CzechOut/Magfix is a temporary page designed to keep track of the rather massive task of:
- Renaming every magazine issue page in the format: [acronym] [number], as in DWM 1.
- Replacing every instance of [[ [acronym] Issue [number] ]] with just [[ [acronym] [number] ]]. Put simply, this step is the process of making sure that links to issue numbers link to the new page name, not to a redirect.
- Making sure that all issues are within a category called, [acronym] issues, as in category:DWBIT issues, rather than just hanging out in a big, undifferentiated category about the magazine as a whole. This is useful, as with category:Doctor Who DVD Files, to distinguish between those things that are issues and those articles that are not.
- Deleting the old redirects. So, getting rid of DWM Issue 1, once it is completely unlinked, at least in the main article space. (No effort will be made to correct the user or forum namespaces, for instance.)
- OPTIONAL STEP: If a magazine is ongoing, altering the preloadable outline so that it reflects the current nomenclature. template:DWA issue/preload, for instance, requires repair to take into account that the base name of an article is now only 7 letters long.
Fully complete
When all three of these steps are completed, then a title may said to be "completely converted", and no further action will be taken upon them.
The following magazines have been completely converted to comply with Tardis:Manual of Style#Magazine issues:
- Doctor Who DVD Files
- Doctor Who Insider (well, this one's easy, but the proper structure has been laid down. I do need to do the optional bit on this one, though. Its preloadable hasn't been created yet.)
- DWCC
Mostly complete
The following magazines have been converted through point three.
