Epsilon the Eternal

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Revision as of 12:40, 9 January 2023 by Epsilon (talk | contribs)

INTRODUCTION:

The human known as Toby Price went under the alias "EPSILON the ETERNAL" on the respectable Tardis Wiki, welcoming the editors who visited his profile warmly. He introduced himself as an editor with over 26,000 edits, who also frequented — and administrated — other Wikis such as the Fandom-hosted Home Alone Wiki and the Miraheze-hosted Magrsverse Wiki. He pointed out that he has had some presence in official media, and would like you to know that his brief appearances are of the same value and notability as that BAFTA-winning actor from Sex Education whose identity infamously cannot be confirmed, thank you very much. He will not be accepting any claims to the contrary at this time.

After Epsilon (not to be confused with the Sun Builder known as Epsilon the Watcher) rambled on for some time about rather middling facts about his enjoyment of the macabre, strange, and obscure, he realised that his third-person perspective user page that he had been writing wasn't particularly a good idea — especially as he knew he had unashamedly stole the idea from @Scrooge MacDuck who had came up with the idea in the first place — and who had executed it much better.

"Ah yes, me, a fairly anxious resident of the Third Universe has been inexplicably contacted by the alternate universe counterpart to this conspiracy nut I follow online via his website that's stuck together with virtual sellotape and tears, and he is sending me on this wild goose chase for a code on another universe's World Wide Web to take down a Corporation that is attempting to turn everyone on Metal Men of Sadness and Pain, and now I have the code I am on the Corporation's official website which is allowing me to hijack a Weaponised Zeppelin to shoot at a mega factory in another Universe's Paris, all while using a unprofessionally built website on early 2000s Internet speeds. I see no issue with this!"Cybus Spy or something

UNIT UK The Wiki currently conflates UNIT the organisation with UNIT the British contingency; these really ought to be separate, considering that they are rather distinct at times, even if some stories kinda ignore the branches in other countries.

Ncuti Gatwa Draft of Ncuti Gatwa's page, which we'll probably need in the next few months. (Full version)
Trains in the DWU An ill-thought out attempt to compile info on all the trains that appear in DWU sources... however I forgot that DW likes to make up a bunch of stuff so the job is 1000x harder than I expected.

Alternate reality games A draft for the page about alternate reality games. (See also this.)

 Seems to be unfinished, and has no actual content on the site apart from a (non-working) .GIF of the Tenth Doctor.

The following websites appear in TV: The Runaway Bride.

The following are individual pages on the Cheapserve website; listed here due to my difficultly finding them, as there is very little internal linking

The following websites are fan made, and should not receive pages.

The following are other BBC webpages of note

It is also worth noting that User:CzechOut/Sandbox17 has a lot of links to pages that used to contain information from tie-in websites; whilst I disagree with the rationale of the sandbox's creation, it is admittedly useful for links.

Non-website stories I've found whilst covering websites that will need to be covered

Times that Iris Wildthyme has been referred to by her resemblance to Katy Manning

Quote Source
"a scruffy old dear exploring a universe hidden in a cupboard in the Bus, the spitting image of the glorious Katy Manning" Bafflement and Devotion: Iris at the Edges
"(using the Katy Manning version and accompanied by Panda)"

"Iris has at various points in her life resembled Edith Sitwell, Jane Fonda and the popular television actress Katy Manning."

Quotes by Wiki editors that aged like cheese

Quote Editor Date Reason
"Oh and another thing to be made crystal clear: The King of Cats (audio story) should never have even been suggested to be put on this wiki. That story has nothing to do with the DWU." User:TheChampionOfTime 26 Jan 2017 The King of Cats is literally the first in the sequel series to The Nest Cottage Chronicles, featuring many, many, DWU elements.
"Fanfic disallowed on this wiki: take your pick. Fanfic. No copyright permission from the BBC. Specifically rejected by the BBC. Never to be re-created." (deletion rationale)
"This is fan fiction, rejected by the BBC, printed without permission. We don't cover it." (protection rationale) 		User:CzechOut 24 June 2017 The deletion rationale for Campaign, which funnily enough has been re-created, and under policy too!
"Suggestion is not the same as statement. Doctor Who does not exist within the DWU, inasmuch as there have been occasional stories which are set in the "real" universe and the real universe is somehow connected to the DWU. Remembrance is not proof of the existence of Doctor Who in the DWU, but there have been three comic stories where it's suggested the Doctor makes it through to the real universe in order to talk to the actors Tom Baker and Matt Smith, and the writer Sean Longcraft. But in all cases it's clear that the Doctor has travelled to a different universe than the one he regularly inhabits."[2] See the footnote above Firstly - HA HA HA!

Secondly - Doctor Who unambiguously exists in-universe. It has been a fact since comic stories from the 1960s. There are literlly dozens of sources that corroborates its existence.

Thirdly - there is no evidence within Doctor Who and the Fangs of Time to suggest it takes place in any other universe than the Doctor's.
