Unbounds

Just so you know, Thread:207240 decided that all Doctor Who Unbound stories are considered valid on this wiki. CoT ? 00:36, May 13, 2017 (UTC) The why does the NOTVALID page list it as an example? (JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 18:22, May 13, 2017 (UTC))

Because it hasn't been updated yet. CoT ? 18:30, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

Updated. Thanks for pointing out. Amorkuz ☎ 18:44, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

Minor edits

In addition, you label most of your edits as "minor", which does not really fit the definition of a minor edit (see Tardis:Edit summary). Changing the validity status of a story is certainly not a minor edit, independent of whether it is correct. Amorkuz ☎ 00:49, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

Blocked?

Why can't I edit anything? JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 02:23, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

I don't see any block in the log. What page(s) have you tried to edit? Shambala108 ☎ 02:26, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

Lake Silencio, Kovarian, Still point in time, and the The Power of Three (TV story) JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 02:28, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure what's going on, you might have to contact a person at the main wikia site. Shambala108 ☎ 02:34, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

What does that mean? JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 02:34, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

At the very top of any page, you'll see a tab titled "wikis". Use the dropdown menu to click on "community central", then there should be a place for you to contact someone who can help you figure out what's going on.

Go to this page, [1] and once you're there, look at the sentence that ends "you can contact FANDOM staff directly here." Click on the word "here" which will take you to a form that you can use to ask for help. Shambala108 ☎ 02:42, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi, please note that even edit summaries are subject to Tardis:No personal attacks. Your edit summary, "When did I say he spoke? And did you even watch the episode? He clearly spoke to Adric", at The Doctor, specifically the part I put in bold, is a violation of the policy. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 23:13, January 22, 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about that. JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 04:04, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Adding videos

Hey there. Just noticed you were wondering how to add videos on the wiki. There's a basic "how to" guide here for that. Thanks! Snivystorm ☎ 17:55, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

As an admin, I am forced to overrule Snivystorm here. By Tardis:Video policy, only admin are allowed to add videos. There are no exceptions. Instead, if you find a video you think should be added to the wiki, please use Tardis:Video recommendations to request it be added by an admin. Amorkuz ☎ 19:42, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

Ah, my mistake. I apologise. Snivystorm ☎ 19:45, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

Since I was the one first approached on this topic, I'll just add here that I've done a fix at Help:Related Videos to make it clear that all users are bound by Tardis:Video policy when it comes to uploading videos. Previously, the site (probably mistakenly) linked back to itself when trying to send users to the current policy. Shambala108 ☎ 20:06, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

In that case, can you upload the video for me? JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 23:07, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

Sure. Let's also use this opportunity to test how it is done in a regular way. Why don't you submit a request using video recommendations, which all admin can see and fulfil (or sometimes explain why the video is not good)? Amorkuz ☎ 23:25, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

Invalid is much further than alternative

That’s just plain wrong. Please remove the links you know about. As OttselSpy25 likes to say, DWU is really a multiverse. There’s plenty of evidence to support this. Parallel, alternative, and bottle universes have all been mentioned and visited, as were alternative timelines and other dimensions. These things are within DWU. So is the page Parallel universe. Thus, invalid stories cannot claim to be set in one. And anyways such a claim can only be based on a speculation, which are not allowed. So please remove the incorrect links. Amorkuz ☎ 08:11, February 7, 2018 (UTC)

Ok JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 08:12, February 7, 2018 (UTC)

redirects

Hi, please note that it is not necessary to correct redirects. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 05:09, March 4, 2018 (UTC)

Neutral point of view

Hi, please note that the edit summary you left at Romana II, "destiny of the daleks info added (it's incredibility implausible that the Romana seen in Destiny of the Daleks was the TARDIS, so I've added a 'according to one account...but according to another account' sort of thing)", specifically the part I bolded, goes against Tardis:Neutral point of view. Please make sure that when you edit, you keep that policy in mind. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 23:47, March 4, 2018 (UTC)

Indistinct thumbnail

What exactly does "thumbnail of this image was too indistinct" mean? (JMC Red Dwarf ☎ 03:22, March 16, 2018 (UTC))

Images

Well, "the thumbnail of this image was too indistinct" is pretty self-explanatory. Most viewers to the site never look at images beyond the thumbnail image available on article pages. If it's difficult to tell the subject of an image at that size, we delete it. You can see Tardis:Guide to images#Images must work as thumbnails for some examples.
