action.


::There is, though, a message from Revan. But it's saying that the block is going to be lifted in a matter of days, not months. And he cites "speculation" (and vandalism, but he offers no specifics on either) as a cause. But this is the important thing.  It's not ''his'' name people will see when the system stops them from editing article. It's ''yours''. So it's all very confused ''from the average user's perspective''.

::Frankly, you'd need a ''hell'' of a good reason to block editing of a high-profile article like this. Fine, lock it from ''moves''. But from ''all'' editing? For six months?  Imagine if [[user:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] had done that to you when you weren't an admin.  Would you have been happy with that?  Even if your point is ''not'' to block editing for six months — and I don't think it actually is — it ''looks'' that way.  And people are gonna wonder, as can already be seen on the talk page, what the hell is going on.

::It's really important to consider what a full block on a main character page looks like to the average user. This ''looks'' like we're being arbitrary and capricious and a bit disorganised.  It's creating resentment against the admin staff, as evidenced by articulate responses on the talk page from IP editors calling us "Pedant Police" for "freezing" the article in such a way that other points of view aren't allowed.

::I'm sure you don't mean for ''any'' of this to happen.  I gather from searching through talk pages that you were just trying to help Revan ''actually'' lock the page, since he was trying to do it by just placing {{tl|lock}}.  But at this point, original intent is sadly irrelevant. What matters now is the way it looks, and it ''looks'' iffy at best. There are at least three registered editors who got pissed off by this blocking, who would have been of good use in keeping the article well-edited, and served as a counterweight to any "vandalism" that Revan alleged.

:::Please read '''my''' ''entire'' post before saying I haven't fully tried to understand '''you'''.  I '''know''' you were acting at Revan's behest.  I know you probably didn't intend it to be a six month block.  But I'm talking about the way it '''looks''', not what you intended.  And while I don't claim "protection perfection" — I have ''once'' locked a story page incorrectly because I got confused as to the date of publication — I've ''never'' locked a page in the immediate wake of the broadcast of an episode.  And I've never seen [[user:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] fully lock any page in the main namespace, except in the case of an edit war. It took me a ''long'' time to write the above message and investigate what happened '''because you didn't leave a protection reason'''.  And you know when you lock a page, you really should be leaving a note behind.  '''Expecially when you have no clear cause to lock this page under [[tardis:protection policy]].''' 
 
:::Of course, the evidence suggests you weren't locking the page on merit.  You've made no significant contributions to [[Talk:River Song]] since the airing of the episode.  You didn't start a forum post about issues with the River Song page.  So the only clue as to your actions was on Revan's talk page.  You were apparently locking it ''simply'' because Revan had put up the {{tl|lock}} template.  That is not a good reason to lock a page, ''and that's why there is no explanation in the revision notes''.  I don't think you ''have'' a substantive explanation.
 
:::And we owe it to our users to give clear explanations for unusual administrative moves.  A user '''shouldn't have to''' go to Revan's page and your page and the talk page to piece together the answer to a very simple question:  why was [[River Song]] locked?  An average user isn't going to know to do that.  They're not going to even care that much.  They're going to say, "These losers have blocked River Song the day after we found out she was Amy's kid.  I want to write about this ''now'', while I'm thinking about.  Not six months from now.  This is a ''stupid'' wiki.  I'm outta here."
 
:::Look, no one is going to be perfect in their use of their administrative powers.  But [[River Song]] is a high-profile page.  People will think that the way we deal with that page, and those of the other main characters, represents general policy on the wiki.  If this were [[Jailer (The Reign of Terror)]], I don't think I'd be here talking to you.  But how much access we give other editors on our highest-traffic pages in the aftermath of televised episodes matters to whether we attract and retain new editors.  Without new editors, the wiki dies.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''16:21:11 Thu&nbsp;'''09 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>

::No, Skittles, I ''am'' getting it.  This is what I've been saying since my first post.  You didn't have an actual reason to lock this article.  You locked one of the most active pages on the wiki ''without knowing why you were doing it''.  You just did it because you thought Revan needed help with the ''technical function of protection''.  It doesn't appear that you thought for a moment whether it was ''right'' to lock the page. And that's what I'm having a problem with.  I don't see how this page fell foul of ''any'' policy.  Revan claims "speculation" (which isn't a reason for page ''locking'') and also vandalism (but I don't see it in the page history).  Neither thing is really something for which full page locking is an appropriate response. You handle those by preventing IP editing and by addressing individual vandals, not by preventing ''registered'' editors from editing the page just at the moment we ''want'' them to.  Blocking like this has ''never'' been done before.  Despite the fact that River Song is a mysterious character whose every appearance ''always'' leaves plenty of room for speculation, we've '''never''' locked her page, or that of any major character.    And it's stopped [[River Song]] from being one of the hottest pages on all of Wikia.  Instead, it's turned [[Talk:River Song]] into a place of moderate activity, mostly in the form of justified complaints.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''17:23:08 Thu&nbsp;'''09 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>
 
:::Don't force on you the rules of the wiki?  You're an admin.  That's precisely is supposed to be "forced" on you.  You ''have'' to be able to make an accounting of your actions according to the rules.  I'm not forcing an ''opinion'' on you.  I'm asking you to specify exactly what happened on that page — not what ''might'' have happened on the page, not what happened on similar pages — to warrant you locking the page.  It's a reasonable question because a) we've never done anything similar and b) you didn't give a protection reason when you protected the page.  Also, I've just checked [[tardis:vandalism policy]] and the word "speculation" doesn't appear.  Which is a good thing, because several forum threads have been utterly unable to come up with a definition for "speculation".  If there's an opinion here, it's that vandalism=speculation. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''18:23:13 Thu&nbsp;'''09 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>
 
::Nah, I'm not angry at anyone other than myself for my inability to communicate what seems an obvious truth.  Lemme try another path.  The vandalism policy defines what vandalism is on the wiki.  Speculation is ''never'' mentioned on that page.  It ''can't'' be vandalism because we as a community have never agreed on a definition of the word ''speculation''.  (See [[forum:Speculation - What is and what isn't?]] and [[forum:hypothesis and speculation]].)  It stands to reason that you can't have a rule against that which you've never been able to define. 
 
::So no, to answer your question, speculation is '''not''' vandalism.  That's not an opinion, because it can be definitively proved that the vandalism policy in no way mentions or addresses speculation.
 
::You seem to feel that I care about you following my opinion, but I'm not offering an opinion.  Well, not unless you're going to claim that "our policies and established traditions must govern our actions" is an opinion.  You can't fully shut down page editing without that page meeting criteria established by our policies. What you've consistently said is  "the reason was only/purely/just to assist Revan" and "I protected it ''for'' Revan".  That's not a valid reason under any policy we currently have. Therefore you had no cause to lock it.  You certainly had no cause to lock it for six months, especially when your intent was only to lock it for a day or so.  And while I'm on the subject, why ''would'' you lock it for six months if you only meant to lock it for a day?  I don't get that at all. 
 
::You seem to be overly concerned about how it appears ''to me'', and it doesn't matter ''to me'' what you do to the page.  I can edit the page regardless of what you do to it. I'm thinking of the average user.  There's a case right now on the talk page that breaks my heart.  Here's a new editor who spent a lot of time writing up a change, they hit "publish", and — wham! — they see that the page was locked by some guy named '''Skittles the hog'''.  This Skittles person left behind no explanation of why he'd prevented further editing, and he locked it until bloody November!  The cheek of the guy!  Now, luckily, ''this'' editor bothered to persevere and write something on the talk page.  But how many other editors are in the same boat but ''didn't'' bother writing on the talk page?    Yeah, we ''might'' have protected against some bad-faith edits.  But we also prevented some editors getting emotionally invested in the article, who could then have helped us police it.
 
::Just to be clear: I'm not mad at you.  I don't think you did anything malicious.  I think you don't have any true emotional involvement in this case at all.  You were just trying to help out a fellow admin who didn't seem to understand how protection was put onto a page.  Noble enough.  In fact, you might be thinking why I'm spendin' so much time writin' to you on this subject since it wasn't even your idea to lock the page in the first place.  Thing is, though, your name is on the lock.  So what I'm asking you to do is to look at the ''obvious'' fallout on the talk page.  Consider for the future whether it actually makes sense to stop all editing on an extremely popular page in the wake of one of the bigger character revelations in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' history. Trust the wiki process to eventually produce a reasonable version of the page.  Consider whether it makes sense for admins to be in the position of being the gatekeepers on an in-universe article.  And, what's more work?  Performing the occasional rollback, or reading through a talk page and deciding what can go into the article and what can't?   
 
::Protecting — or, if you like, semi-protecting — a page is like building a tiny li'l dog fence around a garden and not even locking the gate.  It's annoying to have to open the gate if you've got your arms full of groceries, but it'll keep your dog from running away.  Which is a good thing.  Locking — or full protection — is like the old hillbilly who sits on his front porch with his shotgun saying, "Take a step towards my daughter.  I ''double'' dare ya."  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''01:33:12 Fri&nbsp;'''10 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>

== Featured articles ==
 
I have ''tons'' of thoughts on featured articles.  To save myself the bother of retyping them, I'll direct you to [[forum:Feature Articles]] and [[forum:Nominations for featured articles]],  where I outlay a number of specific objections to the way the process works. (Yes, the threads are from long ago, but things haven't changed much since then.)
 
Basically, though, I think we have the wrong end of the stick on what a featured article is.  We tend to view it as merely "an article that a few people like", rather than one that actually represents our best work.  We're saying to people, in a lot of cases, that this half-finished article is "featured".  Frankly, I'm pretty embarrassed by the general quality of the kind of articles that we put up on the front page as "featured".  I think we should have minimum quality standards that any featured article must meet.  But I argued all this years ago and was generally ignored, so I moved on to other things.
 
Also, as you know, you created the first featured star template and then, when the above discussions made it clear we weren't talking about genuine "featured articles" in the wikipedia/woookieepedia/memoryalpha sense, we changed the name to {{tl|featured spotlight star}}.  Then I put some work in on the concept, turned it into a transparent version of Adric's star, and then it was all deleted last year.  I refer you to [[template talk:featured spotlight star]] for the discussion that killed it.
 
I think my feelings since 2010 have moved a little bit more to conclusion than they were.  Then, I was ambivalent, now I'm firmly against the star concept (even though I thought my graphic was kinda cool). 
 
What I want are ''genuine'' featured articles, not just "here's something to look at on the front page".  I'm not asking for perfection.  I just want ''some'' sense that when we put an article up on the front page, it's a good ''example'' of the kind of writing we're looking for.  Some of these story pages, for example, have gone up as semi-skeletons, with whole sections missing. 
 
So I'm now '''strongly opposed''' to this whole featured star concept. I don't think we should put  a badge of excellence on these articles that formerly appeared on the front page.  There's no guarantee that they deserved such distinction in the first place, and there's certainly no mechanism in place to ensure that they're going to maintain any standards after they leave the front page. 
 
Just putting them in a category is fine.  All we're really doing by categorising them is making sure we don't pick the same article again.  Frankly, though, I'd be for even killing the category.  I don't particularly ''want'' people to be able to easily find a list of the articles we've featured in the past.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''01:03:00 Wed&nbsp;'''15 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>
 
== Image ==
 
I don't think using an image to represent different species is against policy - e.g. we have an image of Time Lords at the top of [[Near-Human]], even though it's an overview article on various similar species. I think having the latest (Twelfth Cyber Fleet) variant of Cybermen as the image at the top of the article is a good idea, just like the one at [[Silurian]], despite there being vast differences between subspecies of Silurians.

But the Silurian and Sea Devil categories are unecessary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Jweet query[[edit source]]

Why did you undo my edit?

Oh, ok how do you remove the text from the top and bottom?

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. Thanks for reading. =D Denchens, Come and Have a Convo ☎ 22:21, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

If that's what you agreed than that's what shall stay, Skittles, thanks for the reply and sorry for an inconvenience. DENCH|Convo?? ☎ 22:30, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Ood in Hell Bent[[edit source]]

Hi Skittles, did the Matrix Ood appear in Hell Bent? I didn't see it but many people say it did. Can you clarify this? DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 20:18, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

Ood Reply[[edit source]]

Thanks for the reply =D, I re watched it the other day and there is no sign of Mr. Matrix Ood. Maybe he never existed . DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 21:35, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

Avatar[[edit source]]

My avatar seems to have disappeared, do you have any idea as to why? I though I'd ask you as you seem a good admin to ask. Thanks for your time pal =D. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 15:26, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Galfrey vs Gallifrey[[edit source]]

this has recently come up on a mandela effect discussion. someone says they remember it being "galifrey" with just one L and I found your note about the name spelling in the original script. just wondering where you sourced this information? thanks. QuickMythril ☎ 23:07, July 23, 2018 (UTC)

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)
