Minor point, but with the upcoming relaunch branded as "Season 1", should the sidebar link say "latest season" instead of "latest series"? Also, whilst the season is airing, would it be worth having a subheading "Season 1" with episode page links appearing as each one transmits? Could help drive traffic to newer episode pages, and then we could keep "topical pages" to individual elements (eg. the Doctor, latest villains, specific aliens, etc.) — [[User:Fractal|Fractal]] [[User talk:Fractal|<span title="Talk">•</span>]] 22:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC) | Minor point, but with the upcoming relaunch branded as "Season 1", should the sidebar link say "latest season" instead of "latest series"?

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but the last two times I tried, this wiki's URL was nonresponsive, and then I had commitments in the real world that needed attending. But, in honour of the rebirthing nature of spring, I've decided there's no time like the present; I've decided to leave both TARDIS Wikis after nearly 10 years of contributing. This fork has unfortunately divided this community, and I am not liking what I am seeing here. In respect to the users on this Wiki that I still get along with, I've transferred some of my recent edits over to show there are no hard feelings overall, as it is with a select few I have umbrage with, but we'll get to them later. | |||
Initially, I was hoping we could co-exist like the Transformers and NBC' Heroes Wikis, but the comments here about wanting to stamp out the Fandom Wiki and leave this one as the one true wiki has left a "with us or against us" mindset that I simply can't abide by, especially since a few editors here have continuously harassed me on the Fandom Wiki. Just as a heads up, you guys might want to do an IP check on 185.69.145.53, since I believe they edited the Fandom Wiki to bypass the forking policy. | |||
Going back to the "Calling out" post I did a few months that was meant to act as a warning of power going to heads (which in retrospect does come across as being a bitter statement, but I was feeling sickened by the attitude regarding Fandom from Fractal's reply to WaltK), I shall applaud Fractal for showing such maturity to what they perceived to be an attack, which showed leadership skills this wiki could use, and I for one think they should join the Admin ranks, especially since Fractal is a public financial benefactor. I just wish the same could be said about the ''actual'' admin, Scrooge MacDuck, who essentially threw a hissy fit that only raised my concerns that they were trying to scam people out of money, instead of alleviate it with a calm discussion. And since then, they continue to advocate an "us or them" message by wanting the Fandom Wiki to "shrivel up and die", while insulting the Fandom loyalists as "misguided". First you all emulated the [[High Council]] with your dogmatic approach to policy enforcement when it was against your favour, then you copied [[the Division]]'s plan by stealing 20 years of hard work to a separate domain ala their [[Universe Two]], and now you have an admin quoting the villain song from ''The Lorax''! How many villains do you lot have to act like before you all realise you're not the freedom fighters you believe you're selves to be? | |||
Now to address the elephant in the room; the constant harassment. It all stems from Scrooge MacDuck again, who took it upon themselves to remove contributions I made to Master pages that they followed, while ignoring edits made to Master pages they did not. When I engaged them in conversation, and they said their beef was edit summery boxes being blank, I told them about my autism making communicating my intentions into words difficult and that I preferred to let actions speak for me. Their response was lengthy, but the part that stuck out was; ''"I'm very sorry but if you can't bring yourself to do the summary for a given edit for whatever reason, don't do the edit."'' Essentially saying that I should not contribute for a condition I cannot control, and seemingly elevating them above me for lacking the disability. Such an ableist reply left me dumbstruck, but I decided to calm down before I reported them. By the time I did, the fork had already taken place, allowing them to escape justice, and leaving me to think they rushed the forking to escape retribution when word got out about my plans to report them. In light of recent accusations of ableism on this wiki, you guys might want to revaluate yourselves. | |||
When I learnt of the fork, I decided to check it out, but, after editing the Toymaker's biography to make it less about the Doctor and more about the Toymaker, as was a conclusion I was lead to believe was approved after pointing out the hypocrisy of not extending a similar courtesy to the Masters' pages, not only was this edit also undone, but Scrooge MacDuck took it further by messaging me about edit-waring, despite it being my first edit on he subject, but to also spout nonsense about their view on chronology to lecture me on being a "productive editor", as if all my years of editing before them were for naught. Seeing that my problem with the Fandom Wiki was still present on this Wiki, I decided then to go back to Fandom, even put myself down as a new Admin to lend a hand, only for Najawin to sabotage my offer of help by making it out to be a power play, and I was too busy attending to a sick relative to amount a proper counterargument, costing me the adminship. As if to put salt in wound, they have since continuously messaged me to comment on my discussions with other editors on Fandom Wiki, and have stated their unwillingness to cease with both the harassment and invasion of privacy on the basis that it does not break policy, as if principle and common courtesy were non-existence. It is because of these two and their attitudes that have lead me into my decision to outright leave the TARDIS Wiki Community. A sad outcome; After all these years of adding to the Doctors' psychological and appearance profiles, helping with the timeline theory pages and wishing my fellow users Merry Christmases, to be practically forced out by fans the [[Abzorbaloff]] was a satire of as my exit, for I can no longer tolerate their vile and refuse to be absorbed into their toxicity any longer. | |||
While I'll still edit on the Fandom Wiki, it won't be as often as it was before. As for this "Independent Wiki", I'll be sure to close the door on my way out. | |||
