Transfers from my Sandbox[[edit source]]

I can't provide proper credit, not being an admin, so I can't transfer edit history, but I'd just like to note that User:Aquanafrahudy was very helpful in the writing of the Chibnall sections of the guides I'm discussing.

Guide:Crash Course‎ is ready to go.

Guide:Plot summary for those who left with Tennant‎, Guide:Plot summary for those who left with Smith, Guide:Plot summary for those who left with Capaldi, and Guide:Plot summary for new Who could all use a section on Flux and the specials to be written if someone would like to do that. (If not, give me like 30 min - 1 hour and I probably can. I'll, you know, have to figure out what the hell actually happened in Flux first, but I can try.) I'm going to clean up the episode suggestion guides real quick and then they should be good to ship, they're really easy to work with. Najawin 23:07, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

I can do the Flux summary, gimme a minute. Scrooge MacDuck 23:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Guide:Episodes for new Who, Guide:Episodes for those who left with Capaldi, Guide:Episodes for those who left with Smith, and Guide:Episodes for those who left with Tennant are all fundamentally ready to ship. They can be cleaned up and made to look pretty, but they're in a state that's useable. Najawin 23:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Fixing typos four times over is exhausting. Couldn't we do a Clever Thing with template/modules so that each of the three or four pages automatically uses the same plot summary for a given season ? Scrooge MacDuck 00:01, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Probably? But I'd suggest this is a bad idea. I can't recall off hand if for the plot ones I changed much but I do know that I tweaked stuff for the episode lists between each guide. They aren't quite identical, because they're tailored to slightly different people. Najawin 00:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
The plot ones end a bit abruptly at the moment, should there be something at the end saying something roughly like "and that's everything that's happened since X doctor left"? Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 08:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been unavailable for most of today. If there are large sections that are identical between guides, they can definitely be split off and transcluded. Perhaps something like Guide:Shared components/some form of name for the reused section? In any case, I will add the finished guides onto the index tomorrow. Bongo50 19:12, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
I've added all of the guides to Guide:Index. Before I link it on the main page and do an announcement/sitenotice, does it look alright? Bongo50 20:01, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Update on the mainpage link? Najawin 04:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed this message. I will go ahead with it now. Bongo50 19:37, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I've added a link, although I think it could be more prominent. I'm just not sure where. Does anyone have any thoughts? Bongo50 20:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Honestly, my idea was to have it in the body of the text of the "How to Doctor Who" section. So ymmv if that's a good idea or not. Also, you may want to lock the forum thread, since it's an announcement. Najawin 21:38, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Hmm yes. I'll play around with it tomorrow. I've locked the announcement. Thanks for the reminder. Bongo50 22:03, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
