Re

Happy to help. And I was going to do that if he kept it up. I hold the rank of Admin myself on two other Wikis so I know about those sorts of rules.--WarGrowlmon18 03:11, January 2, 2018 (UTC)

Unsubstantiated accusations

Hello. I was just wondering if the investigation into User:Xx-connor-xX's claims that his continual mistakes were caused by my correcting of his edits was still ongoing. It has been about two months and he has neither offered any evidence to support his claims or repeated them. GusF 21:26, January 3, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much for setting my mind at ease. I did indeed misinterpret your earlier statement on the topic. While I certainly didn't feel as if I were under a cloud of suspicion for the last two months, I was a little concerned that an investigation was ongoing and that it might never be settled since User:Xx-connor-xX seemed to have absented himself from the Wiki. Again, thank you for clarifying the situation. It is very much appreciated. GusF 23:27, January 3, 2018 (UTC)

Potential edit war

Hey there. Just bringing your attention to this: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/First_Doctor?diff=2444232&oldid=2444097

Banana shortened the section, stated his reasoning but War keeps undoing it without justification. Reckon you could step in and resolve the matter before it escalates? They've already undone twice already. Thanks. Snivystorm 23:03, January 4, 2018 (UTC)

Re:message

Hey, got your message on the other wiki. Thanks for the kind words. Just so you know, I have no problem with your actions; you weren't even a member of the wiki when the discussion took part in 2013 so you wouldn't be aware of my arguments. I just find that a blanket undoing causes more problems than it's worth; problems are going to get through, and sure enough, there were several familiar ones that got through almost immediately that I had to deal with.

I've got a favor to ask. If you want to get in touch with me, I prefer it be done here. I try to avoid the other wiki ever since a certain user who shall remain nameless left a really profane message on my talk page to try to make a point. Thanks! Shambala108 01:28, January 5, 2018 (UTC)

Ah man, I honestly just tend to write out people's names short on the internet as a "pally" sort of thing, didn't notice that what I wrote could be seen as an insult. OS25🤙☎️ 12:24, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Main enemy query

Hey there. Was wondering if perhaps you could clarify an issue for me. Regarding the story infobox, it says "main enemy". Given it is singular, that indicates only one enemy should go in the box no, just how only the main Doctor for the episode goes in the Doctor section and so on. The only issue I can see this creates is when a story has multiple enemies that have equal weight as could be argued in the case for Doomsday, even though I feel the Daleks are a greater threat to the Doctor than the Cybermen given he teamed up with them. Same could be said for the Zygons and Daleks in The Day of the Doctor; Zygons start as enemy but story ends with only Daleks as enemies therefore Daleks are that episodes main enemy. Just bringing this up to avoid conflicts between what is and is not to be included in that bracket. Reckon you can confirm/deny my views on the matter? Thanks! Snivystorm 20:34, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

Indeed, it was rather informative! I'll be sure to refer back to it when future debates arise. Thanks for your help. Snivystorm 23:54, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

Navigation Bar

I noticed in the navigation bar under Real People - Writers, Sarah Dollard is misspelt as Sarah Dollared. I would fix it myself but only administrators are able to edit the navigation bar, so I thought I'd let you know. 0003c9fe 06:31, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

4DA Overviews

Hey, figured I'd ask you this since you created the page for the first series, how exactly did you determine who was present in the 'Featuring' section? Nicholas Briggs and Geoffrey Beevers are obvious but how about the rest of them? Is it anyone who voiced in the 6 stories? Thanks for your time. 0003c9fe 06:59, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Happy to help, saw your series 1 page and figured I'd continue on from there. Unfortunately I haven't heard the series myself so I won't be able to contribute to the Overview section. Thanks for clarifying, Tom and Louise/Mary/Lalla for the cast, and anyone else named on the stripe in featured. I'll add those to the current pages and make the rest of the series pages later today. I assume a similar project will happen soon for the 8DA audios? 0003c9fe 08:22, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

I assume by beautify a bit you mean fix the tables? Either way go ahead. I was planning on fixing the tables later since I wasn't exactly sure at the time of making them how to do the cell merging properly. That and the table section has a bit of an ugly gap but after I add the Features that'll be fixed. 0003c9fe 08:43, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Hiya Amorkuz, On FANDOM wiki, my name is XxDachshundxX. On the 25/1/18, I believe you blocked me from my account because I named myself after my YouTube channel. I was also blocked because I posted links to my YouTube videos which are reviews on Doctor Who stories. I looked up wiki guidlines and I have not broken any rule. I have also contacted FANDOM Support and spoken to the Senior Community Manager Chen Shen, who also says I have not broken any rules and says only you can unblock me. If I have inadvertently done anything that breaks FANDOM rules, I am sorry. I am happy to change my name and not post any more YouTube links. Please contact me at [email protected] if you want to talk to me. Kind regards, Robert The preceding unsigned comment was added by 118.211.133.186 (talk • contribs) .

Prose ovRe:views

I'm glad you enjoyed my First Doctor prose overview! I've started putting together a few others, but as you noted, they take a lot of work, so they won't exactly come quickly.

Also, I'm sure you saw that I went ahead and added our combined efforts to Bernice Summerfield (series), which looks really nice now. How far it's come! Thanks for all your help making that page more usable. :) – N8 21:26, January 29, 2018 (UTC)

Images

Goodness, I'm sorry, but I was simply not aware that this whole time so many people have been writing their messages on my "user talk" page. I don't know why I haven't received some kind of notification like earlier. And now I stumbled there by chance…

I understand about images, just wanted to bring some visual representation without realising that it will cause difficulties due to many strict policies. Дмитрий Куклин 07:36, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Testing infoboxes

Hey Amorkuz. I've been away from the wiki for a while (and not sure I'll be able to stick around as much as I used to, but intend to help when/where I can). In the time I was away, I looked around the coding for some infoboxes, and started trying to figure out how it all works. I made an early draft of an Infobox I wanted to do for a while, but now I'm not sure how to test it. When I type Template:OncomingStorm12th/Sandbox 3 in a article, it gives me a red link back. Would I need to create an acutal template to work around it, or is there some other way I can test it before moving the code away from my sandbox? OncomingStorm12th 22:20, February 3, 2018 (UTC)

Ooh, thanks. Way easier than I though. For now, I'm simply adapting {{Infobox Conflict}}, but if (more likely when) I need assitance, I'll make sure to ask you. Thanks for the help. OncomingStorm12th 22:51, February 3, 2018 (UTC)
Well, given I just adapted another infobox, I think the initial work is basically finished. I tested the infobox in 2012 Olympics. The idea is that we use the infobox in non-conflictual events (where {{Infobox Conflict}} doesn't quite work). The list of parameters I used are located on this page. I'm here mainly to ask you, when you have the time to do so, to give an overall look at the code, to see if there's anything that needs to be corrected, improved, or if you have ideas for other parameters.

Re: BF categories

Thanks. I've been guiding myself by Category:Audio overviews; you can keep an eye on there as well to see which ranges still need sorting. In this spirit, I've been thinking about doing the same for Category:Comic overviews in the future. What do you think? OncomingStorm12th 12:13, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

Also, I made this list to mark ranges I already finished (feel free to bold the names of any range you finish working) OncomingStorm12th 12:20, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

T:SPOIL

I saw you closed Thread:228790 due to T:SPOIL, but I noticed our wiki's spoiler policy is specifically written to apply to Doctor Who universe media, and the wiki doesn't regard the relevant series as being in the DWU (yet). That said, the policy doesn't explicitly say that it doesn't apply to non-DWU topics, either. Could you just clarify for the record if it does also apply to non-DWU material? – N8 14:43, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification :) I wasn't bothered at all by your closing the thread -- you made the right call. I remember wondering ages ago whether T:SPOIL applied to non-wiki stories, eg the Star Wars movies, so I just figured now would be a good time to ask. Thanks also for sharing your advice on the inclusion debate. Sorry I wasn't able to act on it quicker! – N8 20:14, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox Audio Series update

So, I started working on The Early Adventures and stumbled on a problem: the Infobox Audio Series only allows us to have 5 "|companion =" paramaters (which is, in most cases, more than enough). However, due to the nature of this series, the stories are scattered through the 1st and 2nd Doctor's adventures, meaning we get to see more than 5 companions, usually. I'm wondering if it'd be possible for you to change it to 7 (the biggest number of companions within a series of EA, in the first series). OncomingStorm12th 23:57, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks; another thing I noticed, though: some parameters are auto-linking (producer, exex prod and script ed) while others (cover, music and sound) aren't. I was wondering if it was done on purpose, or something that simply wasn't changed (there may be more parameters that aren't auto-linking, but these are the one I found so far).
