Hi everyone :) We're soon starting a whole new way of communicating with each other on this wiki. Wikia have come up with some rather nifty new forum software that's gonna allow us to speak much more quickly with each other. New threads can be made to be seen by all registered users. And once you post in an existing thread, you'll get personally notified when someone adds something new to that thread. This should mean a drastic reduction in the number of times you kinda forget to wander back into a thread, as well as teh number of occasions on which people legitimately say, "But I didn't know there was a discussion about that at the forums!" For the moment however, I gotta ask everyone to stay away from the forums. Gimme about 48 hours to figure out all the new styling and make this thing "ready for prime time". I'll let ya know when we can start talking again, what'll happen to the existing forum threads and all that other jazz. One thing's for absolute certain though, people: Howling:The Howling is unaffected. It's still the only social area of the wiki where spoilers are allowed. And this new technology will not be made available in The Howling. (By the way, while I'm working on enabling the new forums, do feel free to post to this thread only and ask questions.)

We are in the first wave of wikis to adopt this new forum software after it went live across Wikia. There was an earlier beta testing period, but we're very much one of the earliest adopters. I think we're something like wiki #192 to enable it — out of tens of thousands of wikis. So you will spot some genuine "issues" around. As you spot 'em, please leave a message here, detailing the problem to the degree possible, and including screenshots if you can. Thanks :)

New forum threads are, frankly, ugly in Monobook for the moment. This is largely because I'm applying styling to Wikia.css instead of Common.css — so all the conflicts between the new forum CSS and our own unique blockquote CSS are colliding disagreeably in Monobook. It'll be fixed soon — but you don't get all the features of the forum in Monobook anyway. At this point — three years after the introduction of the Wikia skin, you're very much encouraged to just switch over to the Wikia skin permanently.

This note only applies to admin.
I've just filed a bug report with Wikia about errors using the rollback function. Consistently, pressing "rollback" produces an error in which you're told that rollback failed because you've just performed a rollback. It's a lovely bit of thematic timey-wiminess for us here at the Doctor Who wiki, but it's clearly a bug. So until it gets fixed, be aware that rollback does work, but you'll get an error message falsely telling you it doesn't. Remember, too, that rollback should be sparingly used because there's no opportunity to add edit summaries with rollback, which can be frustrating to the user whose edits you're rolling back.

There are some peculiarities about editing in the new forums, and I'd like to assure users that we've already filed a number of bug reports to try and fix them. Vertical height of input boxIf you're typing in the "start a discussion" main text box, it will expand vertically as you type more stuff, allowing you to see the entirety of your post before you publish it. THat's great, and that's how it should be. However, this same thing does not happen if you're replying to a post. There, the vertical height is always the same, which means you have to do a lot of scrolling to get through your post. According to BertH, this is a bug, and is the result of the fact that we've disabled the Visual Editor on this wiki. This seems like the kind of thing that Wikia will almost certainly fix, because it's such a clear bug. From time to time, particularly when starting a new thread, the "Post" and "Preview" buttons are greyed out, and therefore unusable. Wikia Staff are completely mystified by this one, because they see it across Wikia, but they can't see a pattern behind it. The only thing that cures it is apparently simply waiting — and maybe clicking around the "Start a Discussion" box a bit. Eventually, the Preview/Post buttons will be usable. You can bet this one is a high priority for the Engineering department. The problem is figuring out the pattern. If you notice any sort of pattern at all, please submit a report to Special:Contact/bug. AutosuggestIt's obviously critical that we get autosuggest back into the forums. It's a bummer trying to figure out the exact name for some of our pages without autosuggest. This isn' a bug, but it does seem to have wide support as a feature request. I wouldn't be surprised to see it come back in the first quarter of 2013. But neither would I be surprised if it didn't. If you want autosuggest in your forum posting — please, please, please ask for it by submitting a Special:Contact note. Symbols and accented charactersIn the normal editor, we have easy access to MediaWiki:Edittools, a nifty little palate of lots of different characters used in various other languages. Like, crucially, Welsh and French and Spanish and Greek — all of which appear with some regularity in Doctor Who But this has been taken away in the MiniEditor (yes, that's its official name) used on the Forum. However, I've been told by Staff that it's okay to hack a link to it on the MiniEditor window. So with this issue, basically we're being told what Wikia won't fix it any time soon, so we have permission to fix it ourselves. I'll certainly give it a try, or talk to people who can, but it'll be a few weeks, probably.

Warning: Display title "The Drax Cave/Navboxes can't be illustrated" overrides earlier display title "The Drax Cave/New templates".
As part of the 2013 site redesign, I've been forced to conclude that navboxes can no longer have pictures. I regret having to remove this feature, because I know precisely how much work has been involved in creating these specialised, 80px width pics. However, as we added more and more columns to these navboxes (note how the more recent series of DW have more columns at {{DWTV}}), the mathematical formula behind the assignment of column widths could no longer work, in some browsers, in the fixed-width Wikia skin. Many of our navboxes were in fact wholly broken for a long time, but the white background kinda disguised the error. The dark blue background wasn't so forgiving. Ever since our new dark/light duality began, it's been screamingly obvious that something was wrong with the navboxes. There are a number of possible fixes for the problem, but by far the simplest is just to remove the ability of the navboxes to accept pictures. So that's been done, and {{DWTV}}, {{DWN}} and others now have workable widths again, and I can proceed with actually styling the boxes so that they're legible in the dark skin. Thanks to all who helped illustrate these navboxes up to this point. Your work was appreciated.

It has been confirmed with Wikia Staff that IP users do not get message alerts. Although they are supposed to, this feature has a history of breaking and needing to be fixed. This means that communication with IP users cannot be relied upon to actually reach the intended recipient even if the user has a stable IP addy. (Many IP users, of course, are wholly unreachable because they edit wirelessly or in other environments where their IP addys change rapidly.) Accordingly, IP users are hereby warned that they may be blocked without warning, and even indefinitely, since Wikia Staff have now confirmed there is no reliable way to communicate with you. Blocking is the only effective protection the wiki has when a pattern of mistaken or even unhelpful edits emerges from an IP editor. We'd much rather just talk to you about the errors you're making than ban you. Therefore, this wiki strongly urges you to register an account so that you may enjoy the full benefits of membership.

I'm sure you've all noticed that barely anyone is editing anymore. While I can't speak for the others, I know why I haven't been editing: Basically, nothing works. I can't post on threads, I can't edit, I can't follow pages, give "kudos" to messages, no mouse overs work, nothing. I can't bring up my toolbar, either. Clicking on the arrow next to edit doesn't bring up the menu. The time thing at the top is gone. When I try to edit, it simply "establishes interface with TARDIS" perpetually, never loading. Even the Wikia stuff at the top (START A WIKI, Video Games, Notifications, etc...) isn't working! This is happening on my computer (on every browser I have: Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox) and, surprisingly, also in my iPhone, both on Chrome and on Safari. For some reason, though, it's working on my iPad, which is where I'm posting this message right now. It is, unfortunately, a real hassle to edit on an iPad, which is why I've had to put a pause to my current project and all editing here, save a little edit a day so as not to lose my day quota. :-) I've also noticed that certain major players here, like CzechOut, have not edited since Tuesday or Wednesday. Is this perhaps related? Are other people experiencing this? Either way, I would like this problem to be fixed in some way. I at least want Wikia to be aware of the problem!

I've noticed a few reports about a possible bug in the Game of Rassilon, so I thought it was time to reissue an old clarification. For those of you who care about winning the various Tardis Key awards — that is the achievements having to do with consecutive days of editing — please note that there is no bug with the software. A day is defined as that period of time between 0000 and 2359 UTC. The UTC is very important to note. It's absolutely possible to edit on consecutive days in your own time zone but still miss a day. This is true even if you're editing in Britain, because there's a part of the year where the time on your watch and UTC are not the same thing. Before reporting a bug, please make sure that there is not a gap of more than 23h59m between any two of your edits. If there is, you have legitimately missed a day. There is no mechanism for resetting your clock or fixing any problems with respect to this award. You must be mindful of the passage of time in UTC. Also, you must be aware that there are times when Wikia is briefly down for service. It is possible for such a period to come at just the one time of the day when you have time to edit here. Neither Wikia nor Tardis can "compensate" you if you attempt to edit and are unable to do so because of a network outage. You are encouraged to edit at a variety of times throughout the day to protect yourself from isolated connectivity issues.

I forgot to post my traditional "welcome to British Summer Time" greeting this year, and I apologise for the confusion. Every year, we get some new users from the UK who suddenly get very confused about what time it is, and they swear blue that the clock Wikia is using is wrong. It's not. WIkia uses UTC, not BST. This means that when the British go on Daylight Savings, as happened a few days ago, British local time skews off Wikia time by an hour. There is nothing wrong with the clock you see in the upper-right hand corner of our pages, nor with the timestamps that occur when you sign your posts. Most likely if you're seeing an error, you have simply gotten used to there being no difference between Wikia time and your local time, and you now think there is a problem. Alternately, your Special:Preference time settings are set incorrectly, most likely because you failed to allow for Daylight Savings. Thus your account believes it's in a different time zone than you are, leading to a difference between the time on signatures and the time on the clock in the upper right-hand corner.

A lot of users have been moving pages pretty freely in the past few months, but the truth is, this is causing a bit of a headache for admin. Why user page moves create admin workSee, if you're a regular user, you don't have the power to perform a page move in a comprehensive way; you always leave behind the original page as a redirect. Most of the time, this redirect is completely useless. Worse, the fact that the old name exists means that people can link to it, which means there wasn't a lot of point to moving the article in the first place. So when we rename (or move) a page, we usually (not always, but usually) need to: How you can help with page movesWhen you come across a page that you think clearly violates our disambiguation or naming policies, please don't move it yourself. Instead, flag it with {{speedy rename}}. Usage is super easy. {{speedy rename|new=Euros Lyn (director)|links=no|user=CzechOut}} Then I just sit back and let an admin take care of it. What'll happen is that the information I provided will automatically populate a table at T:SPEEDY. This list will provide admin with all the information they need to decide whether to move a page — more than just adding the info to a category. Doesn't replace other templatesNote that this doesn't replace {{rename}} — or {{delete}} or {{merge}}. Those templates are still very useful, but they have the effect of starting a discussion about the more difficult cases. For instance, if you wanted to take issue with the name stingray to describe the main adversaries of Planet of the Dead, then you would need to use {{rename}}, because that alien was never actually named in the episode. Major characters (like companions or their families, or recurring species) are almost never a candidate for using this template. Sure, we'd want to correct simple spelling errors with this template, but otherwise a good rule of thumb is that if a page has over 50 links, or would seem likely so to do in future, settle the matter through a discussion. {{speedy rename}} is only for those black and white cases where the page move is obviously correct. Maybe you're requesting the addition of a standardised dab term or maybe the addition of a forename or surname that wasn't known at the time an article was started. Or maybe you've done something silly and spelled an actor's name in a way different to the credits. Whatever the case, remember: {{speedy rename}} is only for those cases where there is absolutely no cause for discussion.

I spent some time last night creating some year pages and noticed a weird little glitch happening. When I added a year page to the Years category (per Game of Rassilon) all of the other categories on the page would vanish. The century category, the decade category, even an articles needing citation category in one case. If you look at the history for 1847, 2604, 2605, etc, you'll see that immediately after I add the category years I have to re-add the categories that were already there in the previous edit. I don't know if this is because I was adding the categories using the category module, but this has never happened before and seems weird. The articles needing citation category came back easily, all I had to do was edit the page and make no changes. This seems to have been purely a visual thing (I couldn't see it even though it was there), because the category is never missing when you look at the source through the edit history. But the year categories (century and decade) definitely vanish from the page and have to be re-added. Also, I noticed that for some decades I had to create the decade category page. Is there any harm in creating those category pages now even if we don't have to use them yet?

We are investigating reports that templates have stopped transcluding properly on pages. Instead, they've been substituting their raw code. This means that instead of having something like {{real world}} on a page, we're suddenly getting the raw code of the template:real world. This matter has been referred to Wikia, and hopefully they will see it as serious enough to respond promptly. (They usually do.) With such a wide-ranging problem as this, there is a good chance that the wiki may have to be reset to a point before this error started. This means that your edits from today may be reverted.
This matter is resolved; get back to editing, people.

A bug has recently crept into the "Forum Activity" module. That's the thing just to the right of this message, there under the search bar. It used to be — and I assume this is still the intended behaviour — that a thread was only cycled into "Forum Activity" when a new message was added to the thread. Now, however, threads are getting placed into "Forum Activity" when admin make simple administrative changes to the thread, or when people edit pre-existing posts. This means that all of a sudden bot edits are moving really old threads into forum activity, or the simple act of closing a thread ironically puts a thread into Forum Activity — so that more people can see that they cannot contribute to it. A bug report has been filed with Wikia. Until then, expect for active conversations to get buried by old ones.

One of the disadvantages of the forum code is that if you move away from a page where you are composing a new reply — maybe you accidentally click a link on the page, for example — it will appear as though you've lost the message you're composing. But there is a way to save it! It's a bit cumbersome, sure. And it would be better if the Forum mini-editor worked more like the regular page editor, allowing you to navigate away from and back to your edits with ease. But at least there's some way to recover a post, when you accidentally navigate away from it.

As you may have heard if you've spent any time at Community Central, Wikia are moving to a different iteration of the main skin. We might call it Wikia 2.0, but Wikia have labelled the project Darwin.
The idea is to force content to the fore by making the content area expand and contract depending on the size of your window. This should make the experience of Wikia a whole lot easier on the eyes than the current fixed-width approach. It should especially help people who are on iPads and laptops — as well as those who have the luxury of much larger screens. Those of you who were around for the adoption of the Wikia skin might remember the that one of the bones of contention was around this very issue. Monobook had been — and still is! — a free-flowing skin, but Wikia wasn't. Darwin, and especially this free-flowing component code-named Fluid, offers an answer to these criticisms, while still giving helpful boundaries, so that pages can't be warped out of all recognition. Eventually, all Wikia wikis will move to Darwin. But I've asked for early adoption just so that we can help Wikia troubleshoot some of the kinks before the 50th anniversary kicks in. So please, take a look around the joint. Stretch windows wide. Pull 'em narrow. See if things look weird. If they do, come back here and give a link to the problematic page so that we can examine what's going wrong. This will give useful feedback to Wikia so that any problems we encounter might be incorporated into the final product. Not only will Tardis admin staff be watching this page and making appropriate changes, but Wikia Staff will be lurking around, too. So please: speak up and speak often! Let's get the Tardis lookin' great for the anniversary!

If you normally browse here with Safari and you've recently upgraded to Mavericks (10.9), then you've just lost a little bit of functionality. At some point, you may have installed the QuickTime component called XiphQT. This was the only way that Mac users had of playing .ogg audio files through QuickTime and therefore iTunes. QuickTime is what powers audio and video streaming in Safari. It's therefore what's required to play back our audio clips, such as in the infobox at The Light at the End. But the problem is that XiphQT is an old 32-bit application. And Mavericks is the first iteration of OS X which requires 64-bit apps. The result: no audio playback of our files in Safari once you upgrade to Mavericks. Happily, Firefox and Chrome (and Opera, but Opera's not supported by Wikia) easily play audios, even after a Mavericks upgrade.

In the following series of posts, I'll demonstrate how you can't put an un-thumbnailed video in the forum and expect it to play. But first, a few examples of what does work. Here's a video taken directly from w:c:video. Both of these examples play. A video at 501px, not thumbnail. The instruction given was that this should align right, but since local customisation keeps the width of the thread to almost 500px, anyway, there's no real difference between |right and |center. The fact that this video is breaking the boundary of the thread is entirely due to local customisation. Once you add in the padding for the frame, and account for the irregularity of the overall shape caused by the vertical height of this post, the left-margin of the the post is necessarily overhung.

This week, Wikia changed over from Dynamic page list 1.9 to 2.0. DPL is a little extension that allows us to create simple dynamically-expanded lists. For instance, there's one at United States Marshal, which will increase that list every time a page is added to Category:United States Marshals, thereby keeping that page as up-to-date as possible. Unfortunately, as we've discovered at w:c:drwho.answers, there are some pretty major syntax differences between 1.9 and 2.0. Things that have been working fine for a while suddenly don't work at all. I don't expect that many pages here at Tardis might be impacted. But they might be. If you encounter any pages where the DPL lists don't seem to be working, lemme know. Or, if you're really ambitious and looking for something to do, you could check this list of pages where we use DPL. Then, you could report back here to indicate any problems you've found.

If you've been on Wikia for a while, you may know of the existence of a skin called "Monobook". Most — that is, 99% — of users never see it anymore, but there are still some power users who prefer it. The official Wikia position is that it's offered on an as-is basis, meaning that many new Wikia features don't necessarily work in the skin. A good example is Special:Chat, which doesn't at all work in Monobook. Our local position is that it's a lower priority than Wikia, and indeed sometimes we forget about it. A few of our local innovations really aren't working in Monobook, but these are mainly just the main page and transmat pages. Otherwise, Monobook is a perfectly legible environment. However, we do want to make sure it's as useful as possible. So if you do use Monobook, and you see things that are going dramatically wrong there, please leave us a message here, noting the page where you found the error and what you think a reasonable solution would be. As Wikia do not officially support Monobook, I feel a need to stress that this is a service I'm offering as an admin of this site, not as a Wikia employee. It follows on in the tradition of a long-open discussion at Forum:Monobook styling continues and Forum:Monobook fans: read this. Also, note that if you are a Wikia Star/Community Councillor, and you just can't stand the way our Monobook looks, we'll gladly give you admin access to fix up the joint to what you see as a reasonable standard of excellence for the Monobook skin. Further, be advised that this wikia bypassed CSS development of Monobook, and — unusually for a 10-year-old wikia — began its CSS styling with the Oasis/Wikia skin. Monobook is very much a retrofit, so it would be churlish of us to be "precious" about that design. So again, whether you want to take on the duties of a full redesign, or just want to offer feedback about a particular page that's not working, please put your comments below. Thanks :)

Sometimes when I edit a TV story page, the story number for that page is automatically edited as well, being usually decreased by 1. When in preview mode the story number displayed is still the correct, unedited one. I noticed that often other users' edits also contains story number changes, but I not sure if they experienced the same issue or if they actually wanted to edit the story number.

It's been past practice to add a topic at the bottom of posts here in the Forums. For instance, if you were talking about something that had to do with The Sun Makers, you'd maybe set The Sun Makers as a topic -- that is, something appearing under the heading, "pages most relevant to this discussion". For technical reasons, these topics will no longer appear on pages, so there is no need to continue this practice. That space on the page is now directing people to our highly successful, well-attended Discussions in the hopes of getting you to interact with some of our mobile and Community App users.

It's a known, Wikia-level issue that the display of Game of Rassilon badges on people's user pages has come slightly out of alignment. Where once there were three columns of badges, now there is just one. A ticket has been filed, but this is something that needs to be solved by Wikia engineers, not Tardis administrators. As this issue just started overnight, there is not yet an ETA for its solution.

As I edit within the wiki, the page sometimes logs out and then when refreshed logs in again. This has happened on three different computers under three different ISP addresses. Is wikia playing up for anyone else or is it just me?

Warning: Display title "The Drax Cave/Disabling Google surveys" overrides earlier display title "The Drax Cave/Logging in and Out".
Suddenly, whenever I go to visit a page on TARDIS Data Core I get the page blocked by a stupid and irrelevant Google survey. Yes I know I can click "skip survey" but I shouldn't have to, and sometimes it doesn't appear for about 30 seconds, usually when I'm in the middle or reading a page. Is there any way of disabling this?

Hey everyone :) As is happening a little later this week, FANDOM wide, we're getting a new header. Because this site is unusually heavily coded, you're going to see a good deal of stylistic variations this week as we adjust. One of the biggest things you'll notice is that the ability to switch skins between dark-on-light and light-on-dark has been removed. It's very important to get the default, dark-on-light, scheme working first. There are also a number of font issues to work out, so you are quite likely to see a number of different, and clashing, font styles this week.

You need to change the text colours on some of your navboxes please. Some text is invisible, blue on blue, in other places it's nigh unreadable because it's white on a pale colour.

Warning: Display title "The Drax Cave/Panopticon Archives issue - page links instead of category links" overrides earlier display title "The Drax Cave/Spoiler warning is broken".
For reasons that I don't understand, on the Panopticon Archives, in this section… …the links all point to pages with those supposed titles — i.e. [[Protection issues]]. Strangely, it does not appear as a redlink there, but if one clicks on them, one is then told that these pages are "the Zero Room" — that is to say that no such page exists. I was quite puzzled by all of this until I realized that all of the links are written as if linking a page, rather than a category. Thus the example's link should be written as [[:Category:Protection issues|Protection issues]], for Protection issues. How this mistake could have persisted for this long even though it makes the entire list of links next-to-useless is beyond me (perhaps some upgrade that didn't go well in years past? or a bug when archiving the old Forums?), but it really should be fixed. Thing is, I can't do it, as, being as its name implies an archive, the Panopticon Archive can't be edited by just anybody. Indeed, perhaps no one, even the admins, can edit it; I don't know. If not, then a possible fix would be to create each linked page as a redirect to the relevant category.

It started yesterday. I click the Edit button, but it simply doesn't load. I can use the Classic editor, but not the Visual. I read in Community that it might be a CSS error, but I don't know how to fix it.

In Template:Docpic, the last Noinclude closing tag is broken as there is a space in the tag. I don't think the tag does anything since the actual content is on includeonly tags, but I thought it was worth bringing up. This was also the easiest way I could see to notify admins/content mods since message walls aren't a thing on this wiki.

I didn't want to write this initially (and I'm still not sure if it's the right board), but the issue ramains the same for me. I don't know about anyone else's experience, but the move from light background/dark text to dark background/light text on this Wiki was really heavy for my eyes. I thought they might adjust with time, but the contrast between Wiki and almost every other major websites that I (and many others, I'm sure) use frequently - Goggle, YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter, other social networks and so on - remains. When I switch them to this Wiki, it's genuinely hurts my eyes! So I'm not sure what to do. It's not comfortable at all for me to read or edit here with this dark background, and after long exposure to darkness it's even more painful to adjust back again to the light ones (which, again, is every other that I use, apart from this Wiki).

Hi. I've noticed that some of the links to external sites could do with some renewal. Some of the links to ratings for individual episodes appear broken for some reason. They could do with some fixing.

There’s an ongoing problem with images on this wiki. If an image has the same file name as a Wikimedia image, it will be replaced by the Wikimedia image. Here are some examples of TARDIS wiki images being replaced with Wikimedia images. Some were on the wiki for many years before this happened. The last one was removed for assumed vandalism, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. What if someone gets banned for vandalism that they didn’t actually commit? NSFW images randomly appearing on this wiki is also a serious problem.

Warning: Display title "The Drax Cave/Problem with {{Fanzine cover}}" overrides earlier display title "The Drax Cave/Problem with Wikimedia images replacing Tardis wiki images".
When uploading images of Fanzine covers I selected the "Fanzine covers" option. However, this adds {{Fanzine covers}} as the license template, which doesn't exist. The correct template it should add is {{Fanzine cover}}: This image is of a fanzine cover, and the copyright for it likely resides with BBC Worldwide, even though another individual may have, in some way, "remixed" the image. Since the images were reproduced without permission of the British Broadcasting Corporation, it's believed that the copyright for the image most likely resides with the BBC. It is believed that the use of this image qualifies as fair dealing under the laws of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, and as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information. To the uploader: please add the source of the work and copyright information. Can someone fix this?. YYYYYY |
