Thanks for pointing that out. It is fixed. Amorkuz ☎ 23:12, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Re: images

Hi! I'm not the most technical person on this wiki (in fact, I'm probably the least technical person on this wiki), but there are a couple of forum threads where advice was given on keeping image size down. Check out Thread:148148 and Thread:215239 and hopefully you can find what you need. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 00:59, January 22, 2018 (UTC)

4DA overviews

Hey, glad you're joining in this project. Especially if you've listened to the audios. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide an overview of these at this time the way I did for Series 1 (BFTW) etc.

To answer your question. We have rather complex rules for TV seasons at Tardis:Cast lists#Season/series pages. That was the basis but is not optimal for audio stories. Basically, for audio stories, there is a better, more objective, criterion. Actors are actually featured on the CD covers (and anthology covers). In case of 4DA, there is also a two-tiered structure: mainliners are above the title while "featuring" are below. So the cast lists are populated accordingly: main subsection of "Cast" is the mainliners, which are usually uniform across the season; "Featuring" subsection is all actors featured on covers in the same order and styled the same way. For once, we do not have to come up with complex and potentially subjective rules. Amorkuz ☎ 07:56, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Cool. Hope you don’t mind if I beautify them afterwards a tiny bit. Yes, sure, 8DA too. It’s a long term project of matching for audio the coverage we have for TV seasons. Tardis:Neutral point of view is clear on the subject: all media are equal. Amorkuz ☎ 08:28, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Cast lists

Hey, I saw you recently added the casts for some of the new series 3 stories, which is great, but I was just wondering where you found the casts for each individual story, because all I could find was the cast for the entire set. Thanks for your time. 0003c9fe ☎ 15:21, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

easy. i've already listned those two, so i've simply heard which characters were active in which story. the rest is published at official BF site. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Starryl (talk • contribs) .

I am forced to warn that blindly copying the habits of novice users might not always be a good idea. The cast lists created by Starryl do not comply with T:CAST (at least the order of characters is wrong). Worse than that, they are pretty useless without links to the character pages, which require the knowledge of Tardis:Character names and, more widely, of Tardis:Disambiguation. Note also that BF cast lists sometimes contain incomplete names that have to be completed based on the text of the audio and misdirections to hide plot twists or return of prominent characters. Per T:CAST, the text on the page must be correct per BF credits, but the link should correspond to the content of the audio. Please keep these policies in mind while making cast lists.

first. i'm not a novice. i'm one of the leading members in russian segment. and i have alredy LISTENED to the whole new season, so i'm not coping - i KNOW what i'm doing. and characters are written in order of their appearence in audio and by their association. i don't see any point to mark a link to page that for sure does not exist yet, cause most of characters are for one time and brand new. don't see the problem for user who would be doing those characters to make links from their names. so please untill you listen all four new audios - refrain from calling that wrong. you may have your own policy for placing character names - but again - don't see the problem to change the place of rows. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Starryl (talk • contribs) .

RE: Series 5 episode vount

Hey there. You're actually correct, it was a misinterpretation on my part. I've since fixed the episode total - I thought the specials from 2008-9 counted for series 5. I apologise. Snivystorm ☎ 21:47, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

War Master gallery

I'll be careful not to give any stories/information about upcoming releases on this coment, but the thing is: neither of these series is officially over. This means that both pages (and their galleries) would then become bigger. How would we draw a line on "now this gallery is big enough for having only anthology covers"? Or, in the case of there already being two anthologies, would we have all anthology covers first, and stories later, or them mixed up? Both ways would end up, imo, look messy and a bit confusing for readers who are not familiar with the releases beforehand. Summing up: I truly believe too much work for too few gains.

I see The Diary of River Song: Series Three as a different scenario. That series is, very much likely, never gaining another story (further stories would be placed at Series Four, Five, etc.). This means that the gallery is forever being composed of the four images, and having the anthology cover in there brings no new information. Also, by having story covers on audio series pages, we're putting extra information there, when there's already a better place to put them. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:23, February 4, 2018 (UTC)

Linking from range page to series/season pages

Thanks for jolting my memory. I had the same concern but was busy elsewhere to think about it seriously. Now that you asked, there is a template {{main}} specifically for this purpose. I put those templates for each series at Fourth Doctor Adventures (audio series) to provide a sample. Amorkuz ☎ 20:15, February 8, 2018 (UTC)
