== Wiki policy == | |||
Hi, I'm writing about some of your edits at [[Series 11 (Doctor Who)]]. On this wiki we have (a lot of) policies that users must follow in order to make the wiki run smoothly. You may have noticed that we have almost 70,000 pages, and it's easier to maintain the wiki if we try to keep things consistent and easy to manage. | |||
Your removal of the "rowspans" from Series 11 is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, but there are some procedures that must be followed. | |||
* Any major changes must be made with approval of the wiki community, usually by posting a thread at the forums, in this case [[Board:The Panopticon]]. What you would do is start a thread explaining what you want to change and why. And please note that while a proposal is under discussion, no changes can be made using that proposal unless/until it is approved by an admin who closes the thread. | |||
* Your edit is considered a major change because we are using rowspans on '''all''' the series pages, not just Series 11, so we can't just have one page with the changes. Like I mentioned above, consistency across the wiki is easier to maintain, and your change would have to be made across all the series pages. | |||
* One of the things we want to avoid above all is [[Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing|edit wars]]. If someone reverts one of your edits, your best course of action is to ask them why on their talk page (especially if that person has more editing experience than you do). If you don't agree with their reversion, you can take it to an [[admin]]. What you should not do is keep adding it back every time it is removed. We have a lot of policies, and new users are rarely aware of all of them and therefore often make mistakes. | |||
So basically, if you want to make a case for removing the rowspans, start a thread at [[Board:The Panopticon]], and we'll see what happens. | |||
