== Moving pages ==
Hi! Please, in the future, if you see a page that needs to be renamed/moved, do not do it yourself. Instead, use either a <nowiki>{{Rename}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{Speedy rename}}</nowiki> tag so an admin can do the work instead.
Even though the wiki allows for non-admins to move pages, there are some parts of the process that non-admins '''can't''' do. Using the tags allows the admins to take care of the entire process. You can read more on this topic at [[Thread:128198]]. Thanks! [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:48, March 19, 2015 (UTC)
:Hey! OK, will do. Isn't there some way to make the ability to move pages permission-restricted to admins only, though. I guess not, 'cause it would've been done already. Anyway, thanks for the headsup and cheers!  ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 14:12, March 19, 2015 (UTC)
== Re: Human Nature ==
Don't worry about. We're all here to help each other. Since I'm currently reading it, it's fresh in my memory hehe.

== Adelebert ==
A couple of questions about the page you created at [[Adelebert]]. What is the source, and does it specify a Doctor? [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:08, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
:Goodness, I created that back in October. Was able to find the missing information, though, and added it to the article. Cheers! ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 03:47, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
== Categories ==
Hi! Please do not add the extra words to category names as you have been doing. [[User:Doug86]] and I have both for several months been removing these extra words from the categories that don't need them. The purpose of extra words is to aid in sorting, but all you're doing is making it alphabetical, which it already is without the extra words.
Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:30, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
:Actually, I was wondering about that. Some of the species have a category that's only their name (e.g., [[:Category:Alpha Centaurians]]) while others have 'individual' preceding it (e.g., [[:Category:Individual Kaleds‎]]). Shouldn't all the species category names be consistent? Then they would automatically sort alphabetically by species name. Or perhaps I'm missing something. Which wouldn't be the first time. :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 01:24, May 24, 2015 (UTC)
== Copy/pasting ==
Hi! If you are copy/pasting similar elements from one page to another, please make sure to preview your work. I've had to remove the word "Rod" from at least four infoboxes. Thanks.

: Oh yes, I noticed that photo recently too. That was actually taken my freshman year of High School, which explains my awkward... Well, everything. Not my best scarf. My father actually used to knit them in the '90s a lot for fun. The longest one is insane if I recall correctly...

== Question ==
Hi! I have a question about a page you created. The page for [[Legacies]] states that it will be released September 25, 2015. Is there a reason why this page was created now? [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:51, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
:It was on WantedPages. I found enough information and the cover online, so I thought it would be a good idea to create it. I've gathered that articles about actual episodes don't get made until they air, or only shortly before. Are magazines the same? I don't think there's anything spoiler-ey in that article, but I may be mistaken. I shan't do so again, if that's the case. It's not like I don't have enough other articles I can create. I finished [[Tardis:List of unwritten Virgin Missing Adventures characters]] a while ago, and I'm almost done with [[Tardis:List of unwritten Virgin New Adventures characters]] after all. Cheers. :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 23:49, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
== Prelude Charactors ==
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that all of the ''Prelude'' stories are also listed at [[T:DWM CHAR]], so when you remove them from from the Virgin page removed them from the DWM page too. Thanks. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 02:59, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
:A page which you created. Good on you. Cheers! :) ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 03:07, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
== Reminder ==
Hi! Please do not ever edit another user's page. This policy is spelled out in [[Tardis:Other people's user pages]] and [[Tardis:Vandalism policy]]. It is especially important that you don't edit another user's sandbox page. If you think something on a user's page needs editing, leave them a message on their talk page. Thanks.

::Oh, I see what you mean. We're collaborating on article-ing some of the comic story redlinks. I'll drop him a note, though, and ask him to update future links instead. Thanks. ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 02:12, September 19, 2015 (UTC)
== That's fine ==
Actually, that page is fairly out-of-date. For the final non-sandbox version, visit [[T:DWM CHAR]]. Cheers! [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 03:17, September 19, 2015 (UTC)
== Twelfth Doctor ==
Hi! I have deleted the page "Twelfth Doctor (Four Doctors)" (for the third time). This article is still up for discussion at [[Thread:178546]] and no admin has ruled on it, so no page will be created until/unless it gets admin approval. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:19, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
:The positive reinforcement is appreciated. ----[[User:Ebyabe|<span style="color:purple">'''Ebyabe'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Ebyabe|<span style="color:green"><small>'''(talk)'''</small></span>]] 15:20, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
== Re: moving pages ==
I see that I've already told you once before to leave the page moves to admins. Please remember to use the rename or speedy rename tag when a page needs to be moved. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:00, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

== Punctuation ==


Hi! Please make sure that, when you create page titles and/or add text that you've copy-pasted from a Word document, you change the punctuation, such as apostrophes and quotation marks, from Word to wiki text. They are not the same. Thanks! [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:44, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

Punctuation

Hi! Please make sure that, when you create page titles and/or add text that you've copy-pasted from a Word document, you change the punctuation, such as apostrophes and quotation marks, from Word to wiki text. They are not the same. Thanks! Shambala108 03:44, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

With which article did this happen? I'd like to know to help avoid future errors. I use Notepad almost exclusively for copy and paste, so I don't see how that would happen. Thanks. ----Ebyabe (talk) 14:06, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
