That's too bad. Can you link me to the particular forum? I'd like to know the reasoning behind removing the infoboxes, even if I can't affect the change now.
As a side note, I would like to contribute to forum discussions more, but I find them so difficult to navigate. [[User:Memnarc|Memnarc]] [[User talk:Memnarc|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Page swapping

Looks like User:Cyruptsaram hit a snag while attempting to disambiguate people called Rob. The "vanilla" Rob should be on Rob (The Chromosome Connection), while Rob (Disambiguation) should be the "normal" location of Rob with all the links changed. Maybe you could explain to him about how you do that sort of thing. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:27, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Documentary categorization

Yes, I saw how you changed From Avalon to Argolis and tried to do the same with my next edit. I'm still trying to get the hang of categories, there are just so many. Sorry for the trouble! Shambala108 03:34, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Good to know about the documentary tutorial, I will be watching for it. And thanks for fixing my talk page, it's been bugging me for months, but I didn't know how to fix it. Shambala108 03:44, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight Request

Hi. Tardis looks great and I have added it to the approved spotlight list. I'm not sure what is up with the categories on some of those pages that are still being listed as uncategorized...; have you reported it to Special:contact?? Somebody else may have seen it somewhere. -- Wendy (talk)<staff /> 04:23, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Message received and understood

Hi CzechOut, still havent sorted out message alerts from you - good job I czech daily <gedit :)> Anyway been working back on some old issues so not much new added at the mo BUT...you'll be pleased to know Im being attentive to image sizes - still got a problem with some comic captures where I only have one decent bubbled pic to choose from but hey, I'm trying. On the date matter - well that makes more sense. Thats how (in my very early days) I started doing them but someone went behind me and split it all up into parts hmmmmm so thats why its been done as it is - sorry was. Consider my templates ammended. Just let me know if you spot me misbehaving again - Im sure you will! BTW glad to see the link to latest news restored on the home page.

Edit box issue

Text box issue

Have you run into this problem? It's something that's been plaguing me for a while, but didn't really get in the way of me editing. Basically I can't click the text anywhere around the custom preload pagename box. Scrolling beyond it works and on really short articles I just push the text down to edit it and then bring it back up once I've finished. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:39, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

BACK!

I'm back! !ṂěṭáṛdIṢ 2024Satatpm 21: 40Just William Wiki 09:43, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

changing publication to anthology

All I'm doing is deleting the word "publication" in the infobox and replacing it with "anthology", that's the only pattern. I think I've done the first twenty or so Short Trips anthologies, but it's a pretty tedious job so if it can be done by the bot I could do something more fun.

Before I started this, I searched several places looking for a reference to put in the edit summary, but couldn't find any; I should have asked you in the first place. Thanks! Shambala108 03:34, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

I was doing them in anthology order, story order, and left off at For the Man Who Has Everything (short story), which is followed by Tell Me You Love Me (short story) and The Cutty Wren (short story). These are all in the anthology Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas. Shambala108 03:57, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Signature

Thanks for your advise, I might give it a try. Cyruptsaram 08:34, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Ok I know I can be stupid but....

Hi CzechOut, RE: the message alerts lol - luv the bat-signal analogy btw. I've got that part! :)

I'm getting the wiki alerts and invites, I'm getting the Game of Rassilon scores, I'm getting ALL that. What I'm NOT getting is alerts to messages left on my talk page - in a bat-signal style blue balloon, or as a notification in the top line of the screen (like appeared in the wiki test you did on muppetwiki) ...but its workable I check more regularly now when I log in and intermitantly. The Librarian 21:59, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


I'm getting 1-4 but NOT 5 (and I know what it now looks like cos I've seen it on muppetwiki :) The Librarian 23:11, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Video and novelisations queries

Hi ...on a different topic entirely... as well as being busy rescanning some cover pics for a mammoth day uploading (often smaller but also some larger scans), at <100kb, I was wondering ... which is better galleries or tables? The reason is, I'm looking too add more to the 'Home video and audio releases' section of story pages, which would incidently include the DWDVDF releases. IF tables were preferred would there be a problem with a gradual change over?

ok showing stupidity again!! Just been exploring the side tabs! Doah! but can you direct me to how to create a related image page. Thanks. The Librarian 01:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

AND ... I seem to have missed the discussion to remove novelisation details/links from story listing pages :( ...even though script books have been retained -even if they are a script not necessarily what was broadcast). Put a lot of work (and still not yet complete), into Target Books even if they are now BBC and was wondering...! The Librarian 00:39, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

likewise just found the very discreet link at the top of the info box. Is it the plan to have a separate commercial releases page for each story that would encompass cassettes, VHS's, DVDs, audio soundtracks, recordings and readings?The Librarian 01:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Change "DVD, video and audio releases" and "Home video and audio releases"

When you've got a spare moment, could you do a bot run on these two and change them to "Home media releases"?

I think with 55+ stories on iTunes and as you've noted on the forums how people view what "video" means, I think Media might be a better catch all term. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:44, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Redirect

The protected page for The Dalek Project should have a (comic story) on the end. It SAYS (comic story), but that's a quirk of {{TitleComic}}, it's not actually on that page. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:33, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Table headers unreadable

The table headers on Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories are white on near-white, which makes them well-nigh invisible & certainly unreadable. The exception is "Released". I assume this is a side effect of allowing sorting on the other columns. Whatever the cause, the colours need to be changed.

Note that the header background briefly shows as blue (sensible) when I first navigate to the page but is replaced by near-white within a second or less.

There may be other tables elsewhere afflicted by the same problem. I've not tried to look for any, so I don't know. --89.240.248.92talk to me 02:23, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Phew - thats sorted then..

Hi, I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding. I've only ever raised the issue of not getting no.5 alerts and thats because I was a bit 'slow' into replying (ie taking note) of some comments (especially if they were threads), 'cos I wasn't made aware they had been posted. Now I know its my fault I'll try harder - heavens knows how you keep on top of things! :) The Librarian 02:35, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Graphic polocy

out of curiousity, what is our policy on graphic content exactly? I saw here you call the wiki "NSFW", but where do we stop? I mean there are many Doctor Who sorces with huge nudity involved, Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough being the best example, what is our policy on that? (I do not actually want to add any pictures like that really, I am just curious) OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 22:17, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Establishing Interface with Tardis

Out of curiosity, how did you add the Tardis Image to the edit load? Ricky Spanish 00:38, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Badge bug

Is it just me, or has everyone else's badges been replaced with my own? Or is it possible that people have chosen not to display their earned badges and so it's just showing me mine, or is this an actual error of some kind? Memnarc 03:55, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Woah! He's right! It's doing it to me too! OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:12, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Prefixes

You know, if you're going to be universalising the source prefixes, you might want to make a modification or two to the prefix header, since its image consists of all of the now-obsolete DW, SJA, TW, MA, etc. prefixes.

Just occurred to me. Dr. Anonymous1 13:07, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Issue with changing prefixes

Not all STs are PROSE, as per your bot correction. After about 2010, they became audio stories, once Big Finish stopped producing Doctor Who literature. -- Tybort (talk page) 15:41, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

I must admit, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to editing on here (and any other wiki, for that matter) and I've been having a bit of trouble editing the homepage. I want to change the most recent Torchwood novel and DWM comic to 'Exodus Code' and 'The Broken Man' respectively (unless of course we're not supposed to add a comic until the story is actually complete, in which case it would be 'The Cornucopia Caper'). Anyway, when I click the edit button, I'm presented with an incredibly unhelpful display which doesn't actually let me change the contents of the page.


Having trouble editing the home page

Hello. I must admit I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to editing a wiki, and I've been having a bit of trouble editing the home page. I want to change the most recent Torchwood novel and DWM comic to 'Exodus Code' and The Broken Man' respectively (unless I'm not supposed to add a comic until the story is actually complete, in which case that would be 'The Cornucopia Caper'). Anyway, when I click the edit button, I'm presented with an incredibly unhelpful screen in which I can't actually change the contents of the page. Might you be able to help?

documentary page

Hi! I was creating some documentary pages for The War Games and came across a problem. One of the documentaries is called Talking About Regeneration, and when I tried to create it, it was blocked by the spam filter, apparently triggered by the words "Talking About." Is this something that can be fixed? Thanks! Shambala108 01:45, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Spell Bot

Hi.
Thanks for your help on the forum. Is there any way to run the bot only for content pages (pages excluding redirects, talkpages and all..)? Ultimate Supreme talk · wiki I · wiki II  05:46, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Master images

That's too bad. Can you link me to the particular forum? I'd like to know the reasoning behind removing the infoboxes, even if I can't affect the change now.

As a side note, I would like to contribute to forum discussions more, but I find them so difficult to navigate. Memnarc 02:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
