Hey all :) If you need help with anything, please ask, below. The page tends to fill up quickly, so I've got a lot of archives. I try not to archive discussions that are ongoing, but sometimes it unfortunately happens. Gimme a second shout if I've not answered your question!
This page is also available in Bulgarian, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Hebrew and Russian.
Please just check for me...
Hi CzechOut. Ok before I start to continue filling in the gaps and adding DWA comic strip images would you please just check out The Greedy Gulper and let me know if I've done the image category bit right. I think I've done as instructed but the box on the comic story images page doesn't look right (ie too many brackets).Thanks The Librarian ☎ 10:11, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, there seems to be something off with {{ImageLinkComics}}, but not the other ImageLink templates. This problem can be seen on every subcat of category:DWA comic story images. But I can't figure out just what the issue is, because the first link works fine and the markup for both links appears to be identical in the template in edit/source mode. For some reason, it's requiring a first varible for the second link. I fixed category:The Greedy Gulper comic story images by writing {{ImageLinkComics|}}, thereby introducing a blank variable. That's my theory anyways. Not my territory, so I'm just passing along what I found to you.

- I get that there has been a DWA comic link problem thats fixed but tried again this evening and found I couldn't add the category <story title> comic story images to a couple of images I uploaded ie CS DWA 293 METERORITE MEETING.jpg (and yes I realise the spelling mistake!) and CS DWA 294 TOWER OF POWER.jpg.
- I've checked and the category page for the comic story has indeed been created but shows no images.
- Also I notice at the bottom of the page; about > Apppears on these pages> the word 'left' appears immediately after comic story - and doesn't look quite right.
- I know you are busy on other things but this was partly the reason that I took a break from editing pages with pictures because I couldn't seem to get it right and have now returned keen to get it right this time. Thanks The Librarian ☎ 22:41, August 13, 2013 (UTC)
- two images from the lead images on The Greedy Gulper (comic story) and Meteorite Meeting (comic story) attached to illustrate the above point - hope this helps file:Greedy Gulper - word LEFT appears.jpg and file:Greedy Gulper - word LEFT appears.jpg The Librarian ☎ 03:50, August 14, 2013 (UTC)
- hi ok sorry about that :(
I've been using capitals for story titles, lower case for aspects - I'll have to rename my files first before uploads. I have checked the guidelines but its difficult to locate images in a widescreen format that illustrates the article that doesnt impact on balloons. Tails I could probably paint out. As comic stories are a visual medium there are often aspects of the frame that are I think worthy of inclusion if only in order to add context . But I will review my images again in the light of the points you have raised. The Librarian ☎ 11:15, August 15, 2013 (UTC)
- btw are DWA / DWM etc exempt from the caps rule? The Librarian ☎ 12:06, August 15, 2013 (UTC)
Years
Hey. Over time, I've been slowly moving year info to the new pages. That's done. The pages are still nowhere close to cleaned up and still need quite a bit of work, but I'm confident that everything is where it should be.
Give 'em all you got with bot runs. By the way, the reason I want to use WLH for this is because I'm already going to have to go through every page, clean up and check WLH. This is just my way of killing two birds with one stone. So please run the bot ASAP so I can get to work and finally (for the most part) finish with release days.

I've noticed a discrepancy
Hi. After editing the UNIT: Dominion (audio story) page I noticed that in the title of the page, there is a colon in the page title, but for the Project: Twilight etc there isn't due to, what is written on the page, limitations of Wikia software. Is this just a strange quirk of the system? or has the software been updated? if it has, is it possible to have the project: pages renamed so that they are the released names?

The Master
Sorry for that, as I said, I interpreted your words:
- Looks like JagoAndLitefoot has assembled good facts that would improve the article and should alter the article at the Master as appropriate.
- {{macqueen}} can be altered once those revisions are made, without having to come out from under protection.
As "you can change the header this time and I'll alter the template afterwards". Sorry if I misinterpreted it.
As for proof that it's before TVM, I didn't say there's any definite proof, just that now that there's Mastermind, the "release order" justification for putting it after TVM no longer holds, and given that the Master and the Doctor's timelines are usually in sync, it makes more sense to put it between Master and TVM until we have more information.

Wikia Guided Tours: "Space Opera"
My name’s Matt and I’m a community development associate for Wikia. I’m in charge of a monthly feature called “Guided Tours” where I interview experts on a given topic, asking questions about how they got into their area of expertise and how they recommend others do the same. Our next feature is going to be Space Opera, which Dr. Who definitely fits into!
If you could provide answers, as short or long as you see fit, to the questions below, your responses will be featured in the article. Check out the last Guided Tours article for an example.
Thanks!
1. Tell me a bit about yourself and your involvement with the Tardis Data Core.
2. How did you get into Space Opera? Into Dr. Who?
3. How would you recommend a beginner get into Space Opera? Any particular books/movies/comics/TV shows/games/etc. that would serve as a good starting point?
4. Anything you wouldn’t recommend?
5. Any additional advice you’d give to someone new to Space Opera?
6. What resources on your wiki might be useful to an aspiring Space Opera fan?

Hi Czech Out! My name is Ariana from the Community Development team over here at Wikia. I am wondering if you wouldn't mind making an announcement on your wiki about an upcoming bracket tournament that can involve the Tardis Wiki!
Thanks for considering it! Best, Asnow89 @<staff/> (profile)•(talk) 16:44, August 15, 2013 (UTC)
Here is the text: "Wikia is hosting a Fantasy Food Fight Bracket Tournament on Recipes Wiki, and we want YOU to be a part of it! We are asking that all of the communities on Wikia submit fictional foods from their wiki. For example, the Harry Potter Wiki might submit Butter Beer.
Which Dr. Who foods come to mind? We are accepting nominations through Aug. 26, and then the battle for the one fictional food that will rule them all begins!
