Episodes names

Please leave the name of the an episode in italics if it appears in a set of brackets. e.g (episode name)This is part of the manual of style. Mini-mitch 14:12, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I though it was supposed to appear not in italics and within the final sentence. I won't do it again.Sontar8 15:14, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Wikification

Hi, not everything needs to be wikified. On DWM Issue 425 "The DWM Review" is the name of an article within the magazine. DWM is the prefix used on this wiki for comics and short stories. See Tardis:Manual of Style and the Tardis:Help pages for more information. --Tangerineduel 15:35, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. I was just trying to help. Sontar8 15:38, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

That's fine, just be sure to look around at other articles to get an idea of how things work on this wiki. Just one further note, be very careful wikifying things in real world articles such as actors as a majority of our articles dealing with things that can be wikified such as Television or voice link to in-universe articles. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:44, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Avatar

Hi, I'm looking for some help on getting an avatar uploaded. I've got one ready to use but I don't know how to get it on my profile. Any ideas? Sontar8 15:44, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Mouse over the blank image in the top left and it should have a link that says "Change avatar" you'll be taken to your preferences page, which can also be reached by mouse overing your name in the top right and clicking "Preferences". Scroll down and you should be able to change your avatar from there. --Tangerineduel 15:47, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Sontar8 15:57, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Other things to note

to be added is written like this to keep things consistent and as a notice, it's meant to be lower case.

Do not remove parts of an infobox, just because they can't be filled in at the moment doesn't mean they won't.

As is stated in the Manual of Style "story first broadcast" is not a complete sentence.

I really encourage you to look around and read the wiki before making changes so you can get an understanding of how pages are constructed on this wiki. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:05, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Again, I'm sorry. However I've been reading the Wiki for several months now even though I didn't have an account and most of the things I've seen are written as I'm doing them. I'll try to do them the way you suggest from now on though. Sontar8 16:07, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Look through the Tardis:Help pages read the Tardis:Manual of Style. Also (another note), don't copy the web address to make links, on wikis all you need to do is put double square brackets around something to make a link. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:13, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

I don't copy addressess to make links. Also, I'm sure the correct way is:

DW: Terror of the Zygons was first broadcast.

not, Episode 1 of DW: Terror of the Zygons was first braodcast.

Sontar8 16:17, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

To present information and make it readable, the way I wrote it is easier to read. Also after Invasion of the Dinosaurs the story segments were called 'Parts' rather than 'Episodes' in the title sequence.

Also when listing several stories in a row that are all DW the prefix only needs to go in front of the first story, the rest if separated by a comma don't need the DW because you're listing them one after the other.

As for copying links see edit comparison yours is on the left which shows a copied address rather than a wiki link. --Tangerineduel 16:33, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Layout

Has you recent activity bar mysteriously been moved to the left? Just wondering if it's just me. Thanks --Skittles the hog 09:52, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

No, mine's still on the right. Sorry. Sontar8 09:56, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. I can't figure out what happened.--Skittles the hog 10:00, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Real world articles

Hi, not all real world articles need the (for instance) BFA prefix in front of the stories, the Andrew Stirling-Brown, through the article it already indicates the stories are part of Big Finish's Doctor Who range, adding the prefixes interrupts the readability of the sentences. The prefixes are most important when citing stories as the source, but sometimes in the real world articles they are talking about the stories and it's the sentence that gives it context and definition. --Tangerineduel 12:32, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. Sontar8 11:28, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Graske

I didn't. If I did it was a mistake; I was re-sizing it.--Skittles the hog 19:48, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
