 This page is an archive. Please do not make any edits here. Edit the active conversation only.

This page is only for discussing the editing of our main page.

If you want to talk about anything else, your best bet is to start a new thread in one of our forums.

  • Questions about editing, policy or wiki organisation are best laid before the Panopticon.
  • Questions about a single narrative or behind-the-scenes point — where that answer is likely a known fact, like "Who played <role> in <story>?" or "In which issues of DWM will you not find comics?" — are best put to the reference desk
  • If you want to speculate about future episodes, and don't mind being spoiled, go to the Howling.

Shouldn't the home page have a link to the newest episode somewhere? There used to be a link to it but now that's the randomiser thing.

Sign your posts in future. Anyway, I agree with this, but you posted it in the wrong place. Try the forums.  Digifiend  Talk  PR/SS  KR  MH  Toku  JD  Garo  TH  CG  UM  Logos  CLG  DW  02:48,10/4/2012 

Someone really needs to keep track of the main page: look at the most recnt BF release bit: Black and White? We've had THREE releases in the main range since then! 114.30.106.233talk to me 11:17, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

The november releases are now out. The main page is seriously out of date. 182.239.154.28talk to me 12:03, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
Yep it is. Please register an account and change the page. This wiki doesn't just fix itself :)

I thought only the admins could edit the front page. Whoops (same anon). 219.90.209.115talk to me 07:04, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
God, no. We admin aren't suicidal. The less stuff that's admin-only, the better. We do prevent anon users from editing the front page modules — to prevent spam bots from takin' over the joint — but any registered user can edit 'em.

Randomiser[[edit source]]

Maybe we should have a separate randomiser for NuWHo and Classic Who. Often I'm looking for one or the other.

Quote of the Week failure[[edit source]]

"Don't like this quote? Reload the page to get a different one! ✍" This is a lie. It's determined by week, so reloading does nothing. The front page is so convoluted that I can't fix it. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Psicraft (talk • contribs) .

It's not determined by week, though it used to be. It does in fact "re-roll" the page on each page load. However, there is the possibility that you will roll the same quote twice. I suppose there's also the possibility that you could roll it a third or fourth time in a row, though I've not experienced that. It does work as advertised, within the limits of random chance, and the total number of quotes in the hopper.

Latest TV?[[edit source]]

I see sections for "Latest Audio", "Latest Books", etc, but is there no "Latest TV"? --Crockalley ☎ 00:05, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

FYI, black text on a dark blue background is impossible to read. I can't read anything on this Wiki without highlighting it first. 82.24.93.170talk to me 21:25, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
