If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
So the main category for anything having to do with wiki adiminstration is Category:TARDIS Index File Wiki. That's quite a long category name for one of the four main categories on the wiki. It seems to me, as well, that it's not particularly intuitive. Can we change it to category:Tardis, since that matches the namespace of many of the pages inside, and since standard practice on Wikia is to make the administrative folder be our project name — that is, what happens when you type {{ns:project}}: {{ns:project]}. This would mean that the current category:TARDIS would have to be moved to category:The Doctors TARDIS, which is what it should be anyway.
Alternately, we could go for something more descriptive, but still shorter than what it is now, like category:wiki maintenance or category:Tardis maintenance.
If we wanted to go with a name that has more of a Doctor Who vibe to it, we could go with category:The Hub, since none of our main categories reference Torchwood at present.
Either way, I strongly think we've got to get rid of the word Wiki in "Tardis Index File Wiki", because officially we're "Tardis", "Tardis Inex File" or "Tardis Index File, the Doctor Who Wiki". It's true that, at one time, our logo implied "Tardis Index File Wiki", but not anymore. Time to rebrand that main folder to either be in harmony with out new logo, to emphasize our actual project name (in which case, we sentence case the word Tardis (in compliance with popular use in the mainstream British press, I might add), or to be more descriptive.

- I disagree that category:TARDIS needs to be renamed to category:The Doctor's TARDIS. Not everything in that category applies exclusively, or even at all, to the Doctor's specific TARDIS.
- For this category, could shortening it to category:Index File work? That'd more clearly label it as a component of this wiki, and limit confusion with anything in-Universe. Alternately you could go with something solely descriptive and not at all fancy, like category:admin. Rob T Firefly 04:12, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
