::Hello again. While moving in to re-add those links, I noticed you have included those section suggestion headlines anyway so I re-added the lost information for each of those where they were there prior. I take it that was the intention, given you had added those in. Again, looking forward to your more detailed reply later.

:::Hello once more! Glad to hear your sleep was restful. I'm not a big soaps fan myself, but I do hope the show was a good watch :) | |||
:::That's pretty cool you invented the idea. I think its great; makes editing the pages a) consistent and b) organised, which is always a positive. Concerning the information, I think I can agree on removing the bi-generation part, given that appears to be more Toymaker than Doctor controlled, though I think references to the TARDIS piloting and his ease into the regeneration can stay: some cases in point for it - 14's post-regeneration goes well, whereas others do not (10's + 13's unconscious states, 8 losing his memory, 12's overall confusion, 5 falling into a panicked state shifting between incarnations) so I think there's proof there he's better adapted to it than others. Concerning piloting: Nine, Ten and Eleven proved themselves relatively inaccurate pilots (linking to the regeneration too; 10 crashed on his first usage, and 11 couldn't pilot to the correct year, whereas 14 was really accurate during his early hours by contrast. Naturally, if you have stronger counter points, do let me know. | |||
:::As for Epsilon removing the template; to be honest, its not a hill I'm willing to fight on over it. I was talking to staff members who assured me the intent was to keep the Doctor's pages short and split into a Bio subpage (its obvious 15 and 14's articles will be doubled in length within a year given the power of expansive media) but I'm not going to spend my time edit warring over it until staff implant it their themselves, then at least I know I'm in the right for pressing for shortening the article. I don't have the time for that kind of back-and-forth debating without resolution so that's a concern that can be dismissed for now. | |||
:::Sorry to hear you have been having a rough time recently. I share your desire for wiki editing to also be a positive escapism from daily life - spending hours writing about something we're passionate about to share with the community is a brilliant pass time! I also share your concerns with editing here though; as brilliant as this wiki is, its greatest flaw remains its '''immense''' size. One day, an article reaches a great state, but then a mass of editors can come along, loads of editing occurs and it becomes a mess because editors are inconsistent. There's variation from fully-clued in editors on all policy, editors who are competent but out of date with style policy, to brand new editors who do not know the many policies (or even FANDOM editing in general). Yet, the wiki's vast size means a mistake can linger on a page for days, weeks, years without correction and even mass planned action decided via community discussion does not occur (or, more common, does not stretch across all of the wiki's articles) because the people intent on doing it simply don't have the time to do so or '''because the wiki is so so vast in in its content''' they fade into inaction on it because adapting 100,000 articles is overwhelming for what is, in reality, 20(?) consistent daily editors. | |||
:::My compromise has always been: focus on what I'm most knowledgeable and passionate about writing. At least then I know a slither of the wiki is being edited to the best of my ability. Albeit, it frustrates me I don't have the time to improve everything my eye catches. Besides, even my editing isn't fully up to snuff in some respects though because new policy comes in that I need to brush up on, but again clashes with other editors because that wiki-wide consistency is so difficult to maintain. At least Doctors 1 through 13 are '''definitely''' intended for cutting down, given staff members added the template there personally. That shall be my endeavour, in the fleeting chances I get to progress with it. | |||
:::Anyway, that's enough of that ahah. I have indeed found the reply satisfactory and I eagerly await your response concerning the inclusion of the Doctor's piloting skills on the article (see paragraph 1). Always good to chat - glad it helped you :) [[User:Snivystorm|<font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">''Snivy''</font></font>]]<font face="Arial"><font color="dodgerblue"> </font> [[User talk:Snivystorm|<small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ ''The coolest Pokemon ever'' ✦</font></font></small>]]</font> 19:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
