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.
Page Creation
Hi. When I created the pages about stage play cast and crew, I was creating them from red links on the page Doctor Who and the Daleks in The Seven Keys to Doomsday so, I assumed that it wasn't nessessary for me to provide a source since they were already credited on the page. As for the category-less pages, I quickly added categories for most of them when I realised that they should be there, after I had made the pages.
I also wanted to mention that I have cut-down on my pipe-switching for story pages since I have now accepted, as you told me earlier, that it is a waste of my editing time and is against Tardis policy. But is Pipe-switching for articles of real people acceptable? Lego Whovian ☎ 20:37, September 13, 2013 (UTC)
Look on Chat now for my example of pipe-switching people page names. Lego Whovian ☎ 14:45, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Messages
OK, testing here first. That would certainly be an odd bug, but yet again, this is the first time I've seen the Spotlights not working completely on DWA (they've been blank before, but not totally missing). Just wondering, did you get my message from a few days ago regarding Spotlighting for the 50th? I left it on your talk page here, but it got archived soon after and you made no response.

Uh...
You can delete Doctor Who Prom (2013) again. Not sure how that was overlooked. I moved my relevant edits from my edit history onto Doctor Who at the Proms (2013) ages ago, and the televised version is in fact called at the Proms. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:26, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
Fix FixMe
Hey, could you update MediaWiki:FixMe.css, in light of Darwin? The edit button on user pages is no longer in a "better location", but completely off the screen. Thanks.

British Spelling
Hello there! I'm aware that you can use a template to request a rename for a page, but in this case it is a category. I'm not entirely certain a "category" is considered a "page", so I am asking you.
If I recall correctly, I am pretty sure that the British spelling of "license" is "licence." I think both of the titles of these categories need renaming: "Category:Doctor Who licensed food" and "Category:Publications related to Doctor Who licensed food."
Thanks! - Speedysnitch Talk contribs 23:34, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
Bot page background
Hello, I hail from the ERB Wiki. I would like to know how you got that cool template for the background of your bot's page. {{Subst:User:JPhil2.0/Signature|02:34:42|September 25, 2013}} 02:34, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
Grandma Rani.jpg
One more thing for when you return. You deleted File:Grandma Rani.jpg on the grounds that it goes against T:GTI. Which is perfectly fine unless normal circumstances except...
You used that same image as an example of what not to do on T:GTI itself. We just lost our illustration. I'd consider restoring it, but of course not letting it on any pages.

Did you get my messages?
Hey CzechOut, jut following the instructions on your DWA talk page and pestering you here after no response there. Just letting you know I left a reply to all your messages on your talk page there. Could it be that bug again stopping you from seeing them?
Also, another message which seems to have slipped under the radar twice now. Do you want to do any sort of collaboration between TDC and DWA in regards to the 50th? Even if the answer is no, can you please just let me know so I can sort out things over there? And if the answer is yes, do you have any ideas of things we could do? If you still haven't gotten back to me on this point by next weekend (not this one coming but the one after that), I'll message one of the other TDC admins about it. However, I would prefer to talk through you about it since you know both wikis the best. Imamadmad (Contact me) 16:25, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

Vandals
Vandals have struck the List of BBC DVD releases page, again. I've cleaned up the mess, but has the page become unprotected?Gallicus ☎ 06:31, October 2, 2013 (UTC)
Done: Returned to protected status. Be aware, though, that although the page is currently "indefinitely" protected, all protection will likely come off once the classic line wraps up next year.

Rotten Tomatoes pics
Yeah, sure. I'm on it.
--SOTO ☎ 01:58, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. I did a bit of a quick job of it (just in case I did it all wrong and I have to redo :P), so if I didn't do it properly, I'll gladly go back and fix things.
- I finally discovered Special:MultipleUpload, which is a real gem. Here are the images:
- The fresh ones got all pixelated once shrunk, obviously. Not much I could do about that. If I did something wrong or got the complete wrong idea (wouldn't be the first time), just get back to me.

Oops, sorry, I just forgot to upload it:

Bot
It's fine, I know you're busy. No, I have not yet created the account — no good names are coming to me. I'm looking for something preferably linked to my main account's name, but otherwise anything Who-related is fine. user:GadgetGadget's open, but perhaps too long. I thought of maybe user:Canine as a backwards pun on K9... but it's taken. Do you have any ideas?
If there's literally nothing else, I'll have go with the rather bland (but direct) SOTObot.
Also, since you think my base name's a bit too long (and I sorta agree), I can always rename myself to the shortened version, SOTO, right? It's already what I sign with and what people call me, and it won't look so huge in edit histories.

Mediawiki header
Didn't want to interrupt Thread:142564 further, but — while the editing header is admittedly now perfectly readable — there's about two inches of empty space above it. I can barely even see the very top of the box without scrolling down, due to the spoiler warning also taking up space above. I was only getting the problem mentioned by Digifiend on template pages. So it's currently fine in at least namespaces 2, 4, 8, 10, 12... You get the point.
- (Therefore the ones that have the empty space are 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11...)
So could you just push it back up a bit? No rush; it's not too much of a hassle.
--SOTO ☎ 01:39, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Done: …a couple of days ago. Digifiend has a total point, but I need to come back to it later with a more specific approach

Hi CzechOut. The links have been updated. The initial links were just what Kate gave me when I asked for them.
It's odd that you wouldn't be able to edit those MediaWiki: pages. The user right that grants that ability is "editinterface", which all admins have. Maybe that right is only specifically for editing MW pages that appear at Special:AllMessages. Anyhoo, if you ever need one of those MediaWiki:Button pages edited in the future, just message me or any Wikia staff member. JoePlay http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/a/a5/WikiaStaff2.png (talk) 17:47, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding the MW pages, yeah I forgot about them being limited to just staff when they contain <a href="">.
- As for the other thing, I was given a brief description of how it would ideally work, so I'm not sure I fully understand it. Based on the little info I was given - a large image that moves to the side when hovered, revealing the round buttons - I don't even know where to begin to make that happen. From the quick look at your wiki contributions, it's apparent that you're more experienced than me at coding (CSS, JS). I'm decent at CSS, but when it comes to JS, I have only the most basic knowledge of how it works, so I couldn't write a script from scratch, unless it was simply to prepend or append some HTML to an existing element. Before working on this redesign, I didn't even know that the transition CSS property existed. (Thanks Google!) :) That said, if the level of coding skill to make that happen (assuming it's possible) is beyond yours and mine, there are a couple people we could ask about it. On my team, Mark is somewhat experienced with JS. If he couldn't do it, we could go to Rappy and/or Grunny.

- Because I had to abandon the fading buttons method, what's being used at the moment is a simple <imagemap>. Those MediaWiki:Button pages are no longer being used, so no worries about you not being able to edit them. Tomorrow morning I'll upload a new image to be used on the image map that contains buttons that are 25% smaller and top-aligned instead of staggered.

Hey. Could you please come by chat? I put a few questions there for you just over a half an hour ago, but my computer unfortunately crashed when I tried to copy the entire text. So if possible, do not reload — check out the messages there, and please respond. If you already have reloaded, then I guess I'll have to re-explain once you get there.

The word sequel is quite common on this site actual, why else do you think I made the page in the first place (certainly not for someone to bloody delete it!) Snakedance (TV story), The Monster of Peladon (TV story), The Guardians of Prophecy and Corpse Marker (novel) all use the word Sequel on them! James Vick ☎ 22:20, October 12, 2013 (UTC)
