Missing videos
Hey, sorry to bother but I see that you're uploading some videos. If you're not too busy, could you please upload some missing videos which I recommended over at Tardis_talk:Video_recommendations? Thanks in advance Flabshoe1 ☎ 19:39, May 13, 2017 (UTC)
So, thank you for taking the time to do the Oxygen TV trailer. Could you also find the time to the rest of the missing videos? This is something I would do on my own, but obviously I can't so I need your help. Thanks! Flabshoe1 ☎ 19:56, May 13, 2017 (UTC)
Coal Hill entrance hall
Hey, back in November, I added an infobox for Coal Hill entrance hall, and you later removed because your intention was to have an image of it back on TV: Remembrance of the Daleks and how it looked now, on TV: For Tonight We Might Die. I'm ok with that, and even agree the idea is good. But what do you think of this: the infobox comes back and we make the images go to the left of the page. This way, we can keep an infobox on the page, and also the two images.
Furthermore, there is a third image (File:Quill and Armitage.jpg) on the page. This could perhaps be the infobox image. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 21:28, May 14, 2017 (UTC)
Infobox Anatomy and Events
Ok, so according to Special:Insights/nonportableinfoboxes, CzechOut has finished making the infoboxes portable. As you asked me to do, I'm giving you a heads up about this, in case you've got the time to do the new infoboxes. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 21:56, May 24, 2017 (UTC)
Brotherhood
Hey SOTO. Could you please delete Brotherhood? Currently, it points to Brotherhood of the Immanent Flesh, but it should be kept for the concept of a brotherhood, and an overview of brotherhoods. Oh, and the only link that existis for it is on a sandbox. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 01:57, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
- Oops, I was holding off on creating Brotherhood (disambiguation) until broterhood was a redlink, but published it accidentally. Anyway, now there's also a link to it on the dab page. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 01:59, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the redlink; and about the profile pic, it's like they say: Times change, and so must I. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 02:08, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
Trick story name
Hey, today Big Finish released torchwood_cascade_CDRip.tor, a story with the trickiest name I've ever came across. I made the page under the closest name to the one on the cover, and added a {{retitle}} on the top of it, to make it exaclty like on the cover.
However, when I went to add the cast list, I realised it'd be extremely hard to make the dabbing for this story. On the trailer for this story, Nicholas Briggs simply refers to it as Cascade (which is the same as "torchwood_cascade_CDRip.tor" if you remove the tricky-stuff). I was wondering if perhaps it'd be fine to actually name the page Cascade (audio story), use the retitle, and use Cascade as the dab term for the characters in this story. IMO, using "torchwood_cascade_CDRip.tor" would be terrible, because it's too long. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 22:07, June 7, 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, after User:PicassoAndPringles edited the page a bit, I realised it wasn't as tricky as I first thought. The {{retitle}} trick can also be done to Stephen (torchwood cascade CDRip.tor), Max (torchwood cascade CDRip.tor) and Nikki (torchwood cascade CDRip.tor), once these pages are created. Perhaps, a simple redirect from Cascade (audio story) to Torchwood cascade CDRip.tor (audio story) will sufice. But thanks for looking into it anyway ;) .

A bit scared
I've added the new episode for the Twelfth Doctor's, Bill's, Nardole's, the Master's and the Ice Warrior's list of appearances, but I remembered about the spoiler policy. I thought it'd be fine because Revanvolatrelundar added as well as other non-admins but now I'm not sure if it's the correct time? Am I allowed to, and I hope that if I'm not I won't get punished too greatly.
Thank you and I apologise if it was the wrong thing to do. StevieGLiverpool ☎ 19:22, June 10, 2017 (UTC)
P.S- The time wasn't actually 19:22, my timing on this computer is bugged but it's actually 20:22 when I messaged, as the page histories should probably prove. Thanks again.
- Thank you for being kind, I won't break the rule again, or at least try really hard! ;) StevieGLiverpool ☎ 20:41, June 10, 2017 (UTC)
Fact checking for other wiki
Hi, I'm an admin on the Old School RuneScape wiki, and someone recently made a trivia edit that I wanted to fact check over here. I chose you because you were the first coloured name in the recent changes list, so sorry if I'm putting you on the spot :P
Its been a long while since I've watched doctor who, and frankly your wiki's layout is alien to me (pun not intended) - So I wanted to verify with a real person.
Anyway, someone added an anecdote about the Slitheen, and about how a quest from 2006 may have been referencing them, but I'm pretty sure the Slitheen weren't introduced until sometime during 2009. Am I dead wrong? Your infoboxes are weird. Thanks and take care! --— Scuzzy Beta (talk) 20:41, June 11, 2017 (UTC)
Hey, I started making pages for The Black Archive and thought that a navbox would be useful (as there are already 11 books, and plans for a lot more). I don't know if non-admins are even allowed to properly make these, so I made one in my sandbox. When you have the time, could you check it up (and see if there's any coding stuff I missed). If there's nothing missing, could you implement it? Thanks. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:51, June 27, 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, I got a bit stuck on the name. TBA does look like it stands for "to be added" or something like that. Do you have any suggestions? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 01:16, June 27, 2017 (UTC)
- Hmm.. you're right. Usually, it's good to have a shorter name, but I don't think there's a good one in this case. If you could create the template, I'd be really glad (not 100% sure how to do it, so I rather hold back on doing it for now). :) OncomingStorm12th ☎ 01:23, June 27, 2017 (UTC)
Links to YouTube channels
Hey SOTO. I was revisiting the BBC Three page and tried linking to their YouTube channel. I managed to do so with the {{YouTube}} template (adding "bbcthree" there). However, doing so in the infobox links to "/user/bbcthree", which isn't a proper link to their channel.
There is also another way to get to BBC Three: "/channel/UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ", but is also doesn't work for the infobox. Is there some trick to make the link work on the infobox? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 18:13, July 6, 2017 (UTC)
- Hey again. I'm so, so sorry, but I'm a pudding brain and I could not make it work. I tried using:
|youtube = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ |youtube channel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ |youtubechannel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ |channel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ |YouTube channel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ
and Rassilon knows how many other variations, but I couldn't get it to display the link on the Infobox. I must be making a very simple mistake, but I can't quite see what. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 20:39, July 6, 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, nice change. Almost went mad for a second back thre :p. Thanks as always SOTO. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 20:56, July 6, 2017 (UTC)
