==1966 World Cup== | |||
Was there any particular reason why you removed most of the content from the [[1966 World Cup]] page? All of it was relevant to the article and was taken from valid sources. [[User:GusF|GusF]] [[User talk:GusF|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:11, August 16, 2018 (UTC) | |||
:Ah. I was unaware of the [[1966 World Cup Final]] page since I have been away from the Wiki for some time and you only created it yesterday. I agree that it is more relevant to that page. [[User:GusF|GusF]] [[User talk:GusF|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:19, August 16, 2018 (UTC) | |||

Hi, good job on the character images you added today. The cropping is just what we want for infobox images. Thanks, [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:31, October 21, 2018 (UTC) | |||
== Re: Sydney Carton == | |||
Hey, thanks for catching the Sidney/Sydney Carton mix-up. When I created <nowiki>[[Sidney Carton]]</nowiki>, I somehow missed that ''[[The Lampblack Wars (short story)|The Lampblack Wars]]'' spells it "Sydney". So now I've corrected it. Thanks again!

== Navboxes == | |||
With respect, while [[T:NO RW]] prevents us from making Marvel/DC conncetions in the ''in-universe'' portions of articles, ''navboxes'' are ''not'' written from an in-universe point of view, as shown by the fact that some of them even contain [[Tardis:Valid sources|<nowiki>{{invalid}}</nowiki>]] material. I daresay you could have talked about this with [[User:LegoK9]] before undoing all their work like this. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:18, September 27, 2020 (UTC) | |||

== Navboxes == | |||
Hiya, there are many reasons why I'm reworking the navboxes.<br>'''Firstly''', when they're formatted to be place under infoboxes, they quite commonly create a lot of dead space, especially on short pages.<br>'''Secondly''', these navboxes have sections that are unclearly defined, as the section lacks borders and such.<br>'''Thirdly''', the type of formatting you are insisting upon is only intended for navboxes like {{tlx|Doctor Who timelines}}. When one creates a new template, you'll be greeted with the "template type" menu, which tells you that the most "common" type of navbox is go at the bottom of the page.<br>'''Fourthly''', there is a lot of precendent for the formatting of navboxes I am trying to implement, as practically every less-than-recent navboxes use the aforementioned formatting.<br>Sorry if I've made you think that I'm talking down to you - I'm not. I'm doing what is best for the Wiki, which takes a lot of work. Even if that means overwriting other users' contributions slightly. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><tt>'''Epsilon'''</tt></span>]]''' '''[[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 03:14, 1 January 2021 (UTC) | |||
:Thank you for the civil reply on my talk page.

I feel that I might've gotten more riled up as time went on, and now I also feel that my message on [[Template talk:Scooby Doo]] is a bit unnecessarily provoking. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><tt>'''Epsilon'''</tt></span>]]''' '''[[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 03:52, 1 January 2021 (UTC) | |||
== Navboxes == | |||
Hi there, I've noticed you've created a ton of [[:Category:parallel counterpart infoboxes|parallel counterpart infoboxes]] over the last few months, and I'm wondering if you think we might standardize things with a general-purpose [[:Template:Counterparts]]? – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 21:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
:Awesome, glad it seems like a good idea. [[User:Bongolium500|Bongolium500]] is the best templatier around and might be able to help. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
== Re: Counterparts template == | |||
Hi, that's definitely something I can help with. I'm currently working on quite a large template project but the first phase of that should be finished by the end of today and I will have a lot more free time starting from Friday so I can probably have a look at it then. [[User:Bongolium500|<span title="aka Bongolium500">Bongo50</span>]] [[User talk:Bongolium500|<span title="talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC) | |||

:: I've finished the template. It can be found at [[Template:Counterparts]] where there should be sufficient usage information. If usage isn't clear, please let me know so that I can improve the documentation. This actually ended up being a really fun little project as I was able to use a few tricks that I wasn't expecting to work in order to build up all of the functionality that I felt was necessary. This has also meant that it is much more complex than [[Template:Looks like]]. Therefore, if you notice an issue, please let me know so that I can fix it.

::: I officially give my admin stamp of approval to this idea! Standardised templates are generally a good thing, makes it easier to maintain a consistent style across the Wiki. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 10:39, 25 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
FYI, I expect the problem you've noted on [[User talk:Bongolium500]] is because of a recent update to Fandom's software breaking the "Preview" button. (You can see this in our regular character infoboxes, where a bunch of fields are un-centered or otherwise broken in the "Preview" view.) If you set up the template properly and hit "save" – as I just did on [[Twelfth Doctor (Shadow World)]] – it'll load correctly. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 01:57, 26 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
: That's definitely an odd issue that I've never encountered but I think I know what it is and how to fix it. Fandom has a few different editors and, while I use the 2010 editor, I'm pretty certain you use the 2017 editor (also known as visual editor - source mode). What I think the issue is that the 2017 editor uses a different parser (the bit of software that converts wikitext to the actual webpage you view) for it's preview mode than the 2010 editor (which uses the same parser as is used to actually produce the finished webpage). Therefore, I think you can fix your issue by going to [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|the edit tab of Special:Preferences]] and switching your preferred editor from "visual editor - source mode" to "source editor" and making sure that "Enable the editing tool bar" is ticked. The next time you edit, there will be some noticeable differences, the biggest probably being page previews appearing above the edit box rather than as a pop-up window, but I don't think the changes would be too hard to get used to. Let me know if that fixes the issue. [[User:Bongolium500|<span title="aka Bongolium500">Bongo50</span>]] [[User talk:Bongolium500|<span title="talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:27, 26 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
== Parallel counterpart navboxes == | |||
Hello there :) | |||
I edited so many of these the last few days that I'll probably not remember which one I added the summary to first, sorry, but my general reasoning for re-applying (some of) them was: {{tlx|counterparts}} is absolutely useful, and should be used widely. ''However'', some characters (main characters/doctors/companions) are likelier to get more and more counterparts than a few one-offs. Therefore, it allows for easier maintenance if ''these'' maintain their own templates. | |||
To give a pratical example: [[The Doctor's TARDIS]]. As of right now, she has 10 counterparts + her N-Space page. Now, imagine that tommorow someone releases a page which contains a new counterpart of the TARDIS. If we were to simply use {{tlx|counterparts}}, that'd mean ''11'' edits necessary. Instead, by allowing {{tlx|The Doctor's TARDIS counterparts}} to co-exist with the general template, we only need to make ''one'' edit. That means less work, and ensures that all the Doctor's TARDISes pages will display them the same order, with the exact same text, ect. Uniformity is also good. | |||
On the other hand, <nowiki>[[Character XYZ who only appears in a handful of episodes and has very few counterparts]]</nowiki> doesn't warrant their own template, for example, [[Quences]]. So, it just becomes a matter of balancing the number of templates vs how easy it is to update the generic one. Personally, I'd say that once a characters has around 4 or 5, they're fair game to their own template, but that can, of course, be (further) discussed at some point.

== For(u)m Letter == | |||
Hey there, I hope your Halloween was decent. As you might know, we've not had forums for over two years at this point. A few of the regular editors have been having a discussion on this topic at [[Forum talk:Index]] and we'd like the input of other prominent editors if you have the inclination. Cheers.

== Andrea Yates's universe == | |||
Hey, I see you've recently started doing pages for several concepts relating to their [[Andrea Yates's universe]] counterparts. | |||
However, most of these concepts are very short-lived (often being only mentioned). Recently, long-standing practices on alternate realites has been codified into policy at [[Tardis:Merging policy#Alternate realities]]. Long-story-short: in cases such as these, it's more useful to readers (and editors, even) to keep the information at a single page, unless there's several paragraphs worth of information. | |||
So, something like [[Clyde Langer (Andrea Yates's universe)]] is acceptable, but [[K67 (Andrea Yates's universe)]] and [[Clyde Langer (Donna's World)]]... are not really needed. I'll go through the pages you made over the last days and merge some of them, but please keep this in mind on the future.

== ''Torchwood House'' == | |||
Hiya, I'd like to politely ask you to hold off creating any more pages for ''[[Torchwood House (tie-in website)|Torchwood House]]'' as I am currently trying to coordinate a lot of different parts of the larger Wikification of [[Doctor Who tie-in websites]]. Many thanks. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 18:35, 16 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
== The Lonely Assassins == | |||
Hey, is it okay if I merge your [[T:TF]] submission about ''The Lonely Assassins'' with the one about general interactive fiction/branching narratives? [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 16:36, 28 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
: Well if you want to read it, it's about 90% done as of now. It's at [[User:OttselSpy25/Multipath Sandbox]]. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 14:50, 11 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
== UNIT HQ == | |||
Hiya, in regards to the rename template you added to [[UNIT HQ, City of London]], I was planning on potentially moving the redlinks pointing go [[UNIT HQ (The Power of the Doctor)]] to [[UNIT HQ, Leadenhall Street]], although that name may be a little too specific. Otherwise, I think [[UNIT HQ, City of London (The Star Beast)]] and [[UNIT HQ, City of London (The Power of the Doctor)]] could work. Thoughts? {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 12:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC) | |||
== Re: Default gallery tabs? == | |||
There was a hacky workaround that I created on Fandom to do this, but it doesn't work here due to a slight difference in how infoboxes are implemented. Either or me or SOTO are going to redo the styling for infobox tabs very soon and so, when this happens, I'll also add the necessary code to make this work.

== File types == | |||
I'd just like to make sure you know that both PNG and JPG format's are fine on the site, since you've been mainly uploading JPGs, which used to be the only ones allowed. (I think JPGs have lower quality? From a quick Google search) [[User:Cookieboy 2005|Cookieboy 2005]] [[User talk:Cookieboy 2005|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:32, 22 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
