Hi. Please look around at our category structure and pages before adding pages. The categories on [[Tiger]] have been removed for several reasons.

Please look around at our category structure and pages before adding pages. The categories on [[Tiger]] have been removed for several reasons. Firstly all our categories which don't have proper nouns in them are lower case (aside from the first word after [[Category:). So it should be [[:Category:Earth mammals]] not [[:Category:Earth Mammals]]. | ||
Also to note, if this were another article that were not involved in the [[Help:Game of Rassilon|Game of Rassilon]] the Earth Mammals category would not even need to be present on the article. | Also to note, if this were another article that were not involved in the [[Help:Game of Rassilon|Game of Rassilon]] the Earth Mammals category would not even need to be present on the article. | ||

Just saw your message in chat. Sorry I wasn't there to read it while you were still around. Yes, funky things are afoot with the [[Game of Rassilon]]. Please see [[Forum:Game of Rassilon errors]]. Since the code for the game is not accessible at the local level, we just have to wait for Wikia to fix it. I haven't seen ''exactly'' the error you're describing | Just saw your message in chat. Sorry I wasn't there to read it while you were still around. Yes, funky things are afoot with the [[Game of Rassilon]]. Please see [[Forum:Game of Rassilon errors]]. Since the code for the game is not accessible at the local level, we just have to wait for Wikia to fix it. I haven't seen ''exactly'' the error you're describing — i can certainly see how many people have earned a specific badge, and I can look at all my badges — but the Engineering department ''is'' working on the errors in the badge display area of user pages. It's possible you saw them apply a temporary fix that then got reverted. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 13:30: Tue 25 Sep 2012</span> | ||

:Some parts of what we call locally the "[[Game of Rassilon]]" – but which is known throughout Wikia as "Achievements" | :Some parts of what we call locally the "[[Game of Rassilon]]" – but which is known throughout Wikia as "Achievements" — are standard to every Wikia wiki. That is, there are some badges over which we, locally, have very little control. One of these "default" badges is the one pertaining to blog posts. If we could hide it, we ''would'' hide it. The best we can probably do is just change the text on it so it's clearer that it's unwinnable. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 17:53: Fri 28 Sep 2012</span> | ||

:I have to admit, though, that they are indeed (mis-)pronouncing the ''O'' in the play, so I can see your argument for the application of [[T:NO RW]]. I tend to discount it just because Jago could be realistically ''flubbing'' the pronunciation, because a 19th century Englishman would see "Croat" and pronounce it like the demonym for "people from Croatia". | :I have to admit, though, that they are indeed (mis-)pronouncing the ''O'' in the play, so I can see your argument for the application of [[T:NO RW]].

:I suppose I'll return the article to its amazingly stupid spelling. For the record, though, [http://ibiblio.org/ngraham/croatan.mp3 this is the pronunciation] that the University of North Carolina says is currently correct. And I mean, it's ''their'' state, so surely they "win" over Wikipedia. It feels like we're doing the moral equivalent of calling the article on [[London]], ''Londinium'' | :I suppose I'll return the article to its amazingly stupid spelling.

Hi, when wikilinking things like the synopsis you just edited for ''A Town Called Mercy'' please remember to link the correct incarnation of the Doctor. So instead of linking <nowiki>[[the Doctor]]</nowiki> use <nowiki>the [[Eleventh Doctor]]</nowiki> or if you think this alters the flow of the sentence pipe-switch it so it's <nowiki>[[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]]</nowiki>. You should only link to [[the Doctor]] article when you're linking the general concept of the Doctor or an unknown incarnation that we don't currently have a page for. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:49, February 26, 2013 (UTC) | Hi, when wikilinking things like the synopsis you just edited for ''A Town Called Mercy'' please remember to link the correct incarnation of the Doctor.
